Description
A combined harvester (combine) is halted in a un-harvested field of wheat. Three men stand on the combine and a fourth is in the driver's seat perched high over those mules hitched at the rear of a team of thirty eight. A ladder is both the upright support for the seat and the means to climb on and off. A fifth man is next to a surrey buggy to which two horses are hitched. They are on the far left of the header reel that is attached to the side of the combine and is the cutting-gathering portion of the machine.
