I think the four big guys are the aforementioned AGCO Cum, John Deere. Case IH and Ford New Holland. AGCO Corp. has taken over Allis-Chalmers, Massey tractors and Hesson hay-making equipment as well as White-New Idea. Those of us who have been around the farm scene fur too many years to recall can remember when Massey-Harris farm equipment ruled the Canadian roost. The two families were pioneers in Canada and the Massey name rebounded in cultural circles for many years.

Great names are disappearing In his book, What's Past is Prologue, Vincent Massey wrote: "Nothing touched me quite so much as this comment in a Canadian newspaper: 'Hc made the Crown Canadian.' It was Loo generous a tribute; but that was what I had tried to do." Until I read that confession in his book, I had always seen him as an austere, unapproachable monarchiu, The uatement warmed his personna for me. As a kid growing up in small-town Ontario, I remember the big Massey-Harris threshers. They were huge machines. half a block long, it seemed to a skinny little boy First would some the big steammllers, as we called them. Quite often they were the product of Waterloo Manufacturing with huge rear wheels of metal that chugged along the highways and byways.

Too bad, isn't it, that these names that once were part of our heritage are disappearing? The first tractor my granddad owned was an International Harvester. He maintained it was the best machine he had ever owned because it never failed to stan even on the coldest -- or hottest -- days. Seeing the Steamroller. the thresher and the water wagon moving slowly and majestically along the road was a great thrill to youngsters of the day. ll meant, of course, huge meals in farmhouses as the host farmer and his wife fed the threshing When he lost the farm at the height of the Great Depression, he had tears in his eyes when the tractor went under the auctioneer's hammer. Like most Brits, though, he bounced back as a grower of flowers and soon had a thriving business although his wife, my grandmother, was the brains behind the business. metal wheels.

She kept the books in her head and knew far more about his business than he did. I think this happened often in those days; another thing that women do nor get enough credit for.
