A project to mobilize Wisconsin
threshermen to save every possible
kernel of wheat raised on Wisconsin
farms is announced by the U. S. Food
Administration. To do this a special
threshing division has been created as
a part of the Federal Food Adminiistra-
ton with headquarters in the State
Capitol at Madison.
It is freely admitted by the agricul-
turists, threshing machine men, ma
chine operators and others with init
mate knowledge Of threshing opera
lions that there is a big waste in
threshing, variously estimated at from
one to ten per cent.
Waste in threshing depends largely
upon the condition Of the machines as
they enter the harvest fields and the
care with which they are operated.
While it is believed that the majority
of machines in this state operate salts
factOrily, conservative estimates WCuld
indicate that on an average one aud
One-half bushels in every one hundred
threshed can be saved by having all
excellent repair with ample power and
by seeing that during harvesting they
are efficiently adjusted to meet varying
conditions.
One bushel in every 100 threshed
can be saved by having all machines
in such repair that little or no grain
leaks under and around them on the
ground and providing. that what does
leak out in this manner and is other
wise scattered by the machine is
cleaned up and threshed before the
thresher leaves the field.
Three-fourths Of bushel in every
hundred threShed can be saved by
careful handling of bundles from the
shock to the machine or stack and by
arranging the bundle wagons so that
all grain that skaters in them shall
be caught in them and saved. Thus il
is estimated that total of three anC
one-fourth bushels in every hundred
threshed may be saved.
Committees to Control Work.
A special threshing committee vii
be organized in each county composed
of the County Food Administrator
County Agricultural Agent and a re
tired thresherman representing tbs
state or local Counsel of National De
fence. Each of these committees vii
open county headquarters accessible,
at all times to farmers and thresher
men.

THRESHERn1En ARE ASKED TO CO.
OPERATE WITH FOOD ADMITS RATI0N
Special Threshng Committee to Be Organized in
Each Wheat Growing County in the State

These committees will render every
possible assistance to the threshermen
in their county, paying particular at
tention to the problems involving the
repairing Of machines, securing Of
necessary mechanical help in cO-ope-
ration with the Department of Labor,
securing a sufficient supply of fuel in
cooperation with the Fuel Admin
stration, and assistance in obtaining
sufficient needed repair parts and sup
plies to last threshermen thru the com
ing season The committee will also
take into cons< GRAFTON what help, if
any, can be extended threSheFmen and
farmers, so that waste will be reduced
to a minimum during the harvesting
operations.
Threshern1ens assistants.
To cooperate to the utmost with the
threshermcn, the Thresher Division
has assembled a corps of men who
are experts in repairing threshing ma
chimes and engines, and who will be
available in each state to cooperate
with the threshermen requiring expert
help. These men will be known as
threshermen's assistants and will be
subject to the call Of the county thresh-
ing committees when needed.
The "threshermen's assistants" will
not act as Government officers, but
simply as friendly assistants to the
threshermen, their sole duty being to
assist in every way possible to bring
the machinery Of the state up to the
highest point of efficiency and thus to
help save the grain which is SO badly
needed.
Besides this cooperative plan, there
will be additional cooperation by the
manufacturers of threshing machinery,
who have agreed to send out their
service men and to render every posi-
BILE assistance to the owners and ope-
rators Of their machines.
Every machine should be operated
well within its capacity and rush work
/ and wasteful methods must not be per-
mitted, as the value of the grain saved
/ by careful operation, if well within
/ the limits of their capacity, will many
times frequently Offset any saving OF
time which might be effected by an IN.
