WICHITA, Kan. Nov 1.-The
CLEANERS" in Kansas wheat fields this
year saved 100000 bushels of grain
which otherwise would have been
wasted, according to the Kansas food
administrators report. This showing
placed Kansas ahead of all other
states in this particular, Captain Ken

ing division of the federal food admin
istration, informed the Kansas food
administrator, Walter Innes.
According to Captain Hequembourg,
thirteen wheat states reported that
16,275,625 bushels of wheat was saved
through cleaning" the fields after the
harvest. This was effected through
raking the shock rows, cutting the
back-swaths, by the Use of tight bun.
die racks and wagon beds. In Kansas
the gleanings averaged from one to
one and one-half bushels to the acres
harvested.

Almost as noisy as the machine
guns, were the machines for baling
hay which stretched in long batteries
like threshing machines, devouring the
stacks of loose hay and turning it out
in compact bundles for the artillery
and cavalry horses.
Farther on the balloon sheds were
turning out the big gas bags for use
on observation along the front. These
are assembled and packed, and some
of the parts are made here. Like ev-
