As most users of the high- ways know there is a provision in the act which prohibits the carrying during the early spring months of more than one-half the weight usual- ly allowed in commercial vehicles. Section 32, S S. 2, 3, and 4 of the high- ways act states that commercial ve- hicles the carrying capacity of which exceeds one-half ton, if with solid tires. and ali other vehicles, the ca- pacity of which is one ton or more. shall not be Iloaded in excess of half the regsitered capacity. Other wheel- ed vehicles whose carrying capacity exceeds one ton shall not load in ex- cess of 250 pounds on any inch in TRUCKERS MUST CUT DOWN LOADS cess ot mu pounds on any men in tire-width. For violation of the act there are penalties up to $50 for the first of- fence, $100 for the second and impris- onment for the third. “It is for the mutual good of the county and the users of the roads that peope who use the roads for commercial purposes. such as drawing milk and other farm products to mar- ket or transporting manufactured goods from one place to another. should observe this law. It is not a hardship to go a little light for a couple of months in the spring when the roads are suffering from the frost coming out, and it is the only way to keep the roads in condition for use during the long period when there is no snow on the ground. A little co- operation on {he part of the drivers of motor-tracks and other vehicles at this season can do an immense amount to keep the cost of road construction and maintenance down. and, of course. C/s low cost means keeping the taxes down. It is advantageous in many ways and while the county authorities hope that it will not be necessary to prosecute anyone for over-loading during the months of March and April, they will not hesitate to do so if they find that those using the roads are not living' within 'he terms of the act. Those in the past who have been the most persistent breakers of the law, are those who should try to pro- "tect the roads. They re the people who' use them most. Officials are looking for better judgment on the part of the motorists and truckers this year in the mater of heavy loads than in the past.

A. W. Peart, of Burlington, Rave a history of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, which was formed in 1859 with Judge Campbell as its first presi- dent. It was 35 years since its last meeting at Hamilton. After that, meetings were held in various parts of the province till 1904 when it settled down in Toronto. Prof. Macown mentined two new varieties of apples produced at the C. E. F., Ottawa-Mello:: and/Lobo-u- he described them as of excellent ap- pearance and quality. . E W. Palmer, of tthe Experimental Station, Vineland, talking on new fruits, mentioned Portia as 2- new strawberry produced there of un- equallefquality, for jams and canning purposes, and in raspberries a seed- ling named Viking, a cross between Cuthbert and Marlboro was a Rood promise. A Ross. of Vineland Station, spoke on three serious pests: 1. Peur Psylla, a honey-dew fungus, 2. Green and Rosy Apple Aphids. 3. Grape Hopper. Mr. Ross advised delaying the first lime-sulphur syray till buds were ready to bust for aphids, and then adding a nicotine-sulphate. The grape hopper can be held in check by an application of nicotine-sulphate at any time within one or two' weeks after Concord grapes set. ' C S. McGillivray, Ottawa. reported dehydration work to be well advanced in Canada at present. In the case of strawberries he did not think it would prove successful. and as to plums and cherries a market would have to be created, if these crops were to be treated. Peaches. pears and apples are well suited to this process which is cheaper than evaporation.
