Shoshones At Work On Wheat Threshing Scene
On October 12 a Shoshone threshing scene shows about twenty braves operating a Kingsland separator under supervision of Agency farmer staff. Horses power the machine, Indians feed sheaves, and the crowd displays pride, humor, and steady work as sacks of grain pile up and a clear straw, yellow and clean, stacks beside the wagon. The piece notes 194 threshing sacks, good humor, and optimism for next year as the Indians learn farming rituals.
