LETTER OF THE DAY - Farm yields affected by soil health
The Editor, Sir: Your editorial of May 1 opens with an excellent headline, 'Frank debate needed on agriculture's way forward', but then closes with a proposal that is not the answer to our production...

Taxi menace
The Editor, Sir: Watch out for him on the road. He is easily and immediately identified by his extremely dangerous, inconsiderate, contemptuous, stupid and illegal driving habits.

Patriotism vs senseless demonstrations
The Editor, Sir: I do appreciate and celebrate the memory of Paul Bogle and our ancestors who marched from Stony Gut to Spanish Town to highlight their concerns to the colonial government.

Good Samaritans in a recession
The Editor, Sir: Quite frankly, I have had to wonder whether Jamaicans really were experiencing a 'recession'. Stores are still filled and social life seems to be as active as ever.

The Editor, Sir: The tax on books shows the Government is not connecting the dots regarding illiteracy and crime.
