Long .List of Actions at Huron Assipes This Week Mr. justice Gale is,presiding at the fall assizes of the Supreme Court at. Goderich which opened on Tuesday afternoon, Oct.. 12. The docket is a heavy one. While no criminal cases are. listed, there are six civil actions, with 'jury; tlu•ee actions for divorce; and one motion on the list. The civil actions all arise out of motor accid- ents. Ralph Godfrey and his son, How- ard Godfrey, are seeking damages of $27,000 with costs from George Gad- bois and Ralph Parkinson, Goclericlt, and 'Joseph Sproule, Wawanosh, for injuries received in an accident on the county highway between Dungan- .. non and Nile. A total of $62,500 dam- ages is asked for in the action of Ro- land Motz, Exeter; against Wonder Bakeries, Ltd., London, and their truck driver; John E. Bibbings. The ,plaintiff claims he was struck by a motor vehicle owned by the Wonder Bakeries and driven by Bihbings while he was standing on provincial high- way No. 4 south of Exeter, on March 3, 1947. Bie suffered internal and ex- ternal injuries, which resulted in the amputation of a leg. Allah Fraser, Exeter, has also entered an action for stated damages of $31,500 against the Wonder Bakeries, for injuries be re - received in the same accident. It is claimed that the plaintiff's motor ve- hicle became stuck in the snow. While be was endeavoring to free the veh- hicle, the defendant's truck crashed into it, crushing the plaintiff against a motor vehicle owned by a Mr. Roe, who was stopped a short distance be - h; nd the plaintiff's car.

Ou tuiprefitable fields at Malabar they had found the same problem—an impervious subsoil layer just under the topsoil,—but they blamed it on the action of the mold board plow. The broad, flat foot of the plow, pressing down on the sub- soil time after time in a century o1 fanning, they believe, had a flatiron action that created the watertight layer just under the topsoil. At Mala- bar they tried the same idea—a deep - reaching steel hook to smash up that subsoil layer. It worked there, and brought back to production a Held that had been abandoned for cropping. Earl E. Cranston anis Gladys Crans- ton, Wawanosh, are suing Charlton Berner, Goderich, for stated damages totalling $10,550, for injuries suffered in an accident Nov. 21, 1947, on High- way No. 8, between Clinton and Sea - forth. The plaintiffs claim negligence, excessive speed, lack of control, and failure to give half the road. Mrs. Cranston claims damages because of a fractured pelvis, bruises and shock. Arnold Desjardine and Edward Gin, Stephen township, are plaintiffs in an action claiming damages, respective- ly, of $2,600 and $575 from Percy Hewitt, Exeter, for injuries received in an accident on Aug. 15, 1947, when a car driven by Mr. Desjardine, he which Mr. Gill and his daughter were passengers, was in a collision wtib a vehicle driven by the defendant. The defendant has entered a counter claim for $700;. General damages of $10,000 are be- ing sought in an action entered by Sproat, et al, Seaforth, against Hor- ace Brotherton, Tuckersuiith, for fatal injuries received by the plaintiff's sou, Frank Sproat, in an accident at 1.30 a.m., Sept. 28, 1947, on highway No. 8, half a mile from Sebringville, when Frank Sproat was allegedly struck by the defendant's car as he was walking on the highway. In Bryant et al. vs. Bache, Harvey J. Bryant, Hamilton, and William R. ';Tallies, Owen Sound, are seeking damages, respectively, of $6,241 and $4,059 from William Eadie, I3olyroocl, Bruce County. The plaintiffs are claim- ing the damages for injuries received in a collision on Aug. 30, 1947, when the plaintiffs were in collision with a farm combine attached to a tractor driven by the defendant. Agricultural colleges and research stations have been working on the idea of a subsoiler for several years, but the farm machinery companies are not yet marketing them. When Hugh Hill became convinced of the import- ance of the idea, he started hunting Ontario for au actual subsoiler. He could find only two; one of them he was able to buy this spring, and take home for experimenting on his own farm near Benmiller•, in Colborne township. This week he brought it out to the plowing match, and put it to work on a knoll in 'the pasture field where the match was held on the West Wawa- Former Kippen Resident Finds nosh farm. of Stewart.

