ShookRemark: D. E. Frink is believed to be David Elias Frink given data available from historical census and marriage records. David was born October 23, 1869, near Groveland, LaSalle County, Illinois, the son of William Elias Frink and Orillia (Kenyon) Frink. He later moved Kansas and then to central Idaho, living in the Kooskia and Nezperce areas. On April 15, 1900, in Nezperce, Lewis County, Idaho, David married Erminnie "Polly" Quinn. Census records indicate that David was employed as a packer in a flour mill while living near Kooskia in 1910, while 1900 and 1920 census records indicate that he was a farmer. David passed away on February 25, 1924, in Synarep, Okanogan County, Washington, and was buried in the Tunk Valley Cemetery in Riverside, Okanogan County, Washington.The Montana State College published a bulletin (No. 71) in June 1924 concerning cost reduction in dry land wheat harvest that includes the following about the push binder and its operation:PUSH BINDERS - Combination push binders and headers are growing in popularity. They are constructed so that either a binder or a header elevator may be used on the same platform, and allowing them to be used as a header in connection with the header-barges described later in this bulletin. A farmer having such an outfit may use a binder head in a 'binder year' and the header during a 'header year.' Twenty-five acres per day may be cut with a 12-foot machine in medium grain. It requires two men to keep up in shocking medium grain.Shocking varies, of course, according to the straw and theyield of grain. Experience indicates that the 14-foot cut is alittle too wide for the binder head, as in heavy grain the bundles come out faster than the binder can bind them. Some farmers, because of labor shortage, have eliminated shocking, allowing the bundles to remain on the ground, but this is doubtful practice since there is danger from damage by weather and because additional time and labor are required to gather them up during the threshing season. But little can be said in connection with shocking as far as labor saving devices are concerned. In using the binder there is an advantage in that the binder may be started on the green side and the header used later when the grain is further ripened.Copyright 2015. Some rights reserved.
