Here we are again! Not
that we had forgotten about
you all, but when that
Census job came along last
April for Uncle Sam, we
had to drop everything
except our patients and
preaching. This job while it
lasted, was a Godsend. It
helped us to sail this resi-
dential ship on an even
keel for the rest of this
year, at least! This figure
of speech reminds me of the
generous appreciation that
was shown yours truly by
his Census Crew. At a
Garden Party where they
celebrated the completion of
the Census job, they pre-
sented him with 2 boxes of
cigars individually wrapp-
ed and labled — “To Skipp-
er Thorlaksson from the
Crew of the Good Ship
Census”.
OUR LIST of Shut-ins has had
a recent increase. — Mrs.
Kristiana Hallson, fell and
broke her arm just below the
shoulder. She will be confined
in a cast for the next 2 or 3
months at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. F. C. Plummer of Oak-
land. — Mrs. Bogga Thorvald-
son, seriously injured her shoul-
der and has to have her arm in a
sling. Her granddaughter, Doris
Pridgen of Antioc contracted a
serious type of anemia several
weeks ago and was hospitalized
at the Franklin Hospital, San
Francisco for blood transfusions
but is now convalescing at home
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Pridgen. — Mrs. Sigurjon
Olafsson of Palo Alto keeps on
smiling at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Phil Phillips. — The
Halldorsons are holding their
ovm at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. I. Baldwinson; S.F. —How
about dropping these folks a
card? — As for my Polio cases,
— Phyllis is now at home with
her family staying out of the
Iron Lung at longer intervals.
But Martha is still at the High-
land Hospital. She has beeri
staying out of the Iron Lung for
2 monts and is hoping that shel
may be allowed to be taken home
to her parents before long.
Please remember all these good
people in your prayers.
☆ During August there were
some Wedding Anniversaries
celebrated in the Community, —
Mr. and Mrs. George Brown, 39
years; Dr. and Mrs. F. C.
Plummer, 25 years; Mr. and
Mrs. I. M. Thordarson, two
years. Any others ? Congratula-
tions.
☆ Did you see Laufey Mel-
sted R.N. of Santa Rosa as she
appeared recently in one of
S.F.’s Dailies? She was serving
as a Flight Nurse on the Gov-
erner’s Plane carrying an emer-
gency patient to the Mayo
Clinic.
☆ On September 2nd there
was a Baby Shower at Mrs.
Sigga Benony’s home where a
goodly number of our Ladies
came together to “shower” Mrs.
Jon Love-Karlsson (Laura
Lee). The Karlssons are now
residents of S.F. where Dr. Jon
is continuing his medical
studies at the California
University.
☆ On September 4th, born to
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Grandle of
Long Beach, until very recently

son, — Dennis Scott. Congratu-
lations.
☆ On Sunday August 6th,
Mrs. Johann Hannesson (Han-
sina) was called Home by our1
Heavenly Father after a long
lingering illness. She was laid
to rest at the Sunset Cemetery
of Berkeley. Her memory will
long be cherished in the hearts
of many of us. She was a faith-
ful mother and a good friend.
We all loved her. Our prayers
ascend on behalf of Mr. Hannes-
son and all her loved ones.
☆ Last month Octavius Jr.
together with his family moved
to McArthur, 70 miles east of
Redding on Hiway 299, where
he is Co-ordinator of Music in
three Schools of Northern Cali-
fornia. Best wishes and much

Mrs. G. B. Gudmundson and
daughter of Brea, Cal.; Mr. and
Mrs. Mike Hjalmarson of Sari
Diego, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. K. G.

ellers honorable mention must
be given Thor Blondal for cov-
ering most of the western area
of United States and Canada.—
Mr. and Mrs. Krist Gudnason
flew to Iceland and were back
before we knew it! This was
Mrs. G’s first trip to Iceland and
her first experience in an Air
Flight. — Last week Mr. Phil
Phillips returned from a six
weeks’ jaunt by air to Iceland
where he reports that he was
welcomed and feasted. You re-
call that Helga did it last year.
Not to outclassed by her
parents, Louise R.N. is taking to
the road to do the staid and
classy East in work and play for
an indefinite period of time ex-
pecting to leave her parental
roof early in October. Best of
Luck and Merry Christmas,
Tiny!

SWATHING MALTING BARLEY
Malting barley should be a rich golden color. This color
is an indication that the kernel is mellow and the starch will
convert readily in the malting process. It is partly the result
of the action of the dew on the hull of fully matured barley.
This takes place when the grain is in the stook or swath. The
kernels will be more uniformly colored in the swath than in
the stook, since the heads are more uniformly exposed. Thpre
is, höwever, more danger of over exposure or damage; there-
fore, greater care must be exercised in swathing.
The swath must be laid on the stubble so that the heads
do not come in contact with the ground and become discolored
and otherwise damaged. The first requirement is to cut the
grain at the proper height so that the stubble will hold up
hte swath. This will allow for better drying of the grain and
help prevent the heads from touching the ground. If it is
too short the swath will be too close to the earth. If it is too
long, the stubble will bend and let the swath down. With a
normal crop, six to eight inches would appear to be the right
length. The stiffer and stronger the straw the longer the
stubble can be.
The second requirement is to lay the swath at least some
six inches away from the wheel tracks of the swather or
tractor, otherwise the heads will slip out of the swath onto
the ground and not only cause the heads to become damaged,
but make the grain difficult to “pick up”.
The third requirement is to have the swath laid parallel
with the direction of the swather. This allows the heads to
lie on the straw of the previously cut grain. This is particu-
larly necessary with smooth awned varieties, such as Mont-
calm, where the barbs on the awns do not hold the swath
together.
The fourth requirement is to have a properly built swath.
This should be oval in shape, about four to six inches deep
in the center and tapering to each side. The size will depend
on the width of the swather, the thickness of the stand and
length of straw. If the crop is light, the swather should be
adjusted to make a narrower swath.
The final requirement is to deliver the grain to the
stubble with the least drop possible. In the earlier years of
combining, binders were sometimes used for swathing; the
grain was allowed to drop from the deck to the stubble and
some of it was forced through the stubble to the ground.
Some of the older swathers elevated the grain before it was
delivered to the stubble with much the same effect.
The swaths should be combined as soon as the grain is
dry, otherwise there will be danger of damage from rain or
wind. If in doubt, take a sample of the threshed grain to your
elevator operator and he can test is for moisture content.
Malting barley should not contain more.than 14.8% moisture,
