A gratifying` feature is that Canada's e±ports of cheese to the mother land 'increased each year. The same is true of ourexportsin January this year comparecl with the corresponding months in 1922 and 1923. Another satisfying.fcature:Is that the quotations for the best Can - action cheese usually runs from four to eight shillings per long hundred- weight higher tindrredweight:higher than for, New Zealand. In the first two weeks of February this year the sleetation for Canadian cheese per 112 lb. was 93 to 102 shil- lings and fpr New Zealand, 92 to ,96 shillings: At frequent intervals tlarouaghottt the -season the Bank of Montreal issues progress on reports thegof P the crop- s in Canada. .• These re- ports, P orts, tele rapto headuarters • from the'Manng ers of the Bank's 600 Branches, cover every Prov- ince and form aera r able index of crop coriditions.

Repair costs are often more than $1:000 a mile. Water lurks inthe foundations of all roads at this season of the year and the surfaces of all gravel and macadam roads are porous and soft. The Department requests the voluntary co-oper- ation of truck owners and drivers, but this docs not affct in any way the enforcement of The Ontario Highways Act. Infractions will be penalized even more rigorously than before. Maintenance and repair of roads fall largely on the ' users of the roads. In justice they should -fall most heavily on the traffic which does most damage to the roads.
