dy oxen today tractors work the pioneers rolling acres and their grandchildren remain in the count v woven into the stuff of other lives one particularly interesting item i would like to add espee- iallv for the boys it is taken from a composition written bv klaine baker about 1938 this information was derived from kiaines grandfather the remar kable seneca baker it reads as follows it was about the year 1788 shortly after the american revolution that william baker my great gieat great grandfa ther and his family started for canada they were united km pire loyalists coming to can ada for security soon after they had started william found thai he had left some important pa pers behind so he went back leaving his family to wait for him at niagara but he never returned the indians probably scalped him the indians at that time were paid five dollars by the british for every rebel scalp they brought they did not care whether the scalps were rebels or loyalists as long as they were paid and so many a lonely tra veller suffered death all the teacher had to sav to this most thrilling and dramatic part of the story was prove this and now boys get after youi grandfathers and

great efforfby the popula tion and kept open in winter by shovelling bees when snowed in too badly farmers often drove right over the fields and fences with their sleighs for the first settlers however there were no roads at all only in dian trails often some of the early bloomington settlers had to carry a bag of wheat on their backs all the way to muddy lit tle york t torontot io have it ground and back again to their homes in the forest some time later they could afford to go on horseback yonge street was built and some corduroy roads in the vicinity later on things still improved when they could afford a buggy but this much improved method of travelling also had its pitfalls spring time often found their buggies stuck in the mud up to the axels and the passengers and horses heaving and pulling in the mire of the road in the summertime ha1 to put up with the dust while travelling because the roads had no dust layer by the way if you wish to experience the roughness of cor

gravel got there which always puz zled the boys bloomington is situated on the southern slopes of the fa mous oak ridges moraine which is the most distinctive physiographic unit north of to ronto it is a typical interlobate moraine that is one built be tween two opposing lobes of a glacier still simpler the two arms of our glacier coming from the east tst lawrence valley and pushing west squeezed up this ridge between them it is a bulky moraine variable in width which stret ches for 100 miles from the ni agara escarpment to the trent river it covers 500 sq miles in area and rises up to moo ft a- bove sea level near mono mills it narrows in places and there it is crossed by highway 27 7 2s and 11 the crest of the mor aine is mostly covered with sandhills and coarse outwash fine sand and even silt appears in some of the depressions and limestones can be found in the sandy and gravelly material on sandhill which some of the hoys brought to school the limestones were brought by the glacier from trenton and black river and thus today each handful of gravel reminds us of the marvels of cods creation the early pioneers soon dis covered the gravel tinder their topsoil but the need for this material arose when roads had to be built and kept in repair work on the roads was done by teams of farmers who shovel led the ditches hy hand and lev elled the road and gravel which was brought by others with their teams of horses from the pit this was called statute labour and each settler had to work a given number of days on the roads according to his assessment it is believed that joseph walker and seneca ba ker started the pits on the side- road west of bloomington in a- bout 1890 or before one load of gravel cost 10c at that time the sand from these pits was of course also used to build all the fine houses in bloomington which stand as a monument to its more glorious past today most of the heavy traf fic on the sideroad is caused by trucks taking their load from gravel hill on the tenth to be washed at another plant on the sixth the gravel pits are an im portant industry of the district giving work and an income to many residents in fact it is the dream of many a little boy to become a gravel truck driver when his eyes follow the dusty trucks disappearing in the dis tance to be continued on the farm front farmers and agricultural re presentatives alike are very keen these days on getting the greatest possible yields from good land high yielding crops like corn high rates of fertili zer expensive chemicals and better machinery are all used to get the last bushel or pound of feed per acre this is all good of course but i wonder sometimes if we ne glect an important part of most farms almost every farm has some roughland hillsides wet spots or creek flats that are more or less written off as be ing hopeless jf all these poor bits of land in york county were added together lite total acreage would make tis think about the things that could be done to make them yield some thing worthwhile the common reaction to this problem land is that it isnt worth any expense put on it and yet good land gels money thrown at it fast and furiously an acre of grain for example gets plowed cultivated many times sprayed for weeds com bined and baled fertilizer often costs up to 10 per acre at average yields of oats this acre will gross about 35 to 40 an acre of roughland certain ly wont gross this much but if expenses are low low yields might be profitable most of this land will grow grass left alone it rioet produce much often a shot of fertilizer will really pay well 1 suggest that 10 spent on fertilizer for old sod thai has been neglected may well pay better than fertilizer going on spring grain if the sod is in fair shape nl trogen alone will boost produc tion urea or ammonium nitrate hroadcast right now at 150 io 200 lbs per acre is well worth a try if the sod is poor some superphosphate and muriate of potash should be put on as wen weeds should be dealt with on roughland too the cost is so low that even a very slight boost in grass growth will pay for it easily better fertility and weed control are two fairly easy steps in making so called wasie land useful boih are well worth trying the increase in production on some ot our poor land may be far more practical than attempting to get very high but expensive yields on good land b
