Elementary Schools in El!ron

entry for the preliminaries which
will take place intbree locations:
At Our Lady of Mount Carmel
School on January 30; t Clinton
Public BchooLon Januafy 31; and
at Winghdm Public School' on
February 1., All begin at l;30
p.m.
The three top speakers from
each division will then compete
at Clinton Public School on
February 6. Prizes of created
book ends and wall plaques are
being donated this year as they
were by the Maple Leaf Chapter,
I.O.D.E. of Gocierich to the three
who are judged.bestinthe.county.
The. first place winner, will
the n go to the Zone finals at
Glencoe on February 17\
These contests have bean
sponbored since 1927 by the
Ontario public School Trus-
tees'. Association and co-spon-
sored since 1958 by Ontario
Hydro., The provincial finals
take place in Toronto during
the convention of the Ontario
Education Association in the week
of winter break.
In recognition of the current
emphasis on communication in
our society the format of these
contests has been changing to
put more emphasis on communi-
cations skills rather than on
Oratory. Last year for. the first
time the contestants were sub-
jected to questioning by the
judges .on the subjects of. the
prepared talks so that they are
being judged on their ability to
inform, explain and instruct.
This year in addition, each
contestant will be expected to
read for two minutes from a
book which he has enjoyed.
Reading aloud has been an art
neglected for many years..1t
will be interesting to see how
our young people handle this
challenge. • ,
The Huron County Convener,
,Elementary Schools,Mrs. J. W.
Wallace and the principals of
each of the host schools
welcome the attendance and in-
terest of the public at these con-
tests.

Some apple trees are all shook
up these days.
• It's the way they're being
harvested. .
And, as hand labor becomes
harder to find, the gentle touch
may soon vanish• entirely at pick-
ing time.
"Some mechanical apple har-
vesters are already on the
market," says Jack Kemp, an
engineer at the Agriculture
Canada Research Station at
Frederiction N, B. which has its
own model in, the orchards.
"We've designed our model
to suit Atlantic province orchards
in response to a request from
the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers'
Association. The project in-
volves growers, provincial
people rind, Agriculture Canada's
research stations."
The new machine harvests
apples by grasping a tree limb
and shaking it furiously Until the
fruit falls off. Mr. Kemp calls
his model an interim unit.
"One of the problems • in the
shake-and-catch method' is tree
size and orchard design,"
he says.
. "In the future, dwarf and
semi-dwarf trees may be grown
to suit harvesting machines, but
you can't grow a new orchard
overnight. Most orchards in our
area are of older, larger.trees.
Our model is designed for them."
Some of the ideas were bor-
rowed, but most of them came
from the engineering section of
the Research Station and the
growers involved. The results-
are several improvements over
other models, as Mr. Kemp sees
it..
The self-propelled 26-foot
harvester is powered by a 20
horsepower air-cooled gas motor
that runs the hydraulic system
of two ptimps, 15 valves, six
motors and 10 cylinders.
• Everything that moves on the
machine, except the control
levers, is driven by hydraulics.
A telescoping arm on a
moveable boom can reach' 24
feet to clamp onto a limb for
1 the shake up.
When the shaking starts, it
seems to go in all directions
O at once.
',Actually, the limb is shaken
in a vertical pattern," says Mr.
Kemp.
"we believe ' this is an
improvement 'on other machines
which shake horizontally. Our
system uses gravity to help-de-
tach the fruit.
The unique action comes from
a double crankshaft design in the
shaker which he says "is hard
to explain."
At any. rate, it does the job
effectively. Apples fall .into a
collector on the machine, passing
throUgh decellerator strips which
slow down the tumble. Then it's
over counter rotating rollers
which take, out leaf and stem
debris, up a conveyer to the'
sf bin filler and into 1,000-pound
capacity bins where the apple's
are spread evenly by a rotating
platform and.scoop_,„,„ _
As far as• as'clevelOpers afe
concerned, the machine is ready
for commercial production.
'"Industry can take over as
soon as growers create' the
demand," says Mr. Kemp.
"The growers who saw the
need for this sort of harvesting
realize that labor costs are in-
creasing. We've tried to come
up with a practical machine that
can be manufactured by small
/ industr in the area.
"Ou first model was built
in a far er's yard. we've added
refinements 'at our machine shop
here, but the facilities needed to
manufacture these harvesters
..: are about the same as those
in any small industrial shop."
Ili
Although he expects that early
production will be for local de-
mands, he sees Quebec's
increasing apple orchards as
something to watch,
"If Quebec becomes involved In,
mechanical harvesting, it could
mean a larger market for the
manufacturers." '
What about the prices?
"This could vary according to
what you build into the machine.
"We're aiming at a self-pro-
pelled model that could sell at
about $15,000."
The economics seem to fit
for large growers in areas such
as Nova Scotia where most of
the fruit goes for processing.
Until dwarf trees are widely
grown for custom harveSters,
avoiding long drops to? the
apples, the shake-and-catch
method will not likely be used
O to supply fresh markets.,•says
Mr. Kemp.
