Scytbes and Bundle Forks
Are Still Major Tools in
Belgian Harvest
BY ERL GROSS
IFYE Delegate to- Belgium

FIND THAT the Belgian harvest
is a little different from our Mon
tana harvest. Because of the much
more humid climate, very little of
the grain is combined in the field.
Most of it is cut, bound and left
shocked in the field to dry.
AS you travel through the country
side, you see both scythes and bind
ers at work. On the larger farms,
the fields are usually Opened" by
hand with scythes, then finished
with a binder. On the small farms,
machinery is not practical as it is
too expensive and the fields too
small. These little fields, many not
larger than half acre, are cut en-
tirely by hand. I think you will
agree with me that a big machine
just doesn't fit into this picture, par
ticularly since farm labor is reIa-
lively cheap ($2-$3 per day..
It's been interesting to learn to
use scythe and to tie a bundle
with few straws. When the har-
vest was over (about August s., I
could almost keep up with my
brothers. Another interesting thing
is the number of countries from
which the machines come. I've seen
binders and tractors, too, from
France, Germany, England, U.S.S.R.,
us. and, of course, Belgium. On
this farm, we have Unic Russian
made binder and Normack tractor
from Germany.
Grain Sacked
If the crop is combined, the grain
is sacked right on the machine and
hauled to the barn for storing. I
have visited only one farm where
the grain was put into bins. On all
the other farms, the grain is left
in the burlap bags. These bags are
made to hold 220 pounds or 100 kilo-
grams. I'll vouch for them being
heavy.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-11-01

ner of the barn. It was small
stack, only about 20 feet square.
When it became too difficult to
pitch the bundles onto the stack
from the wagon, we built another
stack. No, the first wasn't finished
We built it higher, too, but used the
second, third and sometimes the
fourth stacks as steps up to the first.
With one of us on each stack, we
relayed the bundles all the way
up to the last where one of us
stacked them right up to the peak
of the gable. The barn is about
40 feet high, I would judge, but
some are even higher.
Last week I visited a very large
farm that was the property of
lord at the time when the farm was
built, back in 1913. The lord owned
great amount of land and he
rented it to the peasants. With this
feudal system, the lord received
barley and wheat in payment of
the rent. Each peasant would haul
the unthreshed grain to the farm and
stack it in the barn. The farmer
now operating the farm told me that
the barn would hold the entire crop

from $50 acres. 1t must have been
at least 90 by 125 and so feet high.
Stacks Rooted or Thatched
Not all the farms have space
enough in their barns for the entire
crop, so you will see stacks sitting
on the edge of the field or behind
the barn The stacks are most often
round, though some are rectangular.
All are covered to shed the rain.
Some of the farmers have built roofs
on poles and then built the grain
stacks under them. Usually the roof
slides up or down on the poles just
to fit the stack. The stacks that are
not under a roof are matched with
straw.
The barn on the farm where I am
now living was really full when
all the grain was in, so the first
rainy day we threshed enough to
clear the driveway We had filled
that, too. The threshing machine,
unlike the ones I'd seen before, was
driven with an electric motor. It
did not have a feeder nor a straw
blower, SO we hand fed it and car
ried the straw away. 1t did beau
tiful job of threshing, and I could
not find any chaff in the sacks of
oats either.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-11-01

If the crop is bound, it is hauled
into the barn and stored in the
bundle for threshing during the
winter. For hauling the grain, the
farmers use both wagons and one
horse carts. Most of the wagons and
some of the carts are on rubber
tires. This is not for comfort but
to keep the loaded wagons and carts
from sinking into the soft fields as
the iron wheels allow them to do.
When I first arrived in Belgium, I
couldn't visualize the purpose of
the great big barns. Usually part
of them had machinery in them, but
why build them SO high? I found
out. These barns are to store the
years crop.
First we started stack in one cor

cent. In the two years spring wheat
protein averaged 149 and 14.6 per
cent, while winter wheat average
1874 and 1872 per cent. And in both
years only about one-fourteenth of
the total crop contained less than
IL per cent protein.
And what makes high protein
wheat so desirable that it commands
premium price?
Well some say that it goes back
to the time when commercial baker,
les first began to compete with
grandma and her home-making sis
tiers in producing the family bread
supply. Grandmother, we're proud
to recall, spent hours mixing, knead-
ing and baking her priced product
and rarely had failure. But COM
mercial bakeries weren't so FORUM
ate when they first took over the
job. They went through a period
when one batch of bread would be
good and the next one bad. 1t was
some time before they traced the
season for the variation to the pro-
tein content of the flour used.
More Gluten. More Bubbles
They finally found that wheat
flour, when mixed with the right
proportion of water, forms a SUBJ
stance called gluten. And rubbery.

