General Manager THE and Grimsby The contractor who is now laying the tarvia road between GRIMSBY Beach and Beamsville, seems at last, to have gotten onto his job and preâ€" sent indications ure that he can build a good road 1nd build it quickly; but he h5s been nearly a year finding out the how. His work last year, between Beams ville and Vineland, in hol"‘ing the highway tied un for a long time and forcing the nublic to detour through the most damnable roads, was » most deplorable cireumstance,â€"a circumâ€" stance that wonld not hâ€"ve occurred had the Minister of Public Works, or the Deputyv Minister of Public Works, and the engincors, in charge had as much brains as God eave a goose. The Minister of Public Works and the Deputy Minister of Public Works for the Province of Ontario have provy en themselves to be nothing more or less than jackassesâ€"they have not given the travelling public the=slightâ€" Even now no progress is being made toward a permanent road,â€" men and teams and machinery are engaged in laying down a piece of water bound macadam road, which, if not soon covered up with a tarvia surface, will be torn to piseces and be worse than useless, as all the other road laid down on the highway last year has been torn to pleces and has been practically a waste of money. est consideration during the building of new stretches of work on the pubâ€" lic highways. The one exception that I refer to, occurred in the Township of North GRIMSBY, when, by the action of the Reeve, the engineer and contracâ€" tor were forced to open the road and allow the traffic to go throughâ€" when scores of automobiles and trucks were stuck in the mud in the neighboring fields. Apart from these men‘s utter disâ€" regard of the public‘s rights, I doubt if either one of them has brains enough to conceive any definite and proper plan of taking care of the publicâ€"they seem only to be able to sit in their offices and shoot thg bull and let the public be damned. Following closely the lead of the Minister, the engineers, contractors and foremen employed on the stretchâ€" es of new road have, up to the preâ€" esnt time, shown as great a disreâ€" gard for the rights of the travelling public as the Ministers, themselves, have hsown; and never on but one occasion have I known either the Deâ€" partment or the ontractors to show the slightest regard for the public Al1 .the money spent West of GRIMSBY â€" has been practically thrown into the ditchâ€"the work that has already been done by the conâ€" tractor, amoumts to a mere nothing and the travelling public has been forced during the past year to travel the most cu%sed piece of rojd that was ever in existence on the face of this earth. CA Although the road West of the Town of GRIMSBY has been pracâ€" tically tied up with contractor‘s supâ€" plies and machinery for the past year, loss than a mile of tarvia road has been built and some of this were better if it had never been built. After that, when the road was closed again a man was actually sent, by the contractor I suppose, up onto the Ridge Road in North GRIMSBY, to repair a few mudholes that had become impassable and where automobiles and trucks were stuck in the mud. Roads have been closed without the slightest notice to the public, and automobiles, teams and heavily laden trucks have been forced to detour through farms and over country roads during wet weather, when thousands of dollars have been lost ir wear and tear and â€" destruction of property, through the ignorance, carelessness and neglect of the Ministers of the Crown and their subordinates. The money so far spent on the highway between Hamilton and St. Catharines, with the exception of a few miles of tarvia betwern Vineland and GRIMSBY, has been practically thrown away. rig If the Minister of Public Works or the Deputy Minister of Public Works, was qualified to hold his job, conâ€" tractors, engineers and foremen would have definite instructions to clogse no highway until they had made adequate provision for proper deâ€" tours for the travelling public, and in addition to this to provide a man with proper appliances to do nothing else but keep the detours~ ‘in good shape during the time the regular highway was closed. _ One thing about the wo hts THE PEOPLE‘S PAPER ESTABLISHED 1885 JAS.

The comâ€" mon vetch seeded at the rate of 1% bushels per acre is the best cover crop. This plant can extract nitroâ€" gen from the air and increase the store of nitrogen as a result. This crop makes vigorous growth on most soils but will do better if the soil is limed. It is a crop fairly easily turned under and it is satisfactory at picking time, as it flattens down after making conisderable growth. This cover cro pmay be plowed under in the fall or not until the following spring, but the usual practice is to fall plow and work with the disc harrow in the spring, which is conâ€" sgsidered the best method. which cease. and by using a mulch to conserve moisture, ‘but on the whole the pracâ€" tice most suitable for general orâ€" chard areas is early cultivation folâ€" lowed ‘by frequent cultivation at inâ€" tervals of a week or ten days to the middle of June or July ist after The first cultivation may be shalâ€" low plowing, four to five inches deep, after which surfage cultivation with the disc and a smoothing harâ€" row to maintain a surface mulch of fine earth is all that is required. Deep cultivation is not desirable, as the feeding roots naturally grow in the surface soil and deep cultivation may injure them. Shallow cultivaâ€" tion prevents the formation of a surâ€" face crust; thus checking excessive evaporation of moisture and retainâ€" ing it for continuous growth of fruit, and insuring a proper moisture supâ€" ply for the tree later in the season. as soon as the ground is dry enough after rain it is wise to start the harâ€" row, producing thereby a dust mulch. The area close to the base of the tree looks better if kept well cultiâ€" vated, but the cultivation of this area is not necessary and very often much injury is done to the main roots from plowing too deeply close around the tree. It usually is better to leave this space untouched and keep the grass cut to give a neat appearâ€" ance.

The United States railroads are preparing to ask the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, when it takes up its inquiry into the railroad suituation next month, to sift these statements to the bottom. "I have personally asked many large manufacturers and shippers of goods what effect it would have upon their shipments at the present time if freight charges were cancelled alâ€" together, and if the railroads would move the tonnage offered free of charge. Invariably the answer has been that it would make practically no difference at all in the volume of business because people were not buying at the present time." § The inventor of a new auger bit has made it thick at the edges and thin at the center and claims it will force the chips toward the center and thus avoid clogging. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio says: _ To prevent the absorption of damp, ness from the ground by stone bnild-l ings «& new Eurpecn practise is to cut slots in their walls and insert asphaltl coated lead plates. ‘ Chairman Clark has recently made public the results of his inquiry isto the assertions of Florida fruit and vegetable shippers that freight rates are now so high that they cannot profitably ship their products to market. Mr. Clark found that shipâ€" ments of Florida fruits and vegeâ€" tables between November 1, 1920 and February 28, 1921 amounted to 28,420 carioads, while in the correâ€" sponding period of the year before, under the old rates. such shipments had been 26,886 carloads, an increase lfordthe present season of 1,534 carâ€" oads.

The Railway Age asserts that on April 16 the average price paid proâ€" ducers for cabbage in Texas was $7 a ton, the freight rate to Chicago was $26.30, including refricerating charges and Federal tax on freight charges, and total cost laid down in Chicago approximately 1,000 miles from the Xrodncinz fields., was $33.30 a ton. t the same time cabbage was selling at retail in Chicago at the rate of $140 a ton.
