Weir's orchard on the Bayfield Road as the Huron Experi- mental Fruit Station and Mr. H. H. Farrel made the first experiment on Saturday, spraying apple trees only. The mixture comprised two pounds sulphate copper and fifty gallons of water. Mr. Farrel will make six visits during the season, his second visit to be on or about the Oth of May. Hur- on's Experimental Station should be watched with deep interest by those engaged in apple raising. WATER VS. DUST. -For several years the public pulse has been grow- ing in favor of paying for the watering of the streets out of the general funds of the town. The objection has been advanced by a fete that the business leen receive ALL the benefit and that taxpayers (outside the business portion of the town) should not pay toward this necessary expense. For a week or ten days dust has been flying in all directions and we have been observing how far the argu- ment holds good. Last week, especially Saturday, was a very good time in which to form an opinion. A garden- er with green stuff on his wagon forged through the flying dust to deliver palat- able "early greens" to "people on to back streets" who we are bound to be- lieve would rather have the "goods" minus the dust and gravel and dirt. The doors of all business houses were all but barred to keep out the dust, among thew thebutcher shops. Screen doors on these are all right to keep out, theflies, but gravel and dust - never! But that does not snake any difference to the taxpayer "on the back street" who receives no benefit from street watering ! A little dust and a little gravel he is willing to pay for and consume at the rate of ten cents a pound rather than submit to the "un- just" extra tax of a few cents a year. Therocer g ,v supplies are on the suite level. According to a few economists a.little dust and gravel in a cup of tea, coffee or cocoa, sweetened proportion- ately with sugar, subject to the same objectionable surroundings, is all right 1 The good lady of thetliouse - or one or other or the whole family, as the case may be -comes down town to order the necessaries of hone life. The dust is flying in clouds. The nice new dress or hat- -and there are lots of there -comes in for a dose of dust and the apparel depreciates in value ninny times what the extra taxes wotdd carne to, and the lady ex- claims "what a -torrid thing Ibis is In he blinded by dust. and to have my wearing apparel almost destroyed -- and it cosi, so much !" Then she pro- ceeds to make choice purchases from the dry -goods store, grocery, poulterer, druggist, furnisher, or other business span. Dust 1 Dust! 1 Inst 1 1 1 Cer- tainly. If the business men pay for watering the streets the goods trust cost just as much snore proportionatly as they pay for the service. Themoney must be paid in some way and it must come out of the business. If people are to help the town, the town must in turn endeavor to help itself. If the ladies of Clinton were called upon to elect the Council the matter of street watering would not be such a hone of contention and the work would he performed from the general fund. it is nearly time the objecting members of our repre- sentatives put on long clothes and viewed the welfare of Clinton and the good name of the town on a broader basis. When ('lintnn is compelled from force of circ•..mstances at some future time to adopt a system of water works there will also be objectors, but that will not prevent the work from going on any more than street watering has been checked during the present year. 01'Ex MEitroto.:.,.The Me1On here of the x 0, F, kayo arrange;;l tar. an open nteetiug In the oddfellows hall on Thursday.
