A woman’s brain (says a London correspondent) is behind the research carried out by Oxford University's institute of agricultural engineering into the problem of how to make the farmer independent of weather conditions in harvesting his crops. The wife of Captain B. J. Owen, the director of the institute, suggested the hairdresser’s use of hot air for hairdrying as a guide in solving the problem. Captain Owen said that he tried the idea with very satisfactory results. Haystacks had been dried with hot air in 10 hour- at a . cost much less than that of drying in a. field by 'ordinary means. The principle of the process, which was demonstrated to fanners and representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture at the university farm, Sandford, near Oxford, is I to drive hot air into the central cliam- ! her of a hav or corn rick and radiate it to all parts.
