The silo had been filled with grass silage which was . being fed out to the cows to keep up milk production during the slack pasture period,. The mows in the Mehl barn were filled with hay, cut. and loaded with the same outfit and today they were harvesting the, wheat, In the back Was an .excellent 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 would certainly recommend this sys- tem of threshing to anyone, (i00.1) .ACTURINTS.

The thresher is out of sight, just inside the barn door. The tractor is operating the threshing machine and the blower which has a take off to the unloader on the wagon. The above picture taken at the Schnurr farm shows the automatic wagon 'loader in operation. The grain i is moving off the wagon into the feeder of the blower which blows the grain through the large pipe in the centre of the photo, which is directed MA— A Smootter Safer Softer Ride! 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.
