The question of how best to
plow corn stalks is a matter
•which has received considerable
discussion in the past few years,
particularly since the corn picker
has come into such prominence.
However, according to Mr. J. C.
{Steckley, director of the Western
Ontario Experimental Farm at
Ridgetown, the problem is rather
simple in that it is only a mat
ter of clearance. In the first
place, he feels that no extra or
special equipment is necessary.
However, adjustments may be
necessary on the plow. Firstly,

KING OF PAIN"
Ontario Paves Way
For Old-Age Pensions
A bill designed to extend old-
age pensions to those between
the ages of 65 and 69 was intro
duced to a special session of the
legislature Monday by Welfare
Minister Goodfellow. It is expect
ed to benefit 40,000 people in
the province.
Described by the minister as a
historic achievement, the bill
also serves to bring Ontario in
line with new federal proposals
for §4<>-a-month pensions
over 70 years. Endorsed
provinces last year, the
legislation is scheduled
passed next month. It
I bring pensions to another 260,-
1 000 people in Ontario.
Payment of pensions to the
j needy between the ages of 65
and 69 inclusive, will'begin Jan- iuary 1, 1951, with all applicants
i being subject to the means test,
j Cost of the new pensions
split 5 0-50 by the Ontario
i Ottawa governments.
For all ovei’ 70 in Ontario
Dominion Government will
$40 monthly pensions without,
the means test, and assume the !
whole cost under the agreement j
reached with the provinces.
Another highlight is the deci
sion by the province not to seek
recovery from estates
pensions money paid
the Old-Age Pension
This practice had
admitted as troublesome and
noying, the minister told
House. For many pensioners,
new act takes the mortgage
the little home.
Mr. Goodfellow revealed
province will extend medical ser
vices to cover not only the pres
ent 93,000 pensioners 70 years,
and over, but to all needy per- i
sons in the 65-69 age group. j
Principal beneficiaries of On-1
tario’s higher payments will be;
widows, retired teachers, clergy
men, farmers, railroad and in
dustrial workers ,and all those
65 and over who are in need.
Mr. Goodfellow also claimed
the new pension program will
relieve municipalities of an ex
penditure estimated at between
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000. This
would be of direct relief to the
property owner, he stated. It will
also aid industry and stimulate
employment. All needy blind
persons, 21 years and over, will
be eligible to receive a maximum
yearly pension of $S40.

Mr. Steckley stresses the im
portance of plowing in the same
direction as the corn picker was
operated. Another suggestion he
puts forth is that, if the plowing
i is done in the fall, it may be a j good idea to go over the field
I with a roller, once again rolling
i in the same direction as the corn j picker. If these simple rules are j
followed, he feels that the width
and depth of plowing are not
important.*
In conclusion Mr. Steckley re
commends that anyone plowing
corn stalks under for the first
time should apply some form of
a nitrogen fertilizer. This ferti
lizer, when plowed in with the
corn stalks, will assist in their
disintegration and also increase
the soil fertility, thereby increas
ing the yield the following year, i
To verify this statement he says
that at the Experimental Farm :
oats seeded on land where corn i
stalks had been plowed in with
nitrogen fertilizer the previous
fall have given remarkable
suits. The increase in yields
suiting from this practice
run as high as 20 to 25 bus.

No SQUIRREL," frowned
Sammy, "would ever do what
you've done today!"
"But all I did was buy five new
moss pillows," retorted Sophie,
his wife.
"Ummhmm," said Sammy. "Did
we need to get new moss
pillows?"
"No," answered Sophie, "but
everybody knows there's a terrific
shortage of moss — so moss pil
lows are getting scarcer and
scarcer. Besides, the prices are
bound to go higher,"
"They certainly will if every
body follows your example,"
growled Sammy. "That sort of
buying just sends prices up high
er. But what worries me is—what's
happening to our savings."
„ "Savings?" echoed Sophie.
"How can we save when the cost
of living is higher than a Douglas
Fir? Take this tail brush, for in
stance. Ten years ago I could buy
one for five measly beechnuts.
Now they cost two horse-chest
nuts. Or take ..."
"I know, I know," cut in
Sammy. "But we still need to save
fox the same reasons we always 1
have. We've got to keep adding to
our bank account, paying our life
insurance and buying savings
bonds. Or leave town."
Leave town?" gasped Sophie.
"For heaven's sake why?"
"Because," said Sammy, "every
body thinks squirrels are savers.
So if people find out we're not
saving they'll say we're not squir
rels! We'll be exiled. Banished."
"Oh, dear!" exclaimed Sophie,
"I never thought of that. I'm sorry,
Sammy, From now on I'll really
try to save every way I can. Oak?"
"Oak!" said Sammy.
