Collection search - M. Z. Durand utilise une machine qui extrait du riz sauvage

Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: Wild rice, once a staple food of North American Indians and later of pioneer adventurers, is today being grown in central Canada on an ever-widening scale. Slow-moving rivers, marshes and shallow lakes make the best planting grounds. Mr. Z. Durand of Winnipeg demonstrates a rice-harvester, invented and built by himself. Long slender scoops are set on a trough fixed across the boat; gently vibrating rods shake the ripe kernels from the plant.
