- '$. 7 ® n \ Port Perry Junior Farmers On Tuesday, May 22, the Port Perry Junior Farmers had a very interesting and informative meeting with two out. standing guest speakers, both of whom are well-known in farming circles from coast to coast, dE During the business period of the boys' meeting, two important future events were noted, namely, on Wed- nesday, June 6, in Port Perry High School, there is to be a rifle shooting contest between the four clubs, Bea- verton, Brooklin," Uxbridge and Port Perry. On Saturday, June 9 there is to be a field day with the same four clubs participating on the Port Perry . Fair Grounds. As Mr. Fair introduced the first speaker, Professor L. G. Heimpel to the boys, Mr. Fair noted that Mr. Heimpel is well-known to most people because of his articles under Farm Mechanics in the Family Herald and Weekly Star and because he lives in the nearby town of Whitby. Prof. Heimpel dealt directly with the topic "Things to come in Farm Machinery", he made the following comments a- bout machinery in general. In order to make machinery pay, you must have a fair-sized acreage. If you are considering the purchase of a diesel tractor, remember that you must in- tend to use it for at least six hundred hours per year. The development of farm machinery was stimulated by the wars," Ferguson was the first to in- troduce tractor mounted implements, however it will take at least fifteen + 'years before there is a complete change to this type of equipment. In the meantime, it is good economy to . use converted horse-drawn equipment behind your tractor. Then Prof. L. G. Heimpel briefly outlined the development of machin- ery on this continent from the early days to the present time. Away back "in 1831 the influx of settlers westward along the great areas of arablé land demanded machinery. Thus the de- velopment of machinery started with the invention of the first reaper "hy McCormick in the state of Michigan. This first reaper was something like a buck saw driven by the big wheel. McCormick persuaded a farmer to let him demonstrate his machine in the farmer's field. However, the machine broke down and McCormick was or- dered off the place. Another farmer had more faith in McCormick and let him try. the reaper machine in his field of grain. Gradually improve- :-ments were added such as guards, "circle rakes etc., and in 1865 the first ~knotter was invented. i ! Heimpel 'recalled how one thresher- in the world piled. up in the United "equipnient; and less hand labour for The early tractors were long awk- ward three-wheeled affairs. The plow or cultivator had to be completely out of the ground before a turn could be made at the end of the field and even then it was difficult to turn the ma- chine around, . Later threshing. machines powered by steam engines. were Prof. man used to stoke the wood into the fire box, run up to the feeder, throw in a few sheaves, run back to the fire box and repeat the process all day long. : Then in 1893 the first glut of grain States, ° Prof. Heimpel also noted that the interchange of help between farmers seems to be a thing of the past. In regard to the future, farmers are going to have to concentrate or specialize in one or two crops be- cause different crops require differ- ent machinery and a farmer must have much use for a machine if it is to be economical to him. He noted that on a farm a great deal of work and effort are required to move materials such as grain, hay, silage, manure, bags of feed, fertili- zer, fuel and molasses, These ma- terials should be moved in the most efficient- method available, Grain should be eléVated up into high bins or a big hopper and from there the grain will run down through a grinder or roller with ease, How- ever if you build a big hopper, it must be very strong and well reinforced to hold the heavy pressure of grain. Plans and advice for building such a hopper can be obtained from your lo- cal farm engineer or from the Agri- cultural College at Guelph: : Hay can be foraged and blown into the barn or it can be baled and moved by machinery. ' ; Manure can be loaded into spread- ers with tractor mounted loaders. In regavd to all material handling there are four important principles to help guide you. First, don't' move it if it is possible to let animals self- feed e.g. trench silo or hay feeding racks. Secondly, handle larger a- mounts by using heavier wagons, make' every trip count. Thirdly, make the flow, continuous by using machinery e.g. stable cleaners, grain and hay elevators or a continuous automatic carrier for feeding poultry. Lastly, condense it, reduce bulk ana wéight of material, e.g. baled hay and | straw.. or : Thus the future trend in farm ma- chinery is to have tractor mounted: moving materials, however, every machine or device must handle efT5trske] volume to be economical, Bill Lamb thanked Prof. Heimpel for his worthwhile informative talk on the trend in mechanized farming. It might be noted here that the par- ents had been invited to this meeting and we were very plased to have them with us. : (on Suggestions were again forwarded regarding