The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1951-09-27, Page 3THE TIMES-APVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1951 farm NEWS J 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, to all by the federal to be should 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. By STANLEY'Mfrt.MtM.rf. V I Qrfi.fr Ontario Department of Agriculture DOCTORS WATS THE IDEA?

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. acre. re- re- lias per CROMARTY Mr. and Mrs. George Wallace, •. and Mrs. Thos.

(Ed. note—What’d he say?) 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. MORAL: These days, it is vital­ ly important for everyone to save money to help check inflation — and to provide for his own future needs. NOTE TO FATHERS: Remember — lite insurance is your most important form of saving be­ cause it provides financial security for your family. So pay your pre­ miums regularly.
