In that case they may t be carefully placed along the heel c of the turned furrow; they may bel placed next the landside or they may be dropped carelessly across the furrow sole. In the two former in- stances backadhes may result while even with care in placement the rows will not be straight unless the ploughing is straight. Crooked fur- ` rows impede subsequent cultivation and increase hoeing. On the Dominion Experimentali Sub-Stzi.tion at Beaverlodge, Alberta, . states W. D. Albright, Superintend- J ent, the practice is rst to prepare the land well then mark it out with a sled marker tracking three-foot rows. Three and a ialf might be better for some varieties. The side arms are then removed from the scuffler, which has two teeth left, a narrow one in front and a wider one right behind it. A team is then hitched to the scuffler and he oper- ator sights between the horses, pass- ing once or twice along each mark and bearing down heavily on the handles. A V-shaped furrow six or eight inches deep is thus opened but some dirt drops back so that the sets are actually placed about 3% or 4 inches deep, with a little loosened soil beneath each one. The sets may be -dropped in a s-traight line with-. out the operator bending his back. i longer than in the usual refrigerator.

Bertha Delahay Elliott, ex- l ecutrix for the estate of the late Frederick Baxter Elliott, has sold the premises, printing plant and sub- scription list of The Alliston Herald to Harry G. B. Falkner as of date May 1, 1939. The new proprietor : has been in the employ of the late F. B. Elliott since the year 1928, coming to Alliston after relinquish- ing the management of The Shel_ burne Free Press. He needs no in- troduction to most of the people of Alliston and district, but there : are many with whom he is not yet _ acquainted. He is a native of ;IWiltshire County, England, was edu_ '_ cated and began his printing career lin London, England, coming to Can- iada in 1908. His newspaper exper- L' ience started shortly after his ar_| ' rival, in the office of the old Westl Durham Review at Bowmanville. He` worked at Port Hope, Dundas, I-Iam_ ilton and Toronto before going to |S`he1burne in 1925. His overseas, 1n n l l 1 1 x -....e........e u.

While he is a Conservative he should not be expected to sup- port one political party over an- ` other. Changes may occur in the make_up and appearance of the paper. For the present, efforts Will abe bent on gathering all the news '|of the district for presentation to `_ subscribers and to this end the new 3]editor invites the co_operation of `nlfriends and correspondents.
