Seed Drills Should
ave Regular
Indicator Checks
The indicators on many seed
'drill can't be depended on after
a few year's use. It .makes good
sense then to play Safe and field
calibrate your seeding equipment
this spring,
Grain seeding rates can be
'checked in the field by filling the
seed box level full and then seed-
ing for a measured -off distance. If
the. you know twidth of your drill,
e
distancehtravelled, the amount
of seed and the area covered --you
can figure out the seeding rate
with this formula:
Miles travelled x width in inch-
es divided by 100 equals acres
seeded.
Bushels of seed used divided by
acres seeded equals rate per acre.
For the greatest accuracy cali-
brate each feed run individually by
tying a bag around each spout.
Then operate the given distance.
With forage seeds, start with a
setting of one bushel on the wheat
scale then try the drill out on a
hard surface. Count the number
of seeds that drop per foot of row
and adjust the setting to seed 30 to
35 seeds per foot of row for 6 to 7
inch row spacings. For large seed-
ed crops like bromegrass open the
drill slightly more.

So. Huron School
Asking Permission
For Addition
South Huron District High
School Board decided Tuesday
night to seek permission to add
a shop, cafeteria and kitchen and
three classrooms to the school.
The request will be forwarded to
the Ontario department of educa-
tion for its approval. This is the
first step in negotiations leading
to the addition which must be er-
ected by September 1960 to meet
enrolment demands.
Under the board's plan, the pres-
ent kitchen and cafeteria will be
converted into two classrooms;
the roof on the agriculture room
on the south-east corner will be
reinforced to support another
classroom above it and two class-
rooms will be built, one on top of
the other, to the east of that.
These facilities ,if approved, will
provide for modified technical
training. Two years of technical
courses will be provided here, and
an affiliation established to pro-
vide a further two years at anoth-
er school nearby, probably London.
A four-year course in business
practise will also be established.
Board chairman H. L. Snider
said additional grants are pro-
vided by the department for a
modified technical training sys-
tem which, it is felt, is economical
to establish with an enrolment of
800. SHDHS will reach that fig-
ure within a few years.
Principal H .L. Sturgis said he
felt the technical training would
interest a number of grade nine
and 10 boys in the district who
were not interested in pursuing
academic training.

Talking Books to blind readers, 17
in Huron County. The books are
unabridged recorded editions of
best sellers, How -to -do -its, history
and every type of book that is
published in North America. Car-
ried without charge by the Post
Office, two and a half tons of
these books leave the CNIB's cen-
tral library in Toronto each morn-
ing.
In 1934 engineers in Britain and
also United States produced a long
playing disc that was highly satis-
factory but a far cry from the
Hi-Fi products we know today.
The Talking Book, playing for 15
minutes a side, was offered to
blind readers many years before
it was produced commercially for
music and general use.
The first Talking Books to reach
the CNIB library were John Mase -
field's "Birds at Dawning" on 11
records, James Hilton's "Lost Hor-
izan," 12 records and "Goodbye Mr.
Chips", 3 records. Both sides of
the records were used,
In some cases authors read all
or part of the books. Harry Tru-
man, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alexan-
der Woolcott, Thomas Mann, Clif-
ton Fadiman, Edna Ferber and
Somerset Maughan are among
those to do this service for the
blind.
The average book requires 12
hours reading time by authors or
professional readers. The reading
is done on tape and then trans-
ferred to the disc. The Bible re-
quires 170 double discs—War and
Peace 119.
CNIB provides Talking Books
as a national service free of char-
ge to blind readers, and purchase
them from British and American
sources, No aid or appliance a-
vailable to the blind has been as
good a friend as these Talking
Books. Talking Books are record-
ed solely for the use of the blind.
