Stooking By Hand
Unfavorable weather made two
district farmers resort to farm
ing methods half a century old
last week. They shocked 30
acres of wheat by hand.
It was too wet to stook the
grain by machine but it had to
be done because the wheat was'
sprouting. So Hugh Berry and
his son, Alien, went at it by
hand during a drizzling rain.
Mr. Berry said he hadn’t
shocked grain by hand for at
least 50 years.
