Seaforth district student

Seaforth Public School
Calgary has its Husky Tower,
Seattle its Space Needle and
Tokyo its famous ,television tow-
er. •
As towers go, Melfort, Sask.
• is not to be outdone.
' Not that you'll find its tower
rising above' 'the iiiSh‘ 'pealtie
parklands, visible from miles
away. It's more sophisticated
and practical than . a tourist att-
raction.
It's a hay drying tower --
and it belongs to' Agriculture
Canada's Research Stationlocat-
ed just south of town.
"As far as I know, there's
only one other like it in Canada,"
said Dr. Stan Beacom, station
director, "And that belongs to
Agriculture Canada in-Quebec."
The tower is an experimental
• model, but it has proven itself
so well that it's ready for on-
farm service less than three
years -after the idea first reach-
ed the Melfort station.
"We picked up the idea from
a European agricultural maga-.
zine," said Dr. Beacom. •
"Engineering Research Ser-
vices in Ottawa took up our sug-
gestion and by July of last year
they had a tower ..constructed at
the station , ready for testing."
The tower has a 25 foot diam-
eter circular roof, cone-shaped
similar to the roof of a -metal
• granary; The roof is suspended
between three upright "I" beams
bolted to concrete footings. It
can be raised Or lowered along
• the 45 foot high beams by three
winches.
Normal. . chopped-•forage is
blown into the tower through the
.peak of the roof and spread to
the outside of the tower by a re-
volving- double auger supported
just beneath the roof.
A 4.5 foot diameter plug or
"bung" hangs from the roofdawn
the center of the stack. As the
hay is blown in and spread, the
bung prevents it from stacking
in the center. When the roof is
raised, a ceptral • vertical duct
is 'left in the stack as the bung
lifts with the roof.
A six foot metal and woven
wire "skirt" attached to the
roof gives an initial' outer wall
to the tower to hold in the hay.
However, as the hay builds up
and the roof is raised, the skirt
lifts with it, leaving the outer
edges of the hay exposed. The
wall of the stack remains re-
markably vertical.
At ground level, a plywood
• duct leads from the outside of the
stack to the central duct. An
oil-fired dryer is attached to the
plywood duct and the warm air
is forced in to the center•of the
stack, up the duct left by the
bung until it hits the bung itself,
4' and then is forced outward
through the hay carrying the
moisture with it. •
"There's nothing unique ab-
out the parts; they're simply put
together. in a unique combina-
tion," said Dr. Beacom.
And a 'pretty effective corn-
bination.
"As the hay ,dries, you can
actually see the moisture dripp-
ing. from the outside of the tower.
When the dripping stops, you
know the hay is dry," Dr. Bea-
com said.
.. •
To remove the hay from the
tower, the buhg is taken from the
top of the central duct, the dou-
ble auger under the roof revers-
ed, and the hay moves into the
center of the tower,to drop down
the -duct. A conveyer, through
the bditom 'plywood duct 'catches
the hay and moves it out.
"A second conveyor can lift
the hay into wagons or portable
feeders, but we think the best
arrangement is to take it direct-
ly into a grinder-mixer or a
feeding bunk right at the tower.
"Anything that avoids labor
and handling makes for a more
economical operation," he said.
• And speaking of economics,
what's the probable price of the
new drying tower?
"We've estimated a cost of
about $6,000, not including the
cost of the dryer but including a
-reasonable labor charge which
the farmer would save by build-
ing it himself.
"Costs could-..be cut some-
what, but we're not counting on
that until the engineers take a
careful look at some minor de-
tails."
During the past summer,
crested wheatgrabs, brome- al-
falfa and sweetclover were dried
in layers in the tower. Moisture
contents into the tower reanged
from very low up to 50 per cent.'
About 80 tons of "wet" forage
were dried.
"'You'd expect difficulty in
obtaining uniform drying with
that kind of a mixture, " Dr,
Beacom -said.
"Hut the results were excel-
lent."
Another test is planned for
this summer and there are a
number of farmers who expect
to return to follow up their in-
terest in the new tower. Although
the scientists plan a little more
research, on things like the sus-
pended uger syStem and the
feed value of the dried hay, the
tower is virtually "ready to go."
' The dried hay from the tower
Was fed to young steers and
sheep in the winter of 1971-72
and was htghly.palatable. "This'
was undoubtedly due to the re-
tention of-most of-the leaf mater-
ial during harvesting and the
lack of "weathering" during the
curing process.," Dr. Beacom
said.
"We'll have to show farmers
this will pay in terms of their
total operation. But as it stands
now, there's not a serious fault
anywhere in the tower, "he said.
"It's just sitting here, wait-
ing for the farmer who thinks it
fits his operation to pick up the
plans 'and build one."

