Plan now to get all those jobs done
this winter., Things like having the
lawnmower fixed, and the screens
mended; having the car tuned up and
outboard motor checked; having the
drapes cleaned and the rugs shampooed;
having the furniture re-upholstered and
the electrical appliances repaired; hay-
ing all those repair and. renovation jobs
done which can call for a long wait
come Spring, but which can be handled
quickly, efficiently and easily during
the winter season. Ask your bank about
a low-interest NHA Home Improve-
ment Loan. Plan ahead. Be a Winter-
planner now.
Everybody benefits when winter work is increased

Ontario Farmer
Named Top
National Plowman
An Ontario beef •farmer, 38
year old Charles Bonney of
Princeton, is the new plowing
champion of Canada He carried
off the Esso Silver Plow trophy
at the- conclusion of a two day
plowing competition held at
Milliken, near Toronto, plowing
against provincial champions
from all across Canada.
The contest was held in con-
junction with the big annual
Ontario plowing match.
Sixteen of the best plowmen
in Canada, representing eight
provinces competed =Idler good
weather conditions. In spite of
Wet weather for several clays
before the competition,', the
weatherman relented and plow-
ing conditions in the fields were
good. The contestants plowed
in stubble land' on October 13,
and in sod on the 14th.
Mr. Bonney, who received
'the winner's trophy from H. W.
'Coxon, general manager of the
Marketing Division of Imperial
Oil Liniited, is no newcomer
to the winner's circle at ploW-,
Mg matches. He has been win-
ning top plowing awards since
.1955, and in 1958 he was also
Canadian Champion. The fol-
lowing year, 1959, he placed
second' in the World Champion'-
ship contest, held that year in
Northern Ireland.
Both Charley . Bonney and
Tom Hickman, Chilliwack, B.C.,
Who Was runner-up, both share
in the Esto Travel :Award Which
will take them next -year on
a tour of agrictiltitual points of
interest abroad. Hickman is a
Fraser Valley dairy farmer who
has been almost a perennial,
competitor in . the Canadian
Championship, and 'also has rep-
resented Canada in World com-
petition.
As Canadians we are not a
boastful nation. Many times
phlegmatic in attitude, seldom
prone to spontaneous praise,
we too often take for granted
the achievements of persons;
places or industry in this coun-
try.
In my travels by rail across
Canada I have often been in-
spired beyond the limitation of
mere Words by a persOnality,
the beattY of a scene, or an'
industrial success story.
On 'at least two occasions I
can remember I have written
about the excitement success-
ful mining of potash in Sas-
katchewan has created in the
province -often referred to as
the "bread baiket of the
world." Though potash is oiling
the economical wheels of this
province, it Wats Kahrum Chemi-
cals Limited' that wrote mining
history during the latter part
of last year.
After more than six years
of research, trial and error, in
August 1964, this company was
able to 'announce that for the
first time the history of the
entire world, potash had been
successfully mined by a solu-
tion process' at their plant near
Belle Plaine.
It is naturally a well guarded
secret just how this was ac-
complished' and rightly so. Bear
in- 'mind that solution Mining
Was tried years ago in Ger-
many, in Mexico and at least
in recent years, twice in Sas-
katchewan.. The company's sec-
ret we honor, its process we
praise.
Sounds Easy
To quote from one of the
press release's', "Successful,
full-scale operation of Kalium's
mine and refinery settles long
field fears that solution mining
of potash was not economically
or technically possible."
The process, I was, told in
layman's language which even
I could understand, is to pump
water doWn through bore holes
into the potash beds a mile be-
low the surface of the earth.
This dissolves the potash-bear-
ing portion of the ores and re-
turns them to. the surface in
solution, When refined by cry-
stallization 'and drying, the fine
white produce is stored for
shipment in tremendous struc-
tures' that look like stunted -
silos. .The tiny pellets' are dust
free and its purity shows no
trace of the pink tones that
tint most potash mined in
North America. ,
Perhaps I should remind
readers that potash is one of
three necessary ingredients of
all fertilizers' and that three-
fourth's of the World's popula-
tion is awfully 'hungry. Fertil-
izerS, properlY uSetl, step up ag-
ricultural production Which in
tarn means more people can be
fed.

consumption for the next 8,000
years!
Just for a moment, while we
digest this known factor in our
economy, let us start assessing
its allied effect on industry.
Production at Kellum is expect-
ed to reach 600,000 tons per•
year. This must be shipped by
rail to eastern Canada, the
United States and to our
ocean ports for export to world
markets.
This all adds up to more food
for more people, more, employ-
ment in Saskatchewan, and a
new source of income for the
nation •and its railways, Most
of all, let us be just a little
proud nationally that giwern-
ment departments, the assur-
ance of a Means of transporia-.
tion and the cooperation of
highly Skilled technicians and
contractors brought this "first"
into being for Canada.
