Much valuable Information for
farmers Is being brought to light
through the filing of threshing re
ports with the Umatilla county
agent, M. S. Shrock, under the
federal requirement for such re
ports. These cover investigations
as to loss of wheat owing to poor
work of threshers, as well as to
quantity of grain and acreage
"threshed. All farmers recognize
the fact that it is impossible to get
a separator that will save all the
grain, but all are keen to make the
highest possible percentage of sav
Ing, says a Pendleton dispatch to
the Oregon Journal.
Of 85 farmers reporting on the
use of two-men pony combines last
year, 20 announce that they intend
to use them again next year. Elev
en will not and three are doubtful.
Twenty-two owners reported that
the combine wasted grain, seven
that it did not, five that it wasted
grain on hills and one that it wast
ed grain on light barley. This cov
ers a total of 10,201 acres cut, with
10 farmers reporting heavy grain,
16 light, two medium and seven
both heavy and light. Those who
consider the combine worked satis
factoriy number 16; those who do
not, 10. Nine gave qualifying an
swers. Twenty-one men thought it
cleaned the grain well; eight did
not, while five considered that it
cleaned the grain fairly well.
