Over 725 combine -harv- esters were in use in Eastern Can- ada in 1940. A survey conducted by the Field Husbandry Division at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, states J. M. Armstrong, covering 30 per cent of these harvesters, shows that over 90 per cent of those report- ing are satisfied with the combine method of harvesting. The combine has reduced the 'labor required at harvest time and when used on suf- ficient uf ficient acreage per year has effected a saving in the cost of harvesting. Iu addition, under the extremely wet harvest conditions encountered in some areas in 1940 the combine harvester proved most effective in saving grain. In many cases the quality of combined grain was' sup- erior to that threshed from the stook. In other oases crops that could not be cut with the binder were harvesting with combines. The acreage required to justify the pur- chase of a combine -harvester on any farm with a tractor or sufficient work for a tractor is estimated at 12 acres per foot of cut of the har- vester. The chief disadvantage of the combine method is that crops must be sufficiently ripe or dry to keep in storage when combined, and that during the ripening period damage may occur from lodging,.. weed growth, wind or hail. Four years' ex- perience has shown that, on the average, losses due to weather are not excessive. This is also true of losses due to the operating mechan- ism of the combine and for some crops the loss with the combine is normally less than with other meth- ods of harvesting. A few combine operators object to hauling straw from the combine. However, most operators are satisfied to handle the straw in a similar. manner to hay with a dump or side rake, loader and slings or a cutting box. Little diffi- culty was reported with heating of combined grain and in some cases combined grain sold at a premium. Many combine operators used their machines for custom harvesting. Wet weather conditions were claimed to have increased the amount of custom combining available.—(Experimental Farms News).

DUBLIN Farm Buildings Wiped Out By Fire.— Much ire—Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Joseph Ryan in the loss of his barn, driving shed and the spacious house on Thursday afternoon last by fire of unknown origin. Mr. Ryan had purchased the farm only two years ago from the Jordan estate, in Hibbert township, a mile and a quarter south of Dublin and half a mile west. Mt'. Ryan was working for the Piggott Construction Comp- any at the new R, A.F. Radio School at Clinton. Mrs. Ryan was at hone, and while resting in the house smelled smoke. When she reached the been she found it a mass of flames, although everything had ap- peared all right only a short time before. It is thought the fire started from spontaneous combustion as the fire must have started with almost explosive force. The flames spread quickly to the other buildings and nothing was left but smouldering ruins. Eighteen pigs were lost in the barn, but the other live stock was out on pasture. The season's hay was Lost, but most of the grain was saved as Mr. Ryan was intending to stook thresh. A large crowd gathered from the surrounding country and succeeded in saving most of the househeld furniture. Loss is estimat- ed around $10,000, partly covered by insurance. It is understood Mr, Ryan does not intend to rebuild. Mrs. Jane Burns, a highly respect- ed resident of Hibbert township, cel- ebrated her 82nd birthday at her home on Saturday.
