HARVEST AND COLOUR 



NATURE paints few scenes that can compare with 

 a tract of corn-growing country, even though it is 

 probably inclined to flatness ; should it be undulating 

 and, in addition, freely or only sparsely timbered, its 

 beauty is very greatly enhanced. 



Then as harvest days approach, there is an inex- 

 pressible charm in the great waving masses of upright 

 wheat, with its brown-red-gold colouring, backed by the 

 deep late summer green of trees against a blue sky.
