MOUNTAIN DEW

A wolf devotes the best leers of Inis life to women.

•'Girls' while we wait let's have m friendly game of cards." "No, l e f s play bridge."

Late statistics say 42 per cent «C our young women are working »r ls , this leaves 58 per cent work-log men.

I t took me all summer to dis-cover if I cut it down and it iguickly grew up again it was a weed.

I hear of a young woman who •quit teaching arithmetic and went into chorus work. Seemed more profitable showing figures to older laas^

TRie portal at Shandaken is yielding considerable sport right now. Pike and bullheads are be-ing taken on the good old garden Jbackle.

My Own 50 Years Ago Prices paid to farmers were:

Butter, choice, fresh, sweet, 7c per pound; eggs, fresh and handled, per doz. 5c; live poultry, Jb. 5c; ducks, fall fowls, hens, fall ^«ialdcens, 5c.

Chap who drives home after xdaik every night tells me of a -coon he often sees crossing the liii^way from mountain to stream ID the same path night after night. I suppose Mr. Coon is enjoying

good fishing.

One or more of the A, B, C, T TlttidEers remain on most wind-idiields. Maybe the owners do not care to forget the gas rationing. iS^aldng of rationing I once l«ard a chap say, "The men beef ad>out gas and the women gas «bout beef."

Do you carrot edl for me? My heart beats for you, With your turnip nose And your radish hair. You are a peach If we cantaloupe Lettuce marry; We'd make a swell pear.

As I walk through the woods m y ears are pleased with the thundering hum of many par--tridges. They fly and fly and fly. liooks returning GI's may have jsome fun if they arrive before the <aeas(Hi ends. I have not seen many aabbits and squirrels.

Birds are gathering for the fall flights. Blackbirds and starlings make a great noise as they as-aesDoble in flocks of anywhere from 9 0 to 200 birds. Crows trail across "ttie evening ]sky in long staggering Bnes. Bluejays and chickadees. wiU soon emerge from summer liaunts as they have done for un-sold ceituries. Iliey will keep us cooapany during the winter.

Tliere were "mare's tails" in the adcy late Sunday afternoon, always « IMTOtent of sour weather. But miba knew they were to introduce a combination dt 'line storm" and Inirricane's taiL Now for better days. So far we have missed a £cost despite I read there was one i n Maryland. Wonderful October •will soon come. It is the greatest numth of the twelve.

My Dry Brook friend saw a «tium fishing at the Halcottville pond and later asked what luck. H i e man opened his ice box and sny friend gasped in amazement att a 30-inch pike. He asked many particulars as to bait, exact loca-t iwi where the fish was caught aind spent most of Tuesday cold jBnd miserable in an endeavor , to Hake a pike In the same place. He •was not told the pike he saw was caught in Canada by one of the lads who returned Sunday.

My old fishing coat hangs oh a nafi against the wall my room. Ko doubt it does not improve the

appearance of the room. But I let it hang there just to look at after the ifishing season has closed. J • • •

It's not exactly clean, is streaked and spotted, faded with sun, wind and rain. It smells of fly dope, d ^ fly oil, fish, smoke frcwn campfires.

* * *

It is a silent reminder of favorite trout holes at sunset, of deer crossing the stream at dawn and at dusk, and of the many times when the trout would grab any-thing except the dry fly I was using, of a campfire beside a jeweled mountain lake where we, my friend and I, cooked and ate our supper and had a perfect eve-ning despite rain.

* * *

It reminds me of sportsmen I have talked to, of the fish I have caught and those I have lost. To one looking about my room it's a dirty fishing coat. But to me it is a smybol of most pleasant ex-periences with the great out of doors—past and future.

I had a conversation recently with the general manager of one of the chain store groups. During the talk I asked him what was the most important qualification of a manager of a home town store. He quickly answered: "Courtesy."

* * *

I also asked him how important in the operation of a store is the manager and he replied: "Ninety per cent." I was surprised. But he convinced me that courtesy, awareness of the patron's wants and fair dealing will sell goods when price may be higher than that of a sour competitor. • » »

By courtesy he did not mean just a chee^ greetii^g. He meant cui inborn courtesy, a real desire to please. I have met folks who thought they could "kid" custom-ers or acquaintances by a pleasant greeting while in the back of their minds they harbored a "go to hell" thought.

« * *

This is not courtesy and is worse than no greeting at all. All of this sums up in my opinion to the thought that one should not go into business where he meets the public unless he i^ally loves to be of help and service and gets pleasure from it.

* * *

Margaretville has an outstand-ing example of a 50-year clerk who exudes courtesy and a desire to help. He has brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in trade to his company's store over the half century he has served.

Record Farm Income From August Milk

With the posting of a uniform price of $3.25 a hundredweight, dairy farmers in the six states of the New York milkshed learn August milk will yield a total in-come of $20,689,798.53 as a record high return for August production.

The record income, which will be shared among 49,425 dairy farmers, includes the dairy pro-duction payments of the United States Department of Agriculture. The payments, figured at the lesser of the 55 and 65-cent rates applicable • in the metropolitan milkshed, are worth $2,897,764.25.

The yield of $17,792,034.28 from the pool itself is a triple-decked item representing the value of the milk at the uniform price, $17,-123,152.38; butterfat premiums, $573,065.02, and location payments, $95,816.88.

The total income (from August milkings, in building up to the gross of nearly $20,690,000, eclipsed the record set in August last year when the yield, with the addition of all extras including the federal incentive, came to $18,-406,518.25.

The net gain of $2, 283,280.28 in total income is mainly the result of the larger volume of milk dairy-men produced. The pool intake was 12,7 per cent greater than a year ago when receipts at the 450 plants then forming the pool came to 467,658,224 pounds. A part of the rise in income flower from a 10-cent increase in the production payments.
