WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1930 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE \ THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE : Published on ColHngwood street, ' Flesherton, Wednesday of each ' week. Circulation over 1100, ' Price in Canada $2.00 per yer, ! when paid hi advance fl.60. In 1 U. S. A. $2.50 per year when paid in advance $2.00 (Members of Canadian Weekly News- paper Association) W. n. THURSTON, - - Editor F. J. THURSTON - Assoe. Editor EDITORIAL NOTES. The Ontario Government has an- nounced that it will manufacture a real brand of cider from an English formula at a big winery plant at Oak- ville. They state tht it will be rec- ognized as a temperance drink with only 4 or 6 per cent, alcoholic con- tent, but it is nronosed to sell it at the government liquor stores. Why should the public be obliged to pay for a license to buy it at the liquor stores? If it is to be a temperance drink why not give the Kale of it to hotels, restaurants, ami groceries? There are thousands of people in this country who would con- sider it a disgrace to be seen enter- ing a government liquor store. If it is not to be a temperance drink then the government will put itself in the position of a liquor manufncturer as Well as dispenser. * It is expected, that the new Liberal leader, Mitchell F. Hepburn, will go far in the leadership of the Liberal party in Ontario nd brimr it new light and vision to restore it to the prominence it occupied twenty years ago. Although the new leader is only 34 years of asre he is of a dyn- amic personality and is highly regard- ed for his ability, and his progress will be watched with interest. At present he is a member of the House of Commons for West Elgin and will remain as such until the eve of the next Provincial election. W. E. N. Sinclair, who has led the party in two campaigns, will remain as House lead- er in the Legislature. Much has been written from time to time on the subject of corporal punishment in the schools, many writers suggesting that it be abolish- ed altogether and the strap relegated to Rome museum, where it could be re- garded as a relic of torture, used in a time when people were deficient in common sense. But our humble op- inion is that the strap should still be used, of course with limitations, be- cause it is one of the most effective persuasive measures that could be ad- opted. Most taachers at the present time use th" strap n a last resort, but with telling effect, and most of those who felt its application are the one" who need it most. Taking Pay In Wheat Pioneer days are recalled by condi- tions now existing on thc Prairies. Field Staff of the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture report that hnv- ing no money with which to purchase flour, farmer!! are hauling as far as 75 miles to the country mill. Milh are finding it difficult to cope with demands. About ninety oer cent, of the flour milled is put through on a gristing basis of around twenty-five cents per bushel, which is usually paid with wheat. The farmer is pay- ing his store bills with the flour and taking the bran and shorts home to feed. In many cses small farmers are helping their more prosperous neighbors and taking their pay in wheat. CARD OF THANKS To our friends and neighbors, we wish to express our sincere thanks for all the kindness shown during our recent trouble in the death at our home of the late Alfred Hawks, and especially to the young people of Fe- ve-sham, for their floral offerings.

The glimpse one gets of the new Premier going along the country road soil. The average labor cost of drains installed entirely by hand was "1.91 per rod as compared with G9 cents per rod where ditching mach-' inery was used. For all drains con- ' sidered, the average cost was 89 cents per rod for labor, and 64 cents' per rod foj; tile, a total average cost oi' $1.53 per rod. This cost is rath- j er high, due to the prevalence of large boulders in the subsoil. Under' favorable conditions, where full use is made of ditching machinery, the cost^ need not exceed 28 cents per rod for' installation and 64 cents for tile or a total of 92 cents per rod. The cost per acre of tile drains depends on the spacing between later-' rls. At 90 cents per rod the cost per acre will range from about $16,' where laterals are 150 feet apart, to about $48 where laterals are 50 feet apart. Digging was the largest feingle item in the labor cost at Ottawa, amounting to 77 per cent, of the total labor cost of drains installed by hand, and to 40 per cent, where the traction ditcher was used. In drains dug by hand the cost of digging was found to increase with the depth. Thus the cost of digging a drain four feet deep was 95 cents per rod. as comoared with 26 cents per rod for a drain two feet deep, an increase of over 260 per cent. In land free from stones the cost per rod of machine digging did not vary mater- ially with the depths dow n to four ieet, but where boulders were prev- alent the cost of digging was more than directly proportional to the depth. Backfilling with a road grader was found to be the most economical of the methods tried, costing not more than C cents per rod, as ccompared with .25 cents per rod for filling by hand. 0" wet clay land, where f'.j grader could not be used - ''mr' ; ng in the excavated soil with a ?.' plow proved satisfactory. Th -se of a slush scraper for backfillir. was not more economical than hand filling.
