"FARMING HAD TO
COME NEXT"
t -
A well known Hensall firm is feat-
ured
e a
ured in the current issue of the Oli-
ver Corporation Magazine, "Better
Farming", under WS title "Farming
had to come next", The article says
in part:
Twenty-five years ago hardly any-
one in southern Ontario considered
the possibility that the W. GI Thonsp-
sons would be farmers. Yet, Tor the
past fourteen years, farming has
been an important part of their
thriving business,
As a young man, Tommy Thomp-
son mastered the field of finance. He
served a term as a banker in a small
agricultural community. Later, in the
midst of the great depression, he
launched his i+ery successful grain-
handling business at Blenheim. His
next venture was inevitable
FARMING HAD TO COME NEXT.
The third adventure was more
than just a move to conquer another
business field. He had a vision. He
saw a rainbow in the future for him-
self and all the farmers of the area,
If bean and wheat yields could be in-
creased. Better seed was needed
seed• that would boost yields and im-
prove the quality of the grain. For
Tommy, opportunity was knocking.
A spot on the north bank of Lake
Erie was selected and in 1940 Tom-
my and Anne Thompson with their
two sons moved to the farm. The
house was big, but in need•of remod-
eling . , . ideal, as far as Anne
was concerned, With belie war going
on, they had taken custody of two
British "war orphans" and needed
plenty of room. And, with her back-
ground of nursing, Anne was head
over heels in Red Cross work. There,
again, the big house came in handy
as a meeting place.
It was a 240 -acre place east of
Blenheim, in the heart of the fertile
white bean growing area. Wheat and
tobacco were important crops, too,
but the bean crop was the backbone
of the farmer's income and the life-
blood of the Thompson's grain busi-
nese. And, for diversification, hog
and cattle feeding was gaining in
popularity.
Right from the start the new farm-
ers gave special attention to raising
beans and wheat for seed. The busi-
ness thrived, and they soon started
enlarging the farm. Today there are
730 acres in the Thompson farm,
but it still specializes in growing re-
gistered bean and wheat seed,
Like the other farmers of the Blen-
heim -Chatham area, the Thompsons
fed some hogs and cattle .
just so they wouldn't have all their
eggs in one basket. But work at the
elevator took most of Tommy's time.
By necessity, he had to depend on
hired labor to run the farm.
Fortunately, out of the labor prob-
lem grew one of Tommy's happiest
associations. It is with John McNeill,
the "right-hand man" on the farm.
Mac has been on the Thompson farm
since 1941. Jack Mason, another of
the hired men, has completed eight
years on the farm.
Another association standing the
test of time is the one between Toni -
:my and John Smith of Ridgetown,
the Oliver dealer. Froni the very be-
ginning, the Thompson have been
strong Oliver users. In fact, they
started with a "70" tractor, an Oli-
ver 3 -bottom plow, manure spreader
and a bean puller.
More Oliver equipment was added
as the farm grew larger. Now, the
wide variety of operations on the
farm are practically all mechanized
with. Oliver equipment. There are
three "77's" and a "66" tractor that
are busy nearly every day. Other
Oliver machines include 3 plows, 3
cultivators, a No. 26 drill that sows
and fertilizes more than 300 acres
each year, 2 No. '7A manure spread-
ers, a bean puller, a No. 22A mower
and many other small units.
If you were to follow the daily
footsteps of the Thompsons, you
would soon be a seasoned traveler
with a thorough background of the
intricacies of business. Tommy looks
after the grain business at Blenheim
while handsome bachelor sons Wes
and John supervise operations at
three other mills in the southern On-
tario area. And Anne keeps her big
country home immaculate ,
without any help. Then, if that
weren't enough, occasionally they
find time to visit England, Miami
and the Caribbean.
( BETTER FARMING is proud to
salute the W. G. Thompsons of Ridge -
town, Ontario, and tip our hat to
John McNeill and Dealer Jack Smith.
They have provided us with an op-
portunity of meeting one of Ont-
• ario's truly Outstanding Farm Fami-
lies the family that dis-
covered that FARMING HAD TO
COME NEXT.

$185,000 Bridge Being
Built at Auburn
Work is progressing on construc-
tion of the new 9185,000 bridge span-
ning the Maitland River near Auburn.
The bridge will replace the old one
built over 40 years ago. Besides the
new bridge, work includes re-routing
of the road to by-pass the business
section and conte out at the easterly
limits of the village. The bridge will
have two abutments and three piers.
Hopes are that the bridge will be
open by Christ4nas. It will be dedi-
cated to the late T. R. Patterson,
county engineer. The new construc-
tion enterprise at the Maitland crass:
ing west of Auburn comes in the fear
when Auburn is celebrating its 100th
year. Special celebrations in July are
to commemorate the snaking of the
first survey in 1854, for a townsite
which was at first named Manchester.
The 9185,000 project will make the
biggest rearrangement of the Auburn
landscape that has occurred since the
village was first founded. The sharp
and dangerous right-angle turn at the
west end of the Auburn main street
