will fear that the outer layers will
slide off. Sometimes they will, but
that is better than having rain water

"At the peak, which should be 20 to
"a feet from the ground, the bundles
will overlap, and the cap sheaf should
be securely fastened by driving a
6-foot stake into the top of the stack.
Stacks well built should shed water
perfectly"
Mr.. Champlin calls attention to the
new farmers bulletin No. CTS entitled
Growing Hard Spring Wheat, just
issued by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. This bulletin
is brief and to the point and 1t con-
tains much valuable information based
on experiments and observations in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. A copy
can be had free by application to the
Editor Of the Division of Publications,
Washington, D. c.
In addition IN tho f~orag0inp things il
emphasizes is the economy of stack
ing wheat instead of threshing from
the shock, although the latter practice
is more common in the spring wheat
belt at the present time, owing to the
belief hat 1t increases the net profit
by reducing the cost of production.

1T PAYS TO STACK

1t pays to stack grain. Stacking en-
ables the farmer to thresh at his con-
v%enience, and it gives a better color
and quality of grain. This is the gist
of some suggestions made by Manley
Champlin, OF the State College agron-
omy department relative to stacking
grain. He says:
1T is very doubtful whether shock
threshing pays as well as stacking
when the advantages Of stacking are
considered. Stacking gives greater
protection and this usually results in
better color and better quality Of
grain. Stacked grain al be threshed
economically and the threshing may
be delayed until 1t Is convenient to
have it done without material injury
to the crop.
First, build a large, round stack or
stock, about 8 feet in diameter; then
place two layers of bundles, one di-
rectly on top Of the other with heads
resting against the shock, and the
butts forming the 10-foot circular base.
The next row is laid with the butts
extending just past the bands Of the
outer row, like shingles, and so on,
overlapping the rows a little more as
the center is approached; then begin
again at the outside.
Shocked bundles have a slanting
butt. Lay the successive outer layers
with the long edge of the butt on top
and projecting beyond the layer be-
meath. Increase the diameter in this
way until a height of 7 or s feet is
reached. This forms the bulge.
Always keep the center high and
firmly tramped. Do not tramp the
outer layer at all. If possible, have
loads pitched from different sides of
the stack to obtain more even tramp
ing.
From the bulge the stack should
