ATKEY - - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1947 SHOULD'VOTE ON CREAM SCHEME a'rmers o+f Huron County eau do themselves a good turn by registereng their votes on the Ontario Ore'am Marketing scheme•`which is up before the crea'ni producers of the Province during April. Voting may be , done in one of two wa.',ys—by attending one of the nlnlierous meetings scheduled for this month and cast'in'g their ballots there, or dropping into the 'Juror' County Agricultural Office, Clinton, and voting there In any case, the deadline is April 30. Itis obvious that a Cream Marketing Schein: should prove just as successful as have the sugar beet, fruit and hog marketing and other plans already in effect. These literally have meant millions of dollars to the farmers Of Ontlarib. Indicating the small cost to the cream producer, a committee 'official pointed out to The. NEWS -RECORD that the deduction would 'amount only to 13 cents a can for 30 per cent cream. That does not seem much for the benefits to be gained. 0 0 0 A GREAT CANADIAN ACHIEVEMENT It is imteresthrg to note that 'another fide Canadian company, vt ilbh much more than local fanne, is marking its centennial 'chis year. ' Int is the world - Wide machinery empire of Massey -Harris Co., Limited, which was born under the inventive genius of the Massey and Harris families in the days when Ontario was still called Upper Canada. In 1847, Daniel Massey, an American by birtlh, was one of the most successful farmers around Newcastle. He had learned responsibility early in life, having, at the age of 13, taken charge of the family farm while his father was off fighting in die War of 1812. Amt 19 he launched out for himself, acquired 'his own farm, married, Worked hard and prospered. • In trips to ltlhe United States to visit relatives he 'saw and brought back some of the first farm machinery invported into Upper Canada. With each 'successive trip his interest expanded land it was neet long before he set up his own small fatrnn machine shop and began making plows, mufflers, sugar kettles and repair parts for threshers. As his business grew, he plunged whole-lieatitedly into manufacturing and in 1847 opened This new business, the Newcastle Agriuu+Rural Works. Alt 'approxim'ately the same rtuhne a preacher near Brantford, Rev. John Harris, who had long been interested in improving agricultural metlhods in 'the expanding yoiuig country, opened 'a business and began nn'an'ufanturing plows and wooden revolving hay -racks, 'an invention of his own. Side by side these two Upper Canadian farm implement companies prospered and broadened, lthe sons ta'kingover where the fathers left off. While Hart Masse , son of Daniel, guided the destiny of the Newcastle Agri- cultural Works, son Alanson Harris and grandson John Harris worked long and hard to make Harris implements known throughout Ontario and beyond. From there ons the story is one of expansion, amalgamation and prosperity. In 1879, when the Massey company transferred its enfbire plant to Toronto, it had 150 menus in its employ.: Ten years later, several years ef'ter it had absorbed the old Toronto Reaper and Mower Company, tbhe firm, its ananufaeturinig capacity now almost doubled, was employing 500 workers. By 1880, both 4ihe Massey and the Harris firms had established selling 'agen'ci'es throughout Canada and were going after the foreign, market. By 1890, it became obvious to both managements that they were selling side by side and duplicating each other's facilities. It 'Became obvious that a merger would be mutually advantageous. and in 1891, following negotiations, tJhiis was 'announced. The new Massey -Harriss Company carne into being with head- quarters in Toronto and with Hart Massey as president. The story of the coanpany also isthe story of scientific improvement. I•n 1847, agricultural implements were not =eh better than those used by the early Egyptians. To- day, 100 years later, the eoiubine plant of Massey -Harris is turning out the company's pride and jay, the intricately designed self-propelled conabilne. The machine marks a century of progressive development lblrat began in the early days of Queen Victoria on a farm at Bond Head. 0 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—Tell me What you are busy a- bout and I will tell you what you ere — Goethe.