By Margie Whyte
I've got a great summer a-
head of me - doing volunteer
work with Crossroads in the
Phillipine Islands. Our orienta-
tion is in London, Ont. for five
days beginning May 25th, and
then we leave directly for our
projects. There are about 75
young. people from all over Cana-
da going to about 40 different
projects all over the world.
My companion is Heather
Blair of SaSkatoon, whom I shall
meet at orientation. Originally,
we were to be going to an agricul-
tural village called Pugo; but
plans have been slightly changed
and we will be now staying in the
Negrito (minority group) settle-
„Anent :Zambales. • This area
is very rernote, with no public
transportation,,where people de-
pend on rides with logging trucks,
horses and four-wheel drive ve-
hicles, the latter being rented
from the nearest Barrio which is
23 km. away.
The Negrito is one of the
smaller of the minority tribes
within the Philippines and thus,
the cultural gap is that much
broader. Communication will be
a bit difficult, as few of the
Negritoes speak English, Food
will also be a problem as one
cannot expect the Western stom-
ach to readily welcome most of
the 'foods of the Negrito people.
He lives mostly on comotes
(sweet potatoes), birds, fish and
insects! We will likely have to
buy our food at the nearest barr-
io!
Since the main purpose of
Crossroads is cross cultural
communication, we are to live,,
learn and work with the villagers
as-best we can. It appears that
my project in the Philippines will
be a- most educational,and nur-
turing experience. One's adap-
tability will certainly be put to
the extreme testi I am sure we
will discover the joys of estab-
lishing a real relationship with a
culture of the typical Lowland
Filipinos. I am really looking
forward to this wonderful oppor-
tunity.
I am really very grateful to
all my sponsors who helped me
raise my bun whicfCeach Cross-
roaderis expected to contribute,
in order to participate in this
program. A real big thanks goes
out to SDHS Students' Council,
Con-trolling
crabgrass .
There are two different types
of crabgrass that .can appear in
your home lawn - a hairy and a
smooth type. . Both kinds are
found where the turf is thin and
where there is lots of sunlight.
Cultural measures such as mow-
ing with the blades set high, ade-
quate water and the use of ferti-
lizer to improve the turf will do
much to eliminate crabgrass,
says John Hughes, horticultural
specialist. However, other con-
trol methods may be necessary.
Action to control crabgrass
should be taken early, since the
crabgrass seedlings usually ern-
erge by the middle of May. Chem-
icals such as Azak, Betasan and
Tupersan, when „epplied early,
will give good control. Crab-
grass seedlings can be recog-
nized by their broad, hairy, shar-
ply-pointed leaves. Hand-weed-
ing may eradicate many of them
at this time. A late fall applica-
tioh of Betasan will also glee
excellent control.

ditor's note) Canadian Cross-
roads International is a private
voluntary orgaidzation engaged in
• promoting international under-
standing by offering qualified
Canadians the opportunity to
live and work abroad for 3-6
months.
Work assignments in the host
country attempt to satisfy alocal
need but serve a more important
fulictiork, ae,thp, fp,cus for .a learn-
ing experience Involving as many
aspects of life as possible.
Special emphasis, however, is
placed on the social service and
development programmes of the
country.
Participants are chosen o n
the basis of their emotional mat-
urity, social awareness, adapta-
bility, range of interests and
past experiences,, motivation, and
understanding of the aims and
philosophy of Crossroads. In
addition to completing application
forms and obtaining references,
potential Crossioaders must have
a medical examination and. a
-psychological test.
„ Previous Crossroads pro-.
jects have taken place in Africa,
.India and the West Indies and
have included: yoeth work in
Congoi agriculture and nutrition
surveys in India; audio-visual
equipment repair in Ghana; a
textile printing co-operative .In
Lesotho; recreational leadership
in Barbados; medical pro-
grammes in West Africa and con-
struction in India.
where possible, assign-
ments are made with the Cross-
roader's area preference, in
mind: An attempt is also made
to place people in situations
where special skills or inter-
ests, if any,- may he used.- Al-
though several, Crossroaders
may occasionally be assigned
to the same area or project,
each is independent and is not e
considered to be part of a group.
FUNERAL

Brock, Clifton . Brock, Fred
Brock, Ronald Oke, John Brock
and Lorne Lawson. Flowerbear-
ors were Wilson McCartney and
Arthur Nicholeon.
This places special demands on
the , person and requires mat-
urity, responsibility and self-
reliance. Crossroads believes
that a participant's committment
does not end with the termina-
tion of the project and return to
Canada. Each is expected to use
the knowledge' and experience
he has gained in the interests
of communication and social de-
velopment in Canada or abroad
in whatever ways hold special
interest and seem most appro-
priate.
Participants are expected to
contribute a portion of the total
cost. This is set at $200.00 for
programmes in the West Indies
and $500.00 in the case of Africa
or Asia. They are also,respon-
sible for the cost of the medical
examination, the required inocu-
lations, passport, and travel to .
and from the point of departure in
Canada. Expenses from the time
of arrival at Orientation are the
,responsibility of Crossroads and
include transportation to the pro-
ject and back to the point of
departure by the most direct
route, lodging, meals, and alim-
Ited, amount pf gavel 'within the
'goat country; No salary is pre-
vided. All personal expenses are
the responsibility of the partici-
pant.
