Father and Son Farming

Delbert farmed with his father Joseph Hyrum Argyle.  They were always interested in having the newest developments in farm equipment.  The first combine Denece remembers would cut the grain and the straw came down a chute and would drop into  a tent like thing that her father made.  It was Denece's job to stand in the middle of it until there was a good pile of straw and then they would move it to the side and it would pivot and dump out the straw.  This saved a lot of time because they would not have to go back and rake up the straw.
