(photo by Frank Phillips) Tillage decision will be crucial decision "1 AM A STREET LIGHT" I am a street light. Here I stand day after day, year after year. Some people think I am a useless object just draining money from the taxpayers. Others don't even think of me at all. But there are a few who do realize how helpful I really am. They know what a great asset I am to the community. Why, I've even heard them call me the guardian of the night. The police department is responsible for cabling me that. Before I was installed on this corner, it used to be a haven for purse snatchers, rapists, juvenile delinquents, and other law-breakers. But now, with my light beaming all around, strangers don't lurk in the streets, and crime has been reduced almost to none at all. People MOW walk the streets without fear of being attacked or robbed. In addition to stopping crime on this corner, I have also reduced, accidents. So many times little children are run over by cars simply' because the drivers are unable to see them. There hasn't been a serious accident here for over a year, whereas before, they used to happen quite frequently. Besides reducing crime and accidents (if I may say so myself), I'm not bad to look at. Before I was big and ugly, and gave off a sort of yellowish, drab light. But now, since this new program to modernize our lighting system was started, I am long and slender, and my Light is a beautiful. blUeish color. Also I need much less attention than I used to, because I have a mercury light that lasts for about three years. Because of this, the cost of mainenance goes down, and with it, the taxes. I also have ait .'electric eye, so I go on as soon as it starts to get dark. Oh, there are so many good points about me if people would only stop to think about them a minute? I could'go on and on, but now it's morning and I have to shut off.

Milk producer Delmer Ben- nett of Foresters Falls, says the increase was needed to combat rising costs. "Labour, fertilizer, petroleum, hydro, grain, protein, and other production costs have not just climbed, but jumped, in recent months," says Bennett. "Industrial shippers have not had a significant increase since late in 1971, Without this in- crease, there can be no doubt that milk supplies would have been considerably less than market0,4requirements,",, insists Bennett. cultivating, and packing must follow in a sequence that con- serves soil moisture. Weather is the key to success in spring plowing of clay soils. Adequate rainfall after a March or early April plowing will produce good soil struc- ture. Low rainfall during this period causes cloddy soil that no amount of discing can break down. Excessive discing and cultivating robs the soil of moisture. Corn seed needs less soil moisture to germinate than does soybean seed, Corn can also be planted in a coarser seed bed. Because of the special conditions prevailing this spring, the depth ox plan- ting should be carefully checked, Early planted corn should be planted no deeper than two inches, while late planted corn should be planted deep enough to reach soil moisture. In March and April, plowing with the moldboard plow should, be at a depth of six,in- ches. A widebottom plow will bury crop residues and reduce volunteer corn in corn and soybean fields. A disc should be used for primary tillage as the season progresses. Where fall plowing has not been done, additional discing may be needed to incorporate. crop residues and prepare a good seed bed. Plowing with the widebottom moldboard plow is a more ef- fective way of handling crop residues than discing alone. When corn stalks are shredded or chopped and disced in, the trash cover may mat and form a layer that dries out the soil, While burning of crop residues is discouraged, farmers con- sidering this procedure should first contact the Air Management Branch, Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Time being at a premium this spring, plowing, discing, fer- tilizer spreading, planting, and spraying will be almost simultaneous operations. Because a 24-hour work day may be necessary in some cases, farmers would be wise to plan for eight-hour shifts. New beit8 A new passive restraint system developed by Britax Ltd. (England) and demon- strated in Detroit at an inter- national seminar, comprises a pad or cushion automatically retained in place against the chest of a car occupant, and a knee restraint. The Ontario Safety League says the restraint is held against the chest by a light spring pressure, so that oc- cupants are free to lean for- ward to reach door handles, etc. But in an accident the arm supporting the pad is locked in position and forward movement of the chest is con- trolled, force exerted on the pad being taken up by an energy absorbing device. A ladies team from Alberta and a men's team from Manitoba have become cham- pions at the Canadian Order of Foresters' Dominion Curling Finals held in Goderich last , Thursday, Friday and Satur- day.

Lang, soils and crops specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Last year's late corn and soybean harvest, which in many cases made fall plowing impossible, means that more care than usual must be exer- cised during spring tillage. Six basic factors should be considered when planning spring tillage: soil texture, weather, the crop to be grown, the equipment to be used, the presence of crop residues, and the availability of time and help. Coarse-textured sands and medium-textured silt and loam soils can be plowed in the spring without reducing the potential yields of corn and soybeans. 'Spring plowing of clay soils must be done early.
