ALI who are interested in progressive
agriculture have their eyes on Henri
Laundry, who recently returned from
Canada and purchased a farm containing
much low swamp land which few year.
ago was considered worthless. Men have
been clearing the land all summer, and
this week carload of tiling arrived
which he intends to put in the land in
order to drain it. He has already planted
several acres of celery and has been haul
ing water to start them growing He
also intends to set out several acres OF
lettuce. This is what is known as extern
sive farming. Mr.. Laundry thinks highly
of the prospective reciprocity pact be-
tween this country and his home coun.
try, and is preparing to take advantage
of the great opportunities it will open to
the American farmers. We are earnestly
watching his progress and ultimate sue
cess. He has proved himself a long
headed shrewd man by making big pro-
fits out of land that we natives thought
were worthless, and he is now investing
his earnings in the same kind of lands.
1t is natural for some persons to be
chronic aud perpetual kickers, and they
like the poor will always abide with US.
Those who are taking great pains to find
fault with our esteemed Levy Courtman
Harry Reed, who is now placing gravel |
on the New Market road, about his pay
ing $500 and $500 per day of eight
hours for man and two horses, should
ook into conditions little first. It seems
ike big wages when teamsters haul logs
or s.. 50 per day, but the men who are
making big wages are doing twice as
much work as the others, and they earn
heir money. They haul at 50 much
er ton. It is asserted that in their
urry to make loads, the haulers are get
ng sand instead of gravel; but we trust !
} the honor and capability of Mr.. Reed !,
correct this bad management on the
art Of his overseer. Personally we say,
let the good roads come. and the pro-
-ess serge to the front even at a high s
ice. We have been howling for better :
ads, now let them come !.