our July bus trip and the following . places were' suggested Niagara Fall§, Algonquin Park: and Rice Lake, however no decision was reached therefore a committee of Lols Bill and Dorothy was appointed to deal with this matter, For our June 26 meeting, it was decided to have a weiner roast in ircenwood Park where we also will enjoy a ball game and a swim,in the pool. A committee of Irene Tromb- lay and Muriel Wallace was selected | to make arrangements for this meet- ing. Wesley Johnson, who extended a wel- come not only to Joe but also to Joe's wife, Freda, and two of their neigh- bours, Mr. and Mrs, Donald Dunkeld. Joe was Canada's 1955 tractor plow- ing champion and entered the World Competition in Sweden where he com- peted with' champions from other countries. Before Joe showed us his movies on the trip to Sweden, he explained that there were five members in the party, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Barry, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Mel gitin and hims@f?. Tom Barry. was the team manager and Ivan was the runner-up champion, Ted Lamb, our president, thanked Joe for showing his coloured films and giving his talk on his overseas trip. After a tasty lunch which was ser- ved by Junior Institute girls, and a i friendly chat with each other, our meeting adjourned. Plowmén View Site of Big Match A long line of cars snaked across the fields just south of Brooklin last week, as members of the Ontario Plowman's Association, and Ontario County Plowing Match Committee in- spected the site of the International plowing match, A joint meeting of the two bodies was called for last week to deal with the general problems of the mammoth plowing match, which will be held on October 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th of this year. The headquarters of the match will be on the Heber Down farm, about a mile west of Brooklin, Joe Tran, the final speaker of the evening, was briefly introduced by | electricity. on Highway No. 7. Although the Down farm is a large tract of land, the match will spread over at least three other properties, x The great part of the afternoon was spent looking over the. site of the match. All were agreed thatthe lo- cation, and the-land, are ideal for the event, Proximity to industrial cen- Lr¢87 ¢lsy access to main highways, and the fact that Brooklin is in the heart of the "plowing match country," were all considered to be factors which will "help to make this year's match one of the best ever, y A quarter of a mile south of the Down farm buildings, a space half a mile by 300 yards has been set aside, and named "Tented City." In this space, a city of tents, booths, ete., will spring up before the cvent opens. There will be three streets, in tented city, so that there will be a total front- age of two miles, for exhibits. Mur. F. A. Lashley, secretary and general manager of the Plowmen's Assocla- tion, said that a large part of this space has already been sold. Officials of Bell Telephone, and the Ontario Hydro, attended the meeting, to help solve power and communica- tions problems. The Ilydro, and Whitby PUC. will require the amount of- voltage required for each exhibit, and how many exhibits will require Bell Telephone will have 26 lines installed in the match area, connected with Oshawa exchange, « The committee will the water problem, hy purchasing water for tent city from Meadowacereg Hom- es Ltd., who have a large water tower supplied by wells just north of the match site. The water will he sub- jected to extra pressure, before yveach- ing the tent area. Following the tout of the site, the members came south to Whitby, where they were entertained at dinner, at Fairview Lodge, by the County of Ontario. Prior to the dinner, a gen- overcome eral discussion-was held, to ivon out other problems. A special committee, set up to sup- ply tractors for the event, reported that they will have at least 200 trac- tors available for the match. With the expected 800 competitors, this number of vehicles will he necessary, as there will be about £200 competing each day, = Prizes for the match total over $15,- 000 in cash, and trophies, plus a large sum which will be donated in the form of educational tours. Prizes will also be presented for welding contests, which will be held throughout the match, Junior farmers and high school students will compete in the welding contests, which, over the past few years, have become a regular feature of the international mateh. Free transport around the match site will be provided by the junior farmers of Ontario County, who will 'run a wagon ride service, throughout the four days of the match, The major problem of highway traf- fic, to and from the match site, will fall into_the able hands of the OPP. Sgt. Murray Bruce, of the Whitby de- tachment, who will be in charge of traffic control, said that there will be about 80 extra officers brought into the area, to handle the huge vo- lume of traffic which will circulate in the area during the match. > @ > - we a 70th Anniversary AVON 70th ANNIVERSARY SALE New Lomg Life Lipstick "Reg.
