Editor News:

When is the farmer going to wake
up?

I wonder how many farmers have
nad the experience that I had at the
end of last week, Having spring
samb to dispose of, I took one into
4 local butcher and obtained 14 cents
per lb. Wishing to obtain more ord-
ers, I went to two other butchers in
«he same locality, and from one was
quoted a price of 11 cents per lb. and
«ne other 8c Ib,

The Westminster market price for
the same period was 15 cents per 1b.
and in the Valley has always been
recognized as the prevailing pric

SE ee ae a From one of the butchers, retail
D quotation w: :. In conversation

with many farmers, I find that the

sarererey | {Dove experience does not seem to be

an isolated one. Is it any wonder that
the average farmer cannot meet his
liabilities?

My suggestion would be that the
farmers get together and put in their
own stores in every town and Village
and if necessary carry them to the
city in an endeavor to stabilize the
price of meats of every kind. 1 would
like to hear other views on this ques-
tion,

in my opinion, the sooner action
is taken, the sooner the consumer and
the farmer will get a square deal.

Salvage Your Beet Tops

Ratepayers Demand Resumption
Of Matsqui School Bus Service

Ratepayers of Ward One, Matsqul,
met In Peardonville hall on Monday
evening, and unanimously passed a
resolulion demanding that the School
Board resume the school bus service.
School Trustees Carr, Auburn and
Heywood were present, and detailed
to the meeting particu ‘'s of school
iffairs, giving need of economy as a
on for discontinuance of the trans-
portation sé@rvice,

added but %4-mill to the tax

ipality in the Valley to discontinue

During the past month, three bus-

inticipating that the department of
ducation would make a grant to cov-
r the losses to truck operators. The
3oard has been notified, however,
hat the government will only grant

soard or pupils, and as the distance
overed daily is 12 to 15 miles for

of the pupils walk three miles each

1 saw when interviewing several of
the farmers across the line, in Wash-

Near your barn-door prepare a
fairly even space of ground with a
slight elevation along the centre
where you ure to build your pile of
beet tops, and I would recommend a
layer of gravel a few inches deep
laid under and all around the ensil-
age to the barn door. so as to avoid
mud or dirt mixing with the ensilage
in feeding. Make sure there is no
danger of seepage from any side,
then figure out the quantity of en-
silage you intend to put up, and ord-
er your lumber accordingly.

ay your 2x4 flat on the ground
studding with two-by-four, set 2 feet
apart. Then cut the height you want
for the box—6 or 8 feet long or
whatever you consider convenient to
pitch in and out the leaves, The sid-
ing should be 1x6 shiplap, clean and
fairly seasoned, nailed as close as you
conveniently can,

Put the beet tops in the box in lay-
ers of from 6 to 8 inches, then straw
or hay in alternative layers of 3 or
4 inches, and continue in this manner
until the box is full, Then cover with
« layer of old sacks, vermin damaged
will do. Then a layer of gravel about
