Panorama

Huge mushrooms of smoke fill the
sky on calm days. Smoke appears to
grow and billow from within itself,
changing from heavy black to a lighter
gray. If one is in the right slant to the
fields, the red flames are visible, feed-
ing on the straw covered stubble. Old-
timers shake their heads at the folly of
losing that valuable, replenishing hu-
mus for the soil.
Regardless, farmers struggle todeal
with heavy straw, an abundance of
weeds, and cheat or rye that have
invaded wheat fields. A few bum to
plant another crop on this ground that
should mature before the first freeze of

fall. Scents of smoke remain in the air
a long time.
Another group of farmers let the
straw fall in windrows and bale it for
supplemental feed or bedding for live-
stock during the long winter months.
Huge golden bales abound in the roll-
ing fields or have been lined in a enor-
mously long row or stack at the edge of
the field. So goes life on the farm!
