Machinery parts travel slow
The biggest problem in im-
proving service of farm
machinery parts from manufac-
turers to farmers is transporta-
tion, according to lial Wright,
secretary-manager of the On-
tario Farm Machinery Board.
Speaking to the,annual meeting
of the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture in Clinton, Mr.
Wright said that although
manufacturers are trying to im-
prove their parts service all the
time, they are hampered by poor
transportation.
He said railway express ser-
vices were no longer interested
in carrying small items and there
are so many trucking companies
in the province that scheduling
becomes a problem. A possible
answer, he said, is the new bus
parcel express depot in Toronto
which can speed small parcels to
their destination faster than
other means of transportation.
Companies shipping in parts
from the United States, he said,
often run into delays because
customs officials work only 9 to 5
hours and parcels can be held up
overnight or over a weekend,
Mr. Wright said that since the
new Farm Machinery Board was
formed in June most of the work

proved a resolution to go to the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture's annual meeting
later this month, asking for a list
of emergency parts personnel and
their telephone numbers to be
distributed to OFA members so
has involved investigating
farmers complaints, AU but two
or three of the 80 complaints
have been resolved, he said.
Members of the five man board
have also toured farm manufac-
turing plants in Canada and the
U.S. to see what facilities the
companies had for parts. In one
plant, he said, the parts depart-
ment covered 25 acres under one
roof.
He said that most problems in
companies were not parts
problems but people problems
Often a parts man with a com-
pany, he said, wasn't concerned
about the fact that a combine
somewhere may be broken and
needing a part, but was only
interested in Friday night and
pay day.
He said that anyone who has a
complaint should submit it in
writing to the board. Mr, Wright
said that he would then talk to all
parties concerned and if
necessary get them together to
work out their problems.
He stressed that preventive
maintenance would often prevent
machines from breaking down
just when they were most
needed, but if an emergency did
arise he said the farmer should

Final pay
on '71 beans
Close to thousand
attend night classes
Many problems
Several new classes will be
beginning in January '73. Those
already suggested are rug
hooking, golf instruction and in-
terior decorating, with silage gas
Final payment for the 1971
white bean crop has been sent to
producers. This payment
represents $1.77 per
hundredweight, $10.53 per cwt.
In spite of adverse weather
conditions throughout the whole
growing season a 1972 crop of
between 1.7 and 1.8 million hun-
dredweight is anticipated.
According to a white bean
newsletter the 1972 crop has been
one of the most difficult to
produce and handle in recent
years.
The final crop report for 1971
shows domestic sales of 474,691
cwt, export, 980,552 cwt, and seed
94,810 cwt for a total volume of
1,550,053 hundredweight. The
yelloweye bean crop for that year
was 19,390 cwt plus 800 cwt seed,
totaling 20,190 cwt.
The white bean inventory
received to date in 1972 is 1,373,-
141 cwt. and the yelloweye inven-
tory 568,000 cwt.
The United States department
of agriculture report for October
shows a yield of 1,200 pounds per
acre in the Michigan crop, The
estimated acreage of white beans
is approximately 560,000 acres.
This would result in an ap-
proximate production of 5,720,000
cwt.
This is up from the 5,209,000
cwt. in 1971 and 5,163,000 cwt. in
1970. Producer price since
harvest in Michigan has been in
the $7,75 to $8.00 per hun-
dredweight range.
CCAT second
at Royal Winter
A team of four students from
Centralia College of Agricultural
Technology placed second in the
Livestock Evaluation Competi-
tion held recently at the Royal
Winter Fair, Toronto.
Members of the team, all
senior year students in the
Agricultural Business Manage-
ment course, were David Drum-
mond, Monkton, Gordon
MacKay, Embro, Jim McLagan,
Mitchell, and Douglas McRae,
Denfield.
The competition, held annually
between Agricultural Colleges in
Ontario and nearby States, in-
volves practical exercises in
selecting and culling dairy cattle,
beef cattle, pigs and sheep
(Highest scoring individual stu-
dent in the competition was
Douglas McRae, from Centralia
College and he received the C. D,
Graham Memorial Trophy.)
The team was coached by Mr.
D. Jamieson, head of the
livestock Division at Centralia
College.
About 990 are returning to
school one night each week to
attend classes in subjects of their
own interest ranging from art
and auto mechanics to welding
and women's physical fitness. At
the same time last year only 709
had registered.
Several new classes have been
added to those which have been
available in former years.
Sewing and typing continue to be
two of the most popular courses,
but their position is being
rivalled by gourmet cooking, li-
quid embroidery and hair
dressing or personal grooming.
Judo, karate, golf and badminton
classes all have large
enrolments. Although several
students still attend evening
classes in bookkeeping,
shorthand, computer program-
ming and grade XIII subjects for
credit toward a certificate, the
majority are interested in leisure
time activities such as ceramics,
oil painting, pohotography and
upholstery.
This year, for the first time,
two classes in tailoring are being
taught at Seaforth District High
School. These resulted from a
request from a group in that
area. The Huron County Board of
Education had indicated a
willingness to provide a class in
any area where such interest is
shown and 'an instructor is
available.
An unusually high incidence of
silage gas problems is reported
this year. Due to the fact that
corn has been harvested when
immature, and the poor crop has
been brought in and stored while
still wet there is fear that nox-
ious silage gases will affect even
more farmers this fall.
"We have just received reports
of people in the area being over-
come by silage gas," a member
of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food stated.
"One man is in serious condition
as a result of being overcome."
Generally a yellowish—brown
vapor, silage gas is extremely
toxic, It is heavier than air and
will flow down through doors. •
This year, more than ever,
safety experts recommend:
—never enter a silo alone, be
sure someone is with you in case
,of fumes.
—use an oxygen supply and mask
when removing doors or climbing
a silo
—call the doctor immediately if
exposed. Paralysis and death can
be the results of exposure.
The Fact that our 12th-grade
English textbook is a generation
behind the times became obvious
in a recent classroom incident. I
was instructing the class in ad-
verbial clauses, and my face
turned beet-red as I read this
sentence to a room full of giggling
seniors: "After I had taken the
pill, I was ready for bed."
