4The Canadian Statesmeia, Bowmaniville, August 2,1978 SectioobTwo Durham Agricutural Clna By Rod Stork, Assoc. Agricutural Representative Combine Operation Tips In one of our recent news columns, we dealt with the area of combines service tips and how to prepare your combine for field work, before ever going near the crop itself. In this columa, we would like to point out some operational tips that may help you in doing a better job of combining your grain and corn during the harvest season. The dry weather conditions that we have experienced this year will, probably lead to much lighter grain, especially in the case of ots and barley, and it will be more important to make sure that your combine is- set up properly in order to save as much grain as Beo= going to the field, the machine should be adjusted to the best of your abilities, so you can get the- best performance and the least losses in the field. The major area of adjustment and checking should include the header, the threshing area and the shoe. Grain head losses can be controlled by the following operational tips: Carry the head at the proper level to get ahl the heads cut off. Again, much of the spring grain in the county is short this year and farmers should make sure that their combine head is low enough to pick up James ns urance Agency Limited 24 King St. E. Bowmanville For ail your inSUrance needs Nesta Akey or, Doug James at 6213-4406 ail of the heads in the field. A reel r.p.m. that is too fast will shatter grain and if it is too slow the crop won't be swept from the cutter bar into the auger and feeder area. Worn parts will, also, cause losses, especîally in the area of the cutter bar. Thre shing losses can be minimized by having the concave set properly for the crop it is operating in. This can be checked in your operator's manual. The concave to rasphar clearance should be adjusted properly to ensure good threshing. If too close, grain damage can occur, and if too wide, good threshing cannot be accomplished. Rotor or cylinder r.p.m. should be adjusted properly to ensure good threshing and separation. Shoe losses can be controlled by doing the following: Use the proper chaffer and cleaning sieve for the crop being harvested. If thewronig sieves are used, too much trash can enter the grain tank and give it a dirty sample. The cleaning fan r.p.m. has to be set properly, so as not to blow the crop out the back of the combine, but to ensure dlean grain. Ia order to check all ýof these areas, you have to operate in the field for a period of time and then make adjustmeats to your machine. Prevent grain losses by looking for areas of leakage, especially whea doing small grain crops. Most common areas where grain losses occur are in the elevators going to the grain tank, and the return augers for re-threshing. Make sure that the crop you are combiniag is properly matured. The moisture content of the crop should be low enough to prevent problems in threshing and cleaniag. Field losses can be measured by counting the number of kernels on the ground after the machine has passed a gîvea area. If these losses are not acceptable to you, determine where they are coming fr 'om and make adjustments accordingly. During the entîre harvest season, make sure that you practice safety at all times. Many fatal and near fatal accidâents take place on the farms each year around harvest equipment. in summary, make sure the combine is set up for the crop being harvested. Once you are in the field, the machine should be, ehecked and then re.-adjusted to, do a good -harvesting job for you. Factsheet Available on Farm Asset Transfer Each year we deal with a large number of farm families on the whole area of farm asset transfer and the taxes involved in carrying out such a transfer from one generation to the next. There are many differeat taxes and acts' that affect such a transfer, and it is important that farmn families be aware of ahl of these, even though they may not be affected by any-or aIl of the various taxes involved. A new Factsheet entitled, "Implications of Ontario Taxes on Farm Asset Transfer" has been prepared by Ralph Winslade and Bruce McCorquodale, Area Coordinators with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. In the factsheet, they outline the various taxes that are involved when transferring farm assets, and in addition, point out how these taxes might affect a farm transfer. Iacluded in the factsheet is information on the Ontario Gift Tax, The Ontario Succession Duty Act, The Ontario Land Transfer Act and The Ontario Land Specu- lation Tax. If you are planning to get involved in the transfer of farmn assets to a son or daughter or any member of your family, and would like further information on the various implications involved, get in touch with our office and we will provide you with a copy of this new factsheet and at the same time, will be prepared to sit down with you and discuss in further detail the areas of concern for your particular situation. Home Economic Footnotes By Linda Caldwell, Home Economist Blanch Vegetables Before Freezing Every year, food specialists at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, are asked the same question: "Is it necessaryto blanch vegetables before freezing?" The answer is "Yes' . If vegetables are not blaached, they may become tough, develop off-flavours and lose colour and vitamins shortly after 'they have been frozen. What a waste! Blanching inactivates enzymes in food which occur aaturally and which may cause deterioration duriag storage. Blanching also helps to retain naturalcolour and vitamins in foods. To blanch, immerse in a large pot of boiling water. Quickly return the water to the boil. Start to count the blanching time. The length of time will depend on the size and kind of vegetable. Not ail vegetables should be blaached for the same time, so, check your freezing book for blanching times and follow t he recommendations carefully. Remember that under-blanching does not kili ehl enzymes. This could mean a loss in flavour and colour. Over-blanching results in loss of food value. After blanching, vegetables should be cooled as quickly as possible in cold, running water. Drain vegetables. Pat dry very well and package in freezer containers. Label and freeze at once.

Computer to Keep Records On Welfare The Durham Region will make use of a computerized record-keeping system to keep track of welfare cases. At a meeting of regional council lest week, Durhamn's elected officiais egreed to spend $350 per month for computer equipment needed to process information on generai welfare assistance.

The report was accepted without debate during a meeting of regional council in Whitby Wednesday, July 26. Break-ins at Newcastle Two break-ins were report- ed to Durham Regional Police this week in Newcastle Village. Police said $64 was taken from a cash register at Rickard Plumbing and Heat- ing after someone entered the building through a window in the east side of the building. Police also said that a cash box containing $56.70 was stolen from the Town of Newcastle pooî building on Beaver St. t was not known how entry was gained. No Change in Allotment of Seats The distribution of seats on regional council will remain unchanged in spite of criticism that the municipality of Ajax is under- represented la the Durham council chember. "Ajax has been grossly under-represented fromn the very first day of regional government,"' seid Colin Mackie, the regional councillor representing Ajax. Councillor Mackie said hie believes it is the appropriate time to amend the distribution of council seets. He said there, were no efforts made to change the representation for Ajax when the region was formed about five years ago because at tnat time the municipality of Ajax was fighting to keep itself recognized as a town within the region. The Durham Region council discarded two suggestions for the re-structuring of council representation after only a brief discussion in Whitby lest week. The councillors rejected the idea, of reducing Oshawa's representation by two seats and increasing the number of Ajax and Whitby councillors by one. The motion suggesting this action was soundly defeated on a recorded vote of 26-2. Only Counciliors Colin Mackie (Ajax) and Ken Matlieson (Pickering) voted in favor of this suggestion. An ameadmeat which would have teken one seat away from Oshawa and given it to Ajax was elso defeated after little debate. Ajax Mayor Clark Mason agreed that his municipality was not sufficiently represent- ed at regional council. Ajax has two votes on regional council with one regionai councillor and the mayor serving at the regionel level. Mayor Mason said that although Oshawa sometimes says it does not have a large enough share of council seets, it i8 the Town of Ajax which is the most under-represented. 77 King Street East 1Bowmanville DRACH'S Corned Beef Lbat FANCY IGA Peach Halves BEEF, MEALTIME OR STEW Kal Kan Cat Food SUGAR SWEETENEO.
