"We raised our own living; expenses were minor, we lived good, had plenty," Henry Hastings recalled in 1953. He remembered many bad winters, but during his early years of farming in Deaf Smith County after he moved from Tulia in 1917, the rains were ample, and good crops were raised without irrigation. Neighbors all worked together, helping each other until the work was done; then they played together. They had church and Sunday School parties, picnics, and big reunions lasting for a week at a time.
