Scope and Content: View of a grain moving system on the Cameron Ranch. A description of the system is written on the back of the photograph. 'On the top of the hill the wagons drive up on bridge and dump their load into the big 250 thousand bushel holder, then it runs through the pipes to the edge [sic] of the hill & they shoot the wheat into the bucket that holds 50 bushels. & it comes across river and dumps into a bin & then as you see it run into the wagons (8 horses) & then 8 miles to the elevator. Noble saved an 18 mile haul by doing this & has no bins in the field same as other farmers. His crop will bring 1 1/4 million dollars. Bucket is about 1/2 way over the river in picture'.
