New Harvesting Method Described "Bringing in the sheaves" Is an out -or -date song' now for many harvesters in the Brodhagen area, In this busy season, with the fields being cleared of the oat and barley crops, and the granaries rapidly filling, the picture on about 200 remits in the area cen- tred on Brodhagen, is one oi' "Bringing in the bales." The thrifty thinking of several fa.rutersin the Brodhagen neigh- borhood, joined with the invent- iveness of Ford Diekison, the vil- lage tinsmith, has sueceeded in making hay -balers do doable duty, and handle the grain as well Its the hay, Swathed grain is being baled with the 00.1110 machine that, earlier 1n the summer, Was tatting hay from windrows, and the bales of grain are being sue- eessfttlly fed to conventional threshing machines, '1'110 idea owes nothing' to any big-thne research team, or to any farm implement company. Local fanners in the Brodhagen area came to Fred Diekison with the idea, and local trial -and -error methods evolved a set of modifi- cations to a standard hay -baler, to make It a. practical machine for harvesting oats, barley or wheat. The idea began to develop four years ago, with three local farm- ers and tinsmith Diekison putting their treads together to Solve the Problem of haling grain, without threshing it in the baling process, or losing kernels or heads of grain while the bale was being rammed into shape, After the method had been made to work on a few ;menti o warm ... so 4.,;O Here's comfort you can feel ... the solid comfort of a home that's evenly, automatically heated by Natural Gas, Set the thermostat, and warm, fresh, moisture - corrected air circulates gently through every room of your house , .. instantly.

The speed of the bale elevator and the speed of the feed belt leading to the separator can be adjusted so that as the oi'ened hales drop from one to the other, they are shaken out, and make for an even i'low of material, On the farm of Stephen Murray, R.R. 2, 1Yalton, 15 -acre field of Garry oats was baled, drawn in, and threshed, this week, In eight hours working time. The crew on the job consisted of four men, two at the barn Ulla two in the field. 1t could have been done al- most as quickly with three men, but the one elan at the barn would have had 1a hard day's work. According to Forel Diekison, the cost of leaking the conversion kit for the baler is about $50, with some variation according to the Slake of baler. The most obvious part of the kit is one long Piece of heavy steel, cut and shaped to Tit the bale chamber, and long en- ough to cover the bottom, the chamber and the chute. Twine grooves are pressed into this piece of steel, so that it can grip the hales tightly, but allow the twine ties to slide freely. The sides of the chute are extended as high as the chambers, Pans and trays are fitted under the baler to catch grain that alight fall through. A recent improvement has been a set of four brushes, fastened to the baler frame, and placed so that when the knot is being tied in the baling twine, the needles that tie the Isnot move through the bristles or the brushes, As. soon as the needle leaves the chamber, the bristles close the opening, so ne grain can fall Soon LANES 1;ruu \aids .kutomatie 5 Pio 1'1)-ttcrs 40 The Most ;Modern Brunswick (fold frown Equipment \Cntc11 your ((exit payor for farther (II011>(Llee' owit1 thrungbt, Another brush is 'hoed to 1111 roar of the ba.lin.. ,lunger, to sweep shelie(1 )10.(111 1)mard following wagon.

These companies provide more than products, however. For example, The Steel Company of Canada. Limited, since it was incorporated in 1910 has: m made 36,817,000 tons of steel; • paid $1,020,000,000 to its employees; 6 paid $276,000,000 to government in taxes; • spent $1,930,000,000 for materials and services; o invested $365,000,000 in plant and raw material sources.
