 "Liqour's appeal to the Nation" which was in the form of set of res olutions drafted by the Liquor Dealers Conference, recently held in Washing ton, was ably answered, and clearly proved that the liquor dealers have no just claim on the people for contin- uation of their nefarious business.
 "How he paid his $1000.OO tax" showed that by adulteration and fraud the one who sells liquor must "kill a man" for every dollar he pays to the state in revenue.

 "How the W. C. T. U. has developed woman" gave striking contrast be- tween the woman who has the broader vision of helping to redeem humanity to the one of smaller satisfaction who deals in nothing larger than fancy work"

STACKING 4 AR OF TIE CROP !.
BY PROFEss0R THOMAS SHAW.

80 {

IN MANY parts of the Northwestern
states there Is promise Of an abund-
ant crop Of straw. This means q
prolonged season Of threshing, even
though the weather should prove ia.
vorable for such work. Should 1t
prove unfavorable the season Is pro-
pOrtionately still further prolonged.
I In such an eventuality loss will fol-
low to greater or less extent, as
1T did in the autumn of 1912. Is 1t
not the duty Of every farmer to pre-
pare for such contingency? How
can he do it? He can do 1t in part at
! least by stacking part OF the grain.
In the Northwestern states the
practice OF threshing from the shock
is almost universal. It is the out
come first of the dry character Of the
weather which usually occurs at har-
vest time and subsequently. and sec
ond of the less labor involved In the
handling of the grain. But when the
growth OF straw is unusually abund-
ant, there is always some hazard In
Cured, as the threshing of the grain
must in such case cover very long
period.
That such result must follow can
be easily shown. Usually the number
OF threshing outfits is only sufi-
cient to do the work in a normal sea-
son. That season only covers some
eight to ten weeks This means. how
ever, that some Of the grain must
stand In the shock for many weeks
before it is threshed, and this is al
ways attended with more or less OF
loss. A heavy crop Of straw will mean
that some of the grain must remain
In the shock for a much longer pc
Rod. It will also mean that the loss
will be increased. And If the weather
proves bad 1t will be still further in:
creased. @
This hazard may be materially re-
duced by stacking a part of the crop,
even though It should prove impossi-
BILE to stack it all. The portion
stacked, II well stacked. is safe from
hazard. It may be threshed in the
late autumn even after the ground has
frozen. The land from which the

next season s crop. whereas IL the
shocks still occupied the ground. il
could not be 50 ploWed.
Suppose a farmer has reaped his
crop and vet he is unable. to get q
machine ton athresh 1t. What should
prevent him from beginning to stack
u at once? What should hinder him
from continuing to stack until. the
whole is completed, IL he has still to
walt for the machine to come? Every
stack that he builds means so much
more Of his grain rendered safe from
hazard. It means SO much moreskof
his ground put in condition for be-.
ing plowed -
While It Is true that the stacking.
does add tosthe cost of handling the
crop as compared with threshing
from the shock, it does not add 50
much to the cost as many suppose.
The grain has to be drawn in any
event FROM the shock. whether
threshed at once or stacked. It does
not involve much more labor to draw
to the stac than to draw to the ma
chine directly OF course there is
more labor lin the extra handling OF
the sheaves.F The saving Of the. crop,
however. is the great matter. A lit.
tie extra labor is not or should not
be allowed to stand in the way Of the
safety Of crop after it has been
grown. as -. 81
It Is we'll to consider this matter
in time. The lesson Of 1912 should
not be forgotten. The growth Of
straw was very heavy that year. The
harvest was Eshowery. The threshing
machines could not nearly handle the
crop in time. Much of the wheat Re.
NAMED in the shock all winter and
much Of the fax lay in the sheaf
form under the snow until the spring.
But little fall blowing was done in
many localities, to the great injury
OF the crop the following year. This
should not be allowed to occur again.
It need not be so allowed. Ordinarily
If farmer loses a crop after it has
been reaped, 1t is, at least measure
bly,, his own fault.
