Threshers are machines that separate the grain from the straw. Before these three machines were invented, a good reaper could harvest an acre a day using a hand sickle. ' . IN 1831, Cyrus H. McCormick invented the first mechanical reaping machine. This has probably contributed more toward increasing the world's food supply than any other mechanical devise. " By 1885. headers, binders and threshers were in common use. AMONG THE people operating train harvesting equipment in northern Davis County over a half a century ago were H.J. (Jim) Hill. Orson Bybee. Dave Green. Hazen Adams ' and Alma Nalder. - Stanford Wiggill of Layton, ' a nephew of Orson Bybee. re- -. members the annual grain harvests. He furnished much of the information for this column. THERE WERE two ways to prepare grain for the threshing machine: ( I ) cut the grain with a header, load it into header boxes (large high covers for wagon frames) and transport it directly to the threshing machine. It usually took three header boxes to keep one header and one threshing machine working. (2) cut the grain and bind it to stay in sheaves in the field until the heads were dry. BINDERS WERE generally ed by smaller farmers and on igated farms while the head-- i were used on large farms d on the dry farms of the hills sand ridge in the vicinity of II AFB. rhe threshing machine was lied by horses into the far-r'- s field. Early machines, : the one owned by Dave ;en, used teams of horses to iply driving power to the larator. The horses were de to walk in a circle to ver the machine. A STEAM threshing Mr. Wiggill recalls 500 to .000 gallons of water were needed to start the boiler. This water was hauled by special wagon from nearby ditches to the threshing site. One man had to stay with the boiler to keep it filled with water. Mr. Wiggill said this was his job and he would trade off with another man who was assigned to "bag the processed grain as it came off the shoot at the end of the separation process. Being assigned to water the boiler was a rest for the person bagging grain. 1 t The nature of Home farm work ha changed, over the yearn, with the advent of machinery such a this steam-powere- d unit operated by Orson Bybee in the 19.KV.

One thousand to 2.000 bushels per day could be processed when the crews were working the large sand ridge fields. Farmers were particular about the way threshing crews left their straw stacks. Most straw had to be placed carefully next to the bam so the farmer had easy access to it. This slowed down the threshing process. WHEN THRESHING was done in the hills, one long continuous straw stack could be left. If a farmer wanted to sell his grain to the Kaysville or Layton mill, a grain buyer would come out to the field to test the moisture content of the gram and to quote Ihe farmer a selling price. MR. WIGGILL remembers Gov. Henry Blood, a in the Kaysville mill, was one grain buyer who conpart-own- tracted with local farmers. Weeds weren't a serious problem in the threshing process. Most green matter was eliminated by the header or dried out as the grain stood in the field in sheaves. training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

WHILE ONLY four men were needed to run the threshing machine, many more were needed to pitch the grain into the separator, run the header, the header boxes, operate a binder, and transport the grain by sacks to the mill or the private granary. A threshing engine used a wagon load (1 'h tons) of coal every two days. The engine generated 25 horse power. OVERALL LENGTH of a threshing machine was 16 to 18 feet. Drive wheels measured six feet high and 18 inches wide. The engine and feeder belt were placed 60 feet from the separator so the straw wouldn't catch on fire.
