Mechanizing tobacco growing which has followed traditional patterns for countless years, is "something like mechanizing a pitchfork," Wheeler said. Field Day Turnout Good New London County farmers turned out, an estimated 250 strong, for the first Farmers' Field Day in several years in their county last week.

The day was sponsored by the County Soil Conservation District and Extension Service. Those in charge considered it successful, although it isn't definite whether or not it will become an annual affair. The sponsors tried to keep it limited in scope to the interests ofcounty farmers. Jack Frankel of Lebanon, chairman of th county dairy committee, said. Accordingly, he said, most of those who attended wer county residents.

The field day was held at Fairview Farm in Norwichtown, owned by Nelson Polsby. Several features of the farm lent themselves well to the program, including trench silos, experimental clover plots, a pasture treated with a weed killing chemical, and a farm pond. Polsby's one-acre pond, built a year ago with Soil Conservation District aid, is mainly for recreation, Sherman Chase of the SCS said. He's stocked it with rainbow trout from a. fish hatchery in Rhode Island.

The pond is a popular neighborhood fish-ing spot. Polsby put in 150 rainbows, and that many have been taken out, he said. At the field day, Jim Galligan of the fish division of the State Board of Fisheries and Game told farmers about proper stocking of a farm pond. Weed Killer Works Well Polsby has two covered trench silos, each with 100 tons capacity, both filled with grass. They're covered with plastic sheeting, held down with hay, and have worked well, he said.

Extension Agricultural En-gineer Wilmot Irish demonstrated methods oi sealing a trench silo. The weed killer, Amino Triazole, has worked well to kill Canada Thistle, Polsby said. Farmers also had a chance to look over his herd of registered Guernseys, with a total of about 50 head including 25 milkers. The New England Nurserymen's Assn. will hold its annual summer meeting Wednesday, at Adams Nursery in Westfield, Mass.

About 450-500 nurserymen are expected at the all-day social affair. Also on Wednesday, the Southern New England Chapter of the Soil Conservation Society of America will meet for an all-day program, starting at 9:30 a.m., at Mystic Seaport. They'll also tour the UConn Marine Biological Laboratory at Noank. en dowa the plant. In a test run that Light and Whitaker ran when they showed me the machine, most of the leaves stripped off were nearly intact, although a few were mangled.

It's estimated that 80 to 90 per cent of the leaves harvested so far have been in good shape, Taylor said. In the test I saw, the machine completely missed one plant. This happens occasionally with plants that aren't lined up dead center in the row, Whitaker said. After they're taken off, the leaves fall and form a circle around the base of the plant. Light and Whitaker plan several modifications for the machine, one of which will be a conveyor to carry the leaves to a wagon or other collecting point after they're picked.

Curing Next Test 1 The leaves harvested by the machine will be strung on laths and cured. Then they'll be compared to binder tobacco cured normally. Taylor thinks it will be possible to make the comparison on the sorting bench, without having to make the leaves into cigars. If the tobacco harvested by the machine is aired successfully, the questions of whether anyone would want to manufacture it and how the tobacco thus handled could be used would arise. The engineers don't regard this machine as the only answer to the problem of mechanizing tobacco harvesting.

It was tried first, they said, because it seemed the simplest and most adaptable way of handling the crop mechanically. It may be eventually adapted to commercial use, or it may be scrapped completely in favor of another method, Whitaker said. They're going to try other approaches to the problem, although most of their energies this year will be devoted to the mechanical primer. This fall, Whitaker said, they may try a corn binder in several different ways: as a cutting mechanism, letting the tobacco drop after being cut, elevating it onto a trailer, or using the binder mechanism to tie it in bundles. May Be Quick-Cured In addition to barn-curing, it's also possible that leaves harvested with Light and Whitaker's machine could be cured quick-cured by the process developed by Dr.

Milton Zucker of the New Haven station staff. The Zucker process involves chopping green leaves and curing them chemically, ji If leaves harvested by their machine are to be barn-cured, it might be possible to develop a sewing process to handle the leaves more quickly than the process now used for shade tobacco which is normally harvested by priming, Whitaker said. The ultimate goal of this and further mechanization experiments will be to save money and labor for growers.

The machine Whitaker and Light have built is based generally on one that was developed about two years ago in North Carolina and is still considered in the experimental stage there. Whitaker and Taylor visited the North Carolina station earlier this year, and studied their machine. The North Carolina machine is used on tobacco that's normally harvested by primingpicking leaves from the bottom of the plant up, as they mature. It picks two or three leaves in each of several primings. Machine Picks All Leaves Whitaker and Light have adapted the picking method used on the North Carolina machine to strip all the leaves from a plant at one time.

Their machine is mounted on a tractor. It includes two continuous chains, with projecting metal enclosed and mounted on a tubular framework which extends to the side of the tractor. The chains are close together and are mounted so that they rise from the back to the front of the tractor, forming an angle with the ground. The chains are belt-driven from an air-cooled engine mounted directly behind the tractor. The small engine is being used so that it can be run at different speeds to determine the proper ground speed for the chain, Light said.

When this is determined, the machine can be belt-driven from the tractor power-take-off. In harvesting, the tractor is driven alongside a row of tobacco so that the tobacco plants are between the two chains. After the inclined chains make contact with the top of the plant, the paddles toward the top of the incline knock off the top leaves, and paddles lower on the incline knock off leaves cents plus 4 cents for return land.
