How Japanese Harvest Corn.

The Japanese have a queer way Of
harvesting their wheat Instead Of
ruthlessly cutting 1t down with a
scythe or reaper, they pull up much
Of it by hand, and clip of the roots
With shears. for they wish 70 keep the
beautiful, long golden straws from
getting bruised or broken. With the
Japanese, who do everything neatly
and allow nothing to go to waste, the
straws are almost as valuable as the
grain. They first hatten the straws,
and then. after being softened, they
are woven, either whole or split. into
mating, baskets, hats and many
other articles.
