1. ““* * * By this method the grain is not bound and shocked before threshing, but is cut with a swathing machine, which leaves it in windrows upon the stubble. When dry enough to thresh the combine is put to use. The machine picks up the swathed grain from the windrows and threshes it. The obvious purpose, whichever method is used, is the threshing of the grain.””
