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

..
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

If you have steam -driven or standby generating
equipment of any kind that is not at present in full-
time use, which could be utilized to augment the
Commission's available resources, please wire us
collect, giving full particulars.
The gravity of the situation can not be over em-

conservation projects, they had an-
other theory. 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-

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

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

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

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 -

ed many residents. He noticed some
changes in Stratford where he re-
called spending week ends sone 50
years ago with the late John Mc-
Lellan, a Stratford man who at that

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,

cabinetmay be obtained by writing

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.
