n N MANY parts of the Northwestern
states there is promise Of an abund-
ant crop of straw. This means a
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.
In such an eventuality loss will fol-
low to greater or less extent, as
1t did in the autumn Of 1912. Is it
3ot the duty of every farmer to pre-
pare for such a contingency? How
can he do it? He can do it in part at
least by stacking part of the grain.
In the Northwestern states the
practice of threshing from the shock
is almost universal. 1t 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 q very long
period.
That such result must follow can
be easily shown. Usually the number
of threshing outfits is only sufti-
cient to do the work in 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 much longer Pc
Rod. 1t will also mean that the loss
will be increased. And if the weather
proves bad it will be still further in
creased.
This hazard may be materially re-
duced by stacking part of the crop,
even though it should prove impossi-
BILE to stack it all. The portion
stacked, if well stacked, is safe from
hazard. 1t may be threshed in the
late autumn even after the ground has
frozen. The land from which the

STACKING A PART OF The CROP. !;

shocks have been removed may be
plowed and thus made ready for the
next seasons crop, whereas II the
shocks still occupied the ground, it
could not be so plowed.
Suppose farmer has reaped his
crop and yet he is unable to get
machine to thresh 1t. What should
prevent him from beginning to stack
1t at once? What should hinder him
from continuing to stack until the
whole is completed, IL he has still to
wait 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 more of
his ground put in a condition for be.
ing plowed.
While 1t is true that the stacking
does add to the cost of handling the
crop as compared with threshing
from the shock, it does not add so
much to the cost as many suppose
The grain has to be drawn in any
event from the shock, whether

not involve much more labor to draw
to the sta"b than to draw to the ma
chine directly. of course there is
more labor in the extra handling of
the sheaves. 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 a crop after it has been
grown.
1t 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 showery. The threshing
machines could not nearly handle TIE
crop in time. Much of the wheat re.
NAMED in the shock all winter and
much of the flax 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.
1t need not be so allowed Ordinarily
if a farmer loses crop after it has
been reaped, it is, at least measure.

HOW MANY
MEMBERS?

Win the local board Of education be
composed OF ten members or five mem
bers after the first Monday in May?
This is the conundrum with which
the members OF the board are now
wrestling. A law enacted by the last
legislature reduced the membership of
the board by one half but there is a
question as TO the time when the re-
duction is to become effective and 1t
appears likely that the courts will have
to decide it.
AT the last meeting of the board the
question was discussed and II was
agreed by all that it was important
that the matter be definitely settled as
the legality Of the boards acts would
be affected by it. 1t was finally de-
cided to pass the problem up to the
two lawyer members, Alger Melton and
VIM Stacey. who will decide as to
what legal steps shall be taken to set
tie the question They have not yet
agreed upon the procedure to be fol-
lowed.
