IF YOU WANT TO SEE the different makes of f Big Package Haymaking Equipment in action, now is the time to do it. Ted and George Triplett are busy turning out 1,000 to 1,200 pound big round untied bales with their Hawk-Bilt. H. L. Manwaring and K. P. Grigsby have their new Vermeer operating smoothly and North Red Oak Farm is dotted with big, round, twine tied bales weighing up to 1500 pounds. . . You will still have to travel out of the county to look at the Heston Stak Hand. The Heston makes a rectangular compressed stack that weighs up to 2500 pounds. Fleetwood Farm in Fauquier and Victor M. Dupont in Loudon both have Heston’s in operation.
If you are interested in further information on Big-Package Haymaking, stop by the Extension Office. We have one copy of a Purdue University publication that gives an overview of the hardware that’s now available, methods of feeding and economics to consider.
ANOTHER INNOVATION in hay making new to Rappahannock is the Centapede. This is a type of fluffer or conditioner (Dick Latham says it reminds him of a helicopter) that speeds up field drying time. Stop by Tommy Fastham’s or F. J. (Chicken) Welch’s if you are interested^ in seeing the Centapede in action. Keep a close look out for army worms in sod planted corn and hope to see you at the Endurance Trail Ride this weed-end. ■
