whelmed us with the history Of farming
in Iowa. We suggested modestly. that we
can recall the days when farming was not
done by machinery, as 1T Is now. but
Bernard Murphy. Of the Vinton Eagie.
"Aoored' US by recalling he did in
S%pringer-that is some years before the
writer was born and so he must beg off.
David Brant. of the Iowa City Repub-

FOR handles. After each dumping II had

work and the men who worked it were
enterprising-and happy in their day and
generation. We can recall the old wooden
1t when we had to reach up instead of
down to the handles, for in those days
there were no laws made to prevent a boy
going to work before he was IA. AS far
rs reapers and mowers are concerned, we
recall the old Buckeye self-dropper, the
which were let down until the stubble
caught the grain and dragged it off, often
in very uneven bundles for binding. h
is not so long ago either, but the develop
ment of the grain reaper after that came
by leaps and bounds and in rapid success
son came the self rage, the Marsh har-
vester on which the men who bound the
grain rode and then suddenly the self
binder.
1t is an interesting history, this of the
of fascination for boys who were born
and bred on the farms of Iowa. We are
glad the others have enlarged the vision
of the progress which has been made.
Compared with Brothers Murphy and
Brant, we realize we are still in the in
