Figure 185. Poster: How Frances Johnson’s father flailed rice

Frances Johnson had learned several unique rice cultivation techniques from her father, Vico Johnson. Here, she shows how he threshed his rice by placing it on a table-like structure and beating it with a flail so the grains of rice fell to a sheet on the ground. (Poster by Amelia Vernon, donated 1998.)
