WINE FOR COMMUNION

Regulations just issued by the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue afford every
religious organization in the United
States opportunity to obtain wine for
sacramental purposes.
Where sacramento wines are pro-
duced and distributed under clerical
supervision, as in certain monasteries
of the Roman Catholic church, the
usual internal revenue tax must be
paid and accurate records kept of all
shipments.
In case of purchases of wine from
dealers not under church organization,
the bureau expressed a preference
that an affidavit of the use to which
the wine was to be put accompany
the order for the protection of both
the seller and the purchaser. Churches
not having hierarchical organizations
will obtain wine on the application
of the minister or duly authorized Of
fcer Of the congregation.

is a separate entity under no superior

LOSS IN HARVESTING

From l to 10 per cent is the esti
mated loss in harvesting, shocking
stacking and threshing wheat. Al
least two-thirds of this can probably
be prevented. Some facts, a knowl
edge of which will reduce the loss in
grain harvesting, are given by Mr.
Bassett:
Ripe straw is much more easily
handled with the binder and will be
in condition to thresh or stack in a
much shorter time.
Marquis wheat is exceedingly hard
to thresh at best. If cut on the green
side it is almost impossible to do a
good job of threshing.
Unless the straw Is needed, cut the
grain as high as possible, being care
full to get enough straw so as to make
a well shaped bundle.
Bundles of moderate size and good
form are more easily shocked,
stacked, and threshed than either
large bundles or very small bundles.
Remember the smaller the bundle the
more Irvine per acre is used, as there
is a certain amount of waste with
every band made.
Do not trample down the n Of
the field. Use are in driving the bind
so as not to make a wider swath
than the machine can cut. Often
times much grain is wasted by care
less operation of the binder.
If parts of the field are lodged it
may be necessary to cut some of the
grain one way. This is advisable
especially when grain is high-priced.
Often a set of pickup guards can be
to the binder that will more
than save their cost every day the
machine is operated. 1t is a good
plan to have a set Of these guards on
hand before the harvest starts as
there is likely to be much lodged
grain this season.
