After working madly from about
2'CO v/edensday afternoon until some
t.i o cho next morning, Messrs Bell
ar.o McKee completed the installing
of the new Continues Freezer in the
C'o-op Creamery.
The new machine was first used on
Thursday. It makes I50 gallons of
ice cream an hour.
The weather conditions have been
very unusual this summer. First
it was a grcnt doal warmor than u
sual according to the weather bur
eau reports in late June and early
July. Then the temperature dropped
to a low mark at the end of July.
Since then it has rained most of
the time.
Some of the wheat and other ear
ly planted grains were a short
crop. Also silos that ordinarily
took from 7 to 10 acres took up
to 15 acres to fill. A sudden
near-typhoon early this week twist
ed and flattened the later grain
and hay in the fields; much of it
will have to be cut one way, entail
a great deal of extra time and wori
and some of it is so flat,cutting
seems nearly impossible.
