Dairy Business wagons. One man stood by the chopper to regulate the flow so the pipe didn’t clog A tramper in the silo and an extra floater to fill in wherever needed completed the crew. (Continued from Page C 3) and go to the next snag. It was with great fear and many prayers that I finally reached the top and secured the ladder with a bit of rusty wire Then the real terror of heistmg the long pipe and securing it with more rusty wires began None of the silos in our neigh borhood had a trustworthy roof The only way to support the weight of the distributor pipe was to jerry rig a two by four truss across the top of the silo and chain the pipe to that. The whole operation had to be done while holding on for dear life with one leg curled around the top rung of the ladder while enduring the insults and jibes of the fatheads on the ground, who wouldn’t have climbed up there themselves for any pay. It seemed like Heaven when I finally climbed down and stood on solid ground. About 7 a.m. the old Fordson tractor was cranked, with much grunting and cussing, and the first load of hand cut com pulled up to the cutter. The teams were pretty skittish at the noise of the tractor and slapping of the belt. But after a couple of loads, they calmed down and were glad to rest while the driver unloaded the corn, a handful of stalks at a time, and fed it into the chopper. The usual crew consisted of five teamsters, six men to cut corn and four to help pick it up and load the EXPERT REPAIRS FENCERS ' A •GENERATORS { ]- 1 •STARTERS \ r* •ALTERNATORS PEQUEfI BATTERIES^*® Rooks, PA «s» on Page A-11 AT LAST!!

Then the crew gathered around the pump in the front yard and lathered up with tar soap in preparation for the feast. And a real feast it was. Every cook prepared her specialties, and in super abundance. My mother’s was fried chicken, ham, sweet potatoes and lima beans Ellie Pentz always made chilled nee with bananas plus the regular goodies. Dinner always ended with pie; apple, peach, cherry or raisin. By evening the silo was full and the rig torn down to be moved to the next farm. Guess who was elected to climb the rickety ladder and repeat the terror of setting up the pipe! But I have to admit that the joy of working and eating together with the whole community far overshadows the hard work and fear of climbing. Community silo filling marked the high point of the year, and something was lost forever when we no longer banded together to do the hard jobs MORE ANSWERS FOR ENERGY?
