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

threshing mill,
Some farmer's in the Brodhagen
urea have found it works well en-
ough to drop the bales directly
from the wagon to the moving belt
which feeds the thresher; how-
ever in practice, anyone who has
the use or a hay -baler is likely to
have the use of a hale elevator,
and a majority prefer to drop the
hales on the elevator, and let it
drop them to the threshing m141,
One advantage of the elevator,
in the Brodhagen method, is that
it can be used to spread the bales,
and avoid choking the threshing
machine. 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

There are more than 37,000 manufacturing companies
in Canada turning out the products Canadians use
every day. 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.
This is how Canadian manufacturing contributes
to the wealth and progress of Canada.
