Flu
over
A ban on visitors due to a flu
outbreak at Huronview home
for the aged was lifted Monday.
Administrator Chester Arch-
ibald said several days have
passed with no new cases report-
ed. More than half of the home'
290 residents have had the flu
since the ban went into effect
January 14.
Mr. Archibald said normal
visiting hours have been restored
Saving 'energy on the Fa
field operation to maintain good
traction without excess weight.
Adjust tire pressures to corres-
pond to the wheel load; reduce
energy robbing rolling resistance
by decreasing pressures when on
soft fields and using higher pres-
sures on hard surfaces.
Avoid the mistake of unneces-
sarily deep tillage; set tillage
equipment as shallow as possible,
consistent with need, because
draft increases rapidly with
depth. ,
Heating oil, gasoline, diesel
fuel, propane and other pe-
troleum products are in shorter
supply than usual.
Like everyone else, farmers
are taking a second look at their
use of energy.
Farmers are among the big-
gest - and most efficient -
energy consumers in the country.
They are used to making the
most of essential energy supplies
to produce an equally important
commodity - food.
Most farming operations are
geared to save energy already.
Agriculture Canada provides the
following points to help farmers
review their own plans to make
the most of fuel supplies for the
rest of the winter.
BUILDINGS
Make sure buildings are
properly insulated, including
ceilings and attics; check
weatherstripping around doors
and windows; use storm doors
and windows. (It may sound rou-
tine, but proper insulation can
save you one-third to one-half on
heating expenses of farm"build-
ings. )
Use hay bales around the
(foundation or on the floor of the
second storey of the barn; pile
snow as high as possible around
the foundation for extra insula-
tion in cold, windy climates.
Lower temperatures in the
shop, milk house and garage will
save fuel.
Fluorescent lights take less
energy than incandescent bulbs
for steady lighting of heated
buildings; fluorescent lights are
not recommended for unheated
buildings.
EQUIPMENT
If you have the choice between
diesel and gasoine power, diesel
engines use about one-quarter
less fuel per hour than gasoline
models; best efficiency is at al-
most 90 per cent maximum
power, so match your tractor to
the job.
You don't need the block heater
plugged in all night; two to three
hours of warming before starting
the engine are enough; an auto-
matic timer will help.
Ensure a quick engine warm-
up by keeping your tractors and
other vehicles under shelter, and
by covering the radiator; the
colder the engine, the higher the
fuel consumption.
Keep engines tuned for best ec-
onomy; make sure lubricants are
those recommended for cold
weather operation.
Before you take out the tractor
or snowtnobile to pick up the mail
or head across the yard, ask
"Could I walk?"

session had already been arrang-
ed.
About 125 separate school
teachers also met Monday night,
at Seaforth Legion hall. There
are 159 teachers in the system,
145 of whom have submitted
resignations.
The teachers voted not to
change their demands for an 8.7
per cent salary increase over a
year. They said they would con-
sider a two-year contract, but
are insisting that the 15 nuns
teaching in the system receive
parity with lay teachers. They
now receive 85 per cent of sal-
ary of the rest of the teachers.
PROCESSING
Farm jobs such as cutting,
grinding, augering, milling and
drying use energy; don't leave
them out of your money saving
plans.
For cutting and grinding jobs,
keep cutting edges and tools
sharp and use close clearances
with shear bars.
It's more efficient to process
feed into coarse and long cuts;
think of your animals' require-
ments in grinding, rolling or
cracking.
Use the lowest speed you can
for the required elevating height
for choppers and blowers; their
energy use increases with speed.
When choosing your feed mill,
it helps to know power consump-
tion increases from roller to burr
to hammer mills.
And with bunk feeders, auger
types can take twice as much
horsepower as augerless types,
while shaker troughs fall in be-
tween these two for energy re-
quirements.
Grain augers lose on fuel
economy with increased rpm and
increased angles of elevation;
bucket elevators require much
less power than augers.
Shield your grain dryer from
the wind; don't attempt drying in
very cold weather or high
humidity.
Clean the grain of chaff and
weeds before drying; use low
drying temperatures and con-
sider aeration systems or storage
of high moisture feed grains as
alternatives.
LOOKING AHEAD
You will soon be thinking about
spring work and plans for the
summer. Carry good energy sav-
ing habits with you into the busy
season.
Here are some things you
might like to keep in mind:
Good traction makes the most
of available power; change trac-
tor weights according to your
When planning changes on the
farm, can you use electrical
energy instead of fuel for things
like pumps, augers, silage blow-
ers, conveyers, grain dryers and
heaters?
. Plan for reduced gasoline
losses during storage by using
tanks instead of small barrels, by
painting barrels or tanks white or
aluminum instead of leaving
them dark, and by placing them
in the shade or even opting for
underground storage.
