Crop Rotation
Vital Necessity
In the -early years of sugar
beet growing on the North
American continent (1890-1905)
the imortance of kroner crop ro
tation was not thoroughly under
stood. One of the mistakes made
Was growing sugar beets year
after year on the same field. The
■reason for this was that, since beets and weeds do not thrive
together; a farmer once haying
cleaned opt the weeds, was
tempted to replant beets the fol
lowing years to avoid too much
hoeing.
During the last* half-century
the vital need of good crop rota
tion has come to be understood,
certainly by all our good farmers
Of Southwestern Ontario. True,
some of them act againBt their
own better judgment by repeat
ing the same crop too often in
too large acreages for the size
Of their farm. This is brought
about, usually, by high spring
prices of a certain crop which
the farmer fondly hopes will
still hold good at harvest time.
Unfortunately, too many other
farmers make the same mistake
and so, at fall harvest time there
is a lot of disappointment as the
market for the particular crop is
glutted.
This is one condition that does
not apply to the sugar beet crop.
It’s a rare thing for a farmer to
plant too many beets for the size
of his farm and thus upset his
rotation program. On the con
trary, many farmers who could’
improve their whole farm econo
my by growing sugar beets con
sistently each year, are "in and
outers” on this particular crop.
They will often pass up sugar
beets and "plunge” on some
other one crop when the fever
is on — usually caused by high
spring prices. They would do
better to follow the wise counsel
of the most successful farmers
who follow a sound rotation pro
gram, including sugar beets, year
after year and. let the other
fellow do the “plunging”.
FIRST BIRTHDAY — The Exeter branch of the Bank of
Nova Scotia celebrates its first anniversary in the town this
week. The building hap been completely remodelled since the
business opened.
Bank Completely Renovated
During First Years Operation
April 7' marks the first anni
versary of The Bank of Nova
Scotia’s Exeter branch. During
this first year, while the branch
was being established under Mr.
H. W. Kelson, the premises have
undergone a transformation.
While business was being trans
acted in one part of the building
at 622 Main St., the other part
was being remodelled. Only re
cently tliis process was complet
ed and the result is a fine mo
dern banking building.
The glass and vitrolite front
presents an attractive appearance
from the street. Inside, in keep
ing with the modern trend of
batik design, the banking room
is bright and cheerful. This is a
result of the pastel color decora
tion and the combination of
large window areas and fluores
cent lighting. A “straightline”
counter has been installed. This
modern fixture eliminates the old
unsightly cages and speeds up
serivce for the customer by pro
viding each teller with complete
equipment, eliminating delay
when tellers change over. Modern
vaults are provided.
