A DAY In THE COUNTRY
The Herald Editor and Family Spend
Pleasant Day on Henry
Young's Model Farm

Last Sunday the writer, accompan-
led by his family and Rev. d. V. Ham
ilton, of Ignacio, Colorado, visited
the country home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Young, IL miles southwest of
Pullman. 1t was an ideal day for a
drive in the country, being cool
enough to make driving a pleasure
and the dust was not nearly so bad
as one might expect at this time of
the year. Owing to several break
downs and other delays during the
week the big combined machine was
In operation Sunday and the visitors
greatly enjoyed the novelty of see
ing the big machine work and riding
on it around the field. This ma
chine is drawn by 26 horses and cuts
IL feet at a swath. An average of
about 20 acres per day is cut and
thresEed with this machine, which
does splendid work, leaving the grain
much cleaner than the ordinary
stationary thresher.
Mr.. Young has one of the most
pleasant country homes in that sec
ton, having lived on the one farm
for PC years. He has accumulated
500 acres of land, all oe which is fer
tile and produces enormous crops of
grain. He had finished harvesting
zoo acres which yielded AZ bushels
after considerable portion of it
had been knocked down by the heavy
rains the last week of July. The
grain he was cutting on last Sun
day was estimated to yield so bush
els per acre before the rains, which
probably destroyed 10 per cent. of
II. The grain is of excellent quality,
being hard and plump and weighing
heavy. 1t is college hybrid No. 10S,
a fine variety, standing well, yield
Ing well and bringing a good price
when sold
Mr.. Young has a fine country
home, his house having nine rooms
and being plumbed and having water
piped into it from a reservoir on the
hill above the house, into which the
water is pumped by wind mills from
two fine wells. The house is mod.
ern, with bath and other convenience
es and is an ideal country home. A
fine orchard supplies more thar

penditure and every voucher. All
accounts were found to be correct
and the college starts on the new
year with a clean slate. There are
few closer or better methods of
checking accounts than that used by
the federal department of agricul-
ture in handling the experiment sta
lions and it is said to be equal in
thoroughness to tie inspection of
post Offices and national banks. Dr.
Beal had hearty laugh over the eff
forts of the state legislature to
change the law and adopt a new me-
thod of handling experiment station
funds furnished by the federal gov
eminent, but he says Washington
legislature is not the first to make
this mistake, as several other state
legislatures have tried to provide me-
thods of handling the national funds
only to be laughed at.
Dr. Beal complimented the station
staff and Professor Thatcher on the
work at the experiment station, and
the progress that has been made. He
5aid that the work here compares
favorably with the best stations on
his circuit and that the results are
satisfactory. DR.. Beal left Tuesday
evening for Oregon to visit the eX
pertinent station there.

enough of all kinds of fruit to sup
ply the family. Mr.. Young owns
many fine horses, the value of the
teams pulling his combined machine
being placed at between $4,000 and
$4,000, and he is raising some fine
colts.
The family has decided to take
life easier for a few years and the
farm has been rented to win Hogan
for a period of three years. Mr..
Hogan gets possession in October
and Mr.. Young intends to have a big
sale Immediately after harvest is over
and the grain hauled away, and will
then go to Los Angeles, California.
where they will reside for three
years, after which the two Oldest
sons, Wade and Reed, will probably
return and take possession of the
farm and engage in farming and
raising horses and mules.
Mr.. Hamilton, who had never seen
a combined machine, was deeply in
terested both in the working of the
machine and the fine farms and mag
nificant crops seen along the road and
he will carry some interesting tales
back to his home in Colorado when
he returns next month.
