crop of corn that will, be harvested
this fall with the same equipment,
and stored in the silo, that will have
cleared out by that time. That is
proper use of equipment. That is
smart investment,
At these farms of Clayton and
Charlie Schnurr at Mildmay, and
their neighbours, Jerome Schmidt's,
you see this system at its best. This
year alone these three farms will
harvest 230 acres of grain, as well as
the hay, grass silage and corn, 1

First of all, how did they go about
it Vs Well, they used a new Case 12
foot swather in the field and they
cut the crop on Monday, putting the
12 feet of good Dawsons Golden
Chaff into the one windrow. This
was as dry as a cork, and all ready
to thresh. Then came the first step
in the operation. Clare Schnurr, the
son of Charlie, and a well-known
Mildmay Junior Farmer, was operat-
ing the forage-harvester. While I
am not recommending any type or
make of tractor or equipment, I am
going to outline this equipment as I
saw it, and by telling you the models
and makes, you will be best able to
judge for yourself how it will com-
pare with your present machinery.
The forage harvester is a CASE
Machine, a power take off outfit,
driven by a Case Model D tractor,
Standard Tread. The wagons were
hauled behind the harvester, and they
had about four or four and a half
foot solid sides, with automatic un-
loaders., attach to the rear of the
wagon and they operate under the
same principle as the table on a
manure spreader, only that they are
simply a canvas sheet that runs the
length of the wagon bottom, and lap
over the front when being loaded.
These are turned by a universal on
the forage blower at the barn. In
the field, it is very evident that this
dry wheat was easy to cut about four
or five inches long.
At this speed, with this length cut,
Clare was travelling in third gear,
about two thirds throttle, and the
motor wasn't working hard at all.
There was a ten acre field of good
wheat, and the one round on the 12
foot swath made a fair load, al-
though as he got farther into the
field he was taking a round and a
half,
Another tractor hauls the wagons
to and from the barn, and once the
wagon arrives at the barn, it is un-
loaded. A word about the set-up at
the barn first, The thresher and a
blower are operated by the same
tractor, a McCormick Deering W-6,
This tractor was driving the Water-
loo "Bell City" thresher with a 24-
inch cylinder on the drive belt, and
the forage blower on the power take
off mounted directly behind the trac-
tor on the gangway. The blower was
a Case machine with chain hopper
that folded out of the way when the
wagon came in, When the wagon is
past the feeder is lowered, the wagon
backed up to it, the unloading attach-
ment hooked up, .and away they
go. The back door is opened, and the
grain falls out on its own, with the
speed of the unloader regulated by
the man feeding the blower. T Stood
by the Machine while they unloaded
and timed theta at 12 minutes for
this load,
practically all the grain was
threshed in the wagon, and a let of
It Wee On the bottom of the load,
The blower pipe fretn the forage
blower arched ever the tractor and
rested on the end of the feeder, de,
positing the grain about hale way to
the baricl-eutter. knives. Only this
way there are no Wilda to cut. And
for the first time' in a. good few
years I saw wheat being threshed
whi/tit hearing a teed "Woof'' eve*
time a sheaf hit the cylinder. The
grain was going in evenly, arid
smoothly, and the thresher never
slowed down one iota. There was the
Schnurr's have a lot of land, and are
short of help. They have a lot of
cattle, and they need the straw. They
have several tractors among the
family, and they operate the ma-
chines themselves, which offers a
solution to the farmer. Look at to-
day's implement shed, and you'll find
a lot of them have threshers. Most
of them have tractors and wagons.
A little ingenuity will solve the
problem of unloading equipment, and
then, all you need is the forage
harvester blower. If you get the
forage harvester with both the pick-
up for windrows, and the row crops
set up you can use it for just about
every crop. At Clayton Schnurr's
farm I saw three of the crops that
had been harvested this year with
usual amount of dust flying, but you
don't have to stand in it at all.
What might interest the farmers
the most was this. There was no
wheat going over the decks and out I the blower. There was no. more than
the usual amount of chaff going back
up the return elevator and there had
been no alterations on the screens or
decks. There is a shredder on this
machine, but it isn't needed to cut
the straw, as it is already cut, The
bkaVer 'was denoeitinglIb'steb.W' in
the back of the straw shed, and the
grain blower was lifting the grain
into the granary very easily,
The other day when I was talking
to someone about the possibilities of
this system one old timer said.
"Well, don't they crush the grain at
all. There were a few knernels, but
no more than you would find in a
thresher that had the normal number
of teeth in the cylinder. And there
you have it. The new system of
threshing—no stooking, no pitching
sheaves, no binder twine no unload-
ing heavy wheat sheaves, no feeding
the machine in the threshing dirt, I
would like to see any system that
will beat it.
For the farmer who needs his
straw, this is the ticket.. For the
syndicate of three or four neigh-
bours, who have a few power im-
plements, and several tractors this is
the clean thing. For the farmers
short of help, this system is A. I.
