R1CH & ran HARVEST.
South Dickinson Gathering Best
Wheat in Years.

WuU@b ~ Aw@AU'
For the Reflector.
ELMO, KAs., June "a, l906.--We
are In the midst Of . most bountiful
wheat harvest. The crop is one oil
the best that south Dickinson county
has had for 3 number Of years. The
yield will be above the average and
one Of much profit to the farmers
The beautiful golden grain has
ripened we'll. The straw has o per
feet color which is golden yellow
alternated with rich cream giving
it a striAted appearance. The heads
lare large and filled with big plump
grains. The wheat Is standing up
we'll and it is delight to the owner
to harvest it. The weather has been
thus far almost ideal. The occasional
thunder shower followed by the besu-
tiful rainbow reminds one Of Him
who said long ago, while the earth
remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and
cold and heat, and summer and win
ter, and day and night shall not
cease"
The selibinder drawn by three or
four horses and driven bv the father
can be seen In nearly every field.
The boys, and sometimes the girls
gather the precious sheaves and put
them into shocks. Early and late
one can hear the click Of the binder.
" is real pleasure to watch the al
most human machine as 1t cuts the
wheat, binds it into bundles and rolls
them of 0 half dozen on q heap.
Well may the happy farmer sing the
oldtime harvest songs. The faithful
wife who has the table laden with the
products Of the farm and garden, l
must mention for she does her part
uncomplainiDgly and we'll. A boun'
tiful harvest means more comforts
and luxuries in the home and perhaps
Q visit back east for her. The old.
time four O'Clock lunch in the hurry
and rush Of the time, has been almost
wholly neglected. The fields are
not as large here as in some parts Of
the state. They range from forty to
one hundred acres more or less.
Wages are $3.50 to 81 per cay. Good
harvest hands are scarce. The hands
sent here from the east are hired Of
second choice men. One fellow hunt
ing work said he was an eight-houE
man and belonged to the Union, The
farmer replied, 81 work eight hours
too-eight in the forenoon and eight
| in the afternoon. When the grain IL
ripe it must be cut or much Of it vii
be lost. Hence Of necessity TIT
days are long in a Kansas harvest
field. BYRON TALHELM.
