Correspondence â€" W. E. Nesbitt, chairman, and C. W. Culp, Wm. Mitâ€" chell, C. A. Ansell, E. B. Osbhorne The delegates felt that in these four counties owing to the heavy volume of international traffic, that the govâ€" ernment should bear the full cost of the highways instead of the present 80 per cent., and the 60 per cent. they pay in areas near large municipalities. It was pointed out how quickly the Ancaster and Niagara highways had worn out in comparison to the less travelled highways of other parts of the province and it was stated that these roads do not even last until the debentures issued for them are paid.

Lircoln â€"And Othker Counties Want Gov‘t To Bear Entire Cost of Highways Instead of 80 Per Cent Another point stressedâ€" was that connecting links built in the highway chain which are only of benefit to motorists passing through but which do not aid the areas in which they are built, such as the Stoney Creek cutâ€" off, should be paid for exclusively ioy the government. & J. Arthur Swayze, Reeve of Grantâ€" ham, was elected warden of Lincoln County on Tuesday, his opponents beâ€" ing Reeves Woodruff, Copeland and Osborne Only one ballot was required. Mr. Macaulay stated that he was in sympathy with some of the reâ€" quests, but that the government, as well as the farmer was suffering from a reduction in revenue. He stated he was not in a position to promise reâ€" lief, but would give the matter his earnest attention. J. A.

The Grimsby Fire Brigade which was summoned by George Fair, Park suâ€" perintendent, made a quick response and for nearly two hours fought the fire which, it is thought, was caused from an overheated stove. The fire was a difficult one to get at, the fireâ€" proof roofing keeping the blaze from breaking through. No one was in the building at the time. The owner was visiting at the home of a friend at the time and did not know of it until notiâ€" fied by neighbors. Fortunately the house is some disâ€" tance away from other properties so that there was no danger of igniting nearby dwellings. A passerby noticed the flames and notified the park superintendent. The water pressure was unusually good, the firemen utilizing two lines of hose.

T. "Mrs. Higgs And Her Family Album" Provide Delightfal Evening MARRIED Prof. Caesar said that the San Jose Scale had been found for the first time in 1894 or 1895, nearly 40 years ago and had been more or less preâ€" valent up to the years 1917â€"1918. The winter of 1917â€"1918 was the severest in fifty years and the cold weather had the effect of cleaning up the San Jose Scale. The next year was a cold and wet one and the cold season kept it down while lots of parasites atâ€" tacked them.:Owing to the absence of the pest, the people from 1918 to 1928 felt they didn‘t need to spray, and most of them ceased spraying or were not inclined to do it thoroughly, a lot of growers stating they had no scale. When the scale went down the parasites also dissppeared. In recent years with mild weather and absence of spraying the scale again began to make its appearance and in the years 1930 and 1931 the weather was remarkably favorable for scale. There was a hot summer in 1931 and a warm open fall and the scale continued breeding rapidly. The scale insect was a prolific producer, increasing very fast. > Deputy Reeve Mitchell who presided said there had been dissatisfaction reâ€" garding the results secured from spraying and it was desired to secure information as to how best to combat the San Jose Scale which infects the fruit trees. Mr. T. R. Hunter, fruit Pest Inspecâ€" tor, said he had found scale in pracâ€" tically all orchards butâ€"there was no scale on peach trees. Both oil and lime and sulphur had been used in spraying. The trees appeared to be free of everything but scale. Prof. Caesar of the Dept. of Agriâ€" culture, who spoke at some length, commended the North Grimsby counâ€" cil on the, initiative taken in calling the meeting indicating their interest in the matter. 25 Acres Purchased Along Mounâ€" tain Face At Sheriff‘s Sale â€"Price $60 A meeting of the fruit growers of the township of North Grimsby was held in the council chambers, Grimsâ€" by, on Saturday afternoon for the purâ€" pose of discussing the proper spraying of fruit trees affected by the San Jose Scale, apple growers having been parâ€" ticularly invited. At a sheriff‘s sale on Saturday the Village of Beamsville bought in the twentyâ€"five acres of rock and wooded land along the mountain face, west of the reservoirs, and extending to J. D. Albright‘s property. The price paid was $60, and had been held by a Mrs. Gillray. A valuable spring had been lately drilled on this property for the corporation and there were more inâ€" dications of water to be found. There is also unlimignd quantities of stons there available for road repairs. Five acres is tillable land and is planted in fruit. The corporation is now the ownâ€" er of practically all the mountain brow facing the town for nearly a mile. In controlling this territory the control of the water supply will never be in jeopardy as long as the springs hold out. There were prospects that we would have a fairly mild winter and we were likely to have a bad attack of scaie which originally came from China, beâ€" ing an imported insect. It tendâ€" ed to become less virulent and he did (Continued on page 4) BEAMSVILLE BUYS LAND Vacancies On Beamsville Council Are Filled John G.
