Kathleen Strange was born in London in 1896, but emigrated to Alberta where she and her husband farmed for 10 years.  In 1923, they won the World's Wheat Championship at Chicago.  In 1937 she wrote her memoir, With the West in Her Eyes.  The Story of a Modern Pioneer, which won the $1000 non-fiction prize jointly sponsored by Dodge and the Canadian Authors' Club.  It detailed the 11 years she and her husband Henry farmed, from 1919 to 1930.  A section about threshing was excerpted in a 1952 book.  I've uploaded it here:  Threshing.
