Since May 10 weather has been cooler than average for this time of year, Dr. Mills F.

Clarke, superintendent of experimental farm, reports. There were about three very warm days in early May but none since May 10. Weather conditions have caused some lodging of hay crops, with consequent waste in cutting. Pastures are reported good although cool weather has influenced them too. Vegetable acreage is up throughout the valley, according to packers.

Detailed acreage survey figures of the provincial horti cultural branch will not be available for some days yet, so full extent of the acreage increase is still unknown. Corn growth in the Chilliwack area is reported good, but slowed somewhat in recent days by cool weather. Peas and oats are doing well. "Vegetable production is one of the expanding industries of the Fraser Valley," one officer informed The Progress. Small fruit crop prospects continue to be favorable, though some frost damage is reported from the Clearbrook-Huntingdon area over the weekend.

"Most of the reports are in the boundary country, along Huntingdon Road and south to the border," Ian Carne, provincial horticulturist at Abbotsford, reports.
