Threshing Scene

Image

A man is unloading bundles of grain from a horse-drawn wagon to another man (barely visible) who will feed the bundles into an Advance-Rumely threshing machine. There are three men on the right, bagging the grain and directing the straw onto a pile. The thresher is driven by a belt powered by a kerosene-burning tractor on the far left. Another tractor is parked, center, in a fenced-in area. There are shocks of grain standing in the field in the background.
