We had three clean grain sieves for wheat, milo and clover. In later years, we put bomber tires on the combine and also a Thomas Drive, which provided variable speed.
The first self-propelled combine that came into the Lorraine area, also in the early 1940s, was a galvanized Massey-Harris, owned by the Wilkens brothers, but they bought their machine at Pollard, Kan., in Rice County.
I'm 74 years old and still plant about 600 acres of wheat every year.
