North Dakota wheat yielded 28.7 bu., more than twice last year's, and nearly double the ten-year average. Iowa corn came in at 76 bu. per acre, well above the ten-year average of 57.2.

The Gleaner (see opposite page) could be merely a grim glimpse of an old peasant woman bending to her daily drudgery, but Underwood had a more cheerful inspiration. "What would a woman want to be doing gleaning ears of corn?" he asks. "She is picking up a man. Look at the text: 'And her hap was to light upon, a part of the field belonging to Boaz.'
