THRESHING IS NOW
ORDER OF THE DAY
MANY RIGS ARE IN OPERATION
IN VICINITY OF WOLF POINT
GOOD YIELDS

1t is estimated that there are more
threshing rigs in operation in this
vicinity this fall than ever before in
the history of the country. And
they are all working up to capacity.
TO attempt to enumerate them and
give detailed account of what each
is doing would be an impossible task
as there are score of machines
within an hours drive from this city.
There is quite a variation in the
yield per acre in different sections.
Some have reported as low as 20
bushels and some slightly over 35.
To say that from 25 to 80 bushels
will about strike the average is the
opinion of buyers who are receiving
the wheat
Sufficient Help
The labor situation is not acute.
The policy of cooperation or "ex-
change work" among farmers ap-
pears to be the common practice and
is producing the desired results. En-
tire neighborhoods are being threshed
with but very little hired help. This
system has more advantages than ap-
pear on the surface. With practi-
cally the same men working together
day after day, the organization be-
comes perfected so that maximum
of work is accomplished with mini
mum effort. Then. too, each farmer
is interested in getting the threshing
rig to his own place as soon as pos
sible and this has tendency to in
crease efficiency.
Those who have been forced to
hire help have found their best mark
ct among the local railroad men who
are out on a strike. Practically
every striker who could get away is
now in the country with one of the
many threshing rigs. This condition
has worked advantageously for all
concerned.
Many Trucks
notable feature of the marketing
of grain this fall is the presence of
many trucks hauling the grain from
the machines to the elevators. Two
years ago there were possibly half
dozen trucks engaged in this line
locally. Last year there was no.
ticeable increase and this fall they
are practically numberless. 1t is es-
timated that more than half of the
grain marketed at Wolf Point this
season will be hauled to town by
motor trucks. In contrast to last
year, when motor driven vehicles for
the transportation of grain were i'm
ported from Billings and elsewhere,
local people own and operate the
tucks that are bringing the 1922
bumper crop to market
Fear Car Shortage
Up to date there has been little
trouble in securing sufficient grain
cars for shipping wheat, but it is
feared that unless a settlement of
the railroad strike is made there will
be shortage later on.
In event that it is impossible to
secure cars for the shipping of grain,
the County Farm Bureau advises
the grain in the fields and
delaying threshing until such time as
cars are available. 1t is pointed out
that this would be cheaper and bet
ter than to erect temporary bins and
attempt to store the wheat on the
farms.