Montana's High Protein Wheat
Is Paying Off Again In 1858

MONTANA'S HIGH protein wheat
is paying off again in 1858.
George Moran, chief grain in
spector, Montana Grain Laboratory,
Great Falls, reports that Montana's
all-time record wheat crop of more
than ia million bushels is again
of top quality in weight and pro-
TEN. Spring wheat this year has
averaged 14.6 per cent protein and
winter wheat, 12.5 per cent.
This means that, at current pre-
miums, Montana's spring wheat is
worth an average of q cents bu-
shell more. than ordinary wheats,
and winter wheat is worth an aver
age of 10 cents a bushe1 more.
Since some wheat tests as high as
II per cent protein, the premium
can be as high as 43 cents a bushel.
What makes Montana wheat high
in protein and what makes high
protein wheat so desirable that
premium prices are paid for it?
Just what factors cause variations
IN protein content of wheat are not
yet fully understood, but soil and
weather conditions are probably
among the main factors. Nitrogen
is one of the chief chemical con-
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-11-01

When the wheat crop natures with
warm, dry weather, protein is
usually high. This makes Mon
tana's normally warm, dry ripening
months of July and August close
to perfect and year after year, Mon
tana wheat men are able to harvest
high protein crops. In 1851, for
example, protein of all wheats
harvested in the state averaged 1913
per cent. In 1852 it was AL per

stitutents of protein. Hence, the
fact that Montana soils are rich in
available nitrates is one of the main
reasons why they produce superior
wheat.
And weather is important, too.

Report 1horez Suffered
New Stroke Discounted
By the Associated Pres,

NICE, France, Nov. 21.-Re-
ports that French Communist
Boss Maurice Thorez has suf-
fered another paralytic stroke
were discounted today.
Rumors that Thorez was i'll
began when high ranking Red
failed to show up for a meeting
in Cannes last night. But instead
of being at Thorez' bedside, as
reports said, it turned out that
ne had gone to see his ailing
mother.
Still another report was that
Thorez had not been seen at his
villa for several days. But a local
policeman said he saw Thorez
walking on the balcony.
Communist Party officials de-
clined to make any comment on
their leader who suffered a
stroke in 1850 and later went to
Moscow for treatment. He re-
manned 20 months and came
back to France last April, walk
ing with great difficulty and with
the use of one arm lost.
In Paris, the French Communist
Party newspaper flatly denied
that ThoreZ was i'll.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21-A frail,

Anthony Palazzola, 26, tired

Palazzola was brought back by

A bill to give Washington resi-
dents voting power in National
elections and one to eliminate
temporary Federal buildings here
were defeated in a brief session
in the Old Senate Chamoer on
Capitol Hill yesterday.
Debate in the historic cham
ber clearly indicated the law
makers" were not in spending
mood. Nor were they prepared
to give away this country's veto
power in the United Nations Sc
curity Council just TO spite
Russia.
The lawmakers" were stu
dents from IL Catholic High
Schools in the. Archdiocese Of
Washington.
They were participating in the
fourth Semi-annual Mocel Sen
ate sponsored by the Catholic
Cooperative Advisory Council.
The one-day stint as senators in
the legislative atmosphere of the
Capitol Building climaxed weeks
of study and preparation by the
students, most of whom came
prepared with facts and figures.
Nine Bills Considered.
A total of nine bills were sub
mitted by Senate committees.
Six were acted on by the body,
two were referred back to COM
mittee, and one, calling for an
international ban on the use and
production of atomic weapons,
was ruled out of its jurisdiction.
The decision to keep Washing
ton voteless followed a one-man
attack on the limited nature of
the bill proposed. Senator"
James Cawood, IT, a Priory High
School student. and sports de-
partment contributor of The
Star led the opposition to the
measure.
This bill provides no home
rule for the District. It would
be like putting the cart before the
horse to adopt this bill before
giving the District home rule"
he argued.
The bill was defeated 24-22.
Resolution to President.
The U, N. veto power discus
sion came up in the form of a

would have urged him to instruct

seek elimination of the veto.
