The "Iron Priest" came out in first place with "Salem" second and "Metal gods", third, Iron Priest were awarded the $20.00 prize. THE AUTUMN HARVEST It would be rather difficult to drive around the countryside countryside these last four to six weeks and not be aware, of the annual fall harvest. Certainly Certainly the change into autumn has the farmer busy bringing in his crops, ÿe it - tobacco, apples, corn, beans, etc. and as well preparing for the growing cycle that starts off again in the spring. It's a different game today to that of years ago and as 1 pass by those big corn combines combines and seven-furrow plows drawn By a monstrous tractor* I begin to recall the days living living across the road from the Selby Dobbs farm in Beeton. All power came from a stable of six horses to which Selby could talk continuously ■ with his 'Gees' and 'Haws'. No stereo sets in those days for yotf provided your own , music one way or another along with the tingle of harness, and its fittings. " I always tried to be available for those days that haying was underway for 1 ", jld be allowed to drive the : single horse pulling the hay up to the rooftop door, to then be carried into the barn along the hay fork track. Of qourse- the horse knçw more about the job than I and was very conscious of the sounds and especially metal hitting metal when the hay fork engaged into the hay fork £ar at the peak of the barn. Immediately the horse would stop, knowing full well its work was done for the time being and then would return to the starting point for the next load to be pulled up. ■ . I can recall there was some skill in building the load so that the hay fork would take all up in four loads and then there was the use of slings instead instead of the hay fork to transport the hay into the loft. -Well today that process is non-existing and much of the handling is all undertaken by machinery and especially so with those big round rolls of hay we see placed outside. Just the*other day driving along the Taunton Road west of Orono we viewed some strange looking equipment in a field which turned out to be a stone picker. What next we 'thought and what has happened happened to the old stone boat and the back-breaking work that went along with it. All relegated to the past and no doubt without a whimper. Even the apple trees are getting smaller but it does appear appear that they must be producing producing as much or more per acre than those big trees of the past that one climbed all over to get at the fruit. Many of our readers no doubt will still remember those great days of the threshing machine'and all it meant with the gang coming to the farm for two or three days to bring in the fall harvest. Not only hard work but a lot of companionship with neighbours and friends and a table piled with the best from the land and the recipes of the lady of the house. Times certainly change and not only in farming but in all industries. When attending a recent printing equipment show we were often hard put by to determine just what it was and just what it did. It's all in the past only to be replaced by.robotics, computers computers and we now note in the printing inçlustry'the use of laser beams,' John Reid, principal, distributes boxes to (top row) Natalie Anderson, Nicole Steam bank stabilization was a major project for the year undertaken during the summer program of work by Last ween at tne urono Public School UNICEF boxes were distributed to tnose students wisnmg to collect collect on Hallowe'en for UNICEF.
