For Satisfactory Porch
This is the 27th in a series of
articles by Central Mortgagee
and Housing Corporation, Fed=
eral housing agency, on build-
ing a house.
There are almost as many types
of porches as there are house de-
signs. Porches may be part of the
building itself or may be.detached.
Sometimes a porch is nothing more
than a slab of. concrete resting on
the ground; in this case it is call-
ed a stoop. A porch with a sloping
base projecting from the concrete
foundations called a corbelled
porch. The porch can also be sup-
ported on piers or onood or steel
columns resting on Miers, or it
may rest directly on the founda-
tion.
Stoops or other concrete porches
without foundations should not be
built unless the ground beneath is
firm. A • heavy concrete stoop on
loosely packed soil may sink a foot
or more Wore it finallycomes to
rest. Sinking porches are often as-
sociated with frozen earth used as
fill. A corbelled porch with its
base entirely underground is not
recommended with soils which ex-
pand in freezing conditions. As
the earth expands and pushes up
against the corbelling there is dan-
ger of the foundation splitting.
Supporting piers should extend
-belew the frost line. The depth of
the- frost :line varies in different
parts of the -country depending up-
on the, length and severity of the
winter. ,
Wooden supports resting on piers
should be kept clear of the ground
and the underside of the wood
should be tarred to protect it
against dampness. In concrete
porches which are joined to the
foundation, reinforcing rods are
frequently used. The rods should
be placed in the upperd of the
concrete, not in the lower por-
tion.
Handrails should be installed on
the porch if it is more than two
feet above ground level or if it has
more than three • steps. ..
Flooring for use on ottside ver-
andahs or perches should be made
of wood that weathers well. Good
quality pine, Douglas fir or Paci-
fic Cypress (also known as coast
cedar) are suitable for this pur
pose.
MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE—A porch must have a" solid
base. If supported by piers or a foundation these should extend
below the frost line to prevent damage. A slab porch, also called
a stoop, may rest on top of the ground, provided the soil is pro-
perly drained and well packed down, with no danger of settling.
HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS
By CARL. HEMINGWAY
The announcement of the rates
of compensation for easements for
the construction of Hydro lines was
made gat a meeting sponsored by
the County Federation of Agricul-
ture, for those on the Seaforth-Clin-
ton line, Monday evening in the
agricultural board rooms, Clinton.
The Properties Department of
the O.F.A. have been negotiating
with Hydro for an improved basis
of compensation for over two years
and have gained substantial bene-
fits for the land owner. By ,com-
parison .with the previous, rates,
the Federation did very well in-
deed, since the compensation, re-
troactive to July 1, 1958, is almost
three times what it was formerly.
However, lest anyone think that
Hydro has been overly generous,
ft¢��let ,us consider just what, it means
ep'1o. the farmer,, On the average 100 -
acre farm, with the line going
straight across, it means that there
will be two pole settings in fence
lines. For the inconvenience, some
risk and the loss of some right to
this land, the owner will receive
the equivalent of $12.00 per year
rent. If the poles are in cultivated
land away from the fence, he will
receive another $5.00 for the extra
inconvenience of working around
these poles. I don't think Hydro
have squandered your money in
paying this compensation. (These
figures are for twin -pole high ten-
sion lines).
Perhaps a more important .gain
obtained by theFederation is the
fact that.,you nw have a choice in
the terms of settlement.
1. The owner may accept a cash
payment now for the full value of

the perpetual easement on the new
and increased basis.
2. Alternatively, he may accept
recurrent 20 -year payments, each
of which in a typical case will be
the approximate equivalent of a
single --cash payment in effect be-
fore these changes were introduc-
ed. Cumulatively • these 20 -year
payments are also the actuarial
equivalent 'of the single cash pay-
ment on the new basis. ' •
3. If the owner accepts No. 2
now, atthe end of 20 years he
may accept a cash payment in
full settlement for perpetual ease-
ment at the full cash easement
price then in effect, or that which
applied when the original agree-
ment--,was
gree-
ment-,was signed, whichever is
greater.
4. Underl•.any of -these alterna-
tives, in event that subdivision de-
velopment approaches atany time
in the future within one mile of
the farm in question, attaching a
value to it for other than farm
purposes, Hydro agrees to pur-
chase the right-of-way at its then
current value. -
All this seems quite encourag-
ing, but just as the (log Producers
seemed to be making headway,
Bill 86 was born. Now that the
Properties Department Seems to
be getting a fairer deal for agri-
culture, Bill 120 has been concoct-
ed. From reports, I am told, that
it is much worse than Bill 86.

EMPHASIZE FARM ACCIDENT CAUSES
AS SAFETY WEEK PROCLAIMED
The harvest season on Canadian
farms is 52 weeks long , • : . for
death! - Each yea"r an estimated
1200 farm people are killed, and
over 100,000 are injured in acci-
dents. There is a twist of tragic
irony in the fact that so many
Canadians lose their live provid-
ing the food without which the
country could not live.
And to make the picture more
grim, the Ontario Safety League
points out that the majority of
these deaths are somebody's fault
—and could be prevented. The
main cause of these accidents is
human failure—ignorance and care-
lessness.
Safety organizations across the
country are trying to stop acci-
dents on the • farm. For the third
year. Canada will join the U.S. in
observing Farm Safety. Week,
which has been proclaimed for
July 24-30.
Every farmer should lend his
support, too. As individuals, rural
residents can help in the battle
against farm accidents by making
regular inspections of their homes,
buildings, fields, machinery and
equipment. A little repair and ex-
tra care is most of what it takes
to bring safety home to the farm.
As groups, farmers can'work for
safety too. Rural organizations
should make accident prevention
a part of their activity. July 24-30
will be a good opportunity for
rural residents to take a few new
lessons in safety—and then prac-
tice them all year. . .

Departrm nt of AgrICOlture figures,.
the. Qntarie Wheat t odneers' Mar-
keting Board said this week,
The 1960 crop of 525,000 acres,
with the exception, of 1,959 crop of
425,000 acres caused by winterkiU,
is the lowest acreage recorded
since 1946. The ten>year average
production per acre is 23.2 bush-
els. The 1960 crop is expected to
yield slightly over 17 million bush-
els which is 82 per cent of the 10 -
year average.
Over -speculation . has affected
the price to the harmer. Today's
price ranges from $1.42-$1.45. as
compared to $1.55 last year.
With an exceedingly short crop
of spring grain allowing greater
storage for wheat at farms, The
Ontario Wheat Producers' Market-
ing Board recommends that grow-
ers store their wheat. The negoti-
ated- floor price to farmers was
set at $L40 during July to Sep-
tember. A 2c a bushel per month
is escalated to. FePruary when the
floor price is $1.50 and remaining
for the month of March.
Present supplies of Ontario
wheat at terminal elevators is
short in comparison to past years.
All factors being constant and the
marketing of wheat being orderly
rather ,than flooding the market
should advance the domestic price
comparable to the past year.
