EACH TOWARD ROAD OIL “Rather than pay 40 per cent of the cost direct of oiling our road, we will buy the oil ourselves, and we’ll keep the cost back out of our taxes, and you can sue us for it,” blazed Bert Lloyd, president of Mus- selman’s Lake Ratepayers Associa- tion, speaking before Whitchurch Township Council on Saturday when a deputation appeared to protest the arrangement for putting oil on the roads throughout the municipality this summer. In the past the lake areas have been oiled under instruc- tion of the council and the cost borne by the whole municipalty. Increas- ing demand on the part of farmers living near the roadside and in ham- lets, indyuced Rleeve Tcole to lay down one policy for all, and that policy is that everybody must have the same treatment. What the lake people get, the farmers should have, and as it was impossible to give oil to all, the idea was evolved that a 40 per cent contribution should be forthcoming from those directly bene- fitted. The decision to do this had aroused the ire of the cottagers. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Robertson and 'Bruce of Toronto visited with Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Rumble over the week- end. The Busy Bees Mission Band met at the home of Jean Ingram on Sat- urday afternoon.

The late spring with an unusual amount of rainfall delayed planting of early potatoes in many districts, and a number of fields are spotty due to some rotting of seed. Up to the present time growth has been slow, but with warm weather and plenty of soil moisture more rapid development may be expected. It is too early yet to predict when the date of the early potato crop will 'be ready for market. The acreage of late potatoes will be about the same as last year, but planting will be somewhat later than usual as far. mers have been busy trying to get their earlier crops sown. FORMER RESIDENT RECEIVES MESSAGE FROM QUEEN MARY Whitchurch Township Council will establish a fire area around Aurora if there are a sufficient number of farmers favorable to the scheme, it was decided on Saturday at the June council meeting. Council passed a resolution to advertise the prOposed bylaw and each farmer in the area covered would be assessed for any cost involved any time the brigade rendered assistance in the area to be set up. Under this arrangement only those who stand to benefit from the scheme will have to pay. ST. PAUL’S VAUGHAN, TO CELE- BRATE ANNIVERSARY Alfalfa is making very rank growth and cutting has already com- menced but farmers report that the weather has been poor for “hay mak- ing". Timothy and clover are makâ€" ing excellent progress but the yield will be somewhat lighter owing to winter killing of many fields of new seeds. The acreage of spring grains will be slightly reduced on account of the lateness of the spring and as a result there will be an increased acreage of buckwheat, corn, etc. of the district the outlook for all field crops is very promising. Fall wheat is headed out and gives prom- ise of a bumper yield. ThroughOut Ontario the condition of spring grain is rated by expert observers as- be- tween 91 and 92 per cent of the long time average and in York County this rating is even higher than the provincial average as seeding was earlier here than in many; parts of the province. Favored with ideal weather crop conditions throughout York County are very satisfactory and according to reports received from all sections OROP CONDITIONS VERY PROMISING ON YORK COUNTY Fall Wheat Headed Out and Having Started PROPOSE A FIRE AREA IN TOWNSHIP LATE MRS.
