It looks as If wheat will bo $2.00 a bushel or moro. At such a price, gleaning ought to bo profitable. This Is a Job tho boys and girls can do and mako good wages, at the same time render a great service to their country. Many fllds of grain aro badly Lodged. Clean harvesting with machinery ma-chinery Is Impossible. In order that this valuable crop bo saved, the hand method or gathering will havo to be resorted to as our parents did years ngo. Remember tho boys and girls who can gather enough heads of wheat to make a bushel In one day is making a good wage and possibly bo tho means of saving a human llfo In tho war stricken district of Europe. Let us think this matter over and co-operato In tho greatest possible conservation of food materials. County Agricultural Agent. ! |
