TIHNKS ENGLISH THRESHING
SYSTEM • DESPERATELY SLOW'
a '- et-ter-W-1m,
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Smith,
gives ;the following description of
threshing operations "Somewhere in
England,:• '
'Did I tell you that one day. some.
time ago while I still had time off,
I walked . over to watch an English,.
threshing, .They are all' right for
England' but would never do in Can-
ada. They take far more men and
are desperately slow. I was afraid
it would be a matter -of weeks to
thresh out a Canadian neighborhood
with this system. It : is the old type
whichwe might have used ,half a
century ago. To begin with there is
neither an atitomatic feed nor a
band cutter so that takes two extra.
men. Then there is no blower, the
straw, 'uncut, is tied into sheaves
with a glorified sheaf tier- similaa
•to' that on one of our binders; only
larger in capacity: That takes an-
other man and then they stack the
sheaves of straw and that .takes
three more. The grain is not cleaned
as thoroughly and since the .method
of threshing is so •slow 'the grain is
half mildewed before a machine ar-
rives t� look after it. The engine is
much like ours but has two central,
p'is'tons instead of -our ' single enc.
piston and runs much more 'slowly
The farm wife does not feed the
rnen. They, take. their own lunches
but at tea, tune' (about 4 p.m.)* she
takes dut tea and sandwiches and
cakes and they', have a snack but. all
main meals are cut out except foi.
what each map brings for himself.
They don't start until nine and stof
at five. Of ^course f this is all quite
normat. for • the Englishman's sense
of leistire is well developed A farm
taboret, is not to work more than
4 tar, 5 1ioiwrs a day without receiving
,ovelttie e. and his normal wages ar'
well in' excess.*ff, What •a Canadian•:
could pay and then 'overtime on tot
of that and every . Sunday and Sat
urday ibiternoon tiff. •All in all it
is rather ridiculous when compared
with the. Canadian system II and not
to be .wondered at that they • have
to import most of their food. Too
bad they • wouldn't ' import some
sound farming practice as well.
I can understand ndw why so
many ' English lads make a failure -
when' pilaeed on Canadian farms
without the proper spirit or training
for it.. As a rule the fields are too
small for tractors, yet they try to
use them and waste more title and
fuel, .I think' the root of the trouble
is that 'the farmer' tries to live as
a town gentleman instead ofas a
farmer and much of the life still
shows unmistakable` signs of a de-
cayed feudal systeln, except that
now the chap who used to bethe
serf is better off than the master
All this is quite typical of many ^of
the half prin4ive ideas and -ways
of living they still cling to: in all
butt the city districts,
