half and hearty at 83 continued from page one i tunny to obtain some money as hard t ash was few and far between in open ing up a homestead mr shanks was no exception except he stuck in 1889 na decided to give grain buying a whirl ind he did stretching a supposedly temporary thing right up until 1941 from 188a to 1606 as far as we know he worked for the late nick bowrf and tbe oguvie flour mills in 1906 mr shanks came over to the northern obviously he liked the business not onry for its worth for witto fanning it made a completely busy year in his time he has handled about ft 000000 bushels of grata 9 or 10 general man ager and 10 superintendent natur ally enottrh these yeers of farming and bcytnt hare left ttwsr linirepekni beliefs that cannot be classed a merely ideas practical application has flprt some head work hasn t been applied mr shanks be- hees a farmer should have his next season s activities and machinery ready the fall before the cardinal point in preparation is seed and mr shanks was always on the look out for good seed today he grows more buihels per acre and better grain than he did 60 years ago and he has ever lost a crop grain buying wasn t just another job to mr shanks he gloried in the handling of grain but there was a bit of a missionary in his make up to begin with he believes the elevator company had a part and a service to provide in agriculture and he as a re- presentatrre could be a part of it beng a farmer he knew a farmers mind and outlook and that to mr shanks is a grand requisite in grain buying farmers are no different to people m other businesses a they like to talk shop especially with someone who shows an interest and uodetrtandtaf orain buyers he believes can become a clearing house at problem and ideas to an good uuf mr aunts main p was good eeed and with out a dot he ha don i job in hi oommuntty ijooktag back orer the bring an actual reauaatton of the tact changes of the grain business the chantrcs were
