I have been posting about Joe Curtis being a ranch hand in Range Creek and showing a better way to get rid of greasewoods with a team of horses to clear land for growing alfalfa. Hay or alfalfa is important to a farmer or rancher. It's important if you grow alfalfa and it's important if you use alfalfa to feed livestock. We most always had hay at the ranch at Woodside. Even I loaded hay on a pickup to haul to Woodside to feed horses. My uncle Russel didn't grow alfalfa but he had a hay baler that he had bought I guess at a good price. He would supplement his income by baling hay for others who raised alfalfa but did not have a baler. I'm not sure whether he had a rake for hay or not but I'm sure he had a baler. So alfalfa figures in the lives of many of the descendant's of Joseph the 1st or Joseph B. Curtis who we know as Joseph Augustus Curtis, Sr. I guess we could say here, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree".
