Page 3 Friday, June 18, 1976 Farm News and Views It sure has been a long spring started off great and then slowed right down to a_ standstill, anyway I finally finished planting on June 9, had about one hours work left on Tuesday and got caught in the thunder storm, I just got wet but I hear some people were out of Hydro till late the next day. During the long hours spent on the tractor there is lots of time for contemplation and thought, ana- lyzing past mistakes and plan- ning new ones. The government farm organizations and agribus- iness all come under close scrutiny. One thing that upsets all farmers is the price of our inputs; we pay what we're asked and when we sell take what's given to us. A good example of where we are paying too much is the seedcorn salesman who has to meet a goal to get a free trip or other bonus. Eg., if he sells 1000 units he wins an all expense paid brip to Hawaii for two. The way I see it, that comes to close to $'s per unit. I would rather save that money to go on a trip of my own, I have always wanted to see Marionville but never had the money. The multitude of grades in seedcorn also provokes me. I don't know why a flat 5 or round 3 can't be the same for all varieties so that the same plate would fit them all. It would make things too easy I guess. That was quite the demonstration by Quebec farmers on Parlia- ment Hill; while the violence occurred is not to be condoned it did get results. Mr. Whelan and Quebec representatives have been talking ever since and there are signs of some change in policy. Just one guess who will come out for the better, Quebec or Ontario. I recall a motion on the books demanding strong and decisive action by Russell County Fed. of Agr. which resulted in a bus trip to O.F.A., headquarters in Toronto and produced ab- solutely zilch. The province reduced _ the moneys available for tile drain- age and each township is allowed a percentage of the amount that was loaned out last year, so a township that had a_ large acreage tiled in 1975 is in a lot better shape then a township like Russell where $55,000 was used up by the first two applicants. If anyone is thinking of tiling in the near future, better get your application in and join the waiting list. Springwork and it's inevitable rush always brings with it farm accidents. A Mr. Quesnel, 49, of St. Albert was killed on June 3, while attempting to pull out a bogged down tractor his tractor turned over and pinned him underneath. It serves as a warning for us all, there just isn't anything THAT important. Safety should always come FIRST. Parting shot: Give a politician a free hand and he'll put it in your pocket. P. Romme An Interview with Mr. R. Morgan Warner THE STAFF OF WARNER'S STORE, 1912 Mrs. McShea, Mr. Duford, Morgan Warner, Osios Thibault, John Carkner, Miss McShea, Lawrence Carkner. On a stroll through Russell, one cannot help admiring the beautifully manicured shrubs and garden of Mr. Warner's home. During our chat, I didn't learn the secret to his horticultur- al success, but I did discover a very interesting story about a long-time Russell resident, which I would like to share with you. Born in Osnabruck Township, west of Cornwall, Mr. Warner worked on his family's farm until 1903 when he took a job in the general store in Osnabruck Centre. Can you believe his earnings for a 6-day week totalled exactly $2.50?! McArthur's Store in Kenmore was the next stop on the way to Russell. In 1908 Mr. Warner began working for Mr. McArthur, and four years later joined the business. Just prior to opening the store in Russell, Mr. Warner married Lyla Pear! Wyatt in Cornwall. the long association in the store business began in January 1912 at the present Russell Food Mart. This was to remain Mr. Warner's business location for the next 62 years! Many events highlighted those 62 years for Mr. Warner, including the birth of his two daughters, Frances and Thyra. The Warner family now includes 9 grandchildren and 11 great- grandchildren! The fire of 1915 is vividly remembered by Mr. Warner. All day long he helped to feed fire fighters while the New York Central train brought out the fire engine and water pump. Most of downtown Russell was demolished, but Warner's store remained untouched. In 1951 the Warners built their present home. Mr. Warner continued to be involved in the Cancer Society, CNIB, Curling Club and Agricultural Society. Upon his retirement in 1974, he was awarded a plaque for 62 years of business with Imperial Oil. Since 1970 Mr. Warner has travelled extensively with his family, to the British Isles, and to the West and East Coasts of Canada. When he is not trimming those beautiful evergreens, Mr. Warner enjoys visits from his family and many friends. Thank you for an enjoyable chat, Mr. Warner. And to those of you who are new to the village, take a walk down Mill Street and call out a friendly greeting to one of our oldest Russell residents.
