about few eg0
The sight of farm laborers
loading traditional' 50-pound
bales onto trailers is becoming
uncommon. The modern bales
are lifted by tractor-mounted
loaders onto, large flat-bed
trailers.
The balers, which have been
developed primarily to ease the
farmer's task of finding man-
power during the annual
haying season, and the bales
they produce, are being studied
by Dr. Al Robertson, a forage-
• use specialist, at the
'Agriculture Canada Researclf"4
Station here as part of a larger
project.
"One of our main concerns is
the quality of the hay in these
large bales at winter feeding
time," he says. "We want to
make sure that deterioration in
quality is no worse than that
experienced with conventional
methods of storing hay."
In addition to the giant
bales, tests are being carried
out at the research station this
winter on mechanical stackers,
which are also being used to
some extent on western farms.
They,too, were introduced to
alleviate the perennial shortage
of summer help.
Looking like a forage-crop
trailer, hay is blown into them
as they are pulled along the
swaths by a tractor. Some rely
on the bouncing of the trailer to
settle ,' and compact the hay,
while others use mechanical
means.
When the trailer is full, its
packed cargo is released ,onto
the field to be collected later by
a special, self-loading trailer.
Both devices obviously make
Melfort, Sask. Even the
Legendary Hercules might have
reeled a little• under' the strain
of present-day haying
operations in this area of nor-
theastern Saskatchewan.
Machines were moving
around the huge prairie fields
this past summer producing
bales weighing up to 1,500
pounds--too heavy for even
comic-book characters to han-
dle.
On-a44411CM4
haying a one-man operation.
Says Dr. Robertson: "The
research project we're conduc-
ting here this winter is really a
comparison of several different
forage systems--the large
balers, the mechanical stackers,
the standard-sized baler, silage
and artificially dried hay."
Tests have already indicated
shortcoming's with the large
baler and 'the mechanical
stacker.
While the large bales are
easily handled by
mechanization from the field to
storage and also shed rain-
water well in the field, hay
must be very dry before being
baled and it has been found
that a bale standing in the field
will soak up moisture from the
ground.
Additional storage space is
also needed because the bales
cannot be stacked. They must
be stored singly, and with a
space separating them.
The hay stacks made by the
mechanical stackers have been
found to settle and compact
ter they have been placed in
storage--again separated from
one another.
The settling process often
results in depressions in the
'roof, which tend to collect
rain and soak the hay. •
"The real test will be this
winter," says the researcher.
"We'll find out just what
quality of hay we'll be getting
from each type of forage."
The tests will involve
weighing and quality testing
the forage from each storage
system before feeding it to
animals at the research station
here.
Weight gains in the livestock
will he monitored to determine
such factors as palatability as
well as nutritional quality and
protein content.
Ontario had a huge surplus
of eggs for several weeks, but
now it seems there is a, shortage
of eggs, avvording to Huron
IVIPP Jack Riddell,
In the Ontario legislature
recently, Mr. Riddell asked
W.A. Stewart, Minister of
Agriculture and Food, "What
kind of games are we playing in
Ontario? Why is there a short
supply of eggs at the present
time when a week or so ago
there was such a surplus that
farmers were taking a 16 1/3
cent a dozen loss on the eggs?
And why are we trying to get
permission to import eggs from
the States when surely there
must be eggs in the other
provinces of Canada?"
Mr. Stewart replied, "I will
have to take the question as
notice, I haven't any idea."
At this Glorious and Holy time, we wish for.all mankind the great gifts
of peaCe and joy, faith arid love, May our spirits be uplifted, and our
hearts filled with happineSs and contentment, as we cherish anew the
glorious message and meaning of Christmas. For the confidence and
loyalty of those whom we are privileged to serve, we wish to express
deepeSt gratitude*
