Telephone 623-2312 and-one-half minutes for a golden shower of harvested corn to be transferred to a waiting truck from the Hungarian-designed Hungarian-designed Don 1500 combine. The machine was demonstrated demonstrated last week at the farm of Barry Bragg. With a capacity of six metric tonnes in the bin, the 25-foot-long combine "holds many benefits benefits to farmers," said Company Company Representative Richard Krawiec. First of all, there is an electronic warning system to help find a problem before a malfunction halts the machine. machine. Another benefit is fuel efficiency. efficiency. Based on hourly fuel consumption, the combine combine does not use as much fuel as other combines of the same size. It, of course, uses diesel fuel. The new combine also leaves a cleaner looking field. This helps when the farmer goes to till the field later. "It works quickly and there is a saving in the initial initial cost," Mr. Krawiec said. The North American built combine costs more than the Hungarian-designed combine. combine. With a price tog of $100,000-$110,000, it comes with the six-row corn head. Optional equipment includes includes pick-up tables, a 19- foot head and a 24-foot head. Heads, Mr. Krawiec explained, explained, straight-cut grains and move them through the combine. The cost for the optional parts is $3,000 to $7,000. But, he added, this is still less than the prices for similar similar options on North American American made models sold in Canada. There are four parts warehouses in Canada. One is as close as Toronto and the other three are in Montreal, Montreal, Quebec; Regina, Saskatchewan; Saskatchewan; and Moncton, New Brunswick. There is "$15 million worth of stock on hand" if a farmer runs into problems and needs a part quickly. "We can't afford to not have the parts available," the company spokesman said. But the service doesn't stop there, added Mr. Krawiec. Krawiec. Technical support from the factories is available to the farmer. That means when the farmer leaves with the combine, he or she is not left on his or her own. "We provide service and operation instruction." With 120 bureaus throughout Canada, he said, the firm should be able to cope with any problems a farmer could run into. So what do a couple of the local farmers have to say about the newest combine on the market? "It's half the price of the North American made combine," combine," Ray Stapleton said. "I'm always looking for a new idea and technology," said Barry Bragg. "The price is cheaper and the head is a new style." "With anything, you don't know how good a product is unless you try it. It looks really good." Cost is something a farmer farmer has to consider, Mr. Bragg said. The harvester he now owns is rented out to other farmers in the area so he can pay for the cost and upkeep of the machine. In essence, farmers with smaller operations than Mr. Bragg's can't afford the higher priced combines. Perhaps now, they can afford afford to buy the Soviet- designed one supplied by Balarus Equipment of Canada Canada Limited.

Also it is within the headwaters of the Ganaraska River system. 3) The Region of Durham Waste Management Committee Committee has upset the lives of a large sector of the population population by proposing five sites at one time. The landowners have their land tied up for a period of up to six years. They will not be able to sell or improve their property until the properties are released released from this shadow put over them by this siting process. process.

The Canadian Cancer Society achieves its mission through programs of Research, Research, Education, Patient Services, Fund Raising and influence of public policy.

The Region may have contravened the Environmental Environmental Assessment Act in this process because of the flaws mentioned in this letter. letter. If one site is found to be inappropriate; then all sites are not appropriate. The Granaraska Dump Committee also thinks that the Waste Management Committee has not put enough effort into the "3R's" program to justify the siting of a (large) dump site. Our people are doing an experiment in the local area on the 3R's, which is showing showing good results. This program program has only been in operation operation for two weeks, ana 62 per cent of the households are taking part ( 109 of 175 households). These individuals individuals are producing one and three-quarters pounds of garbage per person per week, and it is our understanding understanding that the national average is approximately 20 pounds per week. There are more households taking part in this project as the "word" spreads, which began with a few simple phone colls to neighbors. The Region of Durham should put more energy into the 3R's, before looking for a dump site. We taxpayers would get more for our money, money, plus a cleaner environment environment for ourselves and our children. We would hope that the Waste Management Committee consider the points mentioned in this letter letter very seriously.
