the $4,000 Aberdeen Angus bull, as
the head of his herd and he has some
as pretty calves as one would care to
see, all black and all polled.
Dean Johnson, of Washington State
College, visited Mr.. Breeze's farm re-
Gently and asked many questions
about his methods The dean was
doubtful that so much grass would
pay and said: "You have 12O acres
in grass and only 40 cattle That is
three acres to the head Will it pay
on such high priced land?" Mr..
Breeze replied:
Il find it far better to be long on
feed and short on cattle than long ON
cattle and short on feed l can buy
more cattle, but | cannot buy more
feed. 1t is not in the country. This
120 acres will not only pasture and
feed my stock cattle but my milk COWS
and my work horses and do not have
to cut any So per bushel wheat for hay
to feed my stock. / will probably
have several hundred dollars worth Of
hay to sell and ii, pays about as well
as wheat. | can get $40 per ton for
my hay this year and will yield from
24s to tons per acre. Not bad re-
turn on land worth around $10O per
acre, is it? | can sell hay at $40 per
ton in the field and make good money.
l expect to increase the number of
cattle on my farm just as soon as I
know l am going to have enough feed
for them. / believe | can keep twice
as many cattle on my farm and make
profit from them, with the straw
and the hay and the pasture for
feed"
Mr.. Breeze has the best wheat crop
the writer has seen this year. One
field of 65 acres looks like it would
yield close to SO bushels This field
produced 81 bushels one year and so
bushels another Mr. Breeze pastured
40 head of cattle Is days in April and
May on this field of wheat and says
he finds that pasturing fall wheat in
the spring helps the wheat and gives
his cattle lot of fine feed
The answer to the question ''Does
Mr.. Breeze's methods of farming
pay?" is given by the facts. Twenty
years ago the writer knew Mr.. Breeze
He was working as a farm hand for
Ezra Munlux, one of the big wheat
farmers of the Pullman district. Mr..
Munlux raised wheat exclusively. Mr..
Breeze saved enough from his wages
to pay one half down on 16O acres of
land which he bought from Mr. Mum
lux He finished paying for that and
bought more of his former employers
land. Today he owns the entire TAO
acres, has it we'll stocked, well equip
ped with two sets of buildings, and
mas made it one of the show places of
Whitman county. He has "made it
pay"
