The meeting\nVit one of the most interesting\nevei bold in the municipality.\nCouncillor W. A. Kirkland, who\nib seeking the office of reeve, stated\nthat he believed ail road work in the\nmunicipality should be let by ten-\n'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'.. . by public auction. This in\nIns opinion was the cheapest and\nbest n-ay to get good roads. He further advocated that all of the road\nv.oi it -sliculd be done by resident\nratepayers under the direct super-\n,-..,:. ol the road foreman.\nil is very anxious to see Delta.\nmunicipality leading the way over\nits neighbors, and would take steps\nImmediately to see that this was accomplished.\nHe suited that he had been resident of Delta for 30 years and\nknew just What the municipality!\nneeded most and as he had been In\nthe council for four years he knew\nall of the needs of that body.\nCouncillor A. D. Patterson, also\nseeking the office of the reeve, said\nthat lie believed the business affairs\nof the municipality could be put on\na better working basis. He be-\nlleved that all business would be\nclosed up and cleared away by the\ntirst of the year. He thought that\niiiore work could be accomplished\nfor the amount of money spent.\nIf possible he would see that a\nreduction would be made in the\ntaxes. He would give every employee in the municipality a fair\ntrial and a fair chance, and not discharge them until they were found\nn -I capable.\nThe different candidates for the I\ncouncil seats each spoke very briefly giving an outline of their platforms.\nTo be turned into one of the most\nmagnificent private cemeteries in\nAmerica, a tract of wooded land,\n450 acres in extent, has been secured at English Bluff by a syndicate\nof Vancouver capitalists. This information has been furnished The\nDelta Times on creditable authority.\nAn eminent landscape artist will be\nemployed to determine the manner\nin which the cemetery will be laid\ncut, but it has already been decided\nthat the trees shall not be ruthlessly!\nslashed, rather that they shall bei\nmade to lend themselves to the\nbeauty of the place.\nLots will be double the ordinary\nsize; curved roadways will be put\nin, conforming to a universal plan.\nOwing to the close proximity of\ngravel and other materials the cost\nof building the roads will be comparatively small. Cement vaults will\nbe used, and everything in connection with the cemetery will be modern and up-to-date.\nThe syndicate selected the site at\nEnglish Bluff, it is understood, after\ninvestigating the entire Lower Mainy\nlaud district. They were influenced\nto a degree by fact that the Ladner-\nWoodward's ferry is now in opera-1\ntion, and by the probability of the\nultimate extension of the .B C. E.

E.even dollars a ton is the\nruling quotation. It is stated that\nWashington farmers have large\nstocks on hand which may be shipped into this province, causing a\nsag. Hay has been leaving Delta\nsteadily since the end of the harvest,\nand tbe amount in the barns at present is estimated as being only average, considering the stage of the\nseason.\nThe price obtained for hay this\nyear is the lowest for some time. In\nJanuary. 1909, the 1908 crop was\nselling for $10, but there was a tig\njump the following August when\nthe new hay came in. In 1906 bay\nwas $6.50 a ton, oats at the same\ntime se ling for $30. In previous\nyears an average price for hay waa\n$7. Taking this off-hand, one might\nsay that the farmer should feel satisfied with $11 a ton, and he would\nbe, perhaps, were it not that both\ntaxes and wages have increased\nconsiderably in the past ten years.\nAs it is the trend is decidedly\naw.y from hay and grain farming,\nand toward dairying, which never\nwas more attractive than at the\npresent time, milk shippers in Delta\nat present receiving 23 cents a gallon.\nThe out market, which ls governed in British Columbia chiefly by*\nconditions in Alberta, is steady, with\n$23 a ton being paid. The quality\nof oats produced in Delta is exceptionally high, and practically the\nentire crop commands the top-notch\nfigure,\nPotatoes have been somewhat,\nfirmer during the past few days,\nnotwithstanding the prediction that\nthey are due for a slump.

Of necessity,\nhowever, such figures can only be\napproximate.\nMILD IN YUKON.\nWith the increasing of traffic\nover the Ladncr-Woodward Landing ferry the Board of Trade of\nLadner at its regular meeting held\nlast Monday evening in the municipal hall, appointed a delegation to\ngo before the provincial government to get a grant of money to\nmake some much needed improvements on the terry service.\n.Mr. K. J. MacKenzie, M.P.P., who'\naddressed the meeting on the service of tlle ferry, said that the traffic of the ferry demanded a much\nbetter service and that the board\nwas justified in going before the\ngovernment after the grant.\nThe delegates that were appointed are Reeve Benson, D.

W.

Notwitu-\nstauding this, there are some individuals, and even sections of the\nWestern provinces that were uot so\nfortunate at harvest time and now\nhave seed of doubtful vitality in\ntheir granaries for spring seeding.\n\"Seed of strong vitality makes a\ngood start, he.ps to keep down the\nweeds, and finally gives a big\nyield, while seed of poor vitality is\na sure loss.\"\n\"Therefore, every farmer who has\nieason to suspect the vitality of his\nseed should send samples to the\nDominion government seed laboratory, ca.gary, ror a germination\ntest. In order that the report of this\ntest niuy be of the greatest value\nto the sender, preparatory to this\nsending samples be should first\nclean his seed as for seeding. Too\nctten seed that is budly contaminated with weed seed ls sown. Every\nyear the portion of Western wheat\nend oats which contains wild oats\nIb increasing. Such grain must take\na lower grade because no satisfactory method of separating it has\nteen devised.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsamples of tiax containing ftr-\nteen per cent, of weed seed are only\ntoo common; this amounts to approximately 200 bushels of waste\nper car. When the cost of threshing, handling and freight on this\nuseless material Is added to the loss\noccasioned by the injury to the\ngrowlrg crop, the net profit per\nacre is very materially lessened.\n\"Flax Is the most badly contaminated seed which the farmer sows,\nand since It Is usually sown on new\nBreaking, his land is practically\nruined a*t the start.
