C. Homemade Weighing Bin Speeds Work Device Aids Automatic Feed Handling Setup It is an old saying that aU farm equipment was Lrst thought of by a farmer. Whether that saying holds true may be questioned. But it is certain that much of it did come into being as the result of ideas which some farmer had concerning ways to improve and speed up the performance of his various chores. A pertinent example of this fact is shown in the accompanying illus tration. It shows a homemade weighing bin, which was conceived by a Midwestern farmer for use with his automatic feed handling setup. It holds several tons of feed and is fixed to the ceUing by a series of heavy springs and tumbuckles, one spring being located at each corner of the bin in the center of two turnbuckles. Tension on the springs moves a pointer across a scale at the bottom of the bin to indicate weight up to 3,200 pounds. A slide gate at the bottom of the bin permits feed to spill out into a cart in desired quantities. The bin Home-made “weighing bin,” built by Midwestern farmer. is placed below a chute leading from a two-ton mixer in the barn mow. The entire setup operates as follows: Whole grain is blown into an overhead bin, from which it flows into a blower-equipped hammermill on the first floor. Ground grain is blown back into the mixer and then drops into the weighing bin. The mixer and grinder are operated by five-horsepower motors, whereas the whole grain is blown into the storage bin by tractor power. Automatic Egg Washer To Nurse In Mexico Miss Pauline Willingham, of Whitmire was one of the thirty five young people commission-, ed for missionary service by the Board of Missions and Church Extension of the Mleth- odist Church, on December 10. The commissioning service was held in connection with the Board’s annual meeting at Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania. These thirty five young people are part of the more than 1,000 that the Board expects to add to its home and foreign mis sionary staff during the next few years in its program of “Advance” in all fields. The service of commissioning was conducted by Bishop Ar thur J. Mtoore, of Atlanta, Ga., president of the Board of Mis sions, assisted by the presidents of the Boards four * divisions. Charges to the class were made by the Rev. Herbert J. Riley, missionary in Tuguegarao, Phil ippine Islands, who was a pris oner of the Japanese for three yars during the war; by Miss Hyla Stuntz, born in India of Missionary parents, and former ly engaged in youth relief work in France and Germany; by Miss Emma Burris, director of Marcy Center; and by the Rev. George W. Dolch, a home mis sionary in Anchorage, Alaska. (Miss Willingham, who was born in Whitmire, was educat ed at Newberry College and Pabody College for Teachers.

The device makes it possible for two persons to wash, dry and pack five cases of eggs an hour, five times as fast as the same jobs could be done by hand. As most poultrymen and their wives spend from two to four evenings a week cleaning eggs by hand, this ma chine will result in a big saving in time.
