Looking Back
1954 is gone, Let's hope that •all.
abominable weather went with it.
Maybe our memory is short but
never in our lifetime can we re-
call such cockeyed seasons, If
anyone had any hopes this past
year of making a killing, Old
Mother Nature took care of that
guy—pronto.
Even the winter weather was
abnormal. Following a period of
normal February weather, heavy
rains caused the rivers and creeks
to go wandering off their normal
course, March came in like the
proverbial lion and left like a
lamb.
April came in mild' but the
earth remained "sad and cold".
A very few farmers were able to
take advantage of the few fine
days to do any seeding in the
short period Just prior to Easter.
Our early garden got planted April
13 and early potatoes April 14,
and the few grain fields planted at
that time later turned yellow from
the almost continuous rainy per-
iod that finally broke for a very
short period the first week of
May. Much of the spring cereal
grains remained in the sack until
the middle of May, at which time
many farmers gave up and then
planted those extra acres to pick-
ing corn.
This early planted corn also
fooled the farmer, apparently the
ground was still too cold. This
low ground temperature was also
apparent in the fresh seeding. Red
clover fields that were being re-
lied on to fill the hay mows did
it neither on. the first cutting, nor
the second either, and the clover
seed harvest—practically NIL.
June was the month of our
greatest growth. With ample rain-
fall and hot, humid weather, pas-
tures took new life. Weed seeds
germinated and competedwith
what looked like millions of dol-
lars of cash crops, beans, beets,
corn, turnips, etc. The grain fields
showed more thistles than normal
due to the wet spring.
A bumper wheat harvest be-
came general about July 21 with
the combines working early and
late, even Sundays in an effort
to garner one of the heaviest
crops in late years. Spring grain
harvest got under way the first
week of August and then got de-
layed for almost another week
due to catchy weather, which
soused some small loss due to
sprouting in the swathes and
stooks.
Fall canning crops were tops!
The heavy yields of picking beans
and canning corn helped to a
great extent to take the sting out
by the Reverend Lester Cress.
Mr. Eden who was in his 88th
year was married in Grand Bend
to the former Annie Tetreau, who
survives with several sons and
daughters.
Felson Ravelle
Native Of Bend
Nelson N. Ravelle, 72, retired
grocer, died at his home in Port
Huron, on December 23, after a
prolonged illness. •
Mr. Ravelle was born on Oct-
ober 24, 1882, in Grand Bend,
moving to Port Huron in 192.5,
wihere he operated a' grocery store
until his retirement. Mr. Ravelle
was married in Grand Bend on
August 10, 1904 to Emma Des-
jardine who still survives, along
with two daughters, Mrs. Gordon
R. Heamaa, Port Huron, and`Mrs.
George Freshour, Flint, and two
sons, Fred N. Ravelle, Port Hur-
on, and Donald E. Ravelle, Marys-
ville; two sisters, Mrs. Leah 'Ger-
omette, and Mrs. Sarah Hamil-
ton,both of Grand Bend, and six
grandchildren.
Funeral services were held on
Sunday from the Hartley Foster
Funeral Home, Rev, J. Alton
Cressman officiating. Interment
was in Sunset Memorial Gardens,
Port Huron.

He was half -way under the train!"
of the light pea harvest, The ave-
rage yield of canning corn was
four tens to the acre. Picking
beans yielded an average of 2.75
tons per acre.
September? That beginning was
a fooler. The early birds in the
field beans got the worms this
year. In the first 14 days there
were four days precipitation and
in the last Half of the month--
nine
onth—nine days of rain including some
cold weather with snow on Sep-
tember 22,
October was the heartbreaker
with 18 days of rain which chang-
ed to a heavy blanket of snow on
the 30th. When we opened the
silo to feed the hungry critters
on October 31 there was a
depth of five inches. Most farm-
ers had completely ,given up hopes
long before this date of salvag-
ing anything from the .beans and
those with turnips, sugar beets
and picking corn had carried on
as well as possible in the mud—
slipping, slugging—and yes,
swearing.
The snow that fell at the end
of October stayed around for a
week, stopping outdoor work ex-
cept for some corn picking and
some combining of soybeans.
Again, the early bird got the
worm. In almost every case this
year it was the farmer who really
dug in right at the start and didn't
try to wait out the weather who
was the fortunate one. There is
still a considerably large acreage.
of picking corn and soybeans to
be harvested. Locally the farmers
report too much Snow and too
little frost for either job.
So it's goodbye 1954-1955
coming up. Mother Nature took
the first round, she's the farmer's
constant companion. Sometimes
she seems to frown on us as in
the past year, but let us hope
that she smiles in 1955. Here's to
a good seeding and a plentiful
harvest next year.
DID YOU KNOW?
It's still a good proverb: "Never
put off until tomorrow what you
can do today."
THIS WEEK
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
