all the fiber necessary for the present
needs have already been imported to
the United States.
Although there Is no danger for
this years Irvine supply, officials of
the department of agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the effect
that the low prices for fiber prevailing
now will have upon the production
Of henequen during the next few years.
Low prices, according to reports to
the department, are leading the grow
ers in Yucatan to reduce their plant
ing, with the result that real short
age of the fiber five or six years hence
Is very likely possibility.
The labor outlook is not so cheer
full. The supply of hired farm labor
is about r. per cent of the normal.
Although no appropriation was made
by congress this year for carrying on
the department of agricultures war
time activities in aiding the farmers
to get laborers, the department is do
ing what 1t can to assist farmers with
this problem. The state directors of
extension and the county agents are
aiding In bringing together farmers
and men who want Jobs on farms.
Calls for "Shock Troops"
Results are expected from the u,t

in harvest fields. Frequent inquiries
are being received by the department
from university and college students
as to where their services could best
be used. The need for the now fam

Secretary Meredith is seeking to ac-
complish.

important feature In the harvesting

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method is to

after 1t has gone through the sweat
If the grain is too dry, 1t will crack In
thrashing.
Wheat thrashed before sweating In

the bins, giving the grain a darker
and richer color. Grain that Is thrashed
when damp will sweat too much and
become hot and bin burnt When grain
is stacked 1t should be allowed to go
through the sweat before thrashing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer win get his thrash
ing done more rapidly and econom-
ically where a group of farmers can
own and operate thrashing outfit to-

See that the separator Is well
cleaned before the thrashing is started,
In order to prevent the mixture of
