NEW BEAN EYES—W: G. Thompson points to the work-.
ing parts of a single unit. Beans leave the grooved con-
veyor belt near the top of the machine, fall through the
electric:eye viewing mechanism and follow their one of
the Icing plates below—the good beans falling straight
down, the, off-grade beans following the bean plate into
the discharge spout for culls.

AUTOMAT age of automatic machines comes a step closer to the farm with
the introduction of electric-eye sorting machines, now operating 24 hour's a day grad-
ing OrttariO white pea beans at a Blenheim mill. One operator handles the complete
bank of 24 machines—to be increased to 48 later' this year--which will "look at"

Buys Top Bull
Roeland Reflection S i g n e t,
five-year-old Holstein bull, has
been sold by J. W. Norman, Wa-
terford, to Bissett Bros„ Gode-
rich 'for $2,500,00, This richly
bred bull was twice grand cham-
pion at the Norfolk Black and
White Day held in connection
with Simeoe fair, winning these
supreme honors in 1954 and 1956. He was also junior champion
in 195'2. He has been officially
classified as excellent, the high-
est rating obtainable for body
conformation.
Signet is a true aristocrat of
the Holstein breed. His sire is
the noted extra bull, A.B.C. Re-
flection Sovereign, who has been
three times named all-Canadian,
and who has seven all-Canadian
offspring. Three times the get-
of-sire by this bull has been
named all-Canadian . and .all-
American.
The 'dam of Signet is Roeland
Rag Apple Princess with records
of 21,569, 23,915, and 22,167 lbs.
,railk. She has twice produced
ka excess of 1,000 lbs. butterfat.
Princess is a daughter of the fa-
mous Roeland Rag Apple Lilly,
who is the world champion for
305-day production of butterfat
on twice-a-day milking, with her
record of 1,089 lbs, fat from
23,041 lbs. milk. Lilly is classi-
fied excellent for type, has three
times exceeded the 1,000 lb. but-
terfat mark, and has seven lac-
tation lifetime record of 145,038
lbs. milk and 6,407 lbs. fat.
Mr. Norman will continue to
use the services of Signet artifi-
cially.
"Parity for Agriculture," will be
the subject for discussion for
January -at the Farm Forum
meetings and will bp considered
from three different angles:
"What is it"? "How can it be
brought about"? and "Is it
enough"?,.
According to the Farm Forum
Guide parity means that the in-
come of the farmer, measured
in ability to purchase the goods
and services which his family
needs, should be fair and just
when measured against the in-
come of other groups in the popu-
lation,
Fairfield Farm Forum
The Fairfield Forum Met at the
home 'of Mr. and Mrs. Murray
Elliott with 24 in attendance.
Thirteen families represented,
felt that the returns a farmer re-
ceives are below a fair relation-
ship with those in other occupa-
tions.
Furthermore there is a large
investment in operating a farm
and such necessary items as ma-
chinery, seed, and fertilizer and
costs of farm, operation are con-
stantly rising, regardless of sell-
ing price of farm products. This
price fluctuates • constantly so
cannot be reckoned with by the
farmer in his plans.
The next meeting will; be held
at the home of Mr. gad Mrs.
Russell King,
Parr Line Forum
Parr Line Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stew-
art, Blackwell with a small atten-
dance owing to snow-blocked
roads..
All members agreed that farm-
ers' returns are far below those
in most other occupations. It was
pointed out that the prices farm-
ers have to pay for goods and
services is far beyond the level
of commodity prices he' receives.
Further proof of inequality of
farm income is the influx of
farmers working in other occupa-
tions which prbvide a more lucre_
tive return for their efforts.
This forum had the pleasure of
a surprise visit from Mr. and
Mrs. Oscar Mitters of Revere
Forum, in North Middlesex.
Following the disctiSsion a num-
ber of games of euchre were en-
joyed, Winners were Mrs. Charles
Robinson,• Mrs. °Scar Mitters,
Gordon Love and Wilfred Mmm-
semi.
The next meeting Will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gor-
don Love,
Hillcrest Farm Forum
Members of Hillerest Forum
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Denting, with six fami-
lies represented.
They also were agreed that
farmers' returns Were below a
fair relationship With those in,
other occupations. One proof of
this is the fact that farmers ate
leaving: their farms to take post-
tient in the town nt city.
They report that there is too
great a difference in whit farm-
ers receive forheir , produce in
ebrnPatisen to what they have to
pay for their purchases.

