A story in killing trees on the sly. My grand parents had a large back yard that was my Grandmothers job to mow with an electric push mower with a long cord or cords. A volunteer black walnut tree started to grow in the fence line between the yard and barn yard. When it got to the point it would drop walnuts in the fall my Grandmother started to want my Grandfather to pull it out. He would not and said he wanted to let it grow. The tree had grown to about eight to ten inches at the trunk base. It then slowly died. It puzzled my Grandfather and he spoke often about what could have killed it. Several years after my Grandfather had died while visiting my Grandmother she told about the tree and how she hated to pick up the walnuts while mowing. So when my Grandfather would not do anything about it she filled an oil squirt can with gas and would empty it around the base of the tree and then refill it with oil and put it back. It took a couple of years but it soon stopped dropping walnuts for her to pick up.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
