Condition of Cereal

Canada Is Encouraging
Hemp Production in
Prairie Provinces.

Washington, April 2.-The condition
Of cereal crops in the northern hem
isphere was described as generally
favorable" by the department of ag-
riculture's bureau Of crops Saturday in
summary of foreign crop prospects.
Mil dwinter weather in almost all the
reporting countries was said to have
been an important factor in the crop
situation.
The bureau says that although sew
eral reports have been received as to
Russian crops, nothing reliable had
come through and the effects Of the
soviet plan for the compulsory SOW
ing of all land remained to be seen.
Due to mild weather, seeding was
reported to have started in the Can
adian provinces of Saskatchewan and
Alberta d month earlier than usual.
Winter rains improved the autumn
sown cereals in France while climatic
conditions have been generally favor
able for spring work in the fields.
Spring cultivation was reported as
further advanced than usual in the
United Kingdom, and the wheat of
which the area sown was slightly
greater this year. lis strong healthy
plant. From the southern hemis
phere, Argentine reported continual
ton of favorable climatic conditions
although rains toward the end Of the
harvest may result in some damage.
Excessive rains were reported from
Australia but the latest figures indi-
Gated the output of wheat would reach
147,OO0,O0O bushels.
The bureau noted an effort to en-
courage the production of hemp in the
prairie provinces of western Canada
with view Of substituting the home
grown product for the imported.

FLAYS TALBOT

Dublin, April 2.-The Freeman's
journal commenting Saturday on
the appointment of Lord Edmund
Boinard Talbot as lord lieutenant
and governor general of ireland in
succession to viscount French,
says it is to be claimed as recon-
mendation that Lord Talbot is a
Catholic. The newspaper added:

people to this rabid Tory partisan

viceroy has been the principal or

land and England.
The Freeman's Journal says 1t
thinks the motive of the appoint
ment Of Lord Talbot was the de-
sire of Premier Lloyd George to
keep the vatican in good humor,
but officials here declare like'ier
explanation is that the viceroy is
appointed for the whole Of ireland
and, therefore, it was necessary to
appoint a Catholic whose political
record would render him agreeable
to Ulster.
