nIAoHINE PROBLEM.
Captain Jake Admire Tells How -Four
Farmers Solved 1t.

Captain Jake Admire Tells How -Four
Farmers Solved 1t.
Jacob Admire, of Kingfisher, has
taken up the threshing machine prob
lem. He saws: "Tbe threshing MAJ
chine problem has always been vex-
att Jus one. Generally, as soon as far
mers have harvested their small grain
they begin to look around for thresh'
ing machine. All cannot be accommo-
dated at once-some must wait. The
threshing machine men do the best
they can-one machine cannot be at
dozen places al once. We learn OF
four farmers who have solved the
problem. They live about six miles
north and east of Kingisher and
op adjoining farms. Their names
are r. w. Halstead W. G. Parker,
Ohio Tucker and Ira Balstead. This
year they have between 900 and 1000
acres Of wheat, and they expect IL to
produce an aggregate OF $4,000 or 90.
600 bushels of wheat. The price OF
threshing wheat this year out OF the
shock is 9 cents per bushel. At pres
ent prices, it costs one bushel out OF
every six to pay for threshing 1T. so
on this basis it would have cost these
four farmers at least 81 600 to thresh
their wheat crop this year. In other
words, 5000 of the $4,000 bushels OF
wheat would have gone to pay the
thresher. Th So farmers have their
own teams, wagons and laborers. In
order to fit out a machine crew they
may need to employ a little extra
la abor.
They figured this thing up. What
did they Go? They bought a thresh-
ing machine of their own. lt IS new,
1O-horse power engine cash price
81, 400. This is Sl6O less than it would
have cost them 10 have hired ther
wheat threshed, and after they have
paid for all the extra labor they may
need, the prob lhiiity is that they will
be out ve'y little more money than IL
would have cost them to have hired
threshing machine outfit to do their
work They do not have to run all
over the country, beg and wait indet-
nitely for threshing machine to get
ar -und to their work. 1h S is great
saving of time, labor and patience.
They can go at their work st once, get
it out Of the way, clean the ground
and put the plows to running for the
next years crop These four farmers
say they will use this machine only for
their own work AS soon as that is
done they viii house it away until
next season. They bought il for their
own convenience, and we believe they
have acted sensible
