[meteorite-list] Winter Wheat was T-shirt (and French Fall)

Hi Mendy,

I'm not sure if they had winter wheat crops back then, but that's
actually irrelevent. Winter wheat pertains to a wheat crop that is
planted in the fall. It sprouts up and gets about the height of a nice
lawn before the snow flies, at which time it takes a nap until spring.
When the Sun warms the ground in spring, the wheat takes off and grows
at a quick rate and is harvested in ~ mid July. That's how it goes in
Michigan anyway. My neighbor grows a particular wheat that is used only
in fine pastries! High dollar stuff I hear.

Hope that helps!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

I know next to nothing about farming, but did they have winter wheat
crops back
then?

Excellent observation, Bernd! Indeed, the grass is too high for
January! The
mystery continues.

Perhaps Zelimir can tell us if there is anything in Lespiault and
Forquignon's report that corroborates any of the features of Poyet's
illustration. Here is a link to the original report (in French):

I love these kinds of meteorite mysteries. Let's solve it! I'll keep
looking...

Hello List,

I wrote:

"St. Caprais-de-Quinsac...Gironde (France) Fell 1883, Jan 28, 14:45 hrs"

Sounds good, looks good, ... but:

Have a close look at the date of the fall: Jan 28 !!!

Now, when you compare this with Mike B.'s remarks:

"One will note that there are many farmers about and the horse is
saddled
with the hay carriage."

The only conclusion we can thus draw is that the scene depicts an
(imaginary?) event in late summer during the harvest season, probably
August.

Another possibility might be that Poyet so-to-speak "merged"
two incidents: the fall of the St. Caprais-de-Quinsac meteorite and the
harvest scene.

A case of ... artistic license?

Bernd
