To the white collar boys the above scene may be just one of the early stages of grain-processing but to plain, dirt farmers it is a closeup view of the old fashioned job of threshing oats. Taken on the William H. Kearney farm, six miles east of Ann Arbor near the Pontiac road, it shows a part of the George Zeeb crew of threshers. Reading left to right they are Arthur Zeeb, George Ehnis and William Burke. An oats crop from 19 acres is starting on a long journey which will end in the breakfast bowls of a good many American youngsters.
