Lithuanian Harvest in the 1920s

I don't know where in Lithuania these photos were taken or who is the author of the information written on the back.  I estimate that they date from the 1920s.

On the reverse is written: "Reaping the harvest,  At this time they rise at 4.30.  Cousin Anthony 3rd from right.  Head gear is protection from the sun."

"Mostly unaware this photograph was being taken.  The tailor seems the only one to notice.  Note the extent of the farm house, the duck and farm implement.  Farm one of biggest in Lithuania.  They bought a new device to separate the cream from the milk.  The milk goes to the pigs and the cream is made into cheese."

"Close up of Uncle Wincas and grandchildren.  Note the tailor drinking his beer note the look on the face of the little girl to the left of Uncle Wincas."
