Avoid plow bottorns se wide that they may waste energy and bring stones 10 tbe surface unneces- sarily. Ten years ago, mosl plow bottoms were about 14 inches wide, bowever now many are 16 incbes, some are 18 inches and recently one manufacturer began offering a plow bottom 20 incbes wide. These wide plow bottoms are sometimes necessary be- cause the wide traclor tires common today do not fit narrow furrows and the power of the large modermi tracter can be fully utilized only by a plow witb wide bottoms. Manufacturers prefer tbem because, for the saine total widtb of cul, tbey can build plows witb fewer parts. Farmers, especîal*y tbose who grow corn, like wide-bot- tomed plows because they give greater lrasb clearance. .However, wide-bottomed plows are net above criticism. As a rule, plow bottoms turn the best furrow wben the depth of plowing is about haîf the cul. Wben deep plowing is unnecessary, energy is wasted by the wide-bottomed plow which turns an eight-lo ten- incb furrow. Besides bringing u stones due le the deep ploin, tbe wide-bottomed plew aise leaves larger clods in tbe field, making more secendary tillage necessary.

That's where the Commerce SMART registered savings plan comes in. The SMART plan is really a double-barrelled savingi plan. It not oniy gives you good compound interest rates on the money yeu save, but it also saves yeu some of the meney you'd nermally pay on inceme tax. For example, if your taxable income is $10,000. and you put $1,000. into SMART you'd only pay taxes on $9,000. You see, since the SMART plan is registered with tbe Government, the Income Tax Act lets you deduct a certain amount from yeur incemeand lets you accumulate ibis money tax-free until you really need it. Yeur accumulated savings will be treateti as taxable inceme ini tbe year ibey are paid ouite you. 1At the Commerce we tbink a plan thai ailows you te SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE TAXES is smart. Which is wby we named our plan the way we did. IlI IIOW muclimoey does it requie 1 tart? Thç minimum contribution bas been set ai $50. And you can contribute as ofien as yeu like. The ameunt you wish te save (wiîhin allowable limits) is entirely up te you.
