Harvesters Thresh Across River North of Pella in Fine Weather
More than one hundred workers across the river near Galesburg and Sully used clear weather Saturday to bin grain. Four threshing crews operate steam and tractor outfits, with Art Cummings of Pella piloting a steam engine admired for its reliability. The 1914 Richland Brown Threshing Ring, now held by new generations, marks perhaps the oldest ring in the area.
