Grain Drier
Finished
Construction of a new Shanzer
Grain Drier will be completed at
the site of Tuiana Farms elevators
at cmloquin witnin a weeit, ac
cording to Ben Henzel, partner In
the enterprise.
This drier, which has a capacity
of 1.000 bushels per hour and tow
ers 78 feet in the air, will greatly
expedite the storing ana shipping
of grain, especially when the crop
is damp or harvested Derore tne
seed Is thoroughly ripe. It will also
remove the danger of spontaneous
combustion always prevalent in
large storage plants.
Barley crops on uuiana $ upper
Lake, Tulelake and Lower. Klamath
Lake farms are. especially good
this year and harvesting will start
about August 20,. Henzel stated.