The age of automation, which
is the talk of industry, is knock-
ing on the farmers' door with
promise of new methods of
handling crops, and new and
larger markets as 'a result.
A concrete example of this is'
the battery of 24 electric-eye
sorting machines which went
into operation at the first of the
Year in the white bean eleva-
tor of W. G. Thompson & Sons
Ltd., at Blenheim.
Already the firm has 24 ma-
chines on order for installation
later this year.
These electronic marvels, each
of which looks at 20 million
beans'—one at a time—every 24
hours, accurately sort beans to
a tolerance never before pos-
sible on a large scale.
It is expected that the super-
ior grade of beans that can be
offered with these machines will'
mean increased markets for
Canadian white pea beans, both
to canning companies—who are
most exacting purchasers in
their requirements—and to the
thousands of retail grocers
across Canada who are looking
for top-quality, beans in "cello"
packages of one and two pounds
for their shelves.
The electronic eyes mean not
only a higher standard of prod-,
uct, but they can also be util-
ized to process damaged crops
that might otherwise be fit for
little else than pig-feed. With
not parity income for farmers.
Other workers make much more
money in a shorter working
period. •
They suggested that most work-
ers have a definite wage while
the fernier doesn't know what he
will get from week to week.
Seven families were represent-
ed at the meeting held at the
home of ,Mr. and Mrs: Donald
Bray. Next Monday the meeting
will be at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Roland Williams.

wife should not become a cus-
tomer for dry beans in increas-
ing numbers. We have concrete
proof of , this in the very sub-
stantial increase in our pre-
packaging business so far this
season."
While the United States is the
centre of "automation" in in-
dustry, it is interesting to note
that -these automatic machines
came from England which leads
the world in design and manu-
facture of such electronic equip-
ment.
The machines are a complex
bundle of electronic engineering,
anti- reqUire .highly skilled tech-
nicians tcr make repairs., Aside
from repairs, they will operate
continuously 24 hours 'a day,
seven days a week with only one
attendant. Beans are delivered
automatically to the eyes, and
removed by Vibratory convey-
ors to storage bins for final bag-
ging over automatic scales.
° What happens to the beans
can be seen in the accompany-
ing pictures. Near the top of
the unit is a grooved rubber
belt. From this the beans, fol-
lowing one another as closely
as beads on a string, are pro-
jected into space, falling through
the centre of the electric eye
just below,
In this unit is a photo-electric
cell which views the passing
parade. As long as the beans
are white; the beans fall on
down along the line of the
straight Plate below, at right,
and into the conveyor.
When an off-grade bean comes
along, quick as an electrical
impulse can be—remember elec-
,tricity moves at the rate of 186,-
000 miles per second,—two little
prongs projecting near the path
of the falling bean give • it a
20,000 volt electrical charge.
The "shocked" bean is then at-
plate which has an opposite
tractedpectrically to the bent
charge: on it, because opposite
electecal charges attract each
other) and following a curved
path, falls into the conveyor for
cull or off-grade beans.
It is possible to use the elec-
tric • eyes to sort yellow-eye
beans by placing in front of the
photo-electric cell a filter of the
proper shade. 'As long as the
bean conforms to the shade of
the filter, it will. pass, but off-
color beans will be "shocked"
and swung into the discard.
Dust is the greatest enemy of
the machines, and an elaborate
system of air exhaust conduits
operates continuously. There is
a pick-up in each machine, vis-
ible just above the conveyor
in to
A young fartrier 'from Smith-
ville, in Lincoln County, •Satur-
day told nearly 800 others that
newcomers should be integrated
rather than assimilated—and he
did it so well that he won the
provincial public-speaking cham-
pionship of the Ontario Junior
Farmers' Association.
David Stager, a graduate of
Ontario Agricultural College, who
specializes in poultry production,
told the Junior Farmers' confer-
ence, at the King Edward Hotel
that Canadians should accept the
culture •of the New Canadians as
well as the individuals, instead of
clinging to the melting pot idea
that would turn the newcomers
into French or Anglo-Canadians.
"It. would be simple," he said,
"if immigrants to English-speak-
ing Canada came from the Brit-
ish Isles, the United States or
other parts of the Commonwealth,
andimmigrants to French Can-
ada came from France, Belgium
or Switzerland, but that is not the
case."
Canadians, he felt, should talk
to the newcomers and try to
understand them. They should
learn the .background of immi-
grants, and they would soon dis-
cover that "they're not just a lot
of DP's."
He listed personal 'experiences
in which he had talked to recent
arrivals from Europe and dis-
covered a former cabinet minis-
ter, professors and professional
men of all types doing manual
labor in order to make a start in
a new land.
The ethnic press and language
organizations, he said, were play-
ing anNimportant part in helping
immigrants to get started and to
get to know Canada, with the aid
of others who-had arrived earlier.
Canadians should not look
askance at such organizations,
since they played a vital role
during the first few years any
New Canadians spent in the coun-
try.
He mentioned especially Hun-
garians now arriving in fairly
large numbers and said that they,
like all others, had cultural con-
tributions to make to their adopt-
