Home My WebLink AboutThe Seaforth News, 1949-12-15, Page 2Short Shorthorn—Gene Holter shows off Ferdinand, one of the herd of dwarf cattle he found in a secret "lost canyon" near Jamestown, N.D. Ferdinand is 28 inches high and weighs 225 pounds. Veterinarians say he's a perfect dwarf Hereford, • about two sears old. At that age, Ferdinand should be an excellent source of minute steaks and short ribs. When people drive past your farm today, they might say, "That's the Soanso place, Best farm in the county." But did you ever wonder what they'll be saying about it 10 or 15 years from now? * + * Recently, the editors of Wallaces' Fernier, published in Iows, have been looking over .a number of pIaeee that once were considered the "best forma in their communi- ties." This is what they report— "Some of them look terrible now! Buildings are run down. So1I la getting thin. Often, there is a one- year tenant on the place." x e * What happened? Did a tornado strike or a drought hit? No. Did low prices wipe out the operator? No, prices have been good. All that happened was this: The farmer who owned the place held on to it until ills death. Then It was divided among several children. That is tae customary way for fagot operators to handle their prop- erty. It also—in some cases—is s good way to ruin a good farm. Take John X, for example. We don't dare call names and counties fn a case like this. But John is like a dozen other farmers we know. John died in 1928. One of his boys bought out the two girls and the other eon. That started the boy on the farm with e heavy mortgage. He lost the place in 1932. The farm has been rented alnre. The community has lost a first-rate farm family. The farm itself has gone downhill. John's boy. now farming else- vvhere, and getting along, had a hard time getting over his bad start. Bucky's Back—Stanley "Bucky" Harris smiles broadly as he signs a three-year con- tract in Washington to manage the Washington Senators base- ball team. It will be the third time as the Senators' manager for Bucky, whose most recent Job was with San Diego in the Pacific Coast League. Are there better ways to handl* the job of passing on a farm from one generation to the next? We think 50. There are two major points ie watch: 1. Get the settleanent made early so that everybody will know how things are going to work out. Don't leave it to the executor of your estate. He's no smarter than you 2. Int- any disposition of the farm, use an appraisal based on 30 -year average yields and prices. Don't put an inflated value on the place. k Maybe John X, 65, calls the four children in, and says: "Your ma and I are going to quit farming I've had the farm appraised. If prices the next 30 years average out the way they have been rhe last 30 years, it's worth about $20.000. We'll sell for that. Who wants it to live on?" If only one of the cilildreu wants The farm, that makes it easy. If - two want it, they may nave to match coins. But don't split it up unless it is plainly too big. If it is a good working unit naw'. have at that way. What ternis? John X gory on: "I'll sell the machiner and live stock for cash. You can have the place on contract. I'll make you a rade of interest just a little below the land bank rate. "But you'll have to keep riooka and pay me one-half of the net in- codne of the farm each yell;. That applies on the principal and interest. "If you have a bad year, your payment will be cut down accord- ingly. And I'll have to draw on my bonds to get along. But you won't be wrecked by hen. y pay- ments in a had year." * * It might be still better if John X, at 50, has his boy coming to work the farm on shares. Aad for John to say then: "Fifteen years from now, I'll probably retire. When I do, thfe is the kind of deal I want to make with you. And I'll fix my will so that if anything happens to me, that deal willstart at once." * * * It's hard to ask outright about ]hinge like this. A boy can't gay, "Pop, gone day you'll be hauled off by the undertaker. What happens to me and the farm then?" Yet a boy, working on the home farm, has a right to know whad'e ahead. Definite plans should bo made for disposition of the farm when the father quits or dies, All men are born equal. How tfscy finish depends on what they're equal to, ti I Subdued lid Fiery itch W.

ISSUE 45 — 1949 SL1 More and more it is coming to look as though the ,honeymoon is definitely over so far as sports -pro-' motion in the United States 3s con- cerned. Of course fight gates have been "off" for many months; but that was put down, by sports writ- ers and other "experts" as largely due to the sad' lack of colorful and reasonably workmanlike leather heavers, especially in the heavy- weight division. But now the folks who set in cash at the box -offices are staying away from football—both the col- lege.and honestly professional var- ieties—in 'increasingly large and painful quantities. Stadium selloute, which were the rule during wartime and immediately post -wartime days, are the exception now. In sport, as in many other lines of trade, they're having a buyer's rather than a sell- er's market. And the colleges and promoters who went clean over- board building huge arenas and vast stadiums are beginning to worry more than a trifle. * * Take the University of Pennsyl- vania, for example. In Franklin Field, Penn has one of the biggest stadiums in the States, seating more than 78,000. Last fall they had sell- outs for practically every home game, with a total attendance of over 460,000 in seven contests. Their first two opponents this season were Dartmouth and Columbia, both gen- erally big drawing cards. Yet in the two games the paying clients numbered only around 70,000 all told. And that with a winning team! * * * This is merely one example, taken from many; and the reason we men- tion it is not because we think that both our readers are especially in- terested in United States football, but because sports trends here have a way of following those south of the border. What is happening there is liableto be duplicated, before too long, right here. When that day comes, the reactions of certain pro- moters, in danger now of becom- ing round-shouldered from patting themselves on the back, will be worth watching. And hearing, • * * From the first we have contended that major league hockey was more or less smacking easy -to -please cus- tomers in the face by cutting out the overtime, and allowing teams to settle -for a draw. But, "Just look at the sellout crowds and mobs beg- ging for tickets" was the only reply tie ever got, * * \Fell, as already stated, what hap- pens in the States can, and frequent- ly does, occur right here. And if certain hockey bazzaars should some day be begging for patronage, instead of turning it more or lean politely away, in our opinion the tie -game farce will have had no little to do with bringing about such a condition.
