Reports from the wheat fields of North

discouraging character. 1t has been

In Manitoba only about 5000, 900
bushels of wheat of crop of 10000, 600
bushels has been thrashed, and the bal
ance, standing in stacks and shocks, is
threatened with destruction. Farmers
almost despair of saving the balance of
their crops.

should come now the whole outstanding
crop would be rendered unfit even for

GOOD ROADS.

"The chief topic of discussion about
town at present seems to be the county
roads. You hear it on every side, "Are the
roads any better2" "Are they any worse2"
How do the roads suit your" until one
wishes people would stop talking about the
condition of the roads and talk or think
about some plan to make them better. It
is claimed that one road in particular ont
from town is the worst in the county, but
thatAs distinction we had rather not
haye."-Exchange.
The above item from Greenwood
correspondent to an exchange is a fair
illustration Of the condition of the
public highways in many places. The
people pay taxes sufficient to have good
roads but so long as the money is to
be expended for the ''good of the partyo
rather than for the improvement of the
roads just such complaints as the above
will exist. It is not business to pay man
who does but partial days work for
q full day because he votes as does the
road commissioner, the supervisor, or
some other time-serYing politician.
What is the way out of this political
ruth The farmers who are the most
interested in good roads hold the key
TO the solution-they could say let busi-
ness methods be applied to road work,
we demand it, and we will enforce ii.
Perhaps it is not all due to politics
the bad roads. The lack Of practic al
and scientific knowledge Of road build
ing and road mending may be in it.
This being true men as overseers hav-
ing the most experience in good road
work should be selected. If ID were
certain practical man and not poll
tician would be appointed it might
prove the most economic to have a
State Road Supervisor with power to
direct and to submit a general report.
The amount Of money wasted on roads
warrants such course. But the
farmers do not care-not to all appear
ances. Some Of them may say upon
reading this article that the TRAN
SCRIPT suggestion is . good one but
none of them will endorse it with his
pen. The politician smiles at the wishes
Of such men and goes his way.
The TRANSCRIPT last week gave some
excellent clippings upon road improve
ment, and other suggestions may be
found upon the fourth page Of this is
sue. They will not apply to every Sec
tion but there are ideas worthy practi-
cal consideration.

But judging from the past we should

it leaves nothing more to be said. A
