Checking out the barley crop

McTaggart-area farmer Roger Clay checks out some of the designated barley crop on Friday he had just harvested the day before, and stored in a shed normally used for calving. He and wife Maureen farm about 1,600 acres of various crops, including lentils, durum, oats, chickpeas and flax as well as malting barley, and said on Friday he was roughly half done his harvesting for this year; he added it was a rare treat to be this far ahead by the start of September.

What is this thing?

Weyburn resident Albert Schultz displays an odd-looking clamp with stainless steel rods given to him by a neighbour, Mary Hutt. She didn't know what this was used for, and Schultz doesn't know either; he notes the clamp head has these words stamped on the top: "Hefeld Eng. Co. Sav A Step," with the company located in Peoria, Ill. He was told the clamp and elbow are made of white metal; anyone with an idea what this was used for can contact him at home.
