Get Ready for Threshinn

Repairs on the threshing machine
that are likely to be needed during
the season should be ordered early
and kept on and to avoid serious de-
lays later.
Be sure that you have sufficient
power, with proper pulleys and belt
ing to keep the cylinder running un-
ifor1nly at the right speed.
See that all belts on the machine
are tight enough so that each part is
working at its relative speed.
Keep cylinder and concayes adjusted
so that all the grain is knocked out.
Keep the crank running at the
proper speed, so the grain is sep
arated from the straw.
See that the bundles are fed heads
first and evenly,
Don't overfeed.
Avoid threshing when grain is
damp.
Stop the leaks. A canvas spread
under the machine will prevent waste.
Carefully clean up all grain that
leaks or is otherwise scattered about
the machine.

Our Government Says:

In spite Of the large production in
many directions during 1917. the sit
uation is not satisfactory. The avail
able supply Of wheat Is inadequate.
Owing to short crops in preceding
years, the reserves Of a number Of
important commodities have been
greatly reduced.
Whether the war continues or not,
the demands on this country, because
of the increasing population and the
needs of Europe viii be great. They
will continue to be great for con-
siderable period even after peace re-
turns.
An especially strong demand win
be made on this country for meats

Keep Down the Wheat Loss

An increased supply as war meas
ure is imperative.
Tennesseans have increased their
acreages. The yield is above the av-
rage Of recent years. 1t must be
saved.
Thte farmer must be careful in
every detail of harvesting. The thresh-
|er man, especially, must be thor
ough in his work.
Investigation indicates that there
lis a big waste Of grain in threshing
Operations. A large percentage Of the
loss can be avoided by putting the
threshing machrines in good repair
and by properly adjusting them to
meet varying conditions.
Large quantities of grain were
saved in the central west last fall
by refreshing old straw stacks. You
are urged by the United States gov
eminent to make every effort to re-
duce waste of grain during the COM
ing threshing season.

part that with equal application and
they can overcome the

Keeping Dried Beans
Beans used as food may be freed
from tendency to spoil by dipping
them into boiling water and spreading
them out to dry
Seed beans are freed by adding
an ounce Of carbon bisulphide to a
barrel of beans. The barrel must be
kept covered. Carbon bisulphide
comes in liquid form and should be
put in a saucer and placed in the top
Of the barrel. AS the liquid evap-
crates the gas descends through the
beans. This is not in the least harm
full to the beans. After the beans
have been freed from organisms they
should be stored in air-tight contain
ers. A tin or wood box covered
with close-fitting lid and the seams
covered with paper pasted to the box
is a good container.
