INDESTRUCTIBLE
LONDON
Plans Now Completed for Protecting
World’s Greatest Port
London is now an indestructible
port, thank's to the scheme of control
and protection evolved by the Port
of London Authority, it is claimed by
Mr. W. L. Wrightson, Chairman of
the Authority’s River Committee.
“We are prepared,” he says, “to
carry on whatever may happen.
The Authority have located the sum
of £250,000 for air raid protection to
men working the docks system. All
vital points have been protected and
over 3% miles of trenches are avail
able for refuge from blast and. splint
ers. Over 30,000 workers are being
safeguarded in the P.L.A.’s own dock
area, while owners of wharves and
warehouses for 30 or 40 miles on each
bank of the Thames have arranges for
similar protection for their Own staffs.
Moorings have been placed for
about 78 ships in the lower reaches
of the Thames. The small craft or
ganizations, with some 10,000 barges
and tugs capable of handling 1,000,000
tons of cargo, have been organized in
to a pool, and should any one dock
system be put out of action, all these
resources would be at the service of
the port. Arrangements have also
been made for evacuating essential
foodstuffs and dangerous goods.

DEMONSTRATION OF
COMBINE HARVESTING
Large Attendance of Farmers See
Latest Types of Cost-Reducing Ma
chines in Operation.
The ease and simplicity of harvest
ing grain with a “Clipper” combine
was demonstrated to hundreds of far
mers and many other interested peo
ple on the Dufferin Street Farm of
Mr, T. A, Russell, President of the
Massey-Harris Company recently,
Close to eight hundred came to get
first-hand information on the working
of this machine and all were most
favorably impressed with the way it
wheat running well over thirty-nine
bushels to the acre.
To those familiar with the estab
lished routine of harvesting grain
crops ‘— cutting, stocking, pitching
and hauling and finally harvesting —
the all in one action of the combine
with only two men required to do the
work seemed the height of perfection.
Reducing the number of operations to
the bare minimum of course natural
ly brings about a verp substantial sav
ing in the costs. There is no twine
to buy; there is no expense for labor
in stooking; there is no thresher’s bill
to pay; and nothing extra is added to
the housekeeping expense in provid
ing meals for large threshing crews.
Another feature about combine hat
thatvesting that appeals to many is
the exchange of work with neighbors
which often comes at most inoppor
tune times is not required.
Insofar as the economical side of
the method is concerned it is estimat
ed that the actual out-of-pocket ex
pense with the combine method is
about equal to or less than the cost
of binder twine with the regular way
of harvesting, It means Something
worth while to a farmer to be able
to save up to $1.50 per acre with the
combine, and there is a saving of grain
and seed too that means quite a lot,
particularly when harvesting seed hay
crops,
And the new type of combine as de
monstrated in the ‘’Clipper*’ and the
