FARMERS MAY WANT GARBAGE

Editor Argus: - I was much interested in the report of the garbage committee as I read it in your edition of Tuesday evening. Some disposal of the garbage is necessary. The country gives everything to the city. Why may not the city give back some things to the country? The richest soil in the world is that of China, and it is so because the people have learned the simple lesson of manuring the ground. We must cremate or run everything into the closet, and so it is lost forever. Why could not arrangements be made with the farmers and the electric line people to handle the garbage of the city in the night time. The road might keep a car for this particular purpose and the farmer would perhaps be glad to pay for the garbage.

By the way. in disposing of the city's garbage, let us not forget the stone crusher, the cat-hole and a few more institutions.  READER.
