Own Auto industry Plan Of Australia

By LESLIE BRODIE Canadian Press Correspondent

SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 2O — (OP) - High price of United States and British automobiles in this country has given impetus to a drive to produce an‘ all-Australian automobile.

A number of companies are bus- ily re-tooling their war plants in an effort to get the first Austral- ian automobile on the streets but only two of them appear to be in

MacDonald , line to start production.

General Motors Holden's Ltd.,

I have almost finished re-tooling, and

four Adelaide (South Australia) brothers named Wiles announce they are putting into production a streamlined light model of the four- seater type.

' The Wiles brothers, who are en- tirely new to the motoring world, are hoping to put their model on the road for less than $960, con- siderably less than the British light automobiles (with Australian bod- ies) on the market here.

The General Motors Holden's automobile is expected to be in the $1,600 class. but is a heavier six- cylinder type. '

At the same time the government is offering all possible assistance to companies engaged in the indus- try.

Cost More To Run

Meanwhile, cost of running an automobile in Australia is consid- ered to be between $10 and $12 a clay, compared with about $3 to $5 before the war. Figures supplied by motoring organizations show the cost of buying and running a new automobile of average Unit- ed States size to be:

Price $1,950. plus sales tax of $243; registration $28; insurance $24.40; depreciation, $310 (estimat- ed to replace vehicle after seven years); gasoline $160 (8.000 miles); oil, maintenance etc, $80; tires, $32.

Total annual cost -$643.40, or about 8 cents a mile.

Fall Spading Is Good For Garden.Free From Erosion

.___.__.___.

Study of the serious damage to garden top soils caused by erosion has brought doubt about value of fail spading in many cases. Plots which are not level, where the new- ly turned soil might be washed away, or valuable elements leached out by heavy rains, may be more harmed than benefited.

Where this danger is not presents fall spading is beneﬁcial for heavy soil, and in cases where sod is turn- ed under ,or manure spaded in. When practiced, the surface should not be leveled or raked after spad- ing, but left in rough conditions

with small hills and hollows. Frost action will tend to break down and loosen heavy soils, and the uneven surface will check the runoff of water, and cause it to soak in. Fall speding will not al- ways take the place of spring spading, but it will lmake spring preparation much easier. 5 Where erosion is a problem, and the soil is heavy, stir it with .a wheel hoe a few inches deep and sow seed of rosen rye at the rate of 1 pound to 300 square feet. This will germinate in a few days and should make some growth tahis iali. It will survive the ‘ecintrr mini slant growing in the spring with the ﬁrst thaw. It can be turned under when the time comes and its green leaves will decay quickly and add substantial quanti-ties of both hu- mus and nitrogen to the soil. Gardens which are spuded this fall, can be sown to this cover crop; ‘ and this is a good practice whenl
