stance, uses canvas sheet In front
of the separator, AMI l watched sew
eral 'cleanups' where from to IL
bushels OF grain was saved Most of
this would have been wasted in the
old. careless way OF threshing. Tight
bottom and rack bundle wagons also
save a lot of grain and make the
work easier. 1t is a mighty good
thing for everyone that we have had
this lesson pounded into u.s."
Mr.. Ferris was on his way home
from his farm in WIlkin county,
where he has been threshing wheat
that goes from 80 to 40 bushels. Al
though the crop on the home farm
was ruined by nail, Mr.. Ferries says
he will get from ten to II bushels of
wheat to the acre. Then he received
$40 an acre hail insurance that is
equal to another five bushels.
