Margetts, Inc., consulting engineers, of Salt Lake City, demonstrated their Trail Form ditch l'ner. The machine, pictured above,, made by the Margetts company, replaces re-places a lot of hard work by previous pre-vious methods of concrete ditch lining. According to Mr. Bunker, the nachine is built and designed to start from the desired grade, make the ditch, form it to the desired size, and lay the concrete in the , ditch consistently within M inch of the desired thickness of concrete. One of the beauties of the machine is that it is controlled hydraulically by a man sitting on the machine to keep it to grade and level. A machine of this size, which will make a number of sizes of ditches, would normally require one or two large caterpillar type tractors trac-tors to pull it. Eut with the use of a winch, a tractor of the size of a Farmall "C" will pull this machine with ease and consistently. Mr. Bunker and Mr. Ashby made arrangements with the Margetts Co. to purchase this machine, and they will have it in Delta the first of February, and as soon as possible poss-ible they each plan to do at least 'x mile of their wn farm ditch.
