Provincial Constable Eliuer Snell investigat- Contour Farming Demonstated In Hurondale Field What used to be just a hilly pasture field on the farm of H. H. G. Strang, ing developed ing land. It’s demonstration by the Huron Association. The demonstration is the first of its .kind in Huron. It’s a long-term 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.

Simi­ larly, there are eight different varieties of oats being tested. This is the first year that the Crop Improvement Association has sponsored these demonstra­ tions in the interest of local farmers. Mr. Strang is one of its most enthusiastic members. He is a past president of the Huron Association and a direc­ tor of the Ontario Association. 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. ! County To Repair Kirkton, Hensall Roads Proposed work on Huron County roads during 1950 in­ cludes construction on three dis­ trict roads. County Engineer Roy Patter­ son anticipates $20,000 will be spent on the road from Kirkton west. Some $15,000 worth of repairs will be done on the county road east of Hensall and $12,000 spent on the Goshen Line north of Zurich. Former Hensall Pastor Rev. J. E. J.
