SECOND EFFORT
J.C. McEachren
Member CSAE
The success of Agricultural Engineers in meeting the challengesof the '70's willbe due mainly to our ability to work as part of a team and to exhibit thatessential element found on all winning teams, namely, second effort. With thehectic pace of today's modern business world and society in general, we cannotdrift with the current if we are to reach the other side of the stream.
Agricultural Engineers and the C.S.A.E. in particular are dedicated to thedevelopment and dissemination of engineering information necessary for thebetterment of agriculture. As stated by Brooks McCormick in his address at theopening of the A.S.A.E. headquarters building this year, past challenges havebeen to provide abundance - the quantity of life. To date, we have been successful in creating this environment ofquantity on this continent. Through rapidcommunications, travel and exchange programs, we have contributed to definiteimprovements in some underdeveloped areas. The question is: Are we progressing fast enough? This challenge will definitely continue to grow with worldpopulation. We must develop and disseminate knowledge and practices rapidlyto all parts of the globe.
In recent times, another challenge has come to the public forefront andit ishere that team approach by professionals from many disciplines will beneededto successfully meet it. Thissecond challenge is to maintain or create an environment of quality to realize satisfaction from the environment of quantity. Wemust recognize what has been destroyed in creating abundance and re-establish aliving environment for mankind. Man must learn to work with nature, notagainst her. Agricultural Engineers are the logical leaders to meet this challengebecause of their unique blend of engineering knowledge coupled with biologyand science developed through serving agriculture and nature. Our membersalready have a vast knowledge of the problems and are familiar with land, air andwater resources essential in an environment of quality. Group effort will beessential, as noone profession can solve thftchallenge alone, and it isparamountthat we work as an international team for the benefit of all.
I am sure we will meet this challenge; indeed we must if mankind is tosurvive. There is a great opportunity for agricultural engineers and ournationalsociety - C.S.A.E. - to establish themselves in the forefront as a profession.The contribution of our membership in providing knowledge and leadership tomeet this challenge will go far in providing us the public recognition many feel ispresently lacking.
From our varied positions andoccupations, let useachmake a resolution towork as a team and give that second effort so essential in meeting the challengeof the '70's. If we do this, I am sure we can achieve an environment of qualitythat will enable us to enjoy the environment ofquantity in the peace that thenations of the worldso desperately seek.
Let usnot be found wantingin secondeffort!
Canadian Agricultural Engineering publishes papers covering the general field of Agricultural Engineering that fit into one of the following classifications: 1) a scientific paperbased on original research; 2) a technical paper based on design, development, testing oranalysis of machines, equipment, structures, processes, or practice; 3) a general paper'oneducation relative to curricula and philosophy or trends in science, on a survey or investigation of some phase of research or research methods, or onextension or extension methodsThe Editoral Board may also publish abstracts of papers published elsewhere and interestingnews items of members or developments in Agricultural Engineering.
Manuscripts for publication should be submitted to the Chairman of the EditorialBoard. The papers must be originals and must not have been published elsewhere or copyrighted. The author, not the CSAE, is responsible for opinions expressed. Informationpublished in Canadian Agricultural Engineering may be quoted in whole or in part providedthat credit is given to the author and to the journal. Information on page, reprint and othercharges may be obtained from members of the Board.

NOTES TO CONTRIBUTORS
The Editorial Board will assess suit
ability and essential detail of papers sub-mi tted for publication in CanadianAgricultural Engineering. One or more reviewers will be used. Their comments and
suggestions will be compiled and submitted to the author. The review will ensure
that:
1. A research paper does represent apiece of research carried to a well-defined stage of advancement and thatthe conclusions are adequately supported by the experimental results.
2. A technical paper represents a clear,concise, and factual outline and interpretation of the development, design,test, or analysis under considerationand that it is a contribution in the
field of agricultural engineering.
3. A general paper on education, research, or extension is pertinent tomajor changes in curricula, research, orextension or to forward-looking developments in these areas.
MANUSCRIPT
The manuscript should be typeddouble-spaced on paper 8-1/2 x 11 in.(21.6 x 27.9 cm), with margins not lessthan 1-1/4 in. (3.3 cm). The first pageshould contain the title, author's nameand address, and any necessary footnotes.Tables and captions for illustrationsshould be on separate pages placed afterthe text. Manuscript paper with numbered lines is preferred. The original andtwo copies are required.

more authors, space names and addressesequally under the title. Use lower case except for the first letter of major words.Do not use abbreviations in the address.
If the author is a member of the Society,designate as Member CSAE.
ORGANIZATION
The paper should be organized to conform with present Journal practice.Research and technical papers must in
clude a short Summary section of about200 words.
| Major headings — Centre on the pagewith all words in capital letters.
Subheadings —Start at left-hand margin, capitalize first letter of major words.
Sub-subheadings — Start at left-handmargin, in lower case except first letter offirst word, and under line.
Technical and detailed information
should be included in only one fashion-by description, table, graph, chart, orphotograph.
References
List references alphabetically byauthors at the end. Include year of publication, title in lower case except firstletter of first word, and source, with volume and page numbers where applicable.Names of periodicals should be abbreviated in the form given in either the Listof Periodicals Abstracted by ChemicalAbstracts or the American Standard forPeriodical Title Abbreviations. Material in
press, with the name of the journal, maybe used as a reference. Private communi
cations and reports or numbered papersnot yet accepted for publication shouldbe referred to in parentheses in the textor in a footnote. References in the manu
script should be designated by arabicnumerals in parentheses.
Tables
Designate tables at the top by tablenumber (Roman numerals) and title, allin capital letters. All headings and otherinformation in tables are to be in lower
case except first letter of first word. Placethe table across the page wherever possible. Do not use vertical lines.
Measurements
Use the metric system in the textwhere practical or list metric equivalentsin parentheses after English units. Useonly one system in tables, charts, orgraphs.
Equations
Equations and formulas must be set upclearly. Use capitals for symbols as much
as possible and lower case for superscriptsand subscripts. Greek and other characters should be identified clearly. Equations should be numbered on the right-hand margin in large numbers and in linewith the centre of the equation.
Abbreviations
Typical phrases should be abbreviated(e.g., rpm, cps, hp, pto). They should betyped in lower case without periods.Abbreviate units of measures only whenused with numerals. Do not use abbrevia
tions in the title or the summary of apaper. Normally, numbers less than 10should be spelled out, e.g., six.
Paragraphs
If paragraphs are to be numbered, designate by arabic numerals. Designate subparagraphs by lower case letters inparentheses.
