Harvesting is net yet general throughout this Province. At our Experimental Farm Station some plots of the early grain have been secured; and in" the higher lands throughout the country many fields are already dotted with stooks heavily laden with grain. But for the most part, on lowlands and highlands alike, the crops are still maturing, and many fields are

H A GOVERNMENT THAT FAILED

The King government has been less than two years in office and in that short time it has written the word failure across the whole dominion. In no other similar

1 period has such a record been writ- ten.‘ ‘in no other similar period have the predictions of the win- ners of an election been so utterly ‘falsified or the predictions and warnings of their opponents been _ so unfailingly fulfilled. us unparalleled in the history of Canada has taken place; a num- b: of have been is 1113112111.- Jes; industry has‘ been paralyzed and commerce loaded down with crippling taxes which prevent ex- pansion. Even agriculture, the basic business of t-be dominion has been held in check by unequal for- eign competition in our markets.

The question of labor is a ser- ious one. According to Secrc~ tary Boulter, who recently ud- dressed the Rotary Club. the Potato Growers Association is finding it difficult to procure labor to harvest their crop. To find laborers for road work will be more difficult still particularly in view of the fact that within the past few weeks some 1.500 men

left the-province for the western

harvest fields and work in Quebec. An extraordinary

for railway

thing about the Bell government road scheme is the damage they did to roads which had been in good condition before they touched them. One glaring example of this is to be found in New Perth, King's Coun- ty. This was one of the best roads in the province. Today it is a veritable quagmire. The Kelvin Road, Prince County is an example of the wisdom of leaving well enoughalone. This is one

turning. Soon there will be added all the gorgeous tints of autumn.

Our roads, improved at so great a cost of public money, and in many parts of the country, quite

n h

pair. indeed, repair will have to be constant if their excellence is to be nlaintelned. Traffic will make ruts to be filled. In some places the roads have been so rounded that difficulty is found in keeping cars, carts and other car- riages from slithering into tilt- ditch, when passing each other. Already there have been accidents, some of thenl weil-iligll fatal; and unless great care is taken by tllc (irivers other accidents will llap- pen. It has been suggested that tllc “split log drag" should be up- plicd judiciously after every llcuvy rain, as well as in full and spring, and that not only should the ruts be filled for prevented from forni- ing) but that the roadway, wiierc too much rounded, should ile somewhat flattened, so that the danger of "siithering" may be all- ated. We have no doubt that farmers living near the roads could be prevailed on to apply this split-log drag and keep the road- way as smooth and safe as pos- sible pro bono publico, for a rea- sonable consideratlon. This is one of the first pl blems confront- ing our lately appointed Commis- sioner of Public Works and their efilcient Provincial Engineer. Hav- ing been built up at a heavy ex- pense of public money, economy as well as safety will require that the roads shall he well maintain- ed. Good roads are a good asset. The farmer who can take to mar- ket over n good road a 10nd double as heavy as he could over a bad road will not greatly grudge the expense that will he required to keep the roads in repair; and the man of business or pleasure may reasonably be asked to pay a little extra taxation in order that he may ride quickly and safe- ly from point to point throughout the Province.
