It is notorious that many of our English and Scottish gardens are over timbered and thinning is a positve advantage alike from the hygienic and horticultural point of view . Dead and de- crepit trees should be ruthlessly felled . a refuge for the pests and are a harbour and parasites of the garden . They In any event the sacrifice , if any there be , en- tailed by the use of the axe is one which the national interest demands . " Italy to keep the war going and to stop the Austrian invader has felled and is still felling her olive groves and classic woods . The woods of France have been devastated to keep their home fires burning . The use for fuel of the timber at one's own door has this also to commend it , it helps to re- lieve transport which , both by road and rail , is very much over - taxed .

THE NEEDS OF NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE . POSSIBILITIES OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT . A subject of much importance to the county generally and North Herefordshire in particular was introduced by a letter from the Board of read Agriculture which was at the quarterly meeting of the War Agricultural Committee re- cently pointing out that there is a large quantity of narrow guage rails in France , a part of which will be available after . the war for giving better facilities to agriculture in Herefordshire , provid ing a good working scheme can be evolved . The transport difficulties in of many , parts North Herefordshire are so great a handicap upon agricultural development that it must be obvious that the question is of vital importance to the Various future welfare of the neighbourhood . routes have already been suggested , but it may be thought by some in this part of the county that they do not regard sufficiently the needs of the northern section , and we hope this will be borne in mind . as any We are pleased to hear that there is a move- ment on foot to secure united action among the various local authorities in order that the position of Leominster as an important market town and the centre for a large and purely agricultural district shall be recognised under any scheme that may be formulated . The first move , it seems to us , lies with Leominster Rural District Council . That body is composed entirely of farmers who represent a farming community , and scheme if carried out would only be assisted by the Government in so far as it is to the direct benefit of agriculture , we hope they will have their own interests and the welfare of the district sufficiently at heart to take advantage of what amounts to a splendid offer on the part of the Government to provide the means for the develop- ment of the agricultural possibilities of the dist- rict .. If Leominster Rural District Council take the line we have indicated we feel sure that Leo- minster Town Council , representing the Borough , which depends for its welfare upon the prosperity of the neighbourhood , will not fail to them in any representations they make . bodies which are equally interested are the Weob- ley Rural District Council and the Wigmore Rural District Council . Probably the most effective method would be the appointment of a joint Com mittee from the bodies we have named with the object of considering with care the needs of the district , the routes on which transport is speci- ally deficient and the best means of developing the whole district by means of improved trans- port support Other I We may point out that North Herefordshire has . on the Committee in Alderman Russell a repre- sentative in whose hands the interests of the district may be safely left , but it would strengthen his hands if there was in the northern half of the country a strong body of informed opinion in favour of practicable scheme . a MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE . above As a result of the letter mentioned Committee of Investigation was appointed to re- port on the whole subject . The Committee is com - 1 prised of the following practical men of business and agricultural experience : Alderman T. Preece , Alderman F. Ballard ( Colwall ) , Alderman H. F. Russell ( Leominster ) , Mr. J. A. Thompson ( Wool- " hope ) , and Mr. E. W. Howell ( St. Weonards ) . The first meeting of the Committee was held at the Shirehall , Hereford , on Saturday . of last week . There were present in addition to the members of the Committee : Mr. Haygarth Brown ( inspector of the Commercial Control Branch of the Board of Agriculture ) , Mr. Wilson ( of the Food Production Department ) , Mr. J. C. Mackay , of Hatterall , Hereford ( an authority son light rail- ways ) , Mr. G. H. Jack ( County Surveyor ) , Mr. H .. K. Foster and Mr. G. H. Phillips ( officers of the War Agricultural Executive Committee ) and Mr. J. Porter ( Secretary ) . The meeting opened with the reading of the letter from the Board of Agriculture on the sub- ject . In this the Board asked : Are there in Here fordshire any localities in which after the end of the war additional transport facilities ( apart from increases to existing services ) will so far as can be foreseen be permanently required for the car- riage of substantial quantities of goods or mum- bers of passengers to and from markets or rail- way stations If so , should the facilities take the form of ( 1 ) an extension of the existing railway system , ( 2 ) a light railway or tramway , ( 3 ) , a road motor service , and ( 4 ) the provision or im provement of water transport a Mr. Haygarth informed the Committee as to the Government's intentions , out pointing that case for the grant of rails and rolling stock must show the permanent agricultural value of the scheme . It was the intention of the Government to construct some railways for rural transport as an experiment . He could not state where the experiments would be carried out until the ' appli- cations had been considered . He expected the Government would defray the whole cost of ex- perimental lines , but was unable to say what support the county would receive for other lines . Mr. Thompson , asked what was meant by agri- cultural produce . For instance , with suitable transport many limestone quarries in the county could be utilised with great benefit to the food production of the county . Alderman Ballard said that if the Herefordshire scheme would have to compete with other county schemes he would point out that there was no more purely agricultural county in England than Herç- fordshire . The county was badly served in . regard to transport and would be greatly developed by light railways . Mr. Brown replied that all these points would be fully taken into account . CORRESPONDENCE ..

