Dodd, Jr extension erman Should Study Manufae pathologist for the United States de- turn's Instructions. (Prepared by the WM States Department of Agriculture.) Every Important grain state has been losing over a million bushels of grain each year because of Inefficient threshing methods, declare Investigators of the United States department of agriculture. The government, by bringing this enormous loss to the attention of farmers and threahermen and showing them how to avoid It, saved 22,000,000 bushels of grain in the 21 states In which the educational work wna carried on Inst rear. When an average of eight bushels of grain Is lost on every farm In the United States nt threshing time every year, thar loss begins to have a personal nienning. With wheat worth $2.20, It Is well worth while to prevent that loss, If possible. And It Is entirely possible. The chief source of loss Is the Inefficient operation of threshing machines. Any standard threshing machine will do satisfactory work If kept In repair end operated intelligently. If the operator knows his machine, and sees that It Is prnMrly adjusted and operated, grain will come through clean and losses will he small. The farmer should know enough nhout the general operation of a threshing machine to detect poor work, which means a direct loss to him. Adjust Separator Carefully. To do good work the separator must he set level, both crosswise and lengthwise, and then carefully adjusted to the particular Job at hand. The greater part of the separation la done In the cylinder and Immediately after the grain passes over it If cracked grains are frequent then may be too much Large pile shows grain wasted while threshing 24 bushels 8 pints In this instance. Small pile shews grain wasted after adjustments had been made to machine less than 1 pint The unnecessary less ef 7 pints occurred every two minutes the separator was In operation. This means that 4J4 per cent of the grain Was lost end play of the cylinder, the speed may be too high, or the concaves may be set too high. The teeth may be crooked or too high and not centered. Too rapid speed will also crack grain. Dry grain demands a lower speed of the cylinder. Unthreshed heads are often found This results from In the tailings. missing or broken teeth, or teeth too far apart, not centered, or badly worn; concave set too low, or concave with not enough teeth. The speed of the cylinder also causes many unthreshed heads. Damp, unripe or moldy grain requires more than normal speed of the cylinder to thresh It out welt Operator Should Know Maehlne. Grain la lost through the improper adjustment of other parts of the separator's well as the cylinder, so It Is evident that the operator must be thoroughly familiar with the entire machine. It may not be possible to save all the grain now lost, but the careless operator who does not know liow to adjust the different parts of h!s machine will waste a great amount unnecessarily. He will surely have to make frequent stops for adjustment Every time a machine stops the whole crew must be Idle until it starts again n loss of time to everybody concerned. Manufacturers furnish Instruction books on the care and operation of their threshing machine. They have spent years in experimenting, and they know how their machines should be run to secure the most satisfactory results. A great deal of the trouble experienced by the thresherman is due to his disregard of or even neglect to read the manufacturers instructions. There are other ways In which grain can be saved, but the proper operation of the separator is the most important Efficient operation of the threshing maehlns should Interest both thresher-M- n and farmers.

To reduce the work of preparing spray mixtures the following stock solutions were made: Five pounds of copper sulphate (blue atone) was dissolved by suspending it in s wooden vessel containing five gallons of water.

Three pounds of resin flab oil soap was diluted In a third vessel by stirring it In hot water until thin and Increasing the volume to five gallons by adding water of ordinary temperature. These stock solutions keep indefinitely if not mixed or weakened by rain, but the lime should be covered to prevent drying out and The level of the liquid when freshly made and after each spray period should be marked on each vessel, and water added when needed to restore loss by evaporation. Ten gallons of spray mixture art prepared by taking one gallon of each freshly stirred stock solution and Ind galcreasing It to three and lons by adding water, and by pouring together and stirring the three diluted solutions thus made.
