KANSAS CONFERS DEGREES
ON OlD.TIME "STACKERS'

Topeka.-In this season of degree
comforting, the title of professor or
stacking has been conferred on all
the old time farmers who in their
time-as most of them did-have mas.
tered the art of stacking wheat so
it would withstand the effects of
wind and rain. Secretary J. c.
Mohler of the state board of agricu,
ture confers this degree and at the
same time urges that these veteran
farmers be pressed into service TO
teach the younger generations the
so-called ''lost art" of stacking wheat.
Pointing out the need of finished
stackers because much of the whea,
crop must be held, either in granaries
or stacks on the farm, Mr.. Mohler
said;
ION the other hand, there is
great dearth of able stackers among
the younger generation of farmers.
The older generation numbered many
men who could build stacks that
would stand against the wind ana
thoroughly protect the grain against
the rain, and such stacks had the big
advantage of sweating the wheat
and giving it better color and
quality.
with the younger farmers this ex.
perience is not SO common, and in
the present emergency, the older men
with stacking experience, but who
may be incapacitated for doing the
heavier work Of the harvest, can do
yeoman service to both the wheat
raisers and the country at large, by
acting as professors of stacking
