A village set on a hill is Staffa, iii Perth County. • Mrs. George 'Gilmore,. wife of the minister. Of the United 'Church, the only church now in Staffa, says that the springs which gush out of the hill are "the purest water ever tasted by Man." And Mrs. Gilmore knowsi.and loves every meth of Staffa ground', hill end valley, though she bas lived there only two years. • The wife of a minister who has served this -church, long and faithfully, Mrs. Gilmore now finds 'herself, in the closing years of that service, liv- ing in a manse where • "things grow in the garden if you just throw in the seeds. There is a garden like this belonging to every one of the 26 Souses in the village, and every house is occupied.. Staffs is"10'miles from Mitchell, 10 'miles from Exeter, 10 miles from St. Marys, 10 miles from Seaforth. Traf- fic to and from these busy centres - fl•ows through) the hilly street of the little town, where, declares Mrs. Gil- more with theenthusiasm of a real fan, the air is light, pure and delight- ful. A Worthy Project This may be why the 18 women who form the Women's Association of the United Church are so active, and so successful in their activities. Mrs. Gilmore, a former member of Middle- sex Pres;byiteriat, is the president. Tile immediate project of the group is the redecoration of the small, attractive brick church, so that inside and out it may be suitable as the centre of the attractive churchyard. It is to be cleaned througaout (not a doubt but what these women will see to that themselves), revarrished and repaint- ed. There is talk of painting the u'g- per. walls a clear pastel blue; the ciurth is bright; the -windows are unstained and there is nothing to pre- vent the full entry of the sun at any time. "And the decorator suggests a ceiling done in silver stars and this is what we will probably have," Mrs. Gilmore told The Free Press. The money? Well, the W. A. drove a good bargain eiver an, old unused shed: ,lit„ _the churchyard. They sold that for $25. They made a sun -ray quilt which took exactly 350 hours of work on the part of members. But they sold each "ray" for two cents and cleared over $40. They hope to • Bell the pinged article for an equal sums• They will Make more than this, of course, There are. still the familiar avenues of church ean.�cei ts, socials and suppers to . be tried. The spirit which prompts -the Safa folk to call their lovely 'hill• a "Mountain" finds, no endeavor too dhtgh. Staffa was formerly called Spring- hill. • KEN SORLE. AMATEURS TO STAR ON CKNX T. Cruickshank, Manager of CKNX, has annenneed that "The Home Station" has .successfully com- pleted arrangement; to hook up with one of .the most popular network pro- grams on the 'air in Canada. Commencing Sunday, Sept. 25th, and each Sunday at 12.30 p.m., CKNX will broadcast Ken Sable's Original Ama- teur Show, direct from , the stage of the Lansdowne Theater in Toronto. 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 program had a mod- est beginning on a 'Single station. • A capable radio showman,, Soble won new listeners with every program, and as the facie of KenSoble's Ama- teurs spread, more stations" were add, ed to the "network. Now, as the pro- gram enters its" fourth year, 'there are sixteen Canadian stations in addition to CKNX carrying it each Sunday. Entertainers from this district can compete for a place on this broadcast, now that CKNX is linked up with it. Anyone who wants to apply for an -audition has only to address a letter to Ken Soble, Toronto. TRRd HOMONAS HOMINIS—an In- testinal parasite causing painful inflammation.

MARTHA iCROMARTY ELIMVILLE Devielop Surface of F411,43 Into Series of Ro ed Ridges. Where soils are heavy • clan 'imper- vious to the passage of water, the of- fieleney` of tile drainage is very' low in proportion to its cost. Lines of tike must be raid close together for effec- tive drainage' and, as the system grows alder, the 'soil becomes ,packed) around the' tiles and the easy, eseape of wa- ter becomes progressively! less. Under such conditions the system that has been adopted at the Dominion Experi- mental Station at Kapuskasdngwill be found to serve very . well, states E. T. Goring, .the Assistant. This method is a modif cation of the system developed by "1'abbe Rich - 'and" in"the Province of Quebec. The principle involved is to develop the surface of the fields into a. series of reended ridges or "lands" with perm- aten:t "dead" furrows between. The Water is shed from the ridges into the furrows and escapes down these to the drainage outlet, either a creek nr dhteih. The modification lies in the widths of the • lands. These have been greatly increased over those of the parent aistem, and distances of 60 to 75 feebetween the permanent dead furrows are being found very 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, preparatory to establishing this system, care must be taken to divide the field into 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 ploughings the surface of the fields begins to as- sume the desired shape. At the first ploughing. striking out is made in the center of the lands. Subsequent ploughing start a few feet on one side or the other of the center. For ex- ample, "at the second ploughing strik- (Intended for last week) visited their twin friends, Misses Etheleen and Eileen Johns over the week -end.

AS ploughing 'proceeds it will be found tnat there is a five ioot strip left un.plioughed on one side of each land when the other side is fin- ished. These two strips are then ploughed together\ and thus ro time is lost in making "empty' return trips across the field, hence .the necessity of having the lands la pairs. Once the lands are rounded up to the de- sired 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 nec- essary to clean out rtihese.furrows 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 expense 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 advantage on, heavy clay soils and in those dis- tricts that are being opened up and for settlement, where the need for drainage is great but fttle capital to establish underground drainage is not PIPE TOBACCO FOR. 0.
