Thursday, June 13th, 1940 COUNTY HAS MADE FINE START Every day it is reported that anoth­ er municipality has adopted some idea to aid the war effort. These vary in many ways and the amounts are also very different. This is to be expected. Some places want to give a tank, a plane, an ambulance or some other useful equipment. Huron County has already started their contribution by handing over Sky Harbour to the gov­ ernment, free of charge. This expend­ iture was endorsed last year by the Council without a dissenting vote. This contribution is a novel one in that this field is the only one in Can­ ada which was under the control of a County Council. This contribution is also a very useful one and as time goes on it will play a bigger and more important part in the war effort The Cry at present is “more planes” but these would be of no use if we did not have the men to handle them. Sky Harbour will be a preliminary train­ ing field. The work to put it in shape for this purpose will commence at once. Huron County has made an ex­ cellent start by the donation of the field and they can be assured that the citizens of this county will back them in any useful war contribution which they decide PATRIOTIC society formed The organization of the FatrioticJ Society here last week was the fulfil-, meat of a need in this community.

To meet the tactics of Nazi “Germany and other countries, Britain I found k necessary to adopt compul­ sory military training. There is a i growing sentiment in Canada in favor I of such a step. In fact, many are of ■ the opinion that it is absolutely nec­ essary in order that we may put forth ‘our best war effort. The New York- Times in an editorial last week says - that never before did they believe in; the wisdom of such a policy in time • of peace. This paper advocates the adoption of such a step because, as the editorial states, the logic of ev­ ents drives us remorselessly to this conclusion. The editorial goes on to explain the conditions of European af­ fairs due to the agression of Nazi Ger­ many and says “the most powerful, mechanized army that the world has even seen is now striking at Faris.' We must consider realistically the consequences of that army’s victory,” If we are to preserve all that hold dear our every effort is not much —- no sacrifice is too great Blyth Doctor Expects To Be Called Dr. Kilpatrick is momentarily ex­ pecting a call to join the medical staff in connection with army work, at London.

One hundred and thirty dollars was stolen in the joint home of Harvey Moody and Douglas Moore, the latter an insurance agent. The thief gained entrance by the use of a skeleton key. The Knox church manse was also entered but the prowl­ er was frightened away when Rev. W. E. Kelley’- called out thinking that it was Mrs. Kelley moving about. Nothing was reported stolen in the home of Mrs. Robert Ronalds, al­ though all the drawers on the lower floor had been ransacked and there was evidence that someone had enter­ ed through the rear door. i f UP CLEANS as it POLISHES Cuts grease and dirt.

HOW TO TAKE SOIL SAMPLES Injured When Team Belted When a team with which he was: sowing beans ran away, John Rintoul, well known Huron toad farmer, was run over by the drill. Mr. Rintoul was alone in 'the field when .the accident occurred, but his employee, Harty ; (Science Service Notes) . The amount of soil used by an an­ alyst when rfring the rapid soil testing method is about one teaspoonful re­ presenting about one two hundred millionth of an acre, If the purpose of the soil testing is to reveal aver­ age conditions existing in a field or plot, the sample should be a compos­ ite one, that is, a mixture of soil tak­ en systematically from ten. or more points over the field. If the test is used to account for an abnormal con­ dition, the sampling should be con­ fined to this area, and another sample collected from the normal area. Like­ wise if the texture of the soil in the field varies markedly, a composite sample representing each soil type should be obtained. To take a composite sample, the area should be treated in a systematic manner. ■Conditions such as knolls, hollows, poor drainage, places where wood had been burned or where straw or manure had been piled should be avoided or a -separate sample .taken from these areas. A clean spade or shovel, a large knife, a clean bucket or piece of cloth or heavy paper about four feet square and the required number of absolutely clean containers holding about a pint are required. At the chosen points, the debris on top of the soil should be removed and a small trench dug about eight inches deep and about a foot long.
