Times-Advocate, 1981-11-18, Page 13Discuss drainage laws,
I receive many questions
relating to Drainage Law. 1
try to answer these to the
best of my ability using the
various resources I have at
my disposal. Of the many
questions I have been asked,
two which recur most often
are - If I drain my farm,
what do I have to do with my
outlet water? Also, What can
I do about surface water run-
ning onto my farm from my
neighbour?
The following quote from
Judge Clunis, former
Provincial Drainage
Referee, should answer both
of these questions. "Surface
or percolating water, that is,
water not flowing in a defin-
ed watercourse has no right
of drainage. While a lower
owner cannot secure the
assistance of the courts in
protecting his lands from the
flow of water he may dam
the water back on the high
lands and actually cause
damage. The owner of the
high land has no right to
damages or other relief. He
Stacey tops
butter again
Stacey Brothers Limited
of Mitchell has won the
championship for butter at
the Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair again this year.
Stacey butter was awarded
98.60 points out of a possible
100 to capture the top award.
The win at this year's
Royal was in the class for
"Unsalted Butter Prints".
Stacey Butter also headed
the list in the "Salted Print"
category, as well as the
"Cultured Print" category.
Stacey has now won three
consecutive Royal Cham-
pionsips, as well as the last
three out of four C.N.E.
Championships.
Butter department super-
visor Karl Graf and his
capable staff of butter -
makers were responsible for
producing the winning
butter.

must accept the flooding.
Changes come about if ar-
tificial works are con-
structed. If the 'water
collected by any means is
discharged upon the lands of
another, the injured person
may select any one of three
alternative remedies to
protect his rights. He may
apply to the courts for an in-
junction before a drop of
water has ever reached his
land. He may build whatever
is necessary upon his land to
block the discharges or to
block the flow from entering
it.
Or thirdly, when he
sustains damages, he may
claim and will be allowed
damages to whatever extent
he is able to prove." All sur-
face water collected must be
taken to a sufficient outlet,
such as a stream, private
dram, or municipal drain.

Give quilts a beautiful new
finish
Many people are involved
in our current quilt course
and many just want to main-
tain the quilts they already
have. Here are some tips
from Good Housekeeping
Needlecraft Fall/Winter
77/78.
If you have a charming old
quilt. you may want to try to
restore it. Consider, first, if
it has great value -either
historic or sentimental. If it
does. it really should be

handled by an expert. Also,
if it is so fragile that it might
not withstand even the most
careful handling, it might be
best only to preserve and
protect its faded beauty
from further deterioration
without cleaning it first.
But if it falls into neither
of these categories, here are
some ways to restore it safe-
ly, using methods adapted
from more sophisticated
techniques devloped by ex-
perts at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York
City. Some general advice:

Be prepared to devote time,
patience, and attention to
your project. Keep an area
clear to work in; between
sessions, cover the quilt with
tissue paper or place it in a
roomy drawer or box.
Always wash your hands
before you start to work.

Farmers Union.
Here's Ron Jones, a
gentleman if there ever was

Agriculture. giving fair war-
ning that farmers are going
to get militant.
They must get ready to
negotiate on the front steps
at Queen's Park of Parlia-
ment Hill if senior
governments continue to ig-
nore the plight of
agriculture. Will those
negotiations be carried out
from the back of a manure
spreader just to emphasize a
few points. Ron?
No doubt about it.
Agriculture is in a worse
state now than at any time

