Farmers could cut costs

The solar technique takes

Before the air reaches the
grain. moisture is removed
by electric heating coils
near the top of the bin.
"Then a fan draws the
dehumidified air through the
grain to •the perforated
metal drying floor
Placed eight inches -above
the concrete .,.floor. this
structure ensures grain is
dried at- the bottom of the
bin. A fan at the outer wall

draw air out of the bin.
As much as 26 percent
moisture -can be removed by
the solar method. However.
Mr Stone says it is risky to
• dry grain' with higher
moisture contents unless
high temperature dryers are
incorporated.
"It is difficult to deter-
mine dollar savings with
this. system because each
farmer's operation is
different." he says. "For in-
stance. grain moisture fluc-
tuates according to weather
conditions. and size of 'bin
also affects drying rates."
If fuel -generated high-
temperature dryers are
used with the solar techni-
que. then savings obviously
decrease.
An advantage of the
slower drying. low-
temperature method is the
absence of stress cracks in

Friday, September 1 off to
attend the coaching in the
morning and the Junior
match in the afternoon, to
see first hand the proper way
to adjust a plow, to turn the
best furrow.
The Huron Plowmen's
Association are sponsoring

leaders John ('lark and W. J.
Leeming, and one in the

Special contests include: a
horse shoe pitching contest
with two classes, one for
Huron players, and one for
all comers: nail driving
contest — one for the ladies
and one for men; log sawing
contests with two classes
using cross cut saws, one
class with contestants using

using the same saw.
The Huron Plowmen's
Association hope that this
