Ontario farmers have come to realize that the growing of clovers in a crop rotation is a must if the productivity of the soil is to be maintained. Clovers and alfalfa are being used at the Dominion Experimental Sub- station at Woodslee, Ont., says 3. W. Aylesworth, in extensive studies on soil building on Brookston clay. Comneroial fertilizers alone have proved inefficient in boosting the yield of corn and soybeans. The surest way of increasing the yield of these crops and making efficient use of fertilizer is through the use of clover. Fertilizer should be applied to the clover at the time of seeding with the oats. The clover is , then plowed as green manure for corn or soybeans. Farmers who are having difficulty pl in growing clover would probably benefit greatly through the use of an a application of lime to the soil, Sweet clover has proved of great value in soil building. However, here difficulty is experienced in growing this crop, similar beneficial effects are obtained with the use of red clover or alfalfa, In the case of Haifa, best results have been ob- ained where the alfalfa is grown in n alfalfa-brone grass or alfalfa- rchard grass mixture, and where he crop has been left down for at .New Era For 4-- Fiensall Telephone Users Ushering in a new era for Hensall Bell Telephone users, a commo battery exchange was cut into se vice here last Wednesday afternoon It replaces the magneto 'exchang• that served the community for many years. No longer, is it necessary to turn a'cr•ank to summon the operator or to ring off after a call and local subscribers are already getting used to the new telephone instruments. lacking the familiar hand cranks. The old switchboard went dead at 2 o'clock and within two minutes winking lights on the new 'board showed the Hensall telephone sub- scribers were. already using the new system. The first outgoing long distance call to be connected through the new board was placed by Mr, W, G. Parke, Reason Councillor,. deputiz- ing for Reeve Alvin Kerslake, who officially opened the new service' when he talked to Reeve Nelson Reycraft of Glencoe. • Miss Katie Scott,:well known Bell Operator, inaugurated the local service and also passed on greetings to Mr. R. W. Emerson, Paris, chair- man of Tecumseh Council Telephone' Pioneers of America. A. number of guests were invited to the exchange to witness 'the 'actual transition from "Magneto" 'to "Com- mon Battery". After many months of preparation all 'was in readiness for the cutover. When the signal was given, connections with ' the old switchboard wore severed and plugs were removed from the new board. Almost at once the lights on the new board began to wink as the first calls were placed, ver wereOperators D. on duty MacEwen,for the cuchief operator, Miss Katie Scott, Miss Wil- ma Kyle, Miss Elaine Carlile, Mrs. P. Shaddick, Miss Eleanor Venner. The final phase of the conversion program has now commenced as in- stallers do the work of replacing the present magneto sets with the new telephone instruments lacking the hand crank, Mr. C. B. Symonds, the Bell Man- ager, has issued a warning to tele - hone users not to move the crank n the older type telephone during a onversation as this might result in call being disconnected.

Besides adding considerable amounts of organic matter to the soil, clovers are a relatively inexpensive source of readily available nitrogen.

HENSALL We appreciate the co-operation you have shown during the period of change -over from the "Magneto” to the new, greatly improved "Common Battery" system, HENSALL now has a completely modern telephone system. The introduction of this new system is part of our vast development program designed so that we may continue to provide more and more people with the best telephone service at the lowest possible cost.
