Many District Farmers Hear Address on Agri- culture. The speaker at the regular meet- ing of the Seaforth Lions CIub on Monday evening was 5, A. Stewart, an eminent farmer' of the Ailsa Craig district. Mr. Stewart said in his. remarks based on the wide eub- ject of agriculture, that agriculture itself is the basic element of the health of the country. "Soil is not dirt; it Is a produc- tive living soil. The richer soil, usually found' in forests, is of a crumbling texture, almost black in color, while that which has been robbed of its life, is hard and lumpy. Soil has changed in the last twenty years with many farm- ers taking everything out and put- ting nothing back. The biggest of- fender is the cash cropper," said Mr. Stewart. He urged farmers•to make their farms more efficient by increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil. This could be done by proper drainage, soil testing to know what and how much fertiliz- er is needed, and by proper use of machines. The meeting was the annual rur- al relations night, chairman being Gordon McGavin. The speaker was introduced by Gordon M. Bennett, agricultural representative, and thanked by R. S. McKercher. W. T.

Clare Reith was in the chair, and Fred D. Willis, secretary. J. Grant Webber, of the H,E.P.C., Frequency Standardization Divi- sion, was the guest speaker, tell- ing of some of the conversion prob- lems. "When a hydro consumer adds frequency -sensitive items to his home or place of business, it is most important that he contact t the local F.S.O. Office in Seaforth, as soon as possible, When resi- dents do not inform the office of new equipment—equipment which has been purchased since hydro's inventory—there is unnecessary in- convenience to the consumer. Since the necessary parts for conversion must be ordered by hydro from the manufacturer well in advance, such delays could thus be avoided. "The estimated time that fre- quency standardization for South- ern Ontario will take is 10 to 12 year's, To complete it on schedule, nine hundred motors must be changed every 'cut -over' day dur- ing that time. For instance, the washing machines involv,ed in the 25 -cycle 'island,' if placed side by side, would stretch from Port Hur- on, Michigan, to the City of. Osh- awa, in Eastern Ontario, Actual- ly, besides the more common un- its, such as washers, refrigerators, eta, there are some 340 different items which we've run into already, and some of those items' come in as many as 50 different models. Each of these models requires its own standardization procedure. Please be at home on 'C' Day." At the meeting on Tuesday night the colored picture, "C -Day" was shown, giving those in attendance an idea of what the tackground of this huge undertaking is, and what actually happens on cut -over day. "People who have had experience along this line in other parts of the continent, call this job the biggest piece of work in engineering and human relations ever attempted. We ask for your co-operation," concluded Mr. Webber- Seaforth Council To Revise Regulations On Parkin „Daylight Saving Time To Commence On Sunday, April 29.
