That much attention must be given

About the only thing that can be
done now is to keep turning the bun
dies" said Mr.. Cooper. Il have been
into the fields and see that in many
cases the shocks are enormous. Some
of them are 10 to 15 feet long With
the continued rain, this wheat will
heat and sprout and it won't be long
about II either The thing that should
be done Is simply to separate the bun
dies. Make small shocks of the large
ones. Take four TO six bundles to each
shock. In this way when the sun
comes out. the air can pass through
the shock and it will dry II left in the
big shocks there can no air pass
through and 1t will cause the wheat to
heat and sprout
1T is surprising how quickly this
condition will arise. Yesterday Wis
tied field with the owner. He did
not realize that there was danger Of
his wheat sprouting. We examiyed the
shocks and found that some Of the
grains had already sprouted. At this
stage OF the game wheat demands
especial attention.
THE whest shocks should have
been capped If the farmers had done
this there would have been practically
no trouble from the rain. They did
not. in the haste of getting the har
vest finished between showers. pay
much attention to caring for the grain
Unless the weather conditions are
favorable in the next few days and
work is done by the farmers in aiding
nature TO dry out the bundles, | fear
thai some damage will result. The

sary to dry the wheat before stacking.
/ The farmers should take advantage of
all the sunshine. between showers
and turn their wheat put II in small

sprouting.'
