And when they reach slippery spot, their tactics

It's about this way with travel along lifes slippery

Farmers and ThreShermen Meet

A we'll attended meeting composed
of the farmers and threshermen OF
Shenandoah County was held in the
Court House on Monday, June 10th
for the purpose of considering the
best methods of handling the coming
wheat crop. Fully realizing the
necessity for saving every grain OF
wheat possible this year the Govern
ment is urging the threshermen to
put their machines in first class or
der this season so that the waste may
be reduced to the minimum. This
being the case the threshermen will
have to be paid better price for
threshing than they have received in
the past. AT this meeting it was de-
cided to set a uniform price for
threshing for the entire county and
two committees we're appointed, one
committee was composed of one
farmer from each district and tie
other one threshermen from each dis
trict. These committees we're re-
quested to meet jointly, and agree
upon fair price for threshing After
a thorough discussion the joint CON-
mittee fixed the price at 6 cents per
bushel for wheat and rye and 5 cents
per bushel for barley and oats and
each threshing outfit will furnish
three men.
