Poor Work of Binder, Shattering Dur ing Shocking and Faulty Separator Are Cause. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Under average conditions the loss of grain during harvest is far greater than is generally supposed by the average farmer. Poor work on the part of the binder, shattering during shock ing and hauling, faulty work of the separator, and minor losses at the machine result in a waste of millions of bushels every year. With a guaran teed price every farmer Is offered an incentive to reduce such losses to a minimum this season. See that the binder Is in good working order, handle the bundles carefully, using, a tight floor or canvas on the wagon In hauling, and a demand by the farmer that the separator do efllclent work will save many dollars' worth of grain as well as add to the pocketbook of Reports From States.
