has been put forward to subdivide Thimble Park long a favorite spot where shady trees benches and a fountain have pro- relaxation for the citi zens writes correspondent Slim BHggens Mayor said at the lastcouncil meeting that the balance of assessment was too unbalanced and that what Cut- needed was more industry We want more in dustry especially light said We havent had a Industry here since the pickle works were established in Councillor Colin against progress declared We should be satisfied the way we are We dont want no called progress here Leads to naught All you gets is prob lems

view to consolidat ing its position and keep out big city speculators provided that some light industry could be acquired to offset the devel opment of unwanted subdivi sions because the unbalanced

What goods the seaway next meeting of council a dis cussion would be held on a policy for controlling progress We wish that somehow the time or the season would come when we are not late doing something Of course there are many good explanations why one is late Some are legitimate Some are excuses and some are theories made up after one is already late For example somebody asks us if have a certain operation done We answer that uo we havent but we dont think it should bo done yet because and then comes the story- We are late filling the silos this year One reason is that we are just plain ordinary because seeding was late because the manure wont out We ftiUy expect that from here on until fall plow ing we wont catch up with benefits of deep cultivation Another difficulty that been bothering us this spring is that when the grass is ready to put into the silo the field often too soft A good wagon loaded drawn by a trac tor and preceded by a tractor and a harvester represents seven pairs of wheels We can assure you that it makes quite a mess of things We had broken reaches and bogged down wagons last year and this year we just didnt take ffie chance and the result is orch ard grass that is long in the tooth although the clover with it is still all right We heard of the solution of clipping the pasture very early with a harvester and sickle s jg saws m Si assess arc done on time be filled in order silage and not same is true is certainly seeding There be done in have do the soluBmaC0n nice to sow fflBaftKHC Now that for doing the should be done waste of nice young and we have never I we sometimes job We even found of chisel the fia tendency of shifting the work from winter to spring A field that is really opened up left rough the way it should bo is too hard in whiter time on manure spreaders OS when there is snow We are afraid It we harrow after the chisel plow we undo some of the mm late is a work the weather or in the per- It bothers us our waiting for this Ye read in the other day a re- doctors on heart read about the My life Is in the next rascal who bothers me Wo the farmers shouldnt this saying Our hap piness is in the hands of the next job at which we are late getting started Well from here on the prob lem is one for new years By then the silo should be and we Will nut feel the pressure By next spring well who knows RAW MEAT
