• The summers these days are
not as 'long, they're not as. hot,
.they'• ,don't smell as good, and
'perhaps worst of all they don't
.sound, the same.'•And that'snot.
nostalgia, for something ' that's
gone. It's.' true:

Why thirty years agog' T did
more. in one day in the sum -
Mer than I .do in a week. now..
The days were twice as long.
There were' interminable games
of baseball to be played, There
was The Sandpit to visit. There
were . suckers to be caught and
sold for tw.o cents a' pound ' to
the ancient and honourable Jew
who bought all our Merchandise.
There was gardening and other
work to be avoided, which took
a lot of time and ingenuity.
There was swimming for hours,
until your lips turned blue,. .the.
sign it was time 'to.• quit There,,

today's farming you need, tho.,
. •
new fea�ures �f
Massey -Ferguson machrnes
Today new farming methods;; new
technical developments and new
engineering, advances bring con-
stant change and improvement in
tractors, ; combines and other farm
machines.
Old style machines can'tgive you
the ease of handling andspeed you
want,. they don't have the labour
• saving'. features you need and• they
don't .give you the money -making
ability' to help you, farm profitably.
Obsolete equipment doesn't have•
what is needed to meet the demands
of farming today.
Move ahead with the; latest: • •
Massey -Ferguson machines and
free yourself of the ' handicap of •
trying to farm modern with out of
date • equipment. • Ask your ' local •
Massey -Ferguson dealer for full
particulars' about the latest models.

In the evenings, the men would
sanake their' pipes on the veran-

And when the darkness Baine
Iandthe night grew quieter: the.
murmur of voices from the ver-'
andahs, the uneven click of .heels
onsidewalk as lovers ambled
home from the movies; the squeak
:of a hammock swinging on, the:'

of . a lonely youth; the • thin
strains ,of a gramaphone.

These sounds, each with: an in-
timate meaning, 'have been re

of tires and shriek of brakes', the
