Primitive Harvesting in Ecu ,dor.

The area planted to wheat in Ecua ior
is 40, 600 acres, and small farms, from
one to ten acres each, are the rule. No
machinery is employed to SOW, cultivate,
gather or thresh the grain. A wooden
plow drawn by oxen turns the ground
over, the seed is sown by hand aud
wheat Is cut with knives. The trcadlng
Of horses and mules separates the grain
fIom the straw, and 1T is winnowed by
being dropped through small sieves hell
in the hand, the wind separating tnc
dust and chaff from the grain.
