Its operation and possible future was recently re ported on by Clyde Walker, as sociate professor of agricultural engineering at OSC. Tests made at other experiment stations show that the capacity of such baler for a full season is around 1.6 tons per hour, though it has a theoretical capacity of close to five tons per hour. Those who have used this new type outfit say it is economical in labor costs and permits putting up a belter quality hay than when • extra handling is practiced. \>eather conditions would be more of a factor with this outfit, believes Professor W'alker, though in com mercial hay sections of Eastern Oregon growers would encounter little difficulty from this source.
