Sugar beets are given credit for making their best growth and de- velopment in soils with a pH of 7.0 (neutral point) of above, notwithstand- ing the fact that some very fertile acid soils seem to produce fairly satisfactory improved by the use of lime. It is ap- parent that very acid soils of low fer- tility must be freely limed before any satisfactory production of beets can be ANOTH YEAR! “going strong.” The “Personal Service” Butcher We are now on the last lap of our first quarter-century of service as Abbots- ford’s meat provisioner, and we're yet This is the Original Meat Market, "~_ the Reliable family market for almost three generations of Ab- botsford people.

Sugar beets need a rather liberal sup- ply of nitrogen in order to make satis- factory yields. For this reason peats and mucks when properly balanced by the use of mineral fertilizers produce good yields of beets. The best yields and best quality of beets, however, are produced on mineral soils well suppli- ed with all the nutrients. .The liberal use of a complete fertilizer of high grade is very desirable on soils of med- ium fertility.

If my memory is not at fault, when these grounds were purchased several sums of money were contributed on the destinct understanding that it be appli- ed towards the grounds and not be ap- Plied towards the building fund. Now the position of affairs today is that the grounds and the hall are-in the hands of stockholders who have had to mort- gage the property as a whole. The hall is not a paying proposition, in fact it might be termed a white ele- phant. In Che event of the interest on the mortgage not being paid, what is to prevent the mortgage forclosing on the hall and grounds; thus depriy- ing the district of a valuable asset to sport and recreation for our young people.
