In regard to corn, the ag rep sees difficulties arising from the big crop. "I have said ear- lier that complications are go, log to start about September 15 when our farmers give some thought to harvesting corn, how- ever they plan to use it." "We are not going to have enough pickers or corn com- bines. We don't have enough driers and we definitely don't have enough storage facilities on the farm for the crop. I don't think a lot of people have given sufficient consideration to what they are going to do with the corn."

Two largest machines are the 105 and the 95, the latter one stocked by Huron Tractor. The 95 has platforms up to 20 feet, a 40-inch cylinder and separa- tor and four 5-step walkers. It boasts an 80 h.p. engine with power steering and a 60-bushel grain tank. The 55 is described as the "de a n". The company says there are more John Deere 55's in operation than any other se- paration. It has a 30-inch cylin- der, 71 h.p. engine and 55, bushel grain tank. Three straw walkers are 115 inches long, with 4,200 square inches of separating area and 3,006 sq. inches of cleaning area. The 45 model is featured as a versatile machine for corn, grain and bean owners. Plat- forms range from eight to 12 feet, and the threshing cylinder is 26 inches wide.

The corn head needs no f eed housing. An upper and lower fan sys- tem augment the 2,680 sq. in. cleaning area and the grain bin has a capacity of 40 bushels. For changing heads, a hy- draulic control is used for pro- per alignment of hook-up lat- ches and mating slots. Support jacks are provided withthe corn head. Agriculture officials say there isn't enough equip- ment in Huron to handle this year's corn crop. 4 Models Available ...

Ford, gives "maximum thresh- ing and separating efficiency" and the extra long straw wor- kers "performs complete se- paration of grain from strew. On the corn header, Ford's snapping rolls are mounted with one higher than the other, cau- sing ears to be snapped off to one side and directly into the elevator. Ears can't be shelled by riding on top of turning rolls, which are of a small diameter to prevent shelling. The Sign -Up Has Started 4-H sheep club holds field day A panel discussion, sheep judging contest and sheep dog demonstration were highlights of the fifth annual Perth County 4-1-1 sheep club field day held at the farm of N. McCully, RR 2 St. Marys. Roast "lamb-burgers" fea- tured a pool luncheon, after which Woody Lamb from Guelph rendered three sheep songs. Leonard McGuay, Brant County, was chairman for a panel discussion, Members in- cluded Woody Lamb, a research worker at OAC; R. White, mea.- ford, Ontario's largest com- mercial sheepman; Harry pal- mar. , OA C shepherd; Walter Oltsher, RR 5 Stratford, meat cutter from a large market; and Dr. D.J. Campbell, OVC, Guelph, Harry Palmer showed the members how to hold a sheep properly and also how to judge sheep. A class of Dorset Hor- nods and a class of cross-bred market lambs were judged. Prizes for the judging were given by Don Wells, of the British Mortage and Trust. A demonstration of how a good sheep dog rounds up a flock was given. COMBINING GUSTO Saddle tank design New Massey-Ferguson 300 model, featured by H. R. Sher- wood, Exeter, emphasizes its "saddle tank design" which provides centre balance. The saddle type grain tank keeps weight low and distributes it to both sides of the machine, giving bigger capacity and a lower silhouette. Massey-Ferguson is al so promoting its console control, which permit adjustments from the driver's seat. Table lift, traction speed, reel lift, cylin- der speed, concave setting, se- parator drive, tank unloader, unloader spout and table drive are all controlled from the cockpit. The machine has an 11 or 13- foot cutting width, 30" wide cyl- inder, 56 bushel grain tank and a '72 hp motor. Power steering The newly married husband trudged home, exhausted, from a gruelling day at the office. His bride sympathized. "Dear," she said, "you look so tired and hungry. How would you like a nice steak, with wonderful potatoes, a superb salad and some delicious pie?" "Not tonight, dear. I'm too tired to go out," production situation, the board will probably receive a sub- stantial amount of wheat again in 1963. It was pointed out at the meeting, Mr. Coulter said, that during the past week bids at Montreal for export wheat were as low as $1.54 per bushel. Based on this price and taking into account disc aunt s for freight, handling and storage charges which would be deduc- ted, producers inSouth Western Ontario would be receiving a- bout $1.23 per bushel for their new crop wheat if it were not for the board's negotiated floor price of $1.65 and its export program. Wheat has already been de- livered to some country eleva- tors in Essex and Kent and farmers are anxiously awaiting favourable weather to put com- bines into full swing in many of the southern counties. The crop is rapidly maturing throughout the entire province and it is expected that an average to bet- ter than average yield may be experienced. The OFA doesn't minimize the dangers occasioned by slow mo- ving equipment on highways, especially during heavy week- end traffic. Safety and the pre- vention of accidents is still of paramount importance. There- fore, the full co-operation of farmers in preventing accidents and 'Prohibiting any abuse of these above privileges is ear- nestly requested. In cases where farm equip- ment in excess of 14 feet in width must be transported on provincial highways, provincial police are requested to escort the equipment. On all secondary roads, the owners must provide a private escort in addition to obtaining the permit (plus a permit for Saturdays and holi- days) and an escort. The owner must now display a red flag mounted on a ten foot mast at- tached to the left rear corner of such equipment. Permits for the transporting of farm equipment of over 8 feet in width on any Queen's highway, must be obtained by writing to the Ontario Depart- ment of Transport, Queen's Park, Toronto, or they may be obtained from any of the 260 local offices of the Ontario Department of Transport (is- suers of motor vehicle licences which are located throughout the entire province), In the case of movement on municipal roads, such as county or township, applications for permits are to be made to the clerk of the municipality. Details for marketing Onta- rio's 1963 winter wheat crop have been whipped into shape by the Ontario Wheat Produ- cers' Marketing Board as har- vest gets under way in the sou- thern part of the province. The marketing board announ- ced following a meeting in Tor- onto that it is prepared to handle new crop wheat as inthe past and has instructed its • agent, the grain division, Uni- ted Co-Operatives of Ontario, to purchase aggressively at the floor price from country dealers. Board Chairman Roy Coulter, Campbellville, said the board's policy provides for purchases to be moved into position for ex- port by the most economical means and the new stocks will be offered for export as wheat is accumulated. Mr, Coulter said that the board handled approximately one million bu shels of last year's crop which was nearly all exported and with this year's crop shaping up to an equal BY MRS. JOHN ELLIOTT Huron Federation Secretary Special permits are now being issued for the movement of farm equipment (in excess of eight feet in width) on public roads during Saturdays and ho- lidays. Permits for transporting wide farm equipment on all public roads have been required by the Department of Transport for some time. But these regu- lar permits exclude use of pub- lic roads for this purpose dur- ing Saturdays and holidays. Holders of permits will find it necessary to supplement their regular permits with special permits before utilizing public roads on Saturdays and holi- days. Relaxation of the regulations governing (or prohibiting) the movement of farm equipment on public roads comes as a. direct result of a request made by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to the Ontario De- partment of Transport on June 24. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture commends the ac- tion of the Ontario Department of Transport as being in the interests of Ontario farmers and also for taking such prompt action. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture wishes to empha- size the fact that the above ac- tion was taken to facilitate es; sential farm operations and the abuse of these privileges can only lead to their withdrawal.
