page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday august 1 1940 tulje tmtffmll rtbutt established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1400 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment on the lake we sometimes wonder if our friends here in town particularly the merchants and members of the town coun cil realize the size and importance of the summer popula tion at musselmans lake they might get a real eye- opener some afternoon if they would take a stroll around from the rose farm on the west side to cedar beach drive on the north taking in all the new avenues on the south side which is probably the most thickly populated section on the lake between these two points there are over 250 cottages of all sizes and designs it is estimated that the population at this popular resort during the month of july and august varies from 1000 to 1500 people thats a lot of citizens to feed and provide the necessities of their temporary camp life here an everincreasing share of this business should be spent with the merchants of stouffville but are our municipal bodies and citizens doing anything to create a spirit of goodwill and friendliness to make every one of these visitors a booster for stouffville think it over friends tractor on a hundred acres can a man on a hundredacre farm afford a tractor will it be a good investment for him this problem came up for consideration when a group of fanners were passing the timeofday at a recent field day held in waterloo coun ty there are hundreds of farmers buying tractors who have no licence to own them declared one man with emphasis they will be in the position of selling cheap feed to buy expensive fuel it seems to me too that every tractor bought is increasing the amount of grain being offered on the market and still further depressing the price what would happen to grain markets if all farmers decided to sell their tractors and touy horses this man went on to tell us that he had put in 65 acres of spring crop with five old horses and had it in ahead of the rain which was as well as his neighbors with tractors had been able to do james rettie well known as one of the veterar helstein breeders held that on his 160 aeres of good ox ford county land he has six horses and a small rubbertired tractor it speeds up the work and makes farming easier was his comment he added that he was satisfied that heavy field work could be done cheaper with the tractor than with horses he instanced one field of eight acres that was plowed eight inches deep last summer when plowing conditions were decidedly hard it took gas to the value of just 160 and was done in a day and a half for lighter work mr rettie prefers to use the horses and from now till afterharvest cultivation states the tractor will be little used on 100 acres well mr rettie could not speak from experience but he had his doubts water hose no help to your garden watering gardens from the hose in stouffville is for the most part so much waste time authorities at ex perimental stations assure us that the gardeners blind faith in the watering can is pathetic beyond little momentary refreshment of the leaves the sprinkled contri bution is wasted or worse the moisture that helps a crop materially is the moisture that gets down to the seeds or the roots it takes quite a wetting to do this and the chill water from the stouffville system is not good for other reasons chiefly because it chills the plant too much we are delighted to read this instruction from an authority in the statistical department at ottawa because we have had many an argument about the merits of using the hose here in stouffville on our gardens the hoe and the scuffler are the best means of concerving soil moisture because for one thing they kill the weeds that sap the moisture from the soil that might go toward maintaining the plant even during a continued dry spell a hill of corn may continue to thrive if assured all the moisture in a square yard of ground if obliged to compete with a mat of weeds the corn is stunted the peace river region of northern alberta and northern british columbia is subject to lengthy periods of dry weather yet the dominion substation at beaverlodge alberta has rjver had a complete failure of its vegetable garden and usually has a flourishing one though no vege table crop except celery is ever watered after the trans planting stage transplants are occasionally watered when being set out not afterwards it is strictly against the rule insisted upon by the superintendent w d albright who wishes to see what can be grown by the means within anyones reach incidentally clean cultivation conserves all the plant food as well as the moisture for the crop a university psychologist is advising people to ignore the heat if you keep talking about it he is quoted as saying and opening your cellar and wiping your brow youll notice it a lot more we knew that some people dur ing a heat wave do go down and sit in the cellar as the cool est spot in the house but the context in this particular story showed that cellar was a typographical error for collar this expert does not soom to think much of the prevalent habit of men unfastening their collars it shows they are paying attention to the heat instead of forgetting it but we imagine the practice will persist milk the muscle builder milk not only builds muscles it builds strong bones and

down remember roads and walks business directory medical cedar beach songster thrilled broadway footlight fans although people who visit cedar beach dance gardens at musselmans lake are always loud in their praises for the smilingfaced young tenor who warbles each evening for jack evans swing band they are possibly all unaware that this energetic personality they are listening to holds an exceeding ly high postion in the song world the lad were talking about is rex doyle son of mr and mrs edward doyle of toronto who is just completing his eighth year as a successful singer rex opened his tender foot career at the silver slipper in toronto and stepped along from there up to the savarin on bay street where his popularity reigned for three years follow ing this successful campaign his engagements came thick and fast montreal claimed him for eight months also colum bus hall and even radio wherej he starred as the golden voiced boy singer on the sun dried coffee programme overshadowing all these stag es on the road to singing fame was a one hundred week en gagement in new york city where he worked as a leading soloist for benny davis and his star dust review on broadway brooklin and the bronx was also thrilled to the rythmic song versions of this young canadian star but home has always looked good to this toronto boy and he has just signed a contract for another year as feature soloist at columbus hall it matters not whether its a dreamy waltz or the slappiest jazz rex gives his singing everything hes got and thats certainly plenty with a smiling delivery that makes everyone forget they ever had a care still another member of the doyle family who has made a place in the entertainment world is marion doyle sister of rex marion is a radio
