COMBINE HARVESTING
UNDER INVESTIGATION

Staff men of the Minnesota Expert
ment station are cooperating with r.
H. Black and e. G. Boerner, grain
marketing specialists of the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics, in study,
and investigation of methods that will
serve to keep down the moisture con-
tent of grain cut and threshed by COM
bine harvesters.
From investigational work carried
on last year in North Dakota, the
grain marketing specialists found that
combines reduce the expense of har-
vesting and threshing However, this
gain may be more than lost if care
is not taken to handle the threshed
grain properly. Great damage may
result by
Harvesting before the wheat is
ripe,
Cutting wheat that contains ex-
cess moisture.
Cutting wheat that contains green
weeds,
Storing damp weeds in bins, and
Storing wheat that contains green
weed seeds.
The Investigators found that har-
vesting with a combine should be de-
layed until the wheat is mature and
dry. Wheat absorbs moisture at night
and is seldom dry enough to- harvest
before II a. m. or noon. Harvesting
should, of course, be delayed after a
rain until the grain is dry. Wheat
that contains more than Il per cent
moisture is not considered as dry.
They also found that immature,
damp, or weedy wheat cannot be stored
with safety. Weed seeds in even fair
ly dry threshed wheat may cause
spoilage In storage. Clean grain
which contains only a slight excess
of moisture can be kept from losing
condition in storage by the use Of
properly constructed ventilators open
to the outside air and placed close
together in a bin, but spoilage may
ensue if the grain is immature or
damp or if it contains green weed
seeds.
Wheat which contains more than IA
per cent moisture should be watched
carefully while in storage. Rely on
ventilated bins only for wheat that
is ripe, fairly dry, clean, and sound.
If only one of these essentials is lack
ing, the wheat may spoil even in vent
Hated bins.
Several phases of the problem are
being studied by a committee, headed
by A. J. Schwantes, appointed from
/ the Minnesota Experiment Station
staff.

MINTURKI DELIGHTS
GROWERS IN ILLINOIS

Six years ago Clarence Brewbaker,
farmer of Macomb township, McDon-
ough county, Illinois, procured a BUSH
ell of Minturki winter wheat from the
Minnesota experiment station and be-
gan to increase it on his own farm.
This year 500 acres, all sown with
seed increased from the original BUSH
ell, have produced excellent yields, al
though other varieties suffered heavi-
ly from winter killing.
The editor of local country paper
gives half column of his space to
describing the wheat and its perform
ance and the following is taken from
his article: "Minturki wheat is a
cross of Odessa and Turkey Red and
was developed by the plant breeding
department Of the University of Min
nesota. During the six years it has
been grown in McDonough county it
has shown ability to come through
severe winters. Results this year are
outstanding. Many fields of other
wheat were wholly destroyed last win
ter and many that survived have very
thin stands, but the fields of Minturki
invariably have good stands and will
make good yields. M. A. Helm Of the
agronomy department of the Univers-
ity of Illinois inspected wheat fields
in the county recently and was much
impressed with the fine fields Of Min
turki."
Some of the Illinois farmers have
40 to so acres of this wheat, and all
of it, the editor says, is uniform in
height and general appearance and
is clean and healthy. The best fields
were sown about October, of last
year. One farmer who sowed 40 acres
after November will harvest, in spite
of the late seeding, fully 20 bushels
to the acre.

YOUNGSTERS PRODUCE
SHORT-LIVED PLAY

The American author, William
Dean Howell, who died in 1920, pos
sessed a rare sense of humor, in ad-
dition to his other literary abilities
For many years he was connected
with the editorial force of such lead
ing magazines as Atlantic" and
"Harpers." But among all the stor-
les he wrote himself or was able to
secure for publication, he always
liked to dwell on the following true
anecdote:
His boy and girl, not yet in their
teens, announced one day they had
written a play The parents were ask
ed to invite their friends to witness
it's performance.
The friends came-scores of them
all amusedly interested to see what
| these clever children of a most dis
tinguished authorization would evolve.
The stable barn was filled with
ladies and gentlemen, when the blan-
ket curtains were drawn aside to dis
close girl and boy as just-married
bride and groom, right from the
| church, in their new home. After
some explanatory conversation, the
youthful bridegroom announces that,
in order to SUPPORT his new and dear
ly beloved wife in appropriate style
he must go west to seek his fortune.
The lady applauds this resolution;
there is mutual felicitation and en-
couragement; the bridegroom stalks
off. Curtain.
After loud applause from the
guests, and commercially short
time of waiting, came Act IL.
The bride is sitting at home as be-
fore. She explains that it has been
seven years since her husband left to
| find fortune in the unknown West.
She longs to see him again. Instantly
this wish is granted; in he walks,
proud success written all over him.
Without losing any time in love-mak-
ing, he begins a long narration of his
adventures and tells how, after over
coming all sorts of obstacles and per-
lis, he has gained his gold and hur-
ried back to the waiting one.
The bride hears him out. Then
graciously approving, she mods her
head.
"You have done WE'LL" says she. Il,
too, have not been idle"
And with that she eXits-to reap
pear Immediately at the head of seven
children, carefully graduated as to
size! To add to the effect, the ext
gencies of the situation had forced
the producers to pick their four-year-
old from the brood of neighbours
negro coachman!
This drama, Mr.. Howell used to
say, had only one performance but he
had never produced one of his own,
or even seen one, which aroused such
enthusiasm in the audience. Golden

tilted back In his flimsy chair, and
Looked his opponent carefully over.
Selwood, calm under the inspection,
only toyed, thoughtfully-while Gen.
eral Roper smoked-with the cards on
the table before him. When Roper
was ready to resume he, himself, drew
a sealed pack Of new cards from his
pocket. Lets have fresh deck,
young man." he said indifferently-
or with an air Of indifference-as he
produced them. 1T seems as If can't
remember your name"
ut ought not to be hard for you to
remember" was all that Selwood re-
torted. But the remark was unnoticed,
as Selwood meant 1t to be. When
Roper brought out his own cards, Sell
wood without comment took the cards
they had been playing with all night,
threw them in a corner, and opened
Ropers pack. The play went on.
Within an hour Selwood had his
game where he thought he could man.
age 1t. When Roper played for safety,
Selwood was patient; when the gen.
eral dashed at him headlong, Selwood
stopped the charge and exacted- his
pound Of flesh. By ten o'clock that
morning Roper realized he had found
q man his superior in nerve and his
equal In strategy, and his anger was
the anger Of that master Of fence who
realizes that his skill has been
matched and his rapier outpointed.
But the general lacked the caution
to profit by his discernment. Egged
on by that arch enemy Of US all, van
ity, he pressed his enemy.
Selwood recognized the symptoms
as the beginning Of the end. Ropers
recklessness was stimulated designed
ly by minor successes, and his hopes
were repeatedly dashed by staggering
losses. He was gently decoyed into
holiness and brutally punished for his
temerity. His discontinue was studied
and his feelings trodden underfoot. In
no other possible way could his pride
have been 80 Inundated and his pre-
tentfous autocracy abashed. He rose
from the table at noon-although
Selwood offered to play longer If he
wished - exhausted physically, his
eyes on fire, his voice shrunken to
rasping treble, beaten man. It was
not the money lost-though he had
been completely cleaned out-but he
had been mastered at his own game
and he knew it.

and reminded McAlpin that Went

barn and that both distinguished visi-
tors would be looking for a pony race
or game of poker.
