Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 3, 1962 is remover and the giain swept into .1 basket Dnt is removed by throwing the giain into the air, if there is a wind, or by throwing and c,it<hing it in a laige tray r made of woven bamboo strips The dirt gradually works to the top and is removed Some rice Is threshed by hand They hold a large bun dle above their head and beat the ground About three blows will remove all the giain The straw from this process is not damaged and is used tor mak ing mats and rope. The only floor covering m many village homes is the straw mat Many times it serves as a bed also The straw from the lormer process is used for bedding and todder in the cattle and buffalo shed. The cattle aie used tor power and the watei buffalo lor milk in many places This straw is not a good souue ol nutrients and ncithei is the pasture that they giaze Cattle teed is a pioblem her Cost of constnu tion and equipment make silos impracti cal. Hay would spoil during the monsoon season, the weather being so damp Irri gated pastures would solse the problem but irngalion is ex pensive and the land is needed for human food. Efficient use ot grazing land will be hard to achiete be cause the Hindu religion will not allow the inferior cattle to be discarded. Theie arc T2:30 P.M.
