OBITUARY John MacNaughton On October 18th, in St. Josephs Hospital, London, following a week's. illness, there passed into the great Beyond a former highly esteemed cit- izen of this community in the person. of the late John IviacNaughton. Deceased who was in liis 79th year,. was born on the 2nd line, Turnberry on the farm where his son Stewart now resided: Twelve' years ago he retired and since that time made his home in London. Surviving are his wife, two daught- ers, Jeanette (Mrs. M. S. Arkenhead), Lillias (Mrs. A. B. Wearring) both of London and one son Stewart on the old home farm, Two sons James and Colin were killed in the Great War. A funeral service was held on Sun- day afternoon at his home in London, with Rev. Dr. James McKay of New St. James Church in charge. From, there the body was taken to the old home on the 2nd of Turnberry and the service held on Monday was in charge of a former pastor, Rev. West of Atwood, assisted by Rev. Mr. Grant of Wroxeter. Interment was made in Wroxeter Cemetery. Soil Drift Control While individual effort is usually' very effective in controlling soil drift- ing, and every farmer should adopt the best known control measures on his own farm, the most successful re- sults will undoubtedly follow the ad- option of community action. The im- portance of this community action will be readily understood from the fact that an area of unhindered, drift- ing soil usually expands very rapidly. Moving particles of soil are not al- ways brought to rest by collision with soil particles, and in many cases the latter are caused to join in a general movement under the influence of high winds. - The post carefully planned and ex- eouted control measures may be en- tirely ruined if the soil has to with- stand the combined action of wind and drifting soil from adjoining unprotect- ed areas. These facts show the ne- cessity for community action if a maximum degree of success in the control of soil drifting is to be oh- tained. While the control of drifting on any farm ispprintarily the concern. of the 'individual farmer, his success may be aided or hampered by the ac- tion of his immediate .neighbors.
