Notes

What kind of equipment is a binder?
Donnie Rowland writes via email: "A binder was used to cut wheat and bundle it. It would then be picked up and run through a trashing machine."
Ben Brumfield is researching the people and places mentioned in the Julia Brumfield Diaries. He welcomes correspondence at benwbrum@gmail.com.
