Raleigh.—Information furnish
cd by voluntary reporters to the
Department of Agriculture shows
that there ha< been a sharp
change since 1938 in the methods
of harvesting small grains in
North Carolina, the Federal-State
Crop Reporting Service reported.
In 1938, only 11 percent of the
480,000 acres oi wheat harvested
was cut with combines. In 3945.
information from voluntary crop
eporters shows that of the 408.
000 acres harvested, 69 percent
was combined as standing grain,
while the balance, or 31 percent,
was threshed with stationary
threshers, or cut and fed un
threshed. In 1938. 67 percent of
the acreage was harvested with
binders," while 22 percent was
harvested by all other methods.
The shift in percentage 'of the
oat acreage harvested by com
bines was less sharp than that

lina oat producers combined 12
percent of their acreage, harvest

percent by ail other methods. In
1945. 44 percent of the oat a 'i-eage
was combined as standing grain
and 56 percent threshed with sta

No harvest data was obtained
for barley and rye in 1938. How

ij standing grain, with 53 percent of
the rye crop harvested by the
i same method. #
The remaining portion of the