THE NEW SCALE OF SALARIES FOR TEACHERS . he 3 To the Editor of the Kington Times . Sir , " Blessed is he that expecteth nothing , for shall not be disappointed . " Herefordshire teachers have been let down " with a bump and no mistake in the matter of salaries While most people were receiving substantial increments to . salaries to meet the enhanced cost of living , the wages of teachers practically remained stationery , and so these men and women waited long and patiently to see it their turn would come in the distribution of good things . This is what the scale means to some . After 14 years ' service my salary is £ 125 , my in- crement will be £ 5 , and it will take me another 17 years to reach my maximum of 240. By that , time I shall have only 3 years to serve before re- tiring . A head master of my acquaintance will have to serve 19 years more before he reaches mis maximum . Assuming he retires at 60 , the Coun- cil will never have to pay him the maximi salary , though they have had the maximum work out , or him . There is a certificated mistress 1 know , of 14 years ' experience , who receives 195 . Yet two recent appointinents have been made in Leominster of teachers with no teaching experi- ence , the one at 100 and the other at 110. , Is not this putting a premium on inexperienced in- efficiency ? There is a head mistress not far from here upon who extra work has been put in the shape of training probationers during sendof time . She gets no increment for 5 years . Does not the past service of these teachers deserve recognition ? It is the custom upon altering a scale to make a provision ( " carry over " ) whereby past service is recognised by substantial increment . The Local Education Authority undoubtedly ( see notes , to salary scale ) intends to savé money by driving out experienced teachers and making new appoint- ments at the lower commencing salaries . What a shameful trick ! If an employee is not worth his maximum after 10 years ' service he is not fit to hold his position , and should have been sent to the right about long ago . Anybody who employs such a man is paying for work he is not getting and ( in the case of a public body ) is mis- spending the public money . But the Local Educa- tion Authority , paying as little as possible all the while , keeps us in their service at starvation wages , thereby admitting we are doing the work properly , and reckon they are doing a smart piece of business . This is dishonourable . And when these long suffering employees express with wages commensurate experience work value , the Local Education Authority ( goaded into moving by pressure from the Board of Education ) offer terms which no self respecting man or woman can accept . Fancy offering a man with a wife and family a £ 5 increment ! It won't pay for the milk . But the Local Education Auth- ority goes further . There is a rule that No teacher shall engage in out of school work for remuneration , without obtaining the permission of the authority . " They have our bodies ; do they want our souls too ? My time out of school is my own . Of necessity I must spend some of it on school work , and some must be given to the study of changing methods and conditions of edu- cation in order that I may keep pace with the times ; but the rest is my own , and I consider it a direct infringment of civilian rights for the Local Education Authority to claim that they have a voice in the manner I dispose of it . Teachers may do what they will for nothing , but I should think that after this they will not lightly enter upon some of the extraneous work that the Local Education Authority has thrust upon them . If good work is to be turned out , the workers must be contented with their lot . The scale will spread discontent throughout the county , as old teachers cannot move about so easily . as freshly appointed ones , and so will remain a dissatisfied lot . Thanking you for the space allowed me in your valuable paper . I am , sir , for al desire and Yours faithfully , J. A. FIRTH . P.S. - Those teachers at present in the employ of the Local Education Authority are not put on to the scale till January 1st , 1919. Those ap pointed now are put on to the new scale from date of appointment . " J.A.F. TEACHERS ' SALARIES . HEREFORDSHIRE'S NEW SCALE . in The following paragraph appeared in last week's issue of " The Schoolmaster " : At its meeting on 28th September the Hereford- shire Education Committee adopted Seale 111. of the Departmental Committee's Report as the . scale under which