Huron farm and home news Set homemaking session dates Just a reminder to drop In your application or phone in the information for the "Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg? workshops. I'm looking forward to working with you and 1 hope you will come away from the two days full of enthusiasm and knowledge on chickens and eggs. Workshops are coming quickly and because of the confusion with the lack of mail, I hope you will pass the information on to other leaders. Please would you bring with you: three ring binder for members and. leaders pamphlets, pencil, pen, tape, paper scissors, an egg gadget if you have one, an egg carton, apron, 1 broiler - fryer chicken (per club), 1 boning knife or paring knife (labelled with your name) (per club), 1 cutting board for cuting up poultry (per club) . Please have an idea of the number of members you will be having in your club and from that nui'hbe'r could you find out how many haven't taken a foods project before.

See you shortly as we try to discover the answer to "Which Came First?" Is your extension cord a "10"? Extension cords are not all the same. Most farmers have a few extension cords of various lengths and possibly different guages of wire. There are some interesting facts about these wires that you should know. When electricity runs through a long wire, you get "voltage drop". This is caused by the resistance of the wire. If the drop is too great, you may have problems at the end of the line. Starting of motors may be difficult and full load running current may be greatly increased. This leads to overheating of both motor and wires. Circuit breakers will con- tinuously trip. The plugs on light duty extension cords can heat up to the point that they will melt or burn. It isi not hard to find the right wire size for your extension cord. You must know the electrical load of the motor at the end of the cord. You must also know the length of cord. Then use this simple formula: size of wire (in circular mils) equals 6.1 timeslengthor run ( in feet) times full load of a 100 foot load amps at 120 volts. For example a quarter horsepower motor with a load of 5.8 amps on the end of a 100 foot cord would need a wire size of 6.1 times 5.8 times 100 equals 3536 cir- cular mils. The size of wire should be A.W.G. No. 14. However, of two motors are running continuously instead of one, the wire size would have to be No. 10. Take the time to make the calculation. It could prevent a tragedy. Full .Load Current of 120 Volt Motors: Motor (HP) Full Load ( Amp) at 120 volt, one sixth equals 4.4, one quar.terequals 5.8, one thircj equals 7.2, one half equals 9.8, three quarthers equals 13.8. Circular Mil Sizes oft, AWG Wires: CM Area AWG Size, 4110 equals 19, 6530equals 12, 10,380 equals 10 and 16,510 equals 8.
