Some OF the farmers say that wheat
cut with the binder weighs heavier than
that cut with header. The reason
given is that when the grain stands till
it is dead ripe, as must be the case where
ii is to be headed, it loses some OF its
weight If this is fact, then it is an
other point in favor OF the binder.
