If clay soils| are worked when wet, they become compacted and the pore space available for air and water is| reduced to a point where crops are unable' to make economical growth. Legume and grass crops produce a stable soil structure which enables the Soil to withstand more tillage operations before the physical condition again reaches a critical level. Some effects of tractor compac- tion on a clay soil have been studied by E. F. Bolton on the Experimental Substation, Woods- lee. A standard farm tractor with a rear wheel weight of 2,000 pounds was used to compact a clay soil under different cropping systems. These cropping systems included an alfalfa sod, a bluegrass sod, and an area that had been cropped to corn for many years. When the test was carried out during dry weather, there were no great differences in pore space out under excessive moisture condi- tions, marked differences resulted. Compaction of wet soil reduced the air pore space by 20 percent on bluegrass sod while compaction of wet corn soil reduced the air pore | space by 31 per cent. The effect of compaction treat- | ments on water movement through these soils was even more impres- sive. Compaction of wet bluegrass sod reduced the volume of water moving through the surface six inches from 39.9 to 12.9 inches per hour while compaction of wet corn soil reduced the volume of water from 2.4 to 0.7 igches per hour. Measurements for alfalfa sod show- ed a' great deal of variation as a result of root distribution but gave values almost in line with blue- grass sod. The results emphasize the importance of legumes and grasses in .a row crop rotation to maintain the soil in a favourable physical condition for economical production. It also emphasizes the importance of keeping tractors and other heavy implements off clay soils when they are too wet.

Well, don't get too heated up about it, Cool relief is no further away than the nearest tap. It's a fact. With all the gimmicks that civilized man has thought up to keep himself cool on these siz- zling summer days, he's never found out one to equal, let alone better, ordinary, 'good old" cold water. Drink it by the glass, let it course its way over your scorch- ed body in a shower, or merely hold your wrists under the cold tap for a few minutes, and you'll find that this, the oldest cooling element in the world, is still the best. And what's more, the supply is practically unlimited. It's amazing to think that, no matter how hot the weather gets up here, just a few feet underground there's plenty of cool, cool water that maintains a constant temperature winter and summer alike. The trick is, of course, to get the water from those few feet underground and bring it to where it will do the most good. And in that lies the fabulous story of modern plumbing, the . miracle that has brought this cool, cleans- ing element, fresh as from a moun- Gosh, It's Hot, Let's Cool off with Water tain spring, into homes by the million, giving service as constant and reliable almost as the rising sun. What a cool comfort it is on these hot mid-summer days and particularly to those people who are equipped to take full advant- age of it! Yes, this supply of wat- er, if properly used, can make life pleasanter in a dozen and one ways in this sultry season. Running water is so much of a commonplace in modern life that anybody can have a drink or a cool bath whenever the mood takes them. But think how much more the man is getting who has built himself a shower room in the base- ment, just inside the door from the garden. Here is coolness and refreshment right at hand when he's finished his set of tennis or the weekly chore of mowing the lawn. And shower rooms are no longer out- of-this-world, luxury items they once were. Modern shower cabin- ets, pre-fabricated and easy to put together, have made the installa- tion of a shower room in any home relatively easy and inexpensive.

Summertime is salad time, and the preparation of cooling, healthful salads is so much easier with the help of a combination sink and tub, a swivel tap and articularly the newest addition to itchen convenience, the retract- able hand-spray, ideally suited for cleansing lettuces and other salad ingredients. In the bathroom, the greatest aid to keeping cool is, of course, the shower. And no bathroom without one in this day and age. If the tub is not already fitted with a shower, it can now equipped with any one of a variety of exposed shower fittings at low cost, easy to instail and attractive in appearance. Recent advances in the design of shower heads make the shower bath both a cooling and invigorat- ing = experience. New adjustable shower heads give a choice rang- ing from a soft, misty spray to an energizing, needle-sharp shower that makes you feel like going out and starting that game all over again, torrid temperatures notwith- standing. > Originally designed for shampoo- ing, the hand-shower fitting for the bathroom lavatory can also be a boon in hot weather.

Among the strangest occurrences known to ornithologists, the National Geo- graphic Society says, is the fact that most birds at one definite and early stage in their lives accept as their own kind the first living thing* to make certain impressions upon them. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Imprinting was first described by the Austrian naturalist, Konrad, Lorenz. Studying bird behavior, Lorenz realized that most birds do not recognize their own species by instinct, but rather by some defin- ite early contact. : A newly hatched wild goose, for example, looks upward when it first sees the light of day. Any- thing that moves and then draws away in 'a certain manner will imprint the gosling, be it bird, beast, or humankind. Greylag gos- lings, the common wild geese of Europe, were imprinted by Lorenz and thereafter regarded all humans as proper objects for matrimony. With mallard ducklings, Lorenz quacked vigorously in his best mallardese and found that the sound rather than sight caused imprinting to occur. In the book "King Solomon's Ring," Lorenz describes himself waddling in his garden quacking at the top of his voice, followed by a line of trusting ducklings which unfortunately were invisible to a crowd of astonished tourists peering over the fence. Birds raised by a human: keeper in strict isolation from their own kind refuse thereafter to react to fellow-members of the species. Im- printin is apparently irreversible; from the brief moment of imprint- ing on, the bird behaves exactly as if its reactions were instinctive. MOTHERS WITH MOTORS In the wild, of course, the first creatures that a bird sees from its nest are its own parents, unless they are frightened away. In that case, peculiar things happen some- times. There are records of geese thinking themselves to be boats, a garage or outdoor living number of months. 84 Simcoe St. S. HOME IMPROVEMENTS ARE EASY TO DO!
