From City to Farm Life on Puget Sound Oregon Coast
A thirty six year old professional man abandons city life for a western farm on Puget Sound base of the Olympic Mountains in Oregon. He clears 76 acres, builds homes and facilities, and runs a profitable dairy poultry and butter operation delivering weekly over a twelve year period. The family, with help from mother and daughters, manages all farm tasks with the three sons later attending an agricultural college. The bulletin notes farm income rising from about 5000 in 1906 and points to agronomy tips for old apple trees clover insects and pest control as part of rural life in the era.
