There Is Always More or Less Shatter'

prepared by the United States Depart<

BY substituting wagons having tight
bottoms, or boxes, for the hay rack or
open kinds which are commonly used,
many thousand bushels Of wheat may
be saved during each harvest season
at very slight expense and no great
trouble.
Every farmer knows that in haul
ing the bundles of grain from the piles
or shocks to the stack or separator
there is always more or less shattering
of grain which finds its way to the
bottom Of the wagon and is lost
through an open bed. If these farmers

from each wagon in this manner, there
would be few of the common hay-rack
wagons in use.
The department Of agriculture is
urging that this year only wagons with
tight bottoms having low sides, which
will prevent the grain from falling
over the edges, be used They cost
comparatively little and require only
a few hours to construct. At present
prices the amount of grain that this
type of wagon box would save would
easily pay for it's cost.
While it cannot be expected that PA
bushels day can be saved in all
cases, this amount of loss is not at all
unusual. Whatever the loss may be,
it is easily prevented. In case the
farmer does not care to spend the time
or money involved in constructing a
tight wagon box, he can accomplish
practically the same result by covering
the bottom of. the hay-rack with blank.
cts or tarpaulin, which will catch the
grain, and from which the grain car
be removed each evening.
