GASOLINE
THERE ARE FIVE:
CO-OP Formula 5 Gasoline
gives you better perfor-

reasons. That's why we call
it Formula 5. It can be
stored longer without deter-

Volatility is controlled from
month to month to give you
peak power whenever you
need it. It contains a car-
buretor detergent to clean
out harmful deposits. A
built-in corrosion inhibitor
helps keep gasoline free of
impurities and an anti-icing
additive fights cold weather

An old friend who spent the
year in Europe just returned,
We'd been out of touch, but I
didn't realize how much until I
came upon this paragraph in a
letter from him.
"I met your friend, Bob, last
night and he tells me you have
retired. And to a farm ! I
simply can't believe it; but if
it's true, I envy you. Now
you'll have time to think, read,
and be the scholarly type you
always wished to be, I can just
see you, pipe in mouth, stroll-
ing through your meadows, or
reading and relaxing while the
rest of us Continue the rat race.
Hurrah for your side!"
Oh, boy, if he only knew!
If I am retired, the rat race
was a picnic. This would be
an average day for me:
Rise at 6:30 a.m. and make
a dint in the doggone chores.
Grab a bite of breakfast, and
then write one of the ten broad-
casts I do each week. Dash to
Vancouver to see one of the
few public relations accounts I
continue to handle - and do the
writing chores involved in that.
I am likely to get back to the
farm about midnight, and thank
the Good Lord that it is dark so
I cannot see hdw much the
grass or weeds have grown in
the meantime.
Strolling in my meadows,
he can see me, yet! Yeah, but.
up until a few weeks ago I car-
ried a scythe with me, or a
grass whip, No scholarly
pauses by the brook to meditate
(I did that when we first came
to the farm) or the chores will
go undone. And besides, I
have a list as long as your arm
of things that need doing urg-
ently. I will be teaching crea-
tive writing this Fall, and must

Crop report
Most crops are now growing
satisfactorily in Huron County,
although there is a great varia-
tion in the progress of corn,
white beans and cereals in dif-
ferent areas. Oats and barley
heads are filling well. Some
lodging has occurred.
Almost daily showers con-
tinue to hold up the storing of
quality hay. Practically all al-
falfa is now in full bloom and
grass species have become
more mature than desirable.
Where control of leaf hop-
pers on white beans is necessary,
several suitable chemicals are
listed in 1967 Field Crop
Recommendations, publication
296, available at Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture and
Food offices.
Where applied, most recom-
mended chemical weed killers
have done a very effective job
this year.

get my notes in order, This
task will be squeezed in be,
tween efforts to get the outline
of a book prepared.
So that's my day, darn it!
Of course, I like it - or I would
have ordered my life different-
ly. Most of us wind up work-
ing because in spite of our bee-
ing, that's what keeps us happy
and fulfilled, If the scientific
geezers finally make work ob-
solete, a whole new set of
things that need doing will
spring up to confront us, There
will always be a market for the
products of energy and effort.
But I didn't tell my old
friend all this, I wrote back,
promptly, "Yes, I realize you
envy me, and I feel badly
about it. So I am now official-
ly inviting you to spend a month
here in the quiet surroundings of
the farm. We'll stroll through
the meadows, and if you're a
good boy I'll let you operate
my tractor, and you'll go back
to the rat race rested and re-
freshed."
I hope he falls for it! If he
does, he'll go back to the rat
race with some callus on his
hands, and a completely new
idea of how busy the placid
rural life can be!
