For home use, however, needed improvements in postal service are likely to be considered, For instance, when _ railways, banks, â€" wholesale houses, etc., etc., provide suitable moâ€" dern buildings to eare for the big busiâ€" ness in this North Land, why are the important post offices in this country the way they are? The matter could not be stated more mildly than that! Nor could more severe condemnation be given, when the type of buildings in places like Timmins and Iroquois Falls is considered. Also, why does it take a letter sometimes from three to five days to travel from Poreupine to Timmins, a distance of less than nine miles? There is also a summary of approxiâ€" mate figures from one year‘s transacâ€" tions of the Post Office Dept. Amont these figures are: â€" Post offices in operation, 12,400 ; mail routes, 12,700 ; miles of railroad used, 37,000; Briâ€" tish Orders issued on Canada, 51,000 ; Canadian Orders issued on Great Briâ€" tain, 540,000; U.S. Orders issued on Canada, 760,000; Canadian Orders isâ€" sued on U.S., 1}120,000; money. orâ€" ders issued, 13,400,000; postal notes issued ©6,219,000;â€" letters and postâ€" cards earried, 575,000,000 ; letters reâ€" gistered, 10,500,000; newspapers carâ€" ried, 350,000,000 ; parcels earried, 40, 000,000; cireulars ete. earried, 400,â€" 000,000. aged and infirm through the Annuity Branch of the Department. _ ‘‘The Post Office opens up new territory in advance of the railroads,"‘‘ says the booklet. _ ‘* As soon as a trail is blazed and settlers break land for a new home in the wilderness, the Post Office links up the new community with the other parts of the Dominâ€" ion,‘‘ The booklet reviews the modern feaâ€" tures in post office service such as rural mail delivery, registration, inâ€" surance, postal notes, motor cycle and motor truck delivery and collection of mail, the zone plan in cities, parcel post, and the many mechanical deâ€" vices for handling mail expeditiously.

Ballantyne, Superinâ€" tendent Domminon Experimental Staâ€" tion, Kapuskasing, sends the followâ€" ing helpful note:â€" The running of water furrows in the autumn on land which is to be seeded the following spring is strongâ€" ly recommended for Northern Ontario and Quebec. The establishing of proâ€" per water furrows is a simple matter which should be attended to in all fields as soon as they are ploughed. Surface water which cannot drain aâ€" way soaks the ground so that seeding is delayed and frequently drowned out in wet seasons. Where the dead furrows come to the head land, where there is a natural fall, a shovel should be used to cut out the head land, so that the water can run off as it falls. If this is done at the proper time the land is kept in good condition and seeding will not be delayed, as is the ‘ase where the water has to soak way or evaporate. In a climate such as we have in Northern Ontario and Quebec, where the growing season is short and rapid, the importance of early seeding cannot be too strongly emphasized. Establish water furrows this fall and see if you cannot get on the land two weeks earlier. Specially Desirable in North, Says Superintendent Ballantyne.
