Farmers in this pro Vince purchased combines last year. Old timers Greet the displacement of the Binder and Thresher with sorrow. With them is disappearing the Stook and the sheaf by Fly emblematic of the Prairie provinces. Three sheaves of wheat make up the Alberta coat of arms. Those who recall the harvests of 20 years ago remember them As a time for jubilation. As the Crews of 20 or More men went from one farm to the other they moved in a sphere of gaiety. Enormous appetites these Large Crews of men were just As efficient in cleaning up the Farmer s pantry As they were in eating through the Fields of stocked Grain. For the Farmer s wife it meant recruiting several assistants from among the neighbor women to help satisfy the enormous Appe tites of these men. A 36-Inch separator with a Crew of eight Slopok teams in those Days could Swallow up about 100 acres of average crop in one Day. Today a Combine with a Crew of two men can Harvest up to 50 acres a Day in one operation. In addition to the six or eight teamsters the threshing gang of 20 years ago consisted of two or More Field pitchers a separator Man an Engineer a fireman a tank Man and the Boss who usually acted As timekeeper. Power was obtained from a Straw or Wood Burn Jing. Steam engine. The whistle on this engine was the object of much admiration to the Young farm boys of the Day. It was t a Job harvesting in those Days was More of a Celebration than a task old timers recall. At night before retiring to the Hayloft to sleep there was always fun and merry making. The swing away from the use of binders has also had a pronounced effect upon the sales of Binder twine in the country. Officials of some Cordage companies report pre handled around pounds a year last year sold Only pounds. Sales 01 Binder twine today vary with the locality and the Harvest seasons manufacturers in years when the Hay crop is below Normal More Farmers Cut their Grain with the Binder in order to save the Straw. This is also True in backward seasons when weather conditions do not favor Combine harvesting. Most of present Day Binder har vesting is done in Alberta and the Northern parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba where More mixed farming is carried on. This decline in sales of Binder twine has not hit the Canadian twine manufacturer too hard is much of the. Twine was imported some firms report that their out put today is even greater than it was 25 years ago when the Binder was indispensable. Burned casualties w. C. Naylor of Trail gets City Post w. C.
