Farmers working in wheat field, Jinan, Shandong, China, ca.1940

"Frame 6 - Agricultural scenes: University campus is in the country outside the wall that surrounds the suburb of the city. 6, Faculty residences in the background. Wheat Harvest on the farm adjoining the campus. Experimentation with drought-resistant grains is part of the extension work of the university Farms. Primitive methods of harvesting, without mechanical aide? Yes, scornful and superior ones, but no unemployment, either, and no 'bread lines knee-deep in wheat'. Wheat is the staple crop which 'the good earth' produces for the hungry mouths in Shangtung, and 'the Wheat' is used for dating events for months before and after. 'You ought to come into the hospital for treatment. Can't you come in today?' 'No, just let me go home till after the wheat, then I'll come back.' Or, 'When did you first notice this tumor?' 'It was last year, just about the time of the wheat.' Notice the hexagonal straw hats, warn for sun-protection by the farmers, but also highly esteemed by young Westerners of the female persuasion." Three farmers are in a field, two close to the camera, and all are working on harvesting wheat. They're wearing traditional Chinese clothing and straw hats toprotect them from the sun.
