With later vegetables like corn, beans, and melons, this very little behind the schedule, and there is no reason why three sowings about a week apart can- not be made. This continuous planting will spread the harvesting season just that much farther. Instead of depend- ing upon leaf lettuce, ordinary radish, and spinach which are among the first cr0ps sown and harvested it would be better to plant Cos lettuce, a self “Did your friend, Miss Ransom, get her good looks from her father or her mother?” Instead of the spring radish, the sum- mer sort should be planted and Swiss Chard in the place of spinach.

Well, that’s what we mean by leaving a high water mark. The grass on the outside of them is about a foot hig; inside it is respectably short. No, that’s no way for a town hall to look. If there‘s one place in the town that should look groomed it the municipal building. We know that there are men available to do the work. For instance, if they got a decent lawn around the sides and rear of the building, and even if it had to be ploughed and seeded. That wouldn’t cost much; not too much anyway. And then put respec- table flower beds, and we mean. re- spectable ones. Not little sickly-look- ing skin-flint affairs that look like a school child’s. And last, but not least, fix up the entrance. Either put a lawn there or what would do fairly well would be some of that crushed stone they are trying so hard to sell. Perhaps the stone plant would donate it in grati- tude for the delegation to the county council re paving. And then roll it. And above all make some distinction be- tween the road and the property. It couldn‘t possibly look less like a town hall than it does. We hear here, there and everywhere, “It‘s going to be tough if the stone plant doesnt’ open up.” That’s just the trouble here. They do not appreciate anything until they lose it. Better ap- preciate the homes for a while and “cut their strangly hair, clean and dress them up.” If we do not soon show some backbone we might as well “throw in the sponge.” The following from the Elora Express is the type of article we would like to see in the Chronicle now and then: A Beautiful Garden We had the pleasure of inspecting Mr. William Brown’s garden on Mon- day evening. And it was a gorgeous sight. The peonies, and there must- have been many hundreds of them, make a remarkable show of marvel- lous beauty. We are not yet horticul- turally educated to a point where we can pick out the good ones from the rank and file and are content to ad? mire them in the mass. But Mr. Brown is a wizard with flowers. His garden isl a mass of bloom, peonies of course pre- dominating at this time. Iris is past its best although there are still some very fine specimens of this beautiful orchid like flower. But the peonies have to be seenâ€"a pen picture is of no use except to stimulate a desire to see them. Other people in Elma grow peonies, too,andsomeofthemareofthebest, but you have to go to Mr. Brown’s gar- den for mass effects. There is such a‘ If we are to let the place run wild we might as well give it back to the Indians. They at least didn’t clog up the river with rubbish. And we can’t imagine a bunch of Indians sitting along a path in the bush grumbling about everything in general and noth- ing in particular. ner, talking about everything in gen- eral, depositing their tobacco juice all over the main street sidewalk, and they are so dumb and dense they can’t even see their own back yard or front yard either. Not that it’s any of our busi- ness, exactly, but we sure would get a lot of satisfaction out of their taking this dig. But we suppose it will go right over their heads, for they'll be too busy hollering about what the gov- ernment should do. What nerve! If our legislators ever dared to neglect the country like some of these “citizens” neglect their share of it, we’d have one fine land to live in. Let us say here, that if some of those nosy natives “got in there” and cleaned up their own side of the fence they’d find it a bet- ter world to live in. How about it, town fathers? You are going after the big things and neglect- ing what, in your estimations, are the little things. But after all the lesser things count. Do you not think that if a representative came to town to look ‘for a site for an industry and saw the lack of interest and public spirit that is evident in Durham, that he would go on to another place where there was some enthusiasm and enter- prise. There is not enough “get” to this town to entice any manufacturer. A town hall reflects the spirit preval- ent in the town. Isn’t it astonishing the total lack of interest of some people in their own prOperty?
