CROP REPORT-Bank ofMosit- real Crop Report for the Mari- times dated August 5 reads: "The warm weather and frequentshow- era during the past week have been beneficial to all crops. Grains have made satisfactory progress and, with the exception of a few areas where seeding was late. the rain has been a slight hindrance in some districts. harvesting of a better than average hay crop is well advanced. Grass pastures are in good condition. Present pros- pects are for an average crop of potatoes which. in common with other roots, are making satisfact- Ofy progress. Apples are sizing well. but. owing to the prevalence of s:ab and the heavy July drop. the crop is expected to be below average. Strawberries were a good crop. while blueberries and other small fruits look promising.
The death occurred yesterday afternoon at the P. E. Island Hospital of Mr. E. F. Acorn. one of Charlottetownu prominent business men. He was 64 years o’ age. While he had been in ill health for several weeks. his condition had recently improved so that hospital authorities had allowed him to go home last Wednesday for a brief visit with his famny His condition, however, suddenly became worse upon his return.
The late Edgar Franklin Acom led an active life not only as a business man but as one who was greatly interested in all com- munity affairs. A keen sportsman, he was usually to be seen either as a spectator or as an official at local athletic events.
But it was as a starter at horse-racing events that he oe- came such a well-known figiue to so many people in the Man times. He began as a starter in the 1920's at the Provincial Ex- hibition races in Charlottetown and his reputation as a fair and efficient official so grew that he. was soon officiating at all un pcrtant races throughout the Maritimes. He retired from tms activity in 1933 but never lost his
interest in horses and was a familiar figure at most racing events in Charlottetown and
other Maritime centres until his failing health compelled him,tu absent himself.
Though a man whose self rt- liance and strength of characte: were the compelling forces which refused to allow his acceptin; anything which he did not ea.-n he was a "soft touch" for any needy appeal and no one but hm.- self ever knew how’ many times l.- hls generosity was the means of helping out cases of dire need. He was especially interested in the welfare of the young and was el- ways a generous contributor to any appeal for their cause.
He w» a valued member of the First Baptist Church, Charlotte- town. and of the Independent Order of Foresters. and the Chai- lotietown branch of the Canadian Legion.
