STACKING WHEAT

prepared by the United States Depart

- The acreage covered per day by q
given crew In stacking wheat depends
upon the yield. distance hauled, size
Of loads and methods used.
For example, two men and four
horses with either one or two of the
bundle wagons which are commonly
found in the wheat-growing sections Of
the Northwest, where both men pitch
and no one is required on the load,
will be able to stack more wheat, other
things being equal, than will two men
following the usual practice in the
East of one pitching while the other
man loads. The wagons used in the
two cases are usually very different.
the Western bundle wagon" being es-
pecially built for use In the manner
above mentioned, whereas with the
type Of wagon usually found in the
East it would be impossible to haul q
very large load In this way, because
Of the difficulty Of putting many bum
dies on such wagon in such a way
that they would carry we'll. Although
the loads hauled on the Western bun.
die wagons do not contain quite SO
many bundles as do those In the East
when loaded by hand, they are put on
In less time and with one-half the man
labor, which more than offsets this oh.
lection.
Most Efficient Crew.
This combination is probably the
most efficient crew which can be used
in stacking wheat, provided the haul is
not too long. It is especially recon.
mended for consideration by Eastern
wheat growers, as I'm many cases It
would be an easy matter to place q
temporary rack on other wagons, thus
making them we'll suited for use In the
manner described. The adoption of
this method would materially reduce
the cost of stacking.
Stacking Improves Quality Of Wheat
Where stacking is properly done the
grain is better protected in stacks
than in shocks. In wet seasons or when
thrashing cannot be done soon after
cutting, the importance of this protec-
ton is increased. A sweating process
also takes place in the stack, which
improves to some extent the color, con-
>ditiop and test weight of the grain and
it's milling and baking qualities. The
improvement may be sufficient to OBJ
tain a better Market grade. with result
ing higher price when sold. A similar
sweating process apparently may take
place in shock-thrashed wheat after
being placed in the bin, but to take ad-
vantage Of this the farmer must have
storage room for his thrashed grain
and must also get it thrashed from the
shock while it is in as, good condition
as when placed in the stack.

While the labor required by sheep
