Horse-power farming machine in the Palouse in the 1920's
Farming was extremely labor-intensive and still relied heavily on human and horse-power. An organized harvesting/threshing team in the 1920's required 120 men and 320 mules and horses. Teams moved from farm to farm as the crops ripened. Few farmers had enough horses to pull such a machine, which required a crew of 40 horses and six men to operate on level ground. Because of this, use of combines on the Palouse lagged behind use in other farming communities in the United States.

"Cartoon shows two pairs of hands grasping for an Atom Bomb, one with a sleeve bearing a star and a cufflink reading "US," the other with a hammer and sickle. Probably drawn after President Truman announced in September 1949 that the Soviet Union had exploded an atomic bomb. Expresses concern over what may happen, now that the opposing superpowers both have atomic weapons capability."
Cartoon shows the world as a globe being squeezed in a vise made up of two bombs, one labeled "Russia's Bombs" and the other "U.S.' Bombs." Reflects the fear of a world-wide atomic war that developed after the revelation in September 1949 that the Russians also had exploded an atomic weapon.
