manure spreader when the farmers reckoned their crops tntermsof bushels to the acre and their earnings hn what the land yielded back at harvest time still later alongcame the soil analysis and the commercial fertilizers and bigger crops as the soils were studied and deficiencies were applied today in this section the spring farm topic more often discussed is in the terms of not how many bushels to the acre but rather how many building lots to the acre this crop of subdivisions yields much greater returns tha the rais of grain of which there is now a surplus in canada with the change of crops come new methods a switch in tne spring chore of spreading fertilizer is necessary matter of fact a new kind qfjertil- izer to grow bigger and better subdivisions is necessary its not known as fertilizer or manure any longer and more liable to be called promo tion but no matter what the land is called upon to yield the spring time task of making the land yield more by a liberal spreading of spring time promotion seems to yield more lots jut as a plentiful spreading of barnyard manure used to increase the grain yield per acre springtime and harvest the land has always yielded well n

road iheie is no town service which serves so iaiiy citizens than its roads in manycases side walks could be delayed if there is a good hard surface on tho road true we need ample school funding municipal equipment fire equipment iiiiviiipal buildings and all the town services but what will serve more of our people and leave a tettei impression on the casual caller than a town with good roadways costs cannot be absorbed in one year to make good start but spread over a debenture of 15 years acton not only now and during the life of the debentures can be a cleaner and more attrac tive place in which to reside and it will be snore attractive to new industry and new citizens vith an extensive program of permanent road ways back it up public service often comes in for more criti cism quite often than public help which might well be accorded the halton humane society which recently took over the control of dogs in acton milton and georgetown is apparently making some progress on the problem which has laffled the authorities for some time we had turned over to us recently a letter re vived by the society from an unsigned individ ual editors often get such letters for publication which have to be discarded because the writer hasnt the courage to sign his name to the com plaint we believe if the unsigned writer of the letter would be a little more explicit about the com plaint and furnish the humane society with sign ed complaints they would receive prompt atten tion a little more helpfulness and a little less indiscriminate criticism woultl help the new arrangement to give the service all desire hu mane society officers are in the same position as an editor on unsigned complaints definitely the nuisance of garbage pail snoop ing is improving the new

fiftyseven years ago the burlington gazette was founded by elgin a harris he has been associated with it through all those years for 37 years his son george has been his right hand man a gratifying note is that a grandson rich ard harris will be associated in the hew company which is now in charge of the burlington gazette elgin harris is the senior editor of halton county we have known him for well over 40 of those years and wondered artd admired the en ergy and aggressiveness which he has put into not only his pper but his town and country and the canada wide association of weekly news-
