. . Seed time and harvest
shall not fail!
Remember the unseasonably
cold spring we had? HoW slow
the early sown grain was in
making its.. appearance above
the ground?
When it did get going there
was the extremely long dry
spell for most of the area and
we wondered about the har-
vest.
Suddenly it is here and again
we have excellent crops. How
quickly prospects can change!
In many cases the hay crop
was disappointing but the re-
cent rains have made a second
cutting well worth while and
pastures have come back to life
nicely.
Now we seem to be facing
new problems or perhaps I
should say a repetition of old
ones.
What is a bumper crop across
Canada going to mean to the
farmer?.
In a recent issue of the Win-
nipeg Free Press, I noticed a
forecast of 702 million bushels
of wheat-an all time record.
This is almost double the crop
of two or three years ago.
Will this mean full cupboards
and freedom from hunger or
will it mean depressed prices,
quota deliveries and wailing
over surpluses as in the past?
A short time ago I noticed
that the price quoted for On-
tario wheat by one of our local
mills was $1.80 per bushel. Less
than a week later it had drop-
ped to $1.67 or we might say
to the floor.
Why? Did the demand for
pastries suddenly drop? Has
there been a corresponding drop
in the price of cakes and pies.
Or is it simply a repetition of
past history?
When the producer has pro-
ducts to sell the price is low
and somehow when the product
rests in other hands the price
suddenly increases.
At seeding time farmers are

vitally concerned in doing all
things necessary to produce an
abundant crop. Surely the hap-
penings at harvest time should
stimulate these producers to do
all things possible to dispose of
their product as advantageously
as possible.
This necessity must be even
more forcibly brought home to
them as they purchase repairs
for their combines or other
machines as they prepare for
the harvest.
New machines are expensive
but when buying a new mach-
ine the purchaser can do some
dickering and there seems to
be real competition in the farm
machinery business but when
you need a repair part you pay
the price and hope that some-
how you can make it pay.
Here again the farmer can
make use of his ingenuity. One
farmer found that a couple of
long shafts on his combine were
badly worn.
The bearings were at the
ends. To avoid the purchase of
these repairs he cut the shafts
in two and welded the outside
ends in the middle.
A trip to the local machine
shop provided the necessary
holes and key seats for about
one-tenth the cost of the new
parts.
I wonder how many times
it is the ability of devising ways
and means to make saving of
this kind that make the differ-
ence between a successful and
unsuccessful farmer.

John R. Murdock
The death of John Robert
Murdock, well-known resident
of Stanley Township, occurred
in St. Joseph's Hospital, Lon-
don, on Friday, August 2.
Mr. Murdock was the young-
est son of the late William
Murdock and Jessie Ross Mur-
dock, pioneer residents of the
Brucefield area, and was the
last surviving member of his
family.
He was born and lived all his
life on the farm owned and
occupied by his family far over
100 years. He was in his 74th
year.
Until his retirement some 10
years ago, Mr. Murdock was a
successful farmer, and apiarist,
operating over 500 colonies of
bees. He shipped honey by the
carload, to the west and east
coasts, as well as shipments
overseas, and to the U.S.A.
Brought up with the beef
cattle business, in which his
father was a pioneer, he was
actively engaged in this field,
and retained his interest there-
in until the fall of 1962.
Mr. Murdock had suffered in-
different health for some years,
being a victim of an asthmatic
and heart condition, but be-
came seriously ill only two
months ago.
He is survived by his wife,
the former Janet Isabel Mc-
Beath; one son, William N.,
Dundas„ and two daughters,
Mrs. Stanley G. (Audrey)
Rumble, Toronto and Mrs. Wil-
liam D. (June) Duncan, Miami,
Florida; and eight grandchil-
dren.
He was predeceased by his
eldest daughter, Beth, in Jan-
uary of this year.
A former member of Carmel
