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.

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. ,ST.

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. . . ALL KINDS S of INSURANCE W. E.

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.
