members intend to
a model field.
The field circles
between the farm house and the
concession road. Right now ten
der young stalks of corn are
growing on the oval.
Purpose of the contour farm
ing is to prevent water washing
away valuable topsoil. Instead of
plowing it up and down the
slopes, the field is worked per
pendicular to the slopes, thus
stopping the water from running
down the furrows. As Mr. Strang
puts it: “This way, the water
walks, not runs, down hill”.
Grassed Waterway
In the middle of the field is
one strip of grass which has not
been removed. This is called a
“grassed waterway”.
Grassed waterways reduce soil
erosion on sloping land. Excess
surface water frequently cuts into
the soil leaving small gullies. If
water follows the same course
each year, gullies may be pre
vented by planting a
land in grass. When
built and maintained
becomes a permanent
as well as a source of hay.
Grassed waterways are needed
on many farm fields where
water* tends to burrow gulleys
as it runs and removes topsoil.

This is the first year that the

has sponsored these demonstra

its most enthusiastic members.
He is a past president of the
Huron Association and a direc

At their last meeting council
considered annexing part of the
township but they decided
against it Monday night. Main
reason was the extra co^t which
council felt would be incurred
by annexing the land. Council
estimated more than $25,000 of
work would have to be done on
sidewalks, sewers and water
mains.
Process of the change will
take more than three months.
Before the Municipal Board will
give the final order to incorpor
ate the town, notice must appear
in local and provincial papers
for a period of three months.
The chcange will .affect one
voting ward in the village.
North Ward, number 4, will be
combined with Ward 3.
Population of the village, ac
cording to the latest count, is
over 2,400, well over the 2,000
required for a town. With the
change Exeter will be in the
same category as Seaforth, Wing
ham, Goderich and Clinton.
There will be an increase of
three on the council with mayor,
reeve, deputy-reeve, and six-
councillors.
Payments Raised
Wartime housing rentals will
increase next September as coun
cil approved a by-law to raise
the amount paid to the muni
cipality in lieu of taxes from
$24 to $51 and from §30 to $63
on houses having more than two
bedrooms. Council felt that pre
vious payments were not in line
I with general taxpayers and raised
the rate with the permission of
Central Mortgage and Housing
Corporation.
Flowers will be planted in
the bed at the town hall. Coun
cil authorized Bailey Florists to
place $8 worth of plants to
beautify the premises.
Mr. A. J. Traquair and Mr.
Reg Beavers waited on council
asking information in regard to
transient traders licences.
Council authorized a by-law to
obtain temporary advances to
meet the cost of the construction
of a public school addition pend
ing the issue and sale of de
bentures.
Applications for building per
mits were granted as follows:
William Hunter, house; A. J.
Bierling, renovating house; G.
A. Cockwill, house. The applica
tions of Russell Hedden and
Lewis A. Brown were held for
further investigation.
Council renewed their general
accident liability policy from
Herman Hodgson for the sum of
$506.70.
