re port revised equalized assess ments showing the assessment on which each municipality in the county is expected to contribute to county expenditures will be deter mined by the figures set almost every municipality will be expected to pay more for coun ty purposes despite the fact that millions of new structures are be ing assessed for the first time one would think chat this new taxa tion wotdd be sufficient to keep abreast of expenditures but such is not the same the new equalized assessment figures are in the hands of the local councils and they tell a com plicated story few councillors understand what it is all about assessments are like that and when you employ expert mathe matics to employ what they call an equalizing factor to bring all 2g assessments to one level the thing become difficult for the average man in any event we hear that some of the villages have received a sharp upward swing in county equalization figures while at least one big growing township gets a lower assessment if this is true it will take some explaining when the county council sits on the issue on june loth trapped in truck cab drenched with gas for the operation is just west of i the

show 7 pm traffic it is obviously impossible to hold such a day without previous pre paration for that reason a meet ing one of a series was held at the home of mr down there the experts both academically and practically trained gathered to cope with their problems one of the major difficulties arose when trying to decide just how much preliminary work could and should be done on the land on one hand it was not feasible to conform to good farming practice and prepare the land and put in a crop in one day on the other hand in order to make an impact on the specta tors and carry the continuity of the example through to the fullest ex tent all that was possible should be done in the day for example it would be possi ble to plough the ground disc and harrow it and work it until a good seed bed was obtained however because of moisture and tempera ture conditions it mightnotbe wise to carry the demonstration through to its logical conclusion and seed the grain problems such as these were mulled over by the panel of experts which included prof g e down ing earl kitching g scott and a g webb of the agricultural en gineering dept ontario agricul tural college and prof frank mor- wick head of the soils dept of the same institution and russell bruce jack ketchison and gordon baker also of the soils dept present from the crops branch of the ontario dept of agriculture were kenneth fallis and walter reynolds in the afternoon most of the pro fessors along with a number of local farmers made a tour of the property they investigated it thoroughly assaying its ixssibilities and watching for defects which would have to be remedied when rain j a garner director of ex tension and a ii martin director of the crops seeds and weeds branch from the ontario dept of agriculture were present for the field survey in the afternoon but they did not remain for the even ing conference when the after noons finding were synthesized two large plans have been pre pared showing the farm as it is at present laid out in neat geometric squares and as it will be in 1950 after the proposed crops are up the squares have gone and in their places are long strip crops curved to follow the contour of the land retention of moisture in some places and proper drainage in oth ers is only one of the advantages of this type of scientific farming long advocated by the dept of agriculture a feature of thedays operation will be the removafof a longstand ing fence row to do a job of this kind in one day will require hercu lean efforts and prof scott who will be in charge of the work stated that he will require about 20 trac tors and 50 men the ploughing will require about 30 tractors so there will be a minimum of 30 on the property that afternoon in addition there will be ditching machinery and terracing equip ment there will be newtype roto tillers and power diggers dump- middleton clan to reunite at orillia at a meeting of the middleton group of whioh so many families are

wednesday afternoon when his heavily loaded truck skidded oft the road and crashed into a tele phone pole on the 10th of whit- ehuch just north of stouffville he was pinned in the cab of the over turned vehicle for nearly half an hour but escaped with a few scrat ches on his hands and bruises the cab of the vehicle owned by weld ing gases and supply bond street east oshawa was a total wreck when the truck which was load ed with a large number of acety lene gas tanks left the road it crossed the ditch and struck the pole snapping it off the impact smashed the cab roof down to the level of the seat but fortunately fox was thrown to the floor the gas cylinders were tossed into a field some distance away the crushing of the cab pinned fox in the narrow space between the seat and the dash where he was drenched with gasoline drip ping from the gasoline tank for tunately the inflammable fluid did not take fire farmers working in a nearby field heard the crash and rushed to the scene but were unable to re lease fox a hydro repair crew passing soon afterwards were also unsuccessful in their rescue efforts and a call was put in to a garage at stouffville which sent out a tow truck which eventually resulted in the cab being nried apart suffici ently to release the trapped man smalli fry lands a mu one ever saw a man praised for plough ing a crooked furrow it is ex pected that about 18 acres will be ploughed in the one day although that number will be reduced if the ploughing for fall wheat is done earlier part of the program is contained in the projects landscaping of homestead and painting barn no information was available last night about the first as the man in charge was detained at the col lege at guelph however he sent word that he had plans well under way in order to paint the barn in one day four spray rigs will be put into operation because it is not only cheaper but also more durable and longer lasting red paint will be used one piece of very rough pasture was the subject of some lengthy discussion the question was whe- trucks and bulldozers mostof il was better t0 reforest it or this equipment will be contributed s possibly 100 on the seven pasture on the
