Although nothing more has been re-
ported on the proposed erection in Rus

not stated, but it is probably designed
for the long waves in view of the fact
that its antenna is 5000 feet long

around $2,000,000

GRASSHOPPERS
MENACE CROP

While conditions are fairly sat-
isfactory in the prairie provinces
of Canada, crops have suffered
from intense heat during the past
week, says the Bank of Montreal
in it's current report, and the
grasshopper menace has become
serious, damaging all three prov
inceS.
In Quebec cool weather and lack
of moisture has retarded the
growth of crops generally. In
Ontario crops are in advance of
former years but rain is badly
needed to promote growth. In the
maritime provinces recent rains
have proved beneficial and crops
above ground are showing salts
factory growth.
In British Columbia early crops
have made poor progress in the
Fraser Valley and it is estimated
that yields of grain and hay will
be considerably below average.
Conditions have been more favor
able in the interior of the prov
ince.
