the tribune stouffville ont thursday august 25 m9 evtkxboihs business 5fe do you think youre too old to achieve success have you resigned yourself to a life of mediocre achievement henry ford was more than forty before he became estab lished on the road to fame and fortune yet he was but one of a host of great leaders in all fields who did not make their mark until they reached middle age this is not surprising for there is plenty of evidence to prove that in almost every kind of work peak efficiency is only attained after many years of experience an efficiency test of factory workers showed that top producers averaged forty- seven years of age ah says someone but you cant teach an old dog new tricks nonsense modern psy chology has exploded this idea sky high the middleaged can learn just as well as youth if they want to so if you feel that lack of education or technics knowledge is holding you back dont just bemoan the fact start a planned program of study its worth the effort practical men of middleage make definite preparations for their retirement millions of people have saved for their old age through life insurance and enjoy basic comforts and often such extras as new

crops harvested in the immediate locality of stouffville this season came off the former mertens farm just west of town the property it will be recalled was sold a couple of years ago to mr steve koteles who is still employed in toronto but is able to operate his farm as well and do a good job too wheat on the farm this year harvested 50- 60 bushels to the acre while ten acres of oats yielded 185 bags of grain mr koteles used a combine to harvest the grain and sold the straw at 11 a ton so that it may be said he touched the high spots in good returns all along the line since acquiring this historic old farm mr koteles has systema tically made improvements bring ing in hydro and other conven iences and intends in due time to modern the barns to fit the kind of farming he intends to pursue development of corn is ahead of normal because of weather its an illwind that blows no man good observed an official of the crops branch ontario department of agriculture as he considered reports on development of corn in the province due to semitropical conditions resulting from drought and rain that came too late to save the hay a bumper crop of corn is now indicated weather is never standard this official noted we can not be sure that the thermometer will reach 85 on july 10 nor that there will be no frost after june 15 or before september 20 rain on thursday clear on sunday is never assured yet we plan our seed time and harvest on the calendar because of experience and custom he pointed out that frost is look ed for in midmay and potatoes are planted around may 24 wheat is sown about september 1 and nine out of ten years these arbitrary dates are a good and sufficient guide however there are excep tions and 1949 has certainly been the exception the same weather plus rain which came too late to save the hay has as one agriculturist puts it created semitropical conditions and has changed corn prospects from very poor to very good in spite of a poor start corn has made remarkable growth and will be ready for silo two weeks ahead of normal at the same time he remarked 3000000 tons of hay have been lost due to dry weather and it must be knocked off supply of roughage for next winters use the moral of the story he observed is that if the normal date for silofilling is september 24 in order to ensile the 1949 crop and avoid spoilage due to over- maturity decks should be cleared for silofilling about september 14 again the crop expert says it all depends on the weather but it certainly pays to be prepared he pointed out that experts say that the right time to fill the silo is when corn contains 70 to 75 per cent moisture this condition is reached between early and late dough stages in the corns develop ment too much moisture results in sour silage too little means mouldy silage it is even possible to be fooled by the corn itself be cause hybrid types remain green farther into maturity than do the openpolinated types seeks us help in fight
