Description
  • Scope and content: Full caption reads as follows: Haskell County, Kansas. Virtually every farm in the county is primarily dependent upon wheat, although a number of farmers plant sorghums and small grains for feed and sale, raise feeders or sheep, keep large flocks of hens and try in other ways to make part ot their income independent of the wheat crop. These pictures were all taken in the early part of April, when agricultural activities were at a low ebb. There was Spring plowing and cultivating to be done on the land that was not planted to wheat, planting of small grains, harvesting of sorghums that had been left out over the Winter, and the usual amount of wind erosion control work. At this particular time the wheat was coming up well, and there had been sufficient rain. Prospects for making a crop were good, but in this country good prospects don't mean much. This picture shows one of the two irrigation wells in operation. This one can flood thirty or forty acres of land. Wells like these are very expensive, and while they practically guarantee a crop of sorghums on the land they serve, they cannot be used on the wheat land itself. No well could possibly irrigate a tenth of the wheat land that a farmer would need to make a living.
