Roy Barland recently bought a new combine now used to harvest soybeans in a county section. It works well, performing harvest threshing and thinning in one pass. Friday and Saturday it operated in the Kenneth Meyers field near the northwest adjoining town. Spectators watched, many seeing such a machine for the first time. The machine is driven by a small gasoline engine on the combine, pulled by Bill Johnston’s tractor, with Mr. Johnston driving and Mr. Harland operating the combine.
