This has been a great year for
barley It stands head high in some
field (and falls down in others). The
wheat is looking very good as well.
So let's he proud of our harvest
and bring some to fair this year.
Save a sheaf for the "commercial
crops" entry at fair
The preparation of a wheat sheaf
starts with collecting wheat stalks
just before the kernels harden They
should he cut with scissors or a small
hand scythe at ground level Store
and transport them while they arc
quite loose Don't pack them tight
ly until they have dried well.
Peel the leaves off before assembl
ing To make mounting sym
metrical. place each individual head
alternately from right to left of the
center head Keep the back side flat
so that the sheaf can be mounted on
a flat wall As the sheaf gets bigger
always place the subsequent heads
slightly below the previous ones
Don't crush the stems tightly near
the heads le t that area remain quite
loose.
Continue to build until the sheaf
has reached the proper size Usual
ly 30 or more heads are needed
(The Oregon State Fair requires
sheaves to he at least 3 inches in
diameter at the butt end). Tightly
hind the stems about six or eight in
ches below the lowest heads Use
shipping tape or siring (The Oregon
Stale Fair requires that sheaves he
tied with string) Make one of two
more similar bindings then cut the
straws off evenly two or three inches
helow the lower binding If the beads
have been properly dried you can
make this cut with a sharp butcher
knife or razor blade, otherwise you
can use scissors, cutting only twit or
three at a time