Jack Fergu- son, Exeter, said Lawrence was driving his car south on the high- way when he was in collision with the ear driven by Leppington with Gliddon .and Miss Petzke as other passengers. Following the crash a nearby hy- dro pole was snapped off. The Leppington vehicle was des- cribed as a total wreck, while the Lawrence car had about $500 dam- age done to it. Dr. J. A. McLean, Hensall, attend- ed at the scene and took the injured persons to hospital. Mrs. Norah Hazelwood, London, was reported resting comfortably in Scott Memorial Hospital, Friday night following an accident in which the car she was driving to Bayfield on Highway No. 4, 15,4 miles south of Brucefield. She received a frac- tured nose and cuts to the knees. `Sub§oiler' Shown at Plowing' Match i r to do. For the demonstration, Mr. Hill borrowed the largest size that is made in one of the standard makes of rubber -tired tractor. Once the claw disappeared down into the ground, and began to take its bite, the front wheels of the tractor would occasion- ally lift off the ground. On his own farm, said Mr. Hill, he used the subsoiler this spring to break up the subsoil in five acres of a 10 - acre field. Then he planted the 10 acres to corn. and got a much better crop 'from the subsoiled half of the field thou from the five acres tilled in the e'ont'elll ierinll way.

Thanks to Hugh Hill of Boumiller. spectators at the North Huron plow- ing match near Auburn had a chance to see a subsoiler ill action. For most of them, it was the first look at the odd new implement that may be the. salvation of'.many hard -to -drain farm fields. The business end of the subsoiler is simply a powerful steel claw, which, puts its pointed finger down into the ground below the level of ordinary cultivation, and rips a trench through any hardpan it finds underlying the topsoil. In Mr. Hill's demonstration the claw was regulated to work 20 inches down. Subsoil cultivation has been a pri. vate research hobby with Hugh Hill for some time. In conunon with other thinking farmers, he has come to suspect that a good many farm drain- age problems can be blamed on hte tendency of ordinary topsoil cultiva- tion to create a hard, waterproof layer just below the 10 -inch or 12 -inch Bruit of conventional implements. Once such a layer lute formed, the tilled layer on top becomes a sponge, soak- ing up water and holding it, because the water can not get down through the hard layer just underneath. Hugh Hill suspects that the rotting away of the tree roots that were left in our Onario soil by the virgin for- ests is one of the reasons for the need now of something like the subsoiler. Mr. Hill reasons that 'after the for- est was cleared away the roots re - large organ factory which employ ed many residents.

Experimental work has shown definitely that to maintain the quality of eggs they must be kept in an atntoepltere that is both cool and moist ---4i' clegrees Fahrenheit temperature and above 75 per cent humidity. A well ventilated cellar serves the purpose excellently, but where a cellar is not available the same results may bo obtained 'by the use of an egg cabinet --Stn egg cooler and humidifier in oris --such as has been ,evolved through the co-oper- ative work of the Poultry Division and the Agricultural Engineering Section, Field Husbandry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Full plans and specifications of the cabinetmay be obtained by writing to the Farm..j The size of the cabinet ay be increased according to individual requirements. It is divided into , three compartments. The tap com- partment or shelf may be used for empty cases so that they will be cooled before filling. The bottom shelf will hold the wire baskets full of eggs as they are brought front the poultry house and cooled before packing, and the middle shelf will serve as the receptacle for the eggs packed for shipment. The sides, top, and 'bobtorn of the ,calbinet are built of tongued .' and grooved lumber; also the front which is trade in the form of a hinged door. The back is cov.eredwith a burlap curtain which is continually kept moist by having one end hang- ing from a tank of water oli top of the cabinet and the bottom end of the curtain loosely falling into the HIBBERT Hibbert Township Council met in regular session on Monday, Oct. 4, in the Township hall, Staffa, with all members present, the Reeve, Mr. Frank Alien, presiding.
