Keeping in step with the techno­ logical revolution which has taken place in other phases of farming, haying has now been streamlined ■by the introduction of completely mechanized outfits which reduce cutting, hauling and storing to a minimum of human labor. (During a recent tour of the state of Vermont to study the latest pas­ ture improvement work, technical representatives of the agricultural chemicals division of -Canadian In­ dustries Limited had the oppor-; tunity of seeing modern hay male- j .ing machinery in action. They sa.w j the cutting operation performed by ' a “self-powered” harvester pulled by a tractor. This machine mows the stand­ ing hay and reduces it to one to two-inch lengths by means of; sharp blades on a revolving drum. Mounted on the rear, a conven- tional-type blower elevates the cut [ hay to a special wagon which is ; pulled alongside. The wagon boxes , are equipped with movable canvas I aprons for ease in unloading. jFrom the wagon the chopped i bay is fed steadily into a blower j (to elevate the feed to a hay mow | oi’ silo. This .blower is similar to j .an ordinary silo filler but has no ' knives.. When the hay crop is harvested j green it is stored in a silo for hay I ^silage with oat chop as a preserva-1 five at the rate of approximately j one and one-half bags per ton. If •dry feed is desired, tile crop is [ cut with a mower and cured in the j ■field. In this case a pack-up at-1 tachmen t is employed in front ot j the harvester. The same equipment may be Used to harvest corn.

Reduce Accident Rate on Farm , Agriculture is a decidedly haz­ ardous occupation. In comparison with other industries, the death rate of agriculture was exceeded only by that of mining. The death rate ’from accidents in agriculture was 5 8.2 per 100,000 population as compared with 1:2.8 for all other pursuits. Here are some of the other rates: Mining, 134.8; con- s-truction, 51.6; transportation and public utilities, 27.6; trade, 11.5; manufacturing, 8.0. , There are a nunrher of basic 'principles that must be considered in dealing t with the prevention of fdrm accidents. These are: Order­ liness, maintenance and repair, xshild protection, and habits and attitudes that aid safe practices. IS you observe these principles, yon can greatly reduce the danger of accidents. Your physical condition must also be considered in relation to the type of work in which you are engaged, impairment of eyesight or hearing, impairment of the heart or nervous system, poor mus* etflar co-ordination, conditions of fatigue and poor nutrition — all lehd to accidents and, therefore, , must be given thoughtful consid* I eration when you plan your work,. | It is a good idea always to weigh I tire comparative importance of the | chore with the possible conscquen- J The most common mental state awhleh leads to accidents, both on A number of young men from this community spent the week­ end at Grand Bend.

Mrs. Cliff Russell and Douglas have returned home after spending a week at Manitoulin Island. the farm and elsewhere, is that of inattention. Farm chores tend to become automatic and routine, and it is difficult, therefore, not to let the mind wander. Anger, nervous tension and fatigue are other men­ tal conditions that cause accidents. To become aware of these mental states and the likelihood of their producing accidents make one careful to avoid them. One of the principal reasons for the high death rate in agriculture as compared with that in industry, is the fact that industry can car­ ry on accident prevention activi­ ties through supervision to an ex­ tent that is practically impossible in agriculture. On the farm, the worker, in the majority of cases, is both the em­ ployer and employee ... a situa­ tion that naturally eliminates any semblance of supervision. For that reason, the farmer continues to perform many of his tasks in an unsafe manner and never corrects them because he does not recog­ nize the hazards himself, and no one calls them to his attention. The farmer, however, can exer­ cise supervision over those work­ ing with him —* members of his family or hired hands—and he will find that by a discussion of work ■ hazards and careful planning of work procedures, he can do much to help reduce this high accident | rate.

AndSomething to __ judging from the hundreds of letters we receive, it’s some­ thing to write about too — especially if you’re a pleased-as- punch Pontiac owner. Those who have driven Pontiac for years ... and they are legion ,.. tell us what their experience has told them . . . that the 1947 Pontiac is truly the finest Of the famous Silver Streaks. Those who have never driven Pontiac before, express the jubilant, unqualified delight of people who have at last found what they have long sought — plus value in the low-price field. To us, these letters are a constant source of satisfaction. The pride of ownership revealed in every word is only equalled by our pride in producing the 1947 Pontiac — a fine car made finer, The stack of orders piled tip for the new Pontiac are gratifying testi­ monials to the quality and beauty of this finest of the famous Silver Streaks, Unfortunately, so many orders also mean that many who choose Pontiac must wait, So if your car-wise head and heart say 'Pontiac' . . . your present car will give you better, safer service while you wait if you have it serviced by your Pontiac dealer. “I own and operate a taxi busi­ ness and many years of experi­ ence have taught me that Pontiac cars are the best in. quality, the lowest in operation expense.
