Tines on the hayforks are made of sharpened sticks, fastened to a bar by rope or wire. Har vesting of grain is an interesting operation. First, it's cut by hand with a razor sharp scythe. The wheat is gathered into sheaves which is taken to a central place spread out and winnowed by means of a drag like affair, ridden by a man and pulled by a horse who goes round and round. The bottom of the drag is studded with sharp granite chips which cuts the stalks and grinds everything into a powder. All is gathered and run thru a hand sieve. The wheat remains on top and the chaff falls thru. They've been doing it this way for thousands of years and show no inclination to change. Turkey is a land steeped ip history. St. Paul was a Turk, born in Tarsus on the southern coast. He was a Turk who fought with the Roman legions before he took on his preaching mission. This is the land which was ruled for a thousand years and tnore by the Sultans who were Gods, in their own eyes and in the eyes of their people. This is the nation which once owned all the land surrounding the Mediterranean, making it a Turkish lake. The Sultans ruled 350,000,000 people. Their word, their slightest whim was law. The word •potentate* comes from a description of the opulence in which they lived and the power they exercised. All this, glory is now gone — it was lost during the 1800*s —the nation is consolidating itself into a self-contained unit. (Next week. The Wolves of Turkey.)
