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 Iucatan to reduce their plant
ing, with the result that real short
age of the fiber five or six years hence
is a very likely possibility.
The labor outlook is not so cheer
full. The supply of hired farm labor
IS about - per cent of the normal.
Although no appropriation was made
by congress this year for carrying on
the department of agriculture's war
time ac1vities in aiding the farmers
to get laborers, the department is do
ing what it 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 ap-s
peal of Secretary of Agriculture Mere
dith to city men, college students, and
Others to spend their vacations work
ing on farms, particularly as helpers
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
GUS "shock troops"-volunteer helpers
from the city who shocked wheat
that gave such good account of them

Labor and binder Irvine.
On the eve of the harvesting sea
son the wheat-growers' thoughts turn
to these two necessary items, particu-
larly the former, which caused him
much worry during the years of the
war. OF course, labor is the chief
problem, but binder Irvine is some
thing that must be reckoned with as
well, and in its own way Is very
important feature In the harvesting
operations.
The wheat-grower need have no ap-
prehension as to the supply of binder
Irvine this season. Reports coming to
the bureau of plant industry indicate
that there will be a plentiful supply
of this commodity available for the
American farmer. Not only will it
be plentiful, but 1t is likely to be
cheaper this year than for some years
past.

source of henequen, from which the
Irvine is made-produced large crop

When the sheep come scuttling and

the cOwbells are near at hand, their
incessant clamor subdued by enfold-

calling the cows home, but when these

in the long gold twilight, then the cat

ECONOMICAL METHOD
IN THRASHING, WHEAT
Task Should Be Performed d.
rectIy From Shock.
Grain That Is Handled When Damp
Will Sweat Too Much and Be-

nifty Plan Most Desirable.

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method is to
thrash directly from the shock. Thrash
when the grain is dry. either before or
after it has gone through the sweat.
If the grain is too dry. 1t will crack in
thrashing.
Wheat thrashed before sweating in
the shock will go through the sweat 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 it should be allowed to 20
through the sweat before thrashing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash.

ically where a group Of farmers can
own and operate thrashing outfit to-

See that the separator Is we'll
cleaned before the thrashing Is started.
In order to prevent the mixture Of
grain and the scattering Of weed seed
from the neighboring farms.
Watch carefully the working of the
machine to see that the grain Is en-
tirely removed from the straw and that
the chaf is blown out.
Stack the straw. use 1t as feed or
bedding for live stock. and so con-
