To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It belongs to Mr Reggan ; he has 40, 000 acres of grain, and he has at present fifteen of these harvesters at work. To make sure that there is no dew or moisture on the grain, the harvesters don't begin till the sun is well up, generally about nine o'clock, and to save time the cooking carriage travels from one harvester to another and supplies the men with dinner, so that after they begin they don't unhitch the horses until the day's work is done. " He wound up by saying, " I guess that is a l...ong way ahead of your ways of harvesting in the old country. " Where the railway passed through grain fields, there were about a hundred feet between the line and the crops, and the railway company had to keep about ten or twelve feet ploughed alongside the grain, so that if the dried grass by the side of the line took fire it 44 would not reach the grain. In respect of seed-time and harvest, the American has a mighty advantage over the British farmer, whose crops are frequently injured by unfavourable harvest weather, causing an excessive amount of manual labour, while the Californian farmer, after putting his seed into the ground, can rely on having three months of wet weather and a harvest without a single shower.
