HARVESTING IN SOUTH
Suggestions for Handling Crops
for Hay or Straw.
Best Results Obtained Where Wheat
or Oats Are Cut In milk" or
Very Soft Dough State-Guard
Against Bad Weather.

prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Methods of handling wheat and oats
vary widely in different localities. In
the South the harvest is in some ways
differently conducted than in the
North. There are, however, a number
of operations which farmers almost
universally have found to their advan-
tage. Where the neighborhood in
which wheat or oats are grown is SO
far distant that threshing machines
are not readily available, farmers
have found it more feasible to cut the
wheat and oats either as hay or to tie
the crops into medium-sized bundles
to be fed as straw.
Provided the wheat or oats crop is
intended for hay, best results are OBJ
tanned where the crops are cut in the
milk" or very soft dough stage. The
stalks will be mostly green, or just
beginning to show signs of ripening
below. After cutting, the oats or
wheat should be cured, and handled
exactly as any other common grass
hays. II conditions are favorable, the
hay will have a bright green color, but
IL cutting is delayed until the grain is
in the full dough stage, the hay will
be dry. hard and bleached and the
feeding value diminished.
II 1t is intended to feed the grain In
the straw, the cutting should be put
of until the grain has reached the
hard dough stage and most of the
stalks have taken on a yellow color.
Under favorable weather conditions
the grain will cure sufficiently for
storage purposes in six OF eight days
If put up in carefully made round
shocks of nine bundles each, including
one cap bundle. Near the coast. where
frequent rains are to be expected at
this season, grain should be put In
small shocks. containing only six
bundles. and left uncapped so that it
will dry out quickly after a rain. 1t is
to tear down and spread
these small shocks after rains, as ii
sometimes is with larger ones. The
bundles, of course, should be shocked
in order to avoid the pos-
sibility of loss from bad weather.
When the crop is grown not for
feeding purposes but for sale or for
seed the cutting should be postponed
still further until the grain has passed
the hard dough stage. II it is permit
ted to become dead ripe, however, the |
quality is not so good and the loss |
from SCATTERING considerable. Where |

otherwise. The grain. shocked In the
manner already mentioned, should be

cured and then threshed without de-
ay. II no threshing machine is avail.
able at once, the grain should be
,ither stacked or stored In barn dur.
ng the interval.
On small farms where storage space
s not abundant 1t will probably pay
he farmer to sell the grain as soon as
is threshed. With the exercise of a
title cooperation he may arrange with
he neighbors to make up a sufficient
Iuantity to ship out as a carload. II

HER FIRST PATIENT
American Girl Tells of Expert

Compelled to Hold Stretcher-Bearers
to Work, Nurse Has Strenuous
Time Getting Wounded Man
to Surgeons.

|
unteered for service with Red Cross
ambulance in Belgium sends the fol
lowing account of her first case:
THE commandant doctor with
whom | was assigned to work had
taken me far up toward the front,
where a Belgian battery was sta.
toned. While he attended to some
trif1ing injuries, there came the sound
of cannonading, and news that the
Germans were attacking the very Sec
ton where We were working.
Suddenly, at what seemed the last
minute of safety, two Belgian stretch
er-bearers, without stretcher, rushed
up to me. They said there was a
man badly wounded somewhere up
the road. l found a stretcher and
went off with them to look for him.
I'VE went on and on. 1t probably
wasn't more than 500 yards, but it
seemed like a very long way; it
seemed impossible to find the house.
Then some women came running and
pointed out the place. The stretcher-
bearers hurried off with their stretch
er. l followed.
THE man, horribly hurt, with a
wound like red pit below his Shout
der blades, was brought and laid on
the stretcher. He lay there quietly
on his side, in a posture of utter res
ignation to anguish.
10 pn1o ia cir

face, narrowing suddenly as the fringe
of his whiskers became a little strag-
Cling beard. But to me he was the
most beautiful man l had ever seen.
l loved him. He was my first wound
ed man!
Il tried-I still try-to persuade
myself that if l hadn't bullied my
two bearers and repulsed an attempt
to get my stretcher away for some
other patient. he would have been
left behind in that little house We
got him out of the yard all right,
and on the paved road. Then, to
my horror, the bearers dumped him
down on the paving stones. They
said he was much too heavy. They
couldn't possibly carry him unless
they rested.
Il didn't think 1t was exactly the
moment for resting, and told them
so in several languages. The Ger
mans were likely to come around the
turn in the road at any time. You
never know!
But the bearers stood stolidly in
the middle of the road and mopped
their faces and pulled. The situation
began to be as absurd and terrible
as nightmare. So grabbed on one
end of the stretcher and said l would
carry it myself. l said I wasn't very
strong. and perhaps couldn't do 1t, but
anyhow, / would try.
They picked 1t up at once then,
and started of at a good swinging
trot over the rough paving stones,
1olting my poor patient horribly. /
suggested that they walk on the
smooth path at the side. They hailed
this suggestion as a most brilliant and
original idea.
"As my patient was brought into
the village where the battery was
stationed the ambulance had got its
wounded and was ready to CO. But
he had to have his wound dressed.
He lay there in the middle of the
street and / had to watch while the
surgeon stuffed his wound with anti
septic gauze. had always supposed
that the dressing of a wound was a
