From the Foreword:
Two years ago it was determined to start a question and answer department in The American Thresherman. Notice was served to our subscribers to that effect and the questions began t0 come in immediately. They have been coming in ever since from practical threshermen all over the country-questions 'in regard to their daily work that they asked honestly because they wanted help. They have come to us from young men just starting out, from old men who have practically spent their lives in the business, from representatives of the great thresher houses, and, in fact, from all classes of people who are in any way interested in the great grain trade of the country.Not only have all these different classes of people been represented, but all sections of the country as well. There is not a grain growing state in the Union or a considerable section of any such state that is not represented in these pages. We have answered these questions as best we could in The American Thresherman each month as they came in. Once or twice we made a slip and then how the letters poured in from the boys in the field! This has been peculiarly their own department and they have watched it jealously, and whenever they saw anything to criticize they never hesitated to do so. All of these criticisms have been taken advantage of in compiling the questions and answers in book form.
The subject matter has been arranged under headings, so that all questions and answers bearing on the same subject will be found on consecutive pages. This is a decided advantage to the reader be- cause a complete understanding of one question and its answer often depends upon a knowledge of another one closely related to it.
