World Fair '39, Rose Bowl, Christmas 1939

Reel 4 shows the rice fields flooded with water for planting, and a crop duster flying over the rice fields to drop the germinated rice seed. Reel 4 also shows rice being harvested with a reaper, and bags of sown rice stacked and ready for transport. The reel depicts rice transported via a pipe above a platform on the left side of the harvester, and the bottom of the pipe is shaped like an inverted "Y" with a lever that can direct the rice down one side or another. A burlap bag is attached on the side for filling. Once the bag is full, it slides down to the ground where it is picked up.
