Caution: This survey transcription contains prejudiced descriptions and may contain violent language.
Transcription:
"There are 5 brothers in this family, ranging from about 20 up to 35. Their mother recently died. Their father died some years ago. They are healthy, able bodied, rather intelligent young men. Most of the time they have lived very much together. They are all married except the youngest and there are some children.
In the Spring, they can do more talking about extensive farm operations and about just how they are going to do it than an agricultural expert, but the results have been very unsatisfactory. When we want to find one of them, instead of going to his farm, we usually go to the poolhall in Hardin and are seldom disappointed.
The elder brother, who is the subject of a separate report, has moved to Wyola and is living somewhat separate. These brothers spend part of their time with him, depending, I judge, upon where the better supply of grub can be found.
These boys have among them some very good farm land. It should be very good alfalfa or beet land or good wild hay land, but they will not do persistent work. In this family, there is Edmund Daylight, about 27 years old, wife and two children; Becker, about 23 years old was married but is separated; Trask, about 20 years old, single; and Shobe has two children. This one home, located on the allotment of Trask, the youngest of the family, is the home for all. It is, of course, very desirable to get these married brothers to living in separate homes, whenever funds can be procured for building the necessary houses. They are good material for a lot of missionary work yet."
