I had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful machine at work in California in 1887. It was propelled by 16 mules, harnessed behind, so as not to be in the way; but steam-power is now used.
The Wonderful Century. Alfred Russel Wallace, 1898.
The idea of harvesting in one operation is now more than a hundred years old. Two separate combined harvesting and threshing machines were patented in the United States in 1836, but neither achieved any practical success. One of the earliest practical machines was a stripper type combine invented in Australia in 1845. Little advance was made until about 1860, when machines began to be rapidly developed in California, where conditions are especially favourable to the combined operation. Improvements in both reapers and threshers were incorporated in the combined machines, and by 1890 combines were not at all uncommon in California.
It was not until the period just after the 1914-18 war that the combine began to spread appreciably to the east of the Rocky Mountains into the semi-arid sections of the United States and the Canadian Prairies, and it was only after about 1930 that small machines began to be generally used in the mixed farming areas of the Middle West and the Eastern States. The combine is essentially a labour-saving machine, and the main reason for its spread throughout North America has been the economic necessity of reducing production costs by reducing man-labour.
The combine was introduced into this country in 1928. In 1930, four privately owned machines were at work here; in 1931 the number had risen to ten, and the next year it was doubled. There were just over fifty machines at work in England during the 1937 harvest. Shortage of labour during the war years greatly accelerated adoption of combining. About 500 machines were in use in 1941 and nearly 1,000 in 1942. By 1947, when about 5,000 machines were in use, the practice of harvesting by combine had spread to all important grain-producing areas in Britain, and since that time the numbers used have increased substantially, about 20,000 being on British farms by 1952.
