GLEANING BECOMES POPULAR
Owing to the shortage of wheat in England, the suggestion was made early in the summer that the old practice of gleaning might profitably be revived, says an article in the Christian Herald. Those who have becomc gleaners this harvest for the first time, have been initiated into customs! which are not generally known. Gleaning may not' commence in a field until it is cleared, which means that the last stook has been carried away. Farmers who wish to give the privilege of gleaning on their land to specified people often leave one stook standing as an indication that public gleaning is net permitted. Small poultry keepers are finding that a few hours spent in the barvest field produces a stock of grain which is invaluable for eking out their restricted allowance of food.
