DRAINAGE ON HEAVY CLAY
SOILS
Where soils are heavy clay imper-
vious to the passage of water, the
efficiency of tile drainage is very low
in proportion to its cost. Lines of tile
roust be laid close together for ef-
fective drainage and as the system
grows older, the soil becomes packed
around the tiles andthe easy escape
of water becomes progressively less.
Under such conditions the system
that has been adopted at the Dom-
inion Ettperimental Station at Kap-
uskasing will be found to serve very
well states E. T. Goring the Assist-
ant
This ' method is a modification of
the system developed by "l'abbe Rich-
ard" in the province of Quebec, The
principal involved is to develop the
surface of the fields into a series
of rounded ridges or `"lands" with
permanent "dead" furrows between,
The water is shed from the ridges in-
to the furrows and escapes down
these to the drainageoutlet, either
a creek or ditch. The • modification,
lies in the widths oi_the lands. These
have been - greatly increased over
those of the parent system, and dis-
tances of '60 to 75 feet between the
permanent dead furrows 'are being
found veryr satisfactory.
It has been found that the rolling
surface of the land is not nearly as.
great 'a hindrance in working the,
land, cutting crops, etc. as might be
expected, and is not a valid reason
for not making use of this System.
In laying out the fields prepara-
tory to establishing this system care
must be taken to divide the field in-
to such a number that the lands may
be worked in pairs, the reason for
which will explain itself.
The rounding up process is done
during the ordinary course of plough-
ing and usually after three plough-
ings the surface of the field begins
to assume the desired shape, At the
first ploughing, striking out is made
in the center of the lands. Subse-
quent ploughings start a few feet on
one side or the other of the center.
For example, at the second
ploughing striking out is done say
five feet to the right of the center
ora one land and five feet to the left
of •center on the next land. As
ploughing proceeds it will be found
that there is a five foot strip left
unploughed on one side of each land
when the other side is finished. These
two strips are then ploughed togeth-
er and thus no time is Iost in making
"empty" return trips across the field,
hence the necessity of having the
lands in pairs. Once the lands are
rounded up to the desired shape, this
is easily maintained by striking out
at different places. !
The lands must be laid out with
the ploughing done up and down the
slope, so that the water may escape
down the dead furrows, and it may
be necessary to clean out these fur-
rows and grade down certain high
spots which may occur in them so
that all the water may escape. This
is the only additional work or ex-
pense involved over and above the
usual ploughing.
While it is not advocated that this
system 'should supplant or replace
tile drainage on soils where the latter
is effective, it can be used to ad-
vantage on heavy clay soils and in
those districts that are being opened
up and for settlement, where the
need for drainage is great but the
capital to establish underground
drainage is not available.
BOTANICAL NOTES FOR
OCTOBER
(Experimental Farms News)
The supreme beauty of the country-
side, at this season, cannot be ade-
quately described; but it can be seen
and admired by all. Everyone will
be stimulated . both physically and
mentally by spending a day in the
woods in close communication with
Dame Nature and her cornucopia of
fleeting magnificence, as she chants
the soul -stirring "Nunc Dimittis" o£
her departing botanical year.
Leaf, fruit and fungus all share in
the making of this transitory love-
liness and bounty so often portrayed
by masters of literature and art.
"Literature is very ancient, but na-
ture is older far. Words are wonder-
ful, but the life of things around you.
is snore than words."
The scientist will not allow us to
linger in our sweet ignorance of the
cause of our beloved autumnal tinted
leaves. He says that these gorgeous
colours are not due to frost, as is
generally supposed, but to the pres-
ence of waste products.
With the first retreat of vitality,
and the withdrawal of the sap to
the roots, the red and gold, the
orange and the purple are but the
mingling of many chemicals in the
leaf, held apart when the foliage is
in full vigour.
When the leaves have performed
their functions, when the fruits have
appeared, matured and ripened, veg-
etation has entered into a new phase;
the leaves lose their brilliant green.
But whatever may be the variety of.
shades which leaves take in their de-
cay, a certain air of sadness per-
vades these ornaments of our fields,
which proclaims the imminence of
the cold season. Cold will soon ar-
rest the sap and disorganize the leaf -
stems; the . leaves withered and de -
foamed will soon' cumber the ground,
toy be blown hither and' thither' by
the wind. It is the season of the
fall of the leaf with all its melan-
choly associations.
But everything in Nature has its
use. Leaves huddled together at the
foot of .the trees, or which have been
disseminated by the autumn winds
over the naked country, disintegrate
slowly upon the soil, where they are
transformed into vegetable, mould
(otherwise known as humus) iridis-.
pensible to the life of plants. 'Thus
death prepares for new life, as the
old must always give way to the
new.
"There is no. death! What seems so
is transition.
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we can Death."'
Wild fruits and fungi adduseful-
ness as well as beauty to October's
brilliant, if sad, requiem. The wild
edible fungi, ' mushrooms or toad-
stools in their various weird forms
and colours, await the collector who

