fail, as they do to this day in certain
European countries but the small farmer is,
perforce, putting a great deal more manual
labor into the gathering of his grain than IS
the owner of one of the vests 5,OOO-acre
wheat fields, where combination harvesters,
drawn by traction engines 40 or so horses,
perform automatically every function from
cutting the stalks as they stand in the field
to delivering to the waiting wagons the
threshed, cleaned and sacked wheat, all ready
for the market, without the touch of human
hand.
Under the old conditions harvest time on
the farm meant hard work for the women folks
well for the men and this is still the
case just in proportion as the old-time condi-
tons yet prevail. The burden of RESPONSE
bility that fell upon the farmers wife and
daughters was that Of feeding the harvest
hands To be sure the wife had help, for her
neighbors all pitched in and helped even as
their husbands and brothers, on similar CO.
operative basis, were assisting the farmer IN
getting in his grain-a service that would be
repaid in kind as the turn of each came In
the round of harvesting activities that en-
braced the whole countryside. Under this
plan, when harvest time meant a continual
succession of neighborhood gatherings, there
were compensations of the farmers wives in
the opportunities for gossipy gatherings that
went the time-honored sewing circles one bet
ter, whereas the farmer girls might behold
romances grow under their eyes as the lads
fresh from the harvest fields, had most con-
vincing evidence as to the prowess in cookery
of the local bellies.
AS a development of this system, that was
scarcely an improvement from the feminine
standpoint, came the plan of harvesting by
means of hired hands-possibly through the
medium of a Grew" that accompanied
portable steam harvester that made its rounds
from farm to farm. Under this plan, which Is
yet the approved one in most sections, the
farmers wife and daughters lave to get up
three meals day for dozen or score OF
husky harvest hands and yet they are not so
sure of assistance from the other women of
latter had no similar duties at home through
the presence of the men folk at the common
harvesting rendezvous. Worse yet, the young
ladies have scarcely the interest that was mani
fest when the volunteer harvesters to be
served were the eligibles of the neighborhood
instead of, as now, nomadic laborers or, at best,
college boys working for funds to put them
through school,

garner the grain on these baronial estates of

farms in Oklahoma, which may be cited as
