He reminded Landis to be sure and check barn wiring,* before installing his fan and motor unit. Use at least No. 6 wire for a five horse-pow er motor. , Plan on curing each batch of hay from five to seven days. After about five days of curing, day and night, turn the fan off for a half day: Stand on top the hay and have the fan turned back on; then if you feel heat coming from the hay, you have to keep on When no heat comes out. you’re done. Use of field conditioners to crush hay stems and speed the wilting process to 40 per cent moisture content is a valuable supplement to barn drying equipment, McCurdy added. Following their visit to the Landis farm, Smith stat ed, “By the time you figure land-use, fertilizer and lime costs, mowing, raking and baling expense - —■ plus the hauling labor, hay represents a sizeable investment, even though it is the cheapest and one of the best winter feeds —IF quality is maintained.” t “Rain on hay, field-cured to storing condition, can re duce the feed value by one half This is expensive, when compared with $125 barn-curing costs The ability to get a quality crop in the field to the manger as high quality hay is becoming more important i n Lancaster County farming and this system can be a great aid,” he said The Extension Service has two special circulars on “ar tificial curing” of hay SC-43 is entitled, “Is Batch Hay Drying with Heated Air for A TRANSPLANTER FOR EVERY PURPOSE Row Width Adjustable from 34” to 72” Phone MOhowlc 5-2271 Lancaster Fanning.
