My grandfather, John Bailey, was born in Raymond, Kan., in 1896
and was farming in Moscow, Kan., in the early 1920s when my dad was
born. The photo (above) of the combine is interesting and I was
wondering if anyone could identify the combine make or even the
tractor brand.
The second photo is of two header barges. How does a header
barge work? This photo (below) was taken at Bloom, Kan. Is there
such a place? This was my grandfather’s crew in the early teens,
probably before he went to World War I.
