It is well, of course, that 'weeds are de- stroyed because they certainly do not add to the appearance of flowers or even vegetables, and they do rob the plants we want to grow of food, moisture and sunshine. But the main reason for cultivation (and this is why it should be carried out regularly at least once a week during the first part of the sea- son), is to let the air into the soil, to conserve moisture, to work in fertilizer and numus;. in other words, to produce the' right climate or environment for our flowers and vegetables. ., Regular cultivation alone will make a surprising difference in the texture of the soil, will break up the hard lumps and make it' more open or friable, as the experts say. But the wise gardener will do more than just cultivate to build up his soil. He will add humus by digging in barnyard manure if he can get it, or straw, rotted leaves, vegetable refuse, peat moss and so on. In case where the garden soil is very heavy clay he may also add sand, or ashes. For sandy soil, too, he will dig in straw, leaves and compost' He will also add chem- ical fertilizer, of the kind re- commended by seed houses for his particular type of soil or for the kind of flowers, grass or vegetables he intends to grow. Not all require. the same food, - some like bone meal, some -need nitrogen, some pot- ash. Where the garden soil is 'na- turally heavy and it is difficult to get a good eatch of carrots, beets or parsnips, it is a good plan to dig a trench about a foot wide and deep. This is filled with compost mixed with some fine and enriched soil, and perhaps a little sand. It may be necessary to water this down or at least firm it by tramping. Then the seed is sown fairly thin and merely pressed in, and kept moist until it has germin- ated. One must be careful, of course, in the first watering, not to wash out the seed as it will only be barely covered. It is amazing how the seed will germinate under these condi- tions and usually so quickly that the young plants will crowd out all weeds. It will hardly be necessary to thin, as this specially prepared soil in the trench is so fine and loose that there will be plenty of room for the roots. About the only thinning necessary will be to start using carrots and beets when they are very small and taking out the larger ones each time and leaving room for the remainder to develop. LOCAL BRIEFS Prof. A. V. Corlett, of Queen's University, Kingston, and Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Council took no action, but' in- dicated that it would not be possible to consider an adjust- ment a long as the condemned building existed on the proper- ty. The letter was referred to the assessor. The Ontario Municipal Board advised that the town's appli- cation to annex 25 acres a; the easterly limits of the town to provide a site for a proposed new hospital, would be approv- ed, subject to details concern- ing a road allowance from No, 8 Highway northerly being worked out. Notice of the annual meeting of the Huron County Municipal Officer's' Association, which is being held in Clinton on Wed- nesday, Was considered and council approved payment of annual fees. A contentious matter extend- ing over several years—the pro- vision of an increased protec- tion at the CNR crossing --came to a head when the Board of Transport Commissioners in an order addressed to council, pro- vided that the CNR was to add an additional flashing light -with- in 10 months. The order of the board said that 80 per cent of the cost, or $5,'792.00, would be paid for out of the grade cross- ing fund, and of the balance, 12/2 per cent, would be paid by the town, and the remaining 71/2 per cent by the CNR. In considering the order, council- lors indicated that the cost to the town was substantially less than was originally proposed when the matter was first raisc ed. At that time the overall estimated cost of the project was something in the order of $20,000. The Seaforth unit of the Can- cer Society expressed apprecia- tion for the use of town facili- ties during the cancer cam - Council took no action in con- nection with a request from H. G. Meir, on behalf of the Scout Association, asking for addition- al accommodation for storage of scouting materials in the Arena. In discussing the let- ter, councillors pointed out that much assistance already had been given the Scouts and Guides. Among the work which had been completed recently was the provision of a new floor for the Girl Guides on the second floor of the Town Hall, in the old band room, at a cost of $370. Councillor Cardno said a meeting was being held in Zur- ich next week to discuss action that might be taken in connec• tion with the Bayfield Valley Area. The area lies between the Maitland Authority and the Ausable Authority and, in his view, it was most essential that it be attached to the Maitland Authority. At the present time Seaforth was partly in the Mait- land Authority and partly in Bayfield Valley. He hoped that there would be a large attend- ance at the meeting and stress- ed the importance of the con• servation program. "If we don't conserve the na- tural 'resources with which we are endowed, we are simply asking for trouble,' he said. "We can only recover them in years to ' come at the cost of many thousands of dollars more than is involved now." He add- ed that while it may •cost a bit more as far as Seaforth 'was concerned, if the entire town was in the authority the bene- fits would far outweigh the cost. ,Reporting for the finance committee, Councillor Angus McLean pointed out .that as a result of the tighter controls which had been introduced, the town was operating on a re- duced budget. Clerk Hammond recalled that in 1962 an amount been saved as a result of the collection of arrears in various accounts. The report of . the public works committee was presented by the chairman, Carl Dalton, and 'street foreman Harold Ma- loney. Work which had been carried out included the laying of tile on a number of streets and cleaning up of lands abut- ting the dump. Equipment had been prepared for summer stor- age, and patching of streets had been carried out preparatory to oiling. . Long a topic of discussion at council meetings, the purchase of land in the area adjacent to the sewer disposal plant, was again on the agenda. Agree- ment had been entered into when the land .was originally purchased, to purchase the bal- ance of the land for $150, but this had never been proceeded with. Council instructed the clerk to take the necessary ac- tion so- that the matter could be tidied up at the next meet- ing. Council instructed the police of $1,500 in bank interest had committee to take action in conjunction with the Clerk so that agreements with the Police force covering the employment for the current'year might be concluded. Approval was giv- en the purchase of a flasher - light at a cost of $57.00 from Box Furniture for use on the cruiser. There was criticism that parking bylaws are not being enforced to the degree that council felt should he the case. "There's no use in hav- ing meters if they're not en- forced," was the comment, While ultimately it would be necessary to purehase a town map, this Could mg be done at the moment because no prOvi- the estimates. Councillor Ball raised the matter when he told council that the map prepared by Engineer Burns Ross was available for $400, and could be brought up to date for an additional $50. Council approved plans to clear Main Street of traffic on the evening of Friday, May 24. A request was presented by Ray Anstett, on behalf of the Mer chants' Committee. A suggestion by Councillor MacLean that parallel parking be required on the east side of Main Street met with little sup- port. In raising the matter, he said while he had voted for it last year, he felt it was not working out. Feeling that higher dog fees might reduce the number of dogs, council instructed Clerk Hammond to bring in an amend- ed bylaw at the next meeting. Fees proposed are $6.00 for males, $12 for females. /ie will also check other towns to de- termine if any new means of controlling dogs has been found. Assist Clean-up Support for the Chamber of Commerce clean-up program was promised, as council in- structed Mayor Dinsmore to is- sue a proclamation, and agreed to provide trucks on May 21 and 22 to aid in picking up trash.
