Perennials To Propagate Now
(Experimental Farms News)
Spring and early summer flowering
perennials should tie divided without
delay. If the iris plants are large and
the flowers smaller than usual 0 is
time to take up the plant and divide
it. The old central part should be
discarded and the outer part divided
into clumps containing from one to
four fans of leaves according to the
number of plants required. if Peonies
need transplanting or if new plants
are desired, early in September is the
time to do the work, advises the
Division of Horticulture, Central Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa. The roote

YOUTH COMMITTED ON
MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE
Lorne Jardine of Ethel will stand
trial for manslaughter before a
county judge at the Huron County
fall assizes which open on Monday,
November 4. In the preliminary heat-
ing in pollee court at Goderich nn
Friday afternoon Magistrate J. A.
Makins of St'atfm'd decided that
there was sufficient evidence to send
the young man to the higher court
for trial. Jardine was charged follow-
ing an accident last July 7, whena
car, said to have been driven by 1
him, crashed into a bridge near
Ethel, causing fatal injuries to Ida
Ritchie and Betty Edwards of Gerrie.
The accused was freed on bail of
$5,000, Description of the terrible
head injuries sustained by the two
girls who were killed was given.
Huron county traffic officer Norman
Lever of Clinton said that the 60 foot
bridge which was struck by the car,
was supported by cement abutments
at either end. The car struck the-
southeast
hesoutheast corner of the bridge, travel-
led to the road on the north side and
rolled over twice. He said a pipe from
the guard rail pierced the car and
emerged through the gasoline tank.
There were no signs of brake marks,
he said. No indication of the speed of
the car could be given by Edith Rit-
chie, sister of one of the dead girls.
She said she was riding in the front
seat of the cat' and testified that
Lorne Jardine was driving. The flash-
light: was not illuminated and she had
no means of estimating the speed et
which the car was travelling. The
girls had been in Listowel and were
given a ride home by Jardine and Lee
Wardlaw. After the crash site said
Jardine exclaimed "look what I've
done." • Later when the lights of an
approaching car could be seen Jar-
dine crossed the wrecked bridge to
warn the motorist of the accident.`
The motorist was William Newton of
Garde. Several times during the hear.
ing proceedings had to be delayed
when Edith Ritchie broke down in
tear's. She was allowed to leave the
witness stand until she regained her
composure, Defence counsel Campbell
Grant of Walkerton contended that
there was insufficient evidence to up-
hold a manslaughter charge. He
pointed our that there was no avid.
ence of excessive speed.
