Struggling with the Harvest.

AS the result of our cool. wet season
there is an excessive growth of straw
in all kinds of grains. all of which
so far as possible should be left upon
the land. As a practical farmer and
thresherman l find 1t very unprofit-
able to cut grains of any kind so as
to make bundles more than two and
one-half feet long. Every inch of
the straw left on the field means just
so much fertility returned to the soil.
Then there is just so much less straw
to be handled in the rush of stack
ing and threshing by high priced help.
only later to be hauled back to the
field as fertilizer. with the added
chance that 1t may never get back.
Excess straw may cause serious

able to both farmer and threshermau.
Grain cut in bundles two and one-half
feet or less seldom wrap on the cyIin-
der of the machine, while grain cut in
much longer bundles will almost in
variably wind if much moisture is
present. 1t takes more twine to bind
long-cut bundles than short ones and
every inch of straw left on the field
where heavy stands are cut means
something like ton less of straw
to the acre to shock, stack, thresh
and return to the field as fertilizer.
There is another thing which l have
been expecting to hear some of our
county agriculturists hand to the
people-but they have been too busy
on the boys corn contest, canning
demonstrations and alfalfa stem blight
cases to pay much attention to real
farming. This has to do with the
sickle in the harvester. The other
day l heard farmer ask our local
| implement dealer what the extra sec
tions were worth and heard him reply
that they were five cents each. Out
of curiosity and thinking to aid him
examined his sickle and found not
one good section on it although he
declared had just purchased it new
/ last year. The sickle bar contained
twenty-four sections which at five
cents each would have cost him 81. 20,
besides the rivets to say nothing of
I
in putting them on. l inquired the
price of a new sickle for this make
of harvester which was $3.50 or only
S1.40 more than the sections alone
would have cost him. l advised him
to buy new one which he did.
l wish to add that the sickle of
harvester, header or mower is the
vital part of the machine and if it is
not well fitted in and sharp. good
work cannot be done with the best
machine on earth, no matter how
skillful may be the operator or
how good the horses or grain or the
grass to be cut. A sickle which has
cut heavy weeds or sweet clover or
trimmed ditch banks for thirty min
utes should never be left in a har-
vester or header to cut grain with as
all the teeth on its sections are either
broken or dulled and should be re-
placed with a new one and the old one
kept to cut the weeds. Why do some
of We agriculturists not succeed well?
Because We do not stop to think

Here In Idaho we have just had
three important court decisions to es.
tablish our water rights. The first Is
n decision by the United States court
sustaining the established proposition
that beneficial use of water acquires
TO the user the rights to the water.
Another. decision by the supreme
court of Idaho holding that water is
property right. not dependent upon
any other thing and consequently not
appurtenant to the land.
would like to give a little history
of the settlers difficulties here on
the Twin Falls tract. The two mil
lion dollar system designed and erect
ed by the Kuhns of Pittsburg, now
defunct, was accomplished in good
faith. Our dam and distributing sys.
TENS are models. The fatal error that
haste led the promotion company into
was the failure to accurately deter
mine the flow of water of the river
upon which the success OF the whole
enterprise depended. The flow OF the
Salmon river. the only available source
was estimated to be around five hun
dred thousand acre feet yearly on the
average.

To Stack or Not to Stack.

l have owned and operated thresh-
ing outfits since 1873 and in these
thirty-seven years of experience the
great advantage of stacking grain
before threshing has become very
plain to me. The worst feature of
shock threshing is that somebody
must wait to have his threshing done
and crops are often badly damaged
during this anxious period. When the
machine does come the wheat is often
not fit to put in the bin or to be
marketed. In shock threshing we
as all shock threshers do. as a matter
of convenience. Threshers are under
heavy expense and they must shove
the wheat through lively if they are
to make anything. l never saw
thresher with a large bank account.
1t is one constant rush and hurry and
wheat in the shock is often threshed
in the morning with the dampness
still on it.
In stack threshing the threshers' eX-
penses are only a fraction of what
they are in shock threshing and the
farmer saves margin of four cents
a bushel on his threshing bill, besides
all the other advantages. We haul
and stack our own grain in the feedlot
where the straw will be handy for feed
and bedding, besides giving us hun
dreds of loads of splendid manure.
We have a manure spreader and find
we are putting back on our land as
much or more than we are taking
from it. | have seen hundreds of
straw stacks burned as the machine
pulled out and the results of this
great waste are now plainly in view.
In the early days when our land was
new l threshed in fields that averaged
thirty-five bushels of wheat an acre.
Now the same fields are averaging
only fifteen bushels and often sadly
less than that. l cannot understand
why farmers will suffer the loss of
millions of dollars each year by pill
ing their wheat on a glutted market
as soon as they can thresh from the
shock. Very often this wheat, in
damaged by rain and they are cut
from ten to twenty cents bushel
by shippers in addition to their other
losses. Two years ago l held 1000
bushels until the first rush was past
and made thirty cents difference in
price between shock threshing time
and when l sold.
This meant just 5000 in my favor.
besides the saving of $50 on the
threshing bill by reason of stacking
my grain. Last year | had even
greater difference on account of the
war coming on as it did, for the av-
cents bushel. AS everyone knows
such wheat goes through the sweat
and comes out of the stack in much
better condition, tests better, has a
better color and can thus be marketed
to greater advantage than shock
threshed wheat. For years l have
pleaded with my neighbors to stack
their wheat for their own good and
many of them are doing it this year.
l approve OF everything the Field and
Farm has said on this subject and we
would all have been a good deal better
off here on the plains if this advice
had been needed during all the long
years that shocking has been going
on.-F. P. Mercer in Field and Farm.
