NW 24 196E Dublin r GivesNewEnplo Employment for at least an- other forty people has become available in Dublin as a result of the completion of new evis- ceration facilities at Dublin Creamery and Poultry Packers Ltd. The new facilities are deliv- ering at the rate of 800 birds an hour, but when installation difficulties are ironed out, pro- duction will increase to 1200 birds an hour, according to Jack Wells, the plant manager. Located in the heart of the prime poultry producing coun- ties of Perth and Huron, the new poultry processing facili- ties provide a year-round mar- ket for the production (Cares poultry farms. While turkeys processed in the new plant come from areas across this part of Ontario, almost all the broil- ers and hens which Dublin handles, come from district farms, according to Mr. Wells From the time the bird ar- rives at the covered unloading dock until it reaches the cool- ing room takes about 10 min- utes. After Cooling for a little more than an hour, the care- fully plucked and cleaned broil- er, hen or turkey, is ready for shipment to Toronto, where final packing takes place. The finished birds are held at an even temperature during the trip and are shipped in tanks of water with ice. Every step in the eviscerating process is under the watchful eye of government inspectors. First impression on seeing the al- most completely automatic op- eration is of cleanliness as the trim white -garbed employees go about their duties. Birds arrive at the unloading dock in crates and are removed and hung on shackles on a slow- ly moving conveyor. Within seconds, each has been killed by an electric sticker and is carried by the conveyor through a series of scalding tanks. Next step is the automatic pickers, which by means of a series of ingenious rubber roll- ers, remove most of the feathers from the birds. As the birds leave the pickers they pass by open gas-fired flames and are singed. The first hand operation is in the pinning process, when white -clad operators inspect the birds and pull out pin feathers that have resisted the automa- tic pickers. The conveyor carries the birds into the evisceration line where they are opened, cropped, cleaned out and the giblets re- moved. A vacuum machine applied to each bird ensures everything has been removed and thor- oughly cleans the interior. Hand washing is next, followed by a series of automatic wash- es. All this has taken about 10 minutes, and the bird is now ready for the cooling line.

Three fall treatments were tried in 1959 and five treat- ments in the spring of 1960, both seasons being moist and favorable. Fall .sowing of clean, non- stratified seed was best for spe- cies of Rosa, Syringa, Elaeagnus, Sambucus, Lonicera and Malus. After 30 to 60 days of stratifica- f ioi , fall sawing .of see(l wee best for species. of Sorbus, P.run- us and .Aesculus, as wall as for the whole :berries of Louicera. Spring --sowing of..nonstrath. fied seed was best for Prinsepia, and after 90 days of stratifica- tion, for Shepherdia and Hip- pophae. None of the eight treatments promoted satisfactory germina- tion erminetion within one year for seed of Viburnum, Crataegus or Coton- easter species. Spring sowing after 180 days of stratification Was the best for Juniper seed; it germinated the year after sowing.
