WHEAT Is Spelling.
Farmers Won't Be Able to Thresh
All of 1t This Year.

j. D. Smith returned to MINNEAPOLIS
Saturday night after an extended trip
through the country, full Conformation
about the crops. He has been in all
parts of the state in the interest of a
threshing machine company. His bust
ness has brought him into direct contact
with the farmers, and he is we'll able to
tell how they are situated.
81 tell you," said he yesterday,
"there will be a good deal of wheat
spoiled this year. The farmers cannot
take care of it. L have just come back
from the Red river country, and on al
most every farm up there you will see
acres of wheat that is still standing in
fields, exposed to all storms. The
threshing of the present crop has
only just begun. / believe that it
will. be an absolute impossibility
to get the crop threshed before the be-
ginning of the year. There are not
enough machines to do it. But the
farmers could get the machines if they
could get the men. Help is short.
Every man has big acreage of wheat,
and the yield is SO much greoter than it
has been in years that the ordinary
amount of help is of little avail in
handling it. Meanwhile the wheat
stands in the shock out of
doors. the rain falls upon it
and a good deal of it will be utterly
spoiled. What does not spoil will be
badly damaged. | never could under
stand why the Western farmer does not
take to stacking at least part of his
crop, as his brother of the East does.
He would make more work for himself,
but his wheat would be safe until the
thresher could get around to him. 1t
may not be intentional laziness on his
part, but it Is neglect that costs him a
good deal of money year like this"
