Haskell County, Kansas. Though the people here are not able to do much in the way of self-sufficient agriculture, they try to make themselves as independent of outside skilled help as possible. Nearly every farm has its shop, and most farmers are able mechanics. Since all their work is done with machines, they must understand them as any worker must understand the tools of his trade. There are always mechanical jobs that require special equipment, so that this machine shop in Sublette has plenty of work to do. In harvest time it has more than it can handle.
