Stack Needle
Cuts Hay Work
A needle in a haystack is more
than something to look for, in the
opinion of Claude Butts, foreman
of the Norman Elliott ranch in
Baker county, Ore., who invented
a «haystack needle that cuts the
work of cattle feeding to about
a third of the labor required by
hand methods.

detail in Extension Bulletin 666
issued by Oregon State college,
makes possible threading cables
through a haystack so that an en
tire load of hay may be dumped
off into a feeding sled with one
pull of a team or tractor.
This homemade device consists
of a needle point made from a
section of a harrow disc. This
is welded to a threaded rod coup
ling which screws on to a three-
eighth inch rod long enough to
reach through the stack. Once
thrust through the stack the spear
point is replaced by a shielded
hook with which a cable is pulled
back through the hay.
This process is repeated with
a second cable, after which the
ends of both are attached to
the sled by chains, while the
opposite ends are thrown up over
the stack and back across the
sled. The same team or tractor
that pulled the sled can then roll
the part of the stack above the
cables onto the sled with ease.
Two men experienced with this
method can drive along side a
stack, place the cables, and load
from two to three tons of hay
on a sled in 10 minutes or less
and with a minimum of labor. The
buleetin contains spetche^ showing
construction and operation of the
device.

Highway Death
Rate Declines
Oregon’s highway death rate is
falling, it is announced by Robt.
S. Farrell, Jr., Sec’y. of state.
Fatalities were slightly over 10
for each one hundred million miles
of driving, during the first half
of this year, the decrease being 14
per cent from last year’s rate.
This decrease in the face of a
sharp increase in the actual num
ber of traffic deaths, and reflects
the unprecedented mileage being
piled up on the state's highways.
Last year’s’ rate was almost 12
deaths per hundred million mules.
Farrell warned that any les
sening in the caution exercised
by motorists or pedestrians could
quickly reverse the new trend.
All over the country the dtn**~
rate is falling slightly when re
garded in the light of traffic rel
ume, but authorities are not yet
certain whether this is a genuine
trend or merely a freak of chance.
The Oregon decline is slightly
greater than that of the reat of
the nation.
