Philip Blue Tells Of Crops in Canada.

Kronan, Sask., Can., Aug. 9, 1914. Theodore George, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: In answer to yours of a few days ago, asking what the crop conditions are here in this locality, will say the wheat crop looks fine to- a Hoosier, but residents that have been here a few years say the crop is not as good as it has been for a few years back. Where the ground was prepared last year for this year’s crop it is good and looks like it might make from 35 to 40 bushels per acre. The oats crop will not be heavy but will be from half to a twothirds crop; or looks that way at present; and yet it is just a little early to tell what the oats crop will make. The garden truck is fine and plenty of it. I never raised better. Yours truly, PHILIP BLUE.
