Page 14 The sweet scent of dried hay, mixed with the sour fumes of fermented silage bring visions of rolling fields and barnfuls of con- tented cows chewing their way through winter. The tractors, balers and harvesters provided the mood for the Hay, Feed, Handicraft and Machinery Show at the Embrun Recreation Centre parking lot. Inside, rows of tables keep the farmers and his family busy learn- ing about the latest developments in agriculture. Company represen- tatives explained the farm im- plements, spreaders, balers and loaders. Models of houses and barns displayed by a construction com- pany tempted the farmer to ex- pand his operatjon. But the banks displays reminded him this. is an expensive proposition right now. '*We try to make it as easy as we can, says Clement Gagnon, bank manager of the Bank of Com- merce branch in Embrun. "We know people shop around, but we're pleased with our progress in helping the farmers here in the past year." An extensive handicrafts display included -- prize-winning samples of crochet, knitting, weaving and quilting.
