Gathering In The Golden Grain Is Not All :.
Joy And Sunshine to the Harvest Hand
Mobile Gulf Coast Grower)

About this time of the year the
newspapers all over the country begin
to print stories about the phenomenal
crops of wheat, rye, barley and oats
that are to be harvested in the small
grain belt. Wheat is the principal
small grain.
At the same time the cry goes out:
Harvest hands wanted; good wages,
food and lodging. Inquire of So and
So. Such and Such Place." Kansas,
Oklahoma. Nebraska, or any of the
small grain states.
Among the applicants for positions
as harvest hands are teachers, stu
dents. clerks and tramps. To the un-
iniatiated being a harvest hand is a
cinch, but to those who have helped
harvest a crop of wheat 1t is hard
work, with emphasis on HARD.
The small grain belt is rapidly be-
ing pushed further South, and that
probably accounts for the following
letter coming to the Gulf Coast
Grower:
Gulf Coast Grower,
l have been told that there is a
great demand in the wheat fields Of
certain states for harvest laborers,
but have no individual address Of
those who do such employing, so am
hoping this gets to somebody inter-
ested.
There are about ten of us students
who would like this opportunity of
earning part of our next years tuition
expenses, I would like to know If
the employers pay the railroad fare
of their hands, just what kind of
work is required of harvest hands;
length of day; best salary and accom-
modations, how long is the season,
and can we follow up the season by
keeping on going into other sections
and states?

Cordially yours,
BOYD ALLEN.

tAddress furnished on applicat1on.)
l was born In the corn belt of the
North, but lived many years in sew
eral of the notable wheat states, and
like many other young men fell vic
tim to the lure of the harvest fields,
and recollections of the hardships of
breaking in" caused me to laugh at
the sincerity Of Mr.. Aliens request.
know of no better answer to give
Mr.. Allen, and all other aspirants for
a job as harvest hand, than the story
that Mr.. Bert Doze, wrote some time
ago in answer to similar request
for information about the duties, etc.,
of harvest hand. Mr.. Doze's let
ter follows:
ITO the seasoned harvest hand the
ignorance of the tenderfoot is anus
ing and often near painful. Unless
one has had experience in the har-
vest fields it is an impossibility to
appreciate what harvest labor means.
THAT the work is hard will be the
first lesson the novice will learn. The
next is that one must be ready to
work at rapid fire gait and rest the
same way.
"one of the hardest things about
harvesting is to get used to the long
days spent at work and the short
time allotted for sleeping.
MANY who have accepted ap offer
to go to the harvest field at what
seems like extra good wages for mus
Gle work are disappointed at the job
and would throw 1t up were It not for
a spark Of pride that keeps the av-
erage American everlastingly at It.
"A harvest hand is indeed hand
laborer. Farmers do not pay for
brain work. Whatever brain work is
needed they do 1t themselves.
"The first experience of city boy
in harvesting crew is full of pains,
aches and WEAKNESS. A trip into the
country brings him to his field of
operation. He generally is attired in
a straw hat, union suit, overalls, jum-
per, socks, shoes. gloves and a hand
kerchief about his neck.
after getting up the first morning
at peek o. day. harnessing and feed
ing four or five horses then eating
breakfast the green hand manages to
get his eyes opened for the real work
which begins just as soon as the dew
is of the wheat. Then comes the
tug.
Perhaps the green hand is put to
loading barges. If you ever rode
across a rough field in header barge
half filled with wheat you have some
idea of how hard 1t is to keep your
feet. Along about 10:00 o'clock the
green hand generally wishes that he
