Ontario . now have is f ,. ar1 Qme formal protection in the quality of drain tile and plastic tubine_ they will. buy this year, ti ays PrOresioi Ross Irwini 6. Choi of Agricultural Engineering, University. of Guelph, • A series of three specifications were formally n recognized at the Annual Meeting of the Ontario Farm Drainage AsociatY n, . w h i.e h 0 created. Minim, voluntary standar& to be used in the industry, says, Professor • Irwin. The standards were designed : by 'three committees established a year ago by the sat r Axl thein recommendations were accepted on a' tentative basis, which it is hoped Will' be made permanent • in the future. These standards have come about through a consensus of manufacturers An . the industry, and are patterned after those of the American Society, for Testing Materials, for conditions found in Ontario. but have been modified slightly Professor, Irwin _ notes that clay drain tile may now be specified inthree qualities. Standard quality drain tile, usually used, for farm drainage, must have an average , minimum It should also be remembered that drain tile 'must not be less than 12 inchsizes over 12e inches,in lgth the length and, for drainage, mu e s anc.lards el lshiing strength of 800 pounds. per 'ideal foot. The crushing' strength for extra -quality drain tile is 1,100 pounds, and for heavy-duty tile is 1,400 pounds per lineal foot. These two the types must be dense and not , absorb, more than 11% weight when boiled in water for 5. hours. • Concrete drain tile. sp ecigeations are slightly different from those for clay 'drain . ,tile. Standard quality. concrete, drain tile must have a crushing strength of 900 pounds per lineal foot. Extra -quality concrete drain tilemust have a .-crushing_ _strength._ _ of :•_ 1 -,100 -- pounds • per lineal' foot: A "special -quality concrete drain tile is nlanuftured from special cement . to withstand acid or sulfate soils: on .the inside, be, approximately circular and straight, and have smooth butt ends. brain tile should give a clear ring when held free of the ground and •upped with a light metal object.' Extra -quality drain tile , is usually used indeep, wide trenches. A specification' for plastic drainage tubing has been accepted; however, because of the- properties of til material, the tests, for this product cannot be directly compared .with those used for clay and concrete drain' tile. `, It is hoped that engineers will nowtkse these standards for the �specifiication. of materials to be aq ° usecTin a�ilarainage work: S Larnes „ ends ieasoi .o e Wilkinson Copies of a synopsis f these standards may be obtained from the Ontario Farm Drainage Association, P.O: Boxy 459, Parkhill.

"Traffic deaths and injuries a would be reduced by as much as 10 per cent if all cars were in such good mechanical condition that they would -do what ' the drivers: want them to do when they want the vehicles to do it," he said.

The . anachronistic bounty program should also be terminated as ineffective and biologically unsound.
