,MOBILE FEED MILL AT WINTHROP
BRINGS PROCESSING TO FARM
A new farm service that brings
a complete feed processing plant
right into customers' farmyards
has been started in this area by
Winthrop Mobile Feed Service, of
Winthrop.
in announcing the new operation,
Don Horne, owner, said that the
new "mill on wheels" will provide
a service for local farmers and
feeders who want to utilize their
own grains and roughages for feed-
ing livestock and poultry. One of
the main advantages of the new
service, he said, is that it brings
the mill to the farmer instead of
the farmers having to take his grist
to the mill.
The mobile unit, first of its type
in the Seaforth area, is built by
the Daffin Manufacturing Com-
pany, of Lancaster, Pa. It consists
of a complete feed mill that grinds
all farm grown grains and rough -
ages according to the farmer's
specifications, mixes the ground
material with feed concentrates,
and blends in fresh liquid molass-
es to produce any desired formula.
Mr. Borne said in the past it has
been necessary for farmers to load
their grains, truck them to the
feed mill, unload them, wait until
the feed was prepared, load it
again, take it back to the farm,
and unload it into feed bins. By
eliminating all that feed handling,
the new mobile farm service saves
feeders a tremendous amount of
time, labor, and money, he said.
Mr. Horne and E. E. Hase, who
will operate the mill, are attend-
ing a course on mobile feed grind-
ing in Lancaster, Pa, They are
expected to return this weekend
with their new unit.
The service will also enable
farmers to maintain an uninter-
rupted supply of fresh, productive
rations, said Mr. Horne, since the
mobile mill will• serve farms on a
regular route schedule.

THE W. D. 11OP11ER and Sons well drilling firm, Seaforth; helped relieve the
water sfiortage probl m on a Stratford farm last week. A new . well on the farm
of K. J. Switzer, RR 3, Stratford, made Thursday a red-letter day. The farm has
been short of water since last fall, but the new well will provide more than en-
ough water. Here, Neil Hopper, Seaforth, left, and Bill Brugger, Seaforth, centre,
put the last pipe in place before connecting the pump. Mr. Switzer, right, has been
hauling water from Black Creek, near his farm, since the fall:.
SEAFORTH WELL -DRILLERS ARE BUSY
AS WATER SHORTAGE THREATENS
With a water shortage reported
in parts of Huron, Perth and Bruce
Counties, and farmers claiming
wells have dried up as a result
of" the overall lowering of the
water table, a new explanation of
the situation comes from a Sea -
forth well driller. "
Neil Hopper, RR 2, Seaforth,
said he didn't think the situation
is "too serious yet." Commenting
on the problems, he said many of
the reports made a person think
the country was going to "dry up
and blow away."
He pointed out that it is only
the shallow dug wells that are go-
ing dry. Mr. Hopper blamed the
lack of water more on the fact
that farmers are using more wa-
ter today because they are carry-
ing, "more than twice" the stock
they did several years ago.
The well driller was comment-
ing ,on the shortage of water fol-
lowing drilling a well in the strat-
ford area, Mr. Hopper and his
assistant, William Brugger, took
one week to drill a 208 -foot well
on a Stratford farm. According to
the firm, this well will stand the
most severe drop in the water
table.
This situation is said to be due
to the long dry spell from last
July on through the fall months,
to the "January thaw" which
didn't really arrive this year, and
now, to the continued long spell
of frigid weather.
Hensall Warns Consumers
Hensall Public Utilities Commis-
sion has appealed to all domestic
and commercial water users,,, to
avoid unnecessary consumption.
In the past week, commission of-
ficials said, several private wells
in the. village have gone dry, indi-
cating a shortage of ground ma-
ter. Farmers in surrounding rural
areas have been hauling water for
several months.
A spokesman pointed out there
is ample water in the town sys-
tem but some restraint on the part
of consumers would ensure the
strength of the wells.
