Let Machines
Ease Man Labor

Many farmers are still doing
things the hard way. County Agent
George Vapaa suggests doing more
jobs mechanically instead of by
the backbreaking method
For instance, a dairyman spends
about rs per cent Of his time work
ing around buildings. He will han
die around Is tons of produce, raw
material, and waste per coz per
year. A poultryman will handle
around 10 tons of material per 100
hens per year, and will likely
spend more time in the poultry
house doing it than the dairyman
spends around the barn.
why moi let conveyOrs or ele-
vatOrs do a big share of this work
for your" Vapaa asks. '.'Small port
able elevators are easiest to use
to move material either horizontally
or vertically. There are many
brands of small cOnVeyOrs on the
market-or you can build your own
They are used to handle bulk grain
litter, bedding, ensilage, chopped
hay, potatoes, apples, vegetables
sand, gravel, stove woods, and sim
liar materials.
The small conveyOr can be con-
structed of aluminium or kOod with
chain and fights, or a belt with
or without cleats. It is generally
built in from g. to 20-foOt lengths
and will operate to so degrees uI
or down the horizontal. Az h. p. OF
smaller electric motor is required
depending on length.
Larger portable elevators foI
general purpose are available in
lengths from 20 to 20 feet They
will handle the same materials the
small elevators handle, plus baled
hay, bagged grain, etc. The power
needed ranges from Il h. ,. electric
motor to 20 feet to a h. p. cleo
trio motor at 20 feet. Cost is about
the same per foot as for smaller
elevators.
Other special purpose cOnVeyors
are used for cleaning barn cutters
| feeding poultry, unloading wag-
ons, unloading siIos. Cost Of this
type conveyor varies considerably
depending on use made Of it.

Select A Tree For Color
While It Is Still Young

Pick out a tree for fall color
when it is young. The cOlOrs a
small tree exhibits in a nursery
this autumn are the very cOlOTs it
will show every autumn the rest
of its life.
No two trees are exactly alike.
One sugar maple may be more brill
liant than another growing across
the street. One Norway maple may
become golden yellow in autumn;
the one next door may remain
green until its leaves drop.
No one knows exactly why be-
yond the fact that it's ancestral
characteristics made it so, says
Don Cantwell, area manager of the
Bartlett Tree Expert Company. If
you plan to plant a tree this fall
or next spring for color, select it
now when it's foliage is turning,
mark it and transplant it later
