The following communication was received from a cottage owner at Williams Point. To the honorable road foreman of . Blackstock Ont. . My Dear Sir: In due respect to your high position, your qualifications and your exceed- ingly important responsibilities, - J am your humble servant begging you to give me your 'kind permission to re- sive from me a small complaint con: rning the outrageous conditions of Nthe road passing my cottage at Wil- liams Point, Ontario. I am the owner of the first coftage in this resort and due to the immense dust whirled up by constantly passing cars I am at any time of the day sur- rounded by clouds of sticky dust creeping through the windows and sneaking in the last corner into bed 'and refrigerator, tomato-salad and shaving cream, transforming the co- lor of my car into a dirty gray-white within, well, in the room of time it takes you to snap your finger, and filling the lungs of my 'poor' boys ex- * hausted from the stink of the city with even worse sand pagticles instead of that refreshing and) cool breeze from the Lake. I was today at Eaton's. Land Simp- son's inquiring about the price of gas- masks, but taking into. account the high amount involved I dropped the re . plan to equip ourselves with them un- handy things to protect ourselves from that dusty pestilence, and am rather asking you to bring the road into a condition as it ought to be in a country with sucha high standard of living and as coincidentally is done } in other places of this beautiful count- ry of holiday resorts as for example Lin near Jackson's Point at Lake Sim- coe. Just drop a few gallons of oil along the road when you happen' to pass through Williams Point and we will gladly think of you as our saviour from an increasingly disgusting an- noyance, and even the grandchildren of my Grandchildren shall still be praising the thoughtfulness of your action at a time-when I am sure a wide four-lane highway will pass by. In 'anticipation' of your honorable and life saving action. "I am your re- spectful and humble servant, A cottage owner at Williams Point. The letter was read to the Council and the following reply was sent to this Cottage owner. : Mr. Cottage Owner, Williams - Point. Dear Friend: : I have to-day received from you a very informative letter setting forth the many menaces to Health and Hap- piness of common Road dust. I had never before realized how'it might spoil a good nights sleep in Bed, To- mato Salad, shaving 'cream and many other things, and on stopping to think it might also spoil your wife's Temper and that would be- disastrous, so I think you should take immediate ac- tion to curb the menace, as dozens of other cottagers have done in the past and are still doing. We keep Calcium Chloride. (a special product to keep down dust) at the Township Garage here in Blackstock all the time and we give this to Cottagers and all other residents at the small tok&n price of $1.00 per cwt. bag. It costs us $42. | per ton. We show no partiality. Preachers, Doctors, Churches and even the clerk of the Township, and the Mayor of Blackstock have to pay their Token. So I would advise you to come up and get some and keep your 'wife (the most precious thing on earth) happy and contented, and I know you will go away smiling, If a lady comes-I put it in the car for her. You can get it on Sunday if I am not away taking my wife for a drive. Yours very truly, The Honorable Road Forman of Blackstock The clerk was instructed to prepare a By-Law to include the new Park at Caésarea (to be known as the Bruce Memorial Park) as part of the Rec- reational Centre and be under the supervision of the Present Parks Bd.

Have Successful Trip to Northern Ontario Fifteen members of the Ontario County Soil and Crop Improvement Association visited points of interest includuing agriculture and industry in Northern Ontario from May 31st to June 38rd. The first day was spent. driving north of Cochrane. On Monday morning, June 2nd, the group was met in Cochrane by Mr. Portelance, Agricultural Representa- tive for North Cochrane District, and were shown some of the farming area | in the Cochrane district. 'Mr. Portelance pointed out "that there were some 16 million acres of good farm land north of Kirkland Lake. This land is mostly heavy clay with some sandy loam areas. Cereal grains can be grown successfully. Heavy yields of bay can be- serured. stedenatil corn Gili "The group visited the modern potato storage in Cochrane. Most of the potatoes grown _in the Cochrane district are graded, packaged and sold through '| this co-operative potato storage. The next stop for the group was at Kapuskasing where a visit was made to the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Co. Mill. This is one of the largest paper mills in the world. ~750 tons of newsprint can be processed through its four modern newsprint machines each day. The sulphite mill is capable of producing 400 tons a day of un- bleached sulphite pulp. All this pulp and paper is shipped by railroad and a trainload of over 30 cars a day leaves the -mill for varjous customers in the United States and Canada. This pulp mill at Kapuskasing uses over 350,000 cords of wood valued at $10,000,000 annually. _ After completing the visit to the pulp mill_at Kapuskasing the group visited the Experimental Station and Demonstration. Farm. This is one cof a chain of farms reaching across Can- ada and operated by the Central Ex- perimental Farm at Ottawa. The Kapuskasing farm is a large one with 1200 acres under cultivation. Several acres are devoted to experi- mental plots in an effort to find vari- eties of cereals, grasses, and clovers that are adaptable to Northern Ont- ario. The part of the farm not used for experiment purposes is devoted to-the raising of winter feed and pas- ture for a large herd of Ayrshire and Shorthorn cattle. A large herd of swine i8 also kept. Seeding in Northern Ontario is much later than here, and when the-group visited the farm on June 1st seeding operatjons at the Kapuskasing Farm were just nicely getting under way. None of the spring grain was up. On Tuesday, June 2nd, the group travelled to Timmins and visited the Hollinger Gold Mine. The group was taken through the hoist house. Here is: located the cables and motors for bringing the ore from the mine. The shaft house and cruching plant was visited next. Here the ore is delivered to the crushing machines where it is crushed -at the rate of 450 tons per hour." ferred by conveyor belt to a huge stor- age bin. From the storage bin 'it goes to the ball mill and classifier. From here it goes through numerous pro- iccesses until the gold is finally poured into moulds. At the present time Hollinger Mine is processing 4000 tone of rock a day? Each ton of rock averages % of an ounce of gold. The rock at Hollinger contains some silver as well as gold. For each ounce of gold secured they get about 1/6 of an ounce of silver. After the visit to the Hollinger ".X (continued on page 4) 'very much 'in its infancy and niany The crushed ore is then trans- |. *| Provincial Dairy.

Beef Pasture Field Day, June 18 Hay and Pasture crops in the Pro- vince of Ontario occupy nearly ore: lialf of the cleared land and furnish the most economical source of feed for live stock. Experiments have shown that a ton 'of digestible nutriments can be produced more economically from good pasture than from any other farm crop. Grass must there- fore be regarded as a crop--probably the most important crop on the farm, and of particular importance at the moment when costs of production of our farm prodiicts must be considered.
