When M r . Starkwasa young lad of 8 years he was out looking for his fathers cat t le about 95 years ago,, when he came upon the remains of an old stone house. The peaked roof was. held in place by wooden rafters. When the rafters rotted away the slab roof held itself for

awhile. M r . Jones was the name of the man who was ge t ­

t ing out rock or sandstone from near by and l ived in the house whi le working there. He was later k i l led in San Francisco. M r . Jones and his helpers made a grindstone w i th a square hole in the center. The

Coll ins Bros, have this stone now.

There was said to be a small w i n ­dow in one w a l l , If was made by cutt ing a hole in the center of a rock and then placing i t in the w a l l .

SOIL FERTILITY

There are no short cuts or routine methods by which soil fert i l i ty can be measured. There

are two main types of soi l . (1) Mineral Soils - com­posed chiefly of mineral materials v/ith comparatively small quantities of organic matter. Mineral soils vary from light sand to heavy clay. Be­tween these extremes are the loams of medium, sand or clay character.

take van oi amounts.

(2) Organic Soils - commonly known as muck or peat soils, here the or­ganic material dominates the prop­erties of the soi l .

To be fertile a mineral soil must contain an adequate amount of or­ganic matter which in an advanced stage of decay is known as soil hu­mus. Clay soils are high in potash but generally deficient in phosphates while sandy soils are relatively low in potash.

Muck soils are well supplied wit nitrogen because of their organic nature but low in phosphate, potash and other minerals.

There is probably no better source of organic mat­ter than we 11-decomposed barnyard manure; hov/ever, in localities where barnyard manure is not available the organic matter of the soil should be maintained by some system of green manure cropping, such legum­inous crops as clover, peas, soyabeans and fal l rye. Another very important factor is that no crop should be grown too frequently upon the same piece of land and some system of rotation should be followed. Crop rotation Is also important in maintaining soil fer t i l i ty .

WELL D O N E , DRIFTWOOD,; by Be? Hamilton I committee of one. So far i t has been fun working This may be a l i t t le bi t of a shock to the Editor, ] for Driftwood - especially when the Editor makes a

but I'm going to say something nice about h im. And | boo-boo in the Fulford news at t imes. Like saying I think i t 's t ime. I've been working for his news-*- there is B I N G O at the Beaver Point Bean Supper paper for two years now ~ a I most from the first issue | next Saturday, when there isn't ; and that Mhora and on March 24, 1960. Dpiyou remember the first j Duncan Hepburn are the "only brother and sister ac t " issue and the heading "A NEWSPAPER FOR SALT- jar U .B .C . What about Kathy and Charl ie Butt, also SPRINGS"? Two of the first .items were about the 'of Beaver Point? They are at the U . B . C , p i tching " A . E . Duke's Golden Wedding Anniversary at away since 1962 started. (Oh dear, how did that Vesuvius", and the "Fulford .Fire Truck Beats Ganges l i t t le bee sting get in my bouquet?) Truck to a f i re at St. Mary's Lake" . And in the So you see, we have;fun wr i t ing - most of the introductory ed i to r ia l , the editor sa id , and i quote, time anyway. It couldn't be otherwise w i th such "We hope for three things:'that you w i l l l ike wonderful people in the communities of Salt Spring DRIFTWOOD, that we improve w i th each success- S Island. And as for M r . Fisher, w e l l , I couldn't be

(wri t ing for a more considerate and sincere Editor. So congratulations to the DRIFTWOOD for a

Ifine two-year performance under d i f f i cu l t c i rcum-

ive issue, and that we can be of service to Salt Spring arid the Gul f Islands", end of quote.

"Wer i^or i ' t f ie^ f i rs i^"Wei l ike the Dri f twood" is what the people'^ay whenever we ask, so that takes -stances - may this third volume be seasoned wi th care of that J Arid on the second, there is a de f i n ­ite improvement in style and In the editorials and the ar t ic les. (Mr. P . G . James' "Garden Talk" i most helpful and a welcome addit ion to readers.) The ads are attract ive and wel l done. The Island news is as good as the community makes i t , and

good wishes and courage, and may i t 's "woody" j structure withstand a l l weathers in the future as 'staunchly as in the past. Wel l done, M r . Fisher.

; ' . . . . . j FULFORD NEWS. . . An impromptu dance party at ithe home of M r . and Mrs. R. Akerman was held on

reflects the moods and changes which vary w i th the \ Saturday night in honor of the celebrated singing and t imes. And Driftwood f i l l s a great service to many people. How else would everyone know what goes on?. It a l l comes out in Facts, Fables and Foibles, maybe not always r igh t , but- i t 's interest ing. And we a l l l ive and learn. Letters to the Editor - there's a-corner for you ! It takes a spunky paper l ike the Driftwood to stand up some of the letters that have fa l len on the desk l ike brickbats. But Woody Fisher has shown himself to be a good sport. He turns out a f ine l i t t le paper that is popular wherever i t reaches. So instead of a br ickbat , i'm handing the Editor a-bouquet .'-i just a small one, from a

recording art is t , Don Thompson of Seattle and Ho l l y ­wood. Don, who is currently the guest of Mrs. V . Grant of Beaver Point, was able to meet about 30 of the young people and had a good time at the partyo Hosting the affair were Miss Lynn Akerman and M r . Jimmy Hipplsley. The guest of honor e x ­pects to be on Salt Spring for a few more days be ­fore he returns to the U.S. In the meantime, he is making a lot of new friends and enjoying the hos­p i ta l i t y of the Island people. Don spent a few days in Victor ia last week (Cont 'd , to page 8)
