AGRICULTURE - continued More settlers were arriving and more land was being cleared while machinery was brought in. Larger crops were sown and livestock was increased. Better homes were being built, frame buildings replacing log cabins and barns and stables made larger to house increasing crops. 1934... Mr. Chas. Hysert brought in the first International Cater- -o pillar. 1952... At present there are twenty-three tractors to replace labor formerly performed by horses. 1952 saw hay out by tract- ors hauling mowers, with side delivery rakes and hay balers m.clean the fields. These were followed by trucks and waggons loading the hay for its final toss up to the barn where it was stored in less space without too much effort, These greater facilities are a distinct advantage in this Northern Ontario as seasons for growth and harvesting are shorter than in more Southern parts. In 1951 and 1952 one thousand and over bushels of grain were threshed in a number of barns. in,” we» no“ bas-r-r.-.-.----' 'i, I _ _ ,. “an "rrl"1T""""""'""""'""-" _, _ I _ at; _ l, s ' 'i) ' t I §: 4? _ ' Mft' r ‘ i3; 7 i _ a, d E: h " W t I 'i, a?
