Winter Harvest (1930)

No title. Landscape salt flats surrounded by trees. Camera pans. Car drives across salt flats. Harvesting salt is a straightforward test of human endurance against flare, heat and thirst Two men walk behind a horse drawn plough contraption which presumably scrapes up the salt. When they reach a certain point the gathering device is tipped out and the salt is left in a pile. The surface of this lake is 98 salt and about Â16, 000 harvest is gathered each C, U of two men at work. One man holds open a sack and the other man shovels in salt. C, U of man drinking from a metal can. He wipes his chin. Two men work shovelling salt into the back of a cart. One man wearing sunglasses takes his hat off and wipes his forehead. Large metal containers are filled with salt. We then see these trucks being moved along a railway line with a man operating an engine which pushes them along. Two men operate the horse drawn salt gathering device. They sit on it as the horses pull it along.
