He wanted to do something to mlake: the place attractive and' was thinking of locuslt. The other farmer had only one objection, to such a move: "If you want a hedge then put in any- thing under the sun except locust" He was sure that locust or honey locust was the last thning a man should want along the lane or any place else. The •objecting farmer Mid he knew or two or three such hedges, he was certain his friend could go and take theme ail away and plant them at hist place and he Would receive the thanks. of .the people who had thus become rid of them. We believe that advice is sound. If one desired hedge which would keep out a marauder by night then the locust wbuld probably serve the purpose. We have seen some which have been kept well trimmed aind they look neat but they require a great deal of trimiming; they are regarded as snow taps tearing Me hinter mon•tfns. and the thorns on them are mean things.

It is the tallest single receipt received by tine County during the year, rep- resenting fifty per cent. of the money •elbgdble for subsidy on County highways the previous year. The highrwayts bank :overdraft as wiped out by the deposit of this cheque. May ileit was the deadline set by the County of Huron far ,the pay - meat of tax arrears, otherwise the property would be placed on: the tax 'sale list. The treasurer sent out 133 notices to this effect and re- ceived 101 replies with over $5,000 sash. This is considered a good response, about the same as last year when the policy of giving e final warning was inaugurated.