BIG NEWS FROM CRC
"Along the Air Waves" has been
informed of a Dominion -wide com-
petition, to be sponsored by CBC, to
encourage Canadian authors to und-
ertake radio dramatic writing. Co-
incident with this is the announce-
ment that the Corporation will open
its fall dramatic activities with the
most ambitious coast-to-coast net-
work series of Shakespearean plays
ever attempted in Canada.
Headed by some of the Empire's
greatest dramatic stars, all recorded
in the pages of "Who's Who in the
Theatre," C B 0 raises the curtain
Sunday, October 9, 9.00 to 10.00 p.m.
EST with Sir Cedric Hardwiclie as
Shylock in Shakespeare's immortal
play, "Merchant of Venice." Charles
Warburton, another world-famous
Shakespearean actor and producer,
will direct. The music will be ar-
ranged and conducted by Reginald
Stewart, internationally known Can-
adian conductor -pianist.
The efforts which CBC will put be-
hind this series of 13 weekly Shake-
spearean productions in which Can-
adian actresses and actors will have 1
an opportunity to support, in addition
such great stars as Eva Le Gallienne,
Walter Hampden, Raymond Massey,
and many others to be announced lat-
er, will undoubtedly result in the
highest degree of efficiency in radio
drama production which has ever'
been witnessed in Canada. '''
The eternal popularity of Shake-
spearean plays, the fact that radio
is considered a better medium than.
either the stage or screen by which
to present Shakespeare, and 'the
cleverness of the construction of
Shakespeare's works will make this
series the most valuable illustration
and guide for -the numerous authors,
professional as well as amateurs, who
desire guidance in writing for par-
ticipation in CBC's Radio Drama con-
test.
The Corporation is offering four
cash prizes of $250.00, $150.00,. pm -
00, and $50.00 for the best half or
full -hour plays by authors domiciled
and resident in Canada. The contest
has been decided upon by CBC in an
effort to create nation-wide interest
in the development of Canadian plays
by Canadian authors, to assist them
in reaching a high standard and to
find a permanent market at fair re-
numeration for their works.
The 13 Shakespearean plays will be
produced in C B C's Toronto studios
and all will star one or more of the
greatest Shakespearean interpreters
in the "Empire. They will be expertly
produced and illustrated with special-
ly arranged music of Elizabethan
times. Other celebrities with whom
C B C is at present negotiating in
clude:•Mauriee Evans, Margaret Ang-
lin and Walter Huston.
The radio drama contest will start
with the premiere of the Shakespear-
ean series and close on January 1,
1939. In order that the plays sub-
mitted may be judged on merit alone,
the authors' names must not appear
on manuscripts. Entry forms and
complete details will be available on
application to any CBC station. The
Board of Adjudicators will be inde-
pendent of the CBC having officers
of the CBO merely as assessors and'

From the four corners of Canada
come these amateur entertainers to
appear on Ken Soble's broadcast. Mr.
Soble first conceived the idea of an
all -Canadian . amateur program four
years ago. His programhad a modest
beginning on a single station. A. cap-
able radio showman, Soble won new
listeners with every program, and as
the fame of Ken Sable's Amateurs
spread, more stations were added to
the network. New, as the program
enters its fourth year, there are 16
Canadian stations in addition to OK -
NX carrying it each Sunday.
Entertainers from this district can
compete for a place on this broad-
cast, now that CKNX is linked up
with it. Anyone who wants to apply
for an audition has only to address

HISTORICAL FACTS:
The first records of Ontario Street Church date away back to .
the years before the present church was built. After the church
was organized in the early days under such splendid ministers as..
Revs. Williams, Edwards, Dobell, Philip 'lames, George Webber and
Josias Green and W. Roach; steady progress was manifested under
the ministry of W. Wade and Roger Allin and the new church was .
built in 1877-78 under the ministry of Rev. R. T. Courtice.
The first church was a small white frame church, where the
Baptist Church now stands. It was first built as a Bible Christian
Church and during the ministry of John Kenner it united in the •
union of the Methodist Churches in Canada, and Turner's Church
was added to Ontario Street as a circuit.
Two additions were necessary to the new' building since its .
erection. In 1925 it entered the larger union and became Ontario..
Street United Church.
ACTIVITIES:
The Women's Association (Ladie s .Aid) was first organized in
1886, during the pastorate of Rev. W. W. Snarling.
The Woman's Missionary Society was organized in 1888 during
the pastorate of Rev. Jos. Edge.
The Young People's League (Union) dates back to the pastorate.
of Rev. W. Sperling.
The Girls Club first came into existence during the ministry
of Rev. C. J. Moorhouse.
Two Missionaries Sent to Foreign Field:
'Miss Sybil Courtiee in Japan has served for many year:r ander
the Woman's Missionary Society.
Rev. Kenneth Beaton, B.A. was one of our own boys who
went to China and later returned to take up the Missionary
Educational work at Headquarters. Mr. Beaton will address the
Congregation and friends October 4th at 8.00 P.M. after the Annual
Supper.
The first record we have of the formation of the Sunday
School is dated in 1871 when Rev. W. Wade was pastor.
Mr. E. Livermore K.C. who addressed the Sunday School last
Sunday is a product of the good work of the Sunday School of
Ontario Street United Church.
There have been three Recording Stewards (Secretaries) ie
sixty years, John Gibbings, Harrison Wiltse and Oliver Jervis.
The present choir leader, Mr. B. J. Gibbings, has been director
of the choir for forty-five .years -A remarkable record.
Extensive repairs have been made to the church this past
summer, including the entire renovation of the choir loft. Diamond
Jubilee Services for three Sundays start this coming Sunday, Sept-
ember 25th with Rev. F. G. Parrili being the first former pastor
to speak.
