RACE AGAINST ELEMENTS: Storm clouds were rolling up as the threshing picture was taken on the E. A. Hunter farm in Ann Arbor township, and although the threatened rain did not fall, other parts of Michigan and the nation were not so fortunate as Washtenaw county. Heavy rains caused many delays and some damage to grain crops during the mid-summer harvest period just coming to a close.

SOIL AND WATER SAVING PROJECT UNDERTAKEN IN COUNTY: Something unusual for this part of the state is going on these days on the farm of Dr. C. E. Vreeland, southeast of Dixboro in Superior township. Drainage-type terraces are being cut into hilly pasture land to keep the water from running off and into the pond shown at the right in the above picture. The project has been supervised by the agricultural engineering department of Michigan State College. The terraces, which will take the form of shallow drainage ditches, will be seeded over.

STOCKBRIDGE FARM PRODUCES ONIONS BY CARLOAD: You could smother enough hamburg steaks for an army with the onions raised in one year on the C. F. Krummrey farm near Stockbridge. Two of the approximately 150 persons--most of them from Kentucky--given employment on the farm each year are shown "topping" the onions in the upper left picture. They are, left to right, Joan Richardson of Pontiac and Helen Fletcher of Stockbridge. Lower left is Calloway Minix of Jackson, Ky., who has been working in onion fields in this area for more than 10 years. Some of the thousands of crates filled with onions in the fields are shown at the upper right, and bottom right is a view of the culling operations, in which inferior onions are extracted before the product is bagged for shipment.
