Casson in The Romance of the Reap
err tells the following story of William
n Whiteley. the Charlemague of the
harvest field"
He was as tall as q sapIing and as
strong as tree. AS q professor in the

who were sent against him. He was n
whole exhibition in himself.
I've seen Bill Whiteley racing his
horses through the grain and leaning
over with his long arms to pick the
mice's nests from just in front of the
knife" said an old Ohio settler.
The feat that first made Whiteley fa-
nous was performed at jamestown,
O., in 1867. His competitor was doing
as good work as he was, whereupon he
sprang from his seat, unhitched one
horse and finished his course with n
single surprised steed pulling the heavy
machine.
His competitor followed suit and sue
ceeded fully as we'll.
This enraged Whteley, who at that
time was as powerful as young Her

shouted, turning his second horse loose
and yoking his big shoulders into the
harness.
Such thing had never been done be-
fore and has never been done since.
but 1t is true that in the passion of the
moment Whiteley was filed with such
strength that he ran the reaper from
one side of the field to the other, cut
ting full swath, deed that, had he
done it in ancient Greece. would have
placed him among the immortals.
That ten minutes in Il horse collar
made 100000 for Whiteley. His an
tagonist, Benjamin IL. Warder, was
filed with admiration for Whiteley's
prowess and at once proposed that they
should quit fighting and work in har-
mony
"GiN" ne the right to make your
reaper. and I'll pay you s. apiece for
all c:ia sell" said Warder
ITS Il BARGAIN" responded Whiteley.
And so there arose the first consolida.
