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.

VETERAN THRESHER MISSES FIRST HARVEST IN 58 YEARS: George Zeeb, Northfield township farmer, is shown covering threshing equipment on his farm on Earhart Rd., after poor health caused him to miss the first grain harvest in 58 years. Known throughout the northeast section of Washtenaw county as a custom thresher, Mr. Zeeb's activity in the harvest fields dates back to 1880. He still has a clover huller used more than half a century ago, and it's in operating condition.
