What the idaho" Did
During Past Season

made in Moscow, during the past
harvest will be OF interest to the
people generally. The farmers men,
toned are all well known and re-
sponsible, and the statements made
herein may be verified by u personal
interview with any of them. Some
OF the machines have not yet report
ed, but it is known that not one of
the seventeen put in the field this
season failed to make good and then
some. They surprised even the most
sanguine stakeholder, and in every
case compelled those who went to
watch them in the field to admit
their merits. Here is food for thought:
John Fryxell OF Asotin, Wash, In
Asotin county, cut and threshed $50
acres in 10 days and writes the CON-
pany he is more than pleased.
e. NJ. Lawrence of Idaho Falls,
made a record of 325 acres of grain
in % days. His letter to the COM
pany under date OF Sept. IA, stated
that he would cut 100 acres more
this season, or u total of 425 acres
for the season of 1910.
William Clyde, whose farm is four
miles south of Moscow, harvested
12O acres in days, or 15 acres a day.
This was the third season with a
MOscow..combine for Mr.. Clyde, who
believes the little Idaho the best
harvesting machine in the world
today.
H. c. Jorsensen, Grass Valley,
Moro county, Oregon, cut 400 acres
during the past season, making from
II to Is acres a day. Many prom
inent people OF his section watched
the 7-fCot Idaho" at work on the
JOrgensOn farm and wrote the COM
pany at Moscow that it was doing
great work.
Morris 4 Pickle. farmers of Wheel
an, Wn., used an Idaho for the first
time this season and have made a
they consider the Moscow combine
the greatest machine on the market
They harvested during the season
240 acres, making an average OF 10
acres q day. I'VE would have done
much BETTER" said Mr.. Morris, "were
it not for the fact that we had so
many vinitOrs that it took much of
our time explaining the machine to
them
G. H. Summers of Summit, NeZ
Perez county, cut 165 acres, making
an average OF II acres a day. This
was his first experience with the
Moscow machine He wrote to the
company saying he was we'll salts
fed, concluding his letter with the
statement: ''Well, can say the ma
chine is all right" His ground was
very steep, proving that the Idaho"
is a wonderful machine on side hills.
Chas. Watson of Pomeroy, Wn,
harvested $50 acres with a daily
average of II acres. He declares
that the Idaho" was a great sue
cess; that every small farmer should
have one, and the large farmers two
or more.
c. A. Wing OF Sweetwater, Nez
Perez county, harvested 100 acres,
averaging ten acres a day on bad
ground. His farm was badly seeded
to Chinese lettuce and Jim Hill mus
tard, Il terror to all machines. With
an Idaho" Mr.. Wing found no diff
ficulty in harvesting his grain, the
Idaho" cutting the tough weeds
without any trouble.
ii. G. Hanson, a prominent farmer
OF Genesee, with no previous expert
ence with the Idaho" combine, aver
aged 10 acres in harvesting his 100
acres OF heavy grain. His wheat
made an average of fifty-one bushels
per acre and in places was very
heavy, making no less than sixty
bushels. The Idaho" banded the
heavy wheat without an effort,
proving it's capacity to cut and
thresh even the bumper crops of the
Genesee section. Mr.. Hanson is now
boosting the Moscow combine, and
those interested are invited to cor.
respond with him.
George Fem OF Grangeville, has
operated a Moscow combine during
the season of 1910 and has made a
satisfactory record. The Grange
vile papers have spoken fiatteringly
of the Little Idaho," saying that it
was a wonderful piece of machinery
and was doing all that was claimed
for it. &c. Hattibaugh, well known
in Moscow, and an implement dealer
in Grangeville, saw the ''Idaho" at
work on the Fem farm and pro-
nOunced it a successful machine.
After seeing the Fem combine work
three of his neiOhbOrs have already
