The heavy clouds of gloom that
shrouded the talks on crops are be-
ginning to dispense before the bright
rays Of a more complete knowledge of
conditions Especially is this true Of
the much bemoaned potato crop,
which was believed to have persisted
miserably in all it's favorite haunts.

be built on the Claude on of the

site being provided for these. 1t was
desired to obtain the opinion of the
architect on the best arrangement of
the tents and cottages and as well
on other ideas to be carried out.
