PROCESSING CORN — Processing of sweet corn is in full swing at the Exeter plant of Canadian Canners. Above, fieldman Bob Coates checks the quality. I� :ane foot in the furrow' bY(Gp ed� It is a disgrace to the neighborhood. It has a definite list to the east, noticeable to the naked eye. It needs paint and only one of its two doors can be latched. The wind whistles though it in dozens of places. The roof is patched with all manner of coverings. It is an eyesore. It is the dilapidated shed we laughingly refer to as a horse barn. We filled it today. The storage section is bursting with hay, the grain barrels are full and when I latched the one door and walked away from it, it was with a feeling of warmth and satisfaction. There is room for only two horses in an open -sided box stall and room for almost 200 bales of hay. When the hay was delivered, we all trooped out to help pile it inside. When the barn is full, there is not even enough room for our tack and it must be kept in the house until enough hay is gone. But what a feeling! Just to know enough feed is there for the winter is satisfy- ing...even fulfilling. When I can get that kind of feeling from a two -horse barn, what must it be like for a farmer with a barn full of animals? To trudge out of the corral knowing that, whatever the l.ne,+.n..pp,ea .leo O, Bob hob.. IM.'. Rd Sim.,. On, N71 2( winter brings, the horses have feed supplied by Mother Earth should bring anyone closer to God. The cool nights and the warm days, the mornings when the mist is on the fields, the nights when the stars seem close enough to touch and the northern lights are flickering, all remind me that winter is on its way. The driv- ing snow and the bitter cold have no mercy on those who do not prepare properly. My favorite feathered creature, the kingbird, has already gone south. Other birds are gathering in flocks, sitting in the trees and along the fences, chattering and preening. I am no expert on birds but I swear they break into formation and whirl and turn as if they were practising for their long flight south. The robins are leaving. The purple martins seem to have disappeared and the six or seven orioles back in the bush took flight more than a week ago. Have you ever wondered how birds signal each other when they fly in formation? Suddenly, the whole flight wheels and turns as though their built-in computers gave a simultaneous signal. I have never seen them run into or over each other in their flight 1111- iAP- Prices are Down i AP- i )011L -Drive a John Deere for LESS money per year.

And who gives the signal for them to go south? You will see them for a few days and sud- denly, they are gone in the night. The blue jays are more vocal now, too. They have come out of the bush and can be heard screeching almost constantly. Some people have a hate for the blue jay but I think he is one of our most col- orful characters. He is tough and hardy, stays with us all year, and is as beautiful in coloring as any of the feathered friends in Canada. I read somewhere that the blue pigment is not real; that the grey-white of the jay's feathers reflects the light so that the coloring only appears to be blue. If that is true, then we have another miracle of nature. The sumac in the bush begins to turn color in earnest now. Some of the maples show color and the birches and aspens are slowly becom- ing yellow -tinged. My favorite tree, the tamarack, is turning from green to gold. The autumn equinox ap- proaches. Nature, as usual, has hastened the season. As all school children will tell you, the summer ended on Labor Day. Centralia departures By MRS.