since the Great Depression.
Farmers are feeling the
pinch from everybody's
fingers. The cost of energy is
skyrocketing and that also
means fertilizer prices are
zooming because much of it
comes from petroleum-
based products or natural
gas.
Interest rates are not com-
ing down and land costs re-
main high.
Now comes this big battle
of the supermarkets.
Critics are asking
questions about this price
war. Is it going to be fought
on the backs of farmers?
Jim McGuigan of Kent -Elgin
riding wants to be assured
that it isn't the farmers
whose blood is spilled
because those farmers are
already anemic from battl-
ing bad weather and high in-
terest rates.
The supermarket chains,
sparked by Miracle Food
Marts. started the price was
and the rest of the chains are
right in the thick of the fray.
Dominion Stores. Loblaws
and Canada Safeway are in
there pitching.
The pressure to reduce
costs will be passed on to
suppliers and the domino
effect may end. well, at the
end which is right at the
farm gate.
Farmers who do not have
supply management
systems have to take
whatever the market will
give them. They'll be paid
whatever the processors
think the market dictates.
The processors will receive
what the retailers think the
market dictates. The fact is,
it's the retailers who set the
price. according to Jack
Riddell. MLA for Huron -
Middlesex.
In the end. it could- be the
primary producer who takes
the brunt of it.
Right now. the federation
is waiting for a study group's
report. The group is holding
public hearings around the
province.
If the federation decides to
get militant. the fit could hit
the shan. Membership is
well past the 22,000 mark. A
march on Toronto or Ottawa
could involve 10.000 people,
said Jones.
That's a big crowd to
swarm over the steps at
Queen's Park. especially if
they brought along a few
tractors and few loaded
manure spreaders. Eugene
Whelan got clobbered with a
pail of milk not too long ago.
1 wonder what the
politicians at Queen's Park
would look like with a load of
manure flying in their
faces?
Jones told a group of
farmers at the Lambton
County federation's annual
meeting that if the federa-
tion is unsuccessful in its
lobbying efforts. the result
will be a "shocking
breakdown in the economic
and social fabric of the rural
communi ty."
Hang in there, Ron. I
believe you. Thousands don't
but I do. old friend.

laundering of old quilts
a tinted (but clean) quilt or
an unfaded but dirty one.
The end result of washing
and slight fading can
sometimes by very striking.
You might even think of it
as part of the design.
Bleeding madras is a good
example. Your grand-
mother's quilts are likely to
run because the material
they were made from was
home dyed. But if your deci-
sion is against washing,
simply clean the quilt with a
hand vacuum cleaner on
both sides; air outdoors.
2. If the filler is showing
through or if the edges are
frayed, it is advisable to
repair the quilt before
laundering. An old, fragile
quilt can be cleaned in a
bathtub by laying it in with a
few folds as possible. Let
lukewarm water flow into
the tub, but not directly on
the quilt.
A mild soaking solution
may be used before washing.
The point to remember is
not to lift the quilt or place
undue strain on the old
stitches, but to use only a
gently patting action. Drain
water at each stage, but do
not remove the quilt from
the tub.
A number of rinsings are
necessary to remove im-
purities. Press against the
tub to squeeze out water.
Blot with towels. Lay out on
beach towels or mattress
pads. or dry in a shady
place. After the top is par-
tially dry, turn the quilt over
onto dry towels to hasten
drying process. It is not an
easy task, but one worth do-
ing to prolong the life of your
quilts.
If a quilt is badly stained,
laundering may only make
stains more obvious against
the clean area. In most
cases, old stains cannot be
identified, and methods for
removal would be difficult to
determine. Thus, it may be
better just to remove loose
soil.
LAUNDERING A QUILT
1. Place quilt between two
sheets of nylon net.
2. Seam lengths of nylon
net together to make two
pieces the size of quilt.
3. Place the quilt between
them and baste together.
This method serves as a
strengthening device to ease
the strain on the fabric.
4. For modern quilts only:
When washing by
machine, use water at a
moderate temperature -
preferably soft water and
mild detergent, for safety. If
washer will not accom-
modate the weight of the wet
quilt. use heavy-duty
machine at neighbourhood
laundromat.
Drying can be done one of
two ways:
Outdoors. in the shade,
hanging from two parallel
lines to better distribute the
quilt's weight.
Or. drying your quilt on
the air -only cycle of a
clother dryer.
