POOR Tl!!!n.cSS HING Costs
MILLIONS OF BUSHELS

Washington Especially new ac-
tivity of the Food Administration,
that of planning to save wheat and
other small grains at their source by
cleaner thre5hing. is announced to
have been adopted by the Food Ad-
ministration. According to estimates,
the preventable loss of grain amounts
to more than three bushels in
every hundred bushels threshed..
This amounts, it is believed, can be-
saved for human consumption by.
more careful methods and better ne
chanical condition Of threshing out
fits"
The announcement Of the Food Ad-
ministration of new grain-threshing
division is as follows:
s'In cases of conspicuously poor
thrcshing nearly 10 per cent. of the
grain has, in the past, gone into the
straw STACK. Last fall many farmers
In the Central West Refreshed old
wheat stacks, and recovered large
quantities OF marketable grain.
"The special division has already
arranged, under the Grain Corpora
ton, to have county threshing COM
mittees carry the educational and
mechanical activities planned to
every threshing machine owner and
operating crew in the United States.
A typical county threshing committee
will consist Of the county Food Ad-
ministrator, the county agricultural
agent, and a retired thresherman rep
resenting the state of local Council OF
Defense.
Each committee will maintain open
headquarters and devote attention
to threshing operations within the
county, endeavoring, through mechan-
ical assistance and emphasis of meth
DDS of conservation, to secure a high
quality Of work"
Other activities of the grain thresh-
Ing division and its branches include
plans for insuring prompt repair serv-
ice, cooperation with the Department
of Labor and with the Fuel Admins
tration for securing adequate amounts
of labor and engine fuel. The Ma
tional Implement and Vehicle Associa-
ton has already pledged its co-opera-
ton, and with the hearty response
now being received from other
branches of industry and agriculture
large saving of food is expected

stricken with the illness that caused
his death. He was at his home upon
the occasion of the death of his mother,
which occurred about three months ago.
His body arrived in Oakland Saturday

dence of his uncle, Mr.. Thomas J.
Browning, andi on Sunday afternoon
the funeral occurred from the little
Browning chapel located on the Acct,
dent road, the services being conducted
by the Rev. Frank McCamic. The fun
eral was largely attended by sympa-
thetic friends and neighbors of the de-
creased who had gathered to cay a
tribute of respect to the memory of the
one who died in the service of his coun-
try. He is survived by his aged father
and three brothers.
