Preparing sheaf Grain for Exhibition
In selecting and preparing grains
in sheaf for exhibit one should seek
to get the best filled and best devel-
oped heads with straw that is bright
and clean from rust CT other disease
After gathering the grain should be
kept where it is free from injury or
dirt and in darlened place so as to
retain its natural color.
Tie the bundles at the base, in the
S i
middle and at the top just below the
heads. In this last band do not tie SO
tight as to break the straw. Use a
soft raffia or cord or any wide band
cloth.
Strip the leaves from each straw
with a stick (sharpened like knife
blade). This will make a neat uniform
looking bundle. The less such grain
is handled the better for it. Hang it
up heads down until ready to send;
then wrap carefully and pack in such
a way that no breakage can come to
it during shipment.
Preparing Grains for Exhibition
In preparing any samples Of grain
or other threshed see1s for exhibition
purposes, there area few points which ]
must be borne in mind # first prize
exhibits are to be obtained. The chief
Of these are, viz:
u Absolute freedom from dust,
dirt, and weed seed. The tanning
mill and grain graders will affect
this condition when properly used
~ Uniformity in size, color and
maturity Of seeds and freedom from
broken seeds. The tanning mills and
grain graders viii be Of assistance IN
securing. these points, but care n
harvesting. storing, etc, are neees-
sary adjuncts.