payments shall be made in the county . The scale is as printed in the report , ' ex- cept that Grade IV , for head teachers is cut out .. Herefordshire adopted new scale just prior 10 the issue of the report , and the present proposals sare a very considerable advance upon that . But it does not appear that there is any proposal apply the scale , to present teachers in accordance with the recommendations of the report from which the figures have been taken . New appoint- ments are to be made under the new scale as from 1st October , 1918 , whereas teachers the service of the Local Education Authority will not come under the operation of the scale until ist Mr. MacKay asked questions with regard to January , 1919 , when they will be placed in the construction of the lines , and the kind of trucks scale at their present salary plus the inerement and carriages . His view of a successful light which will become due under the existing scale . railway was that it should be something of the This must surely mean that newly appointed . nature of a " glorified farm cart " and should teachers will be more generously treated than collect as far as possible the produce at the farm those who have given many years of Service in and bring it right into the market . In regard to the county . " The absence of any " carry over " the weight of the rails , which were said to be 16 scheme is a remarkable omission which ought cer- lbs per yard , he suggested they should be heavier tainly to be remedied before 1st January next . Int to withstand the wear that would be imposed on the discussion on the new proposals it was them . Mr. MacKay went on to speak of the suc pointed out that the county now requires fifteen cess that light railway schemes had met with head teachers , and that the Rowley Regis Local abroad and the produced plans of Hereford- Education Authority has advertised for teachers years at salaries much in advance of those at present Llangarren scheme which he proposed 15 paid in Herefordshire . Even if the new scale ago . attracts new teachers , will it keep those now in the service ? It was also stated by a gentleman who sought to have the proposals referred back that Herefordshire has a larger number of schools of under fifty than any other county in England . This statement appears difficult to justify . The latest Government return shows that Norfolk , for instance , has a considerably greater number of such schools . and that in Westmoreland the per- centage of such schools is much higher than in Herefordshire . Unless some adequate " carry over " scheme is devised ; a number of teachers at present at work in the Herefordshire schools will never reach the maxima of the new scales , and this will have a serious effect , upon their pensions . In reply to Alderman Ballard Mr. MacKay said that passengers could easily be arranged for . Alderman Russell suggested that the Committee should enumerate the districts in the county that was particu- would benefit by light rai'ways . He larly in favour of a route to cater for the district north , of Kingsland . The Committee decided upon the following six routes : - 1. Hereford to Llangarren . 2. Hereford to Bredwardine , via Madley . Mordiford and 4. Hereford to Bromyard , via Burley Gate and Bishops Froome . 46 35 15 3. Hereford to Woolhope , via 43 Checkley . 9 33 19 31 5 Hereford to Dilwyn , via Barghill and Welling- ton . 29 . 10 26 25 50 96 28 6. Leominster to Leintwardine , via Mortimer's Cross and Wigmore . It was decided to prepare a sketch map of these routes so that the opinion of the Committee could be forwarded to the Board of Agriculture . Mr. Brown asked for the opinion of the Com- mittee as to motor transport on some of the routes . Alderman Russell said he much preferred light 36 railways , as motor transport , would entail heavier upkeep of the roads . 37 41 At a further meeting of the Committee Mr. 31 Jack presented a report strongly in favour of the project and proposing the following routes : - No. 1. Hereford to Llangarren , 15 miles . No. 2. Hereford to Woolhope , 8 miles . to Bromyard , 16 miles , with branches to Ledbury 9 miles , Stoke Lacy 53 47 No. 3. Hereford 30 24 73 21 No. 4. Hereford to Bredwardine , 12 miles . 39 21 95 34 20 2 miles and Bosbury I mile . No. 5. Hereford to Leominster , Leintwardine and Lingen miles , with branch to Brampton Brian and Bucknell 2 miles . Total mileage 104 miles . Mr. Porter also presented an important report and it was decided to send both to the Board of Agriculture . FOCH'S ESCAPE .
