ROY F. WYATT

    Although one of the younger business men of Yolo county, Mr. Wyatt has
demonstrated clearly his possession of not only sterling principles, but of
exceptional business ability as well, and by his progressive spirit and untiring
enterprise has set an example well worthy of emulation among his fellow workers.

    A native of California, his birth having occurred in Dixon, Solano county,
May 6, 1888, Mr. Wyatt came to Yolo county two years later with his parents, M.
O. and Lulu (Shelford) Wyatt, of Winters. Two years before his graduation from
the Winters high school he negotiated for his present ranch of two hundred and
fifty acres, and upon the completion of his studies in 1907 turned all his
attention to his property. The Linda Vista dairy, as his place is known, lies
three miles east of Winters and at present is supplied by seventy milch cows. By
means of a Simplex separator, which has a capacity of twelve hundred pounds per
hour, and which is operated by electricity, the cream and milk are divided, the
former being sold to the Western Yolo Creamery at Winters. In 1910 a one hundred
ton cement silo was erected and filled with green alfalfa for winter feed, the
cows doing exceptionally well under that system of feeding. All the dry hay used
for feed on the farm is chopped, a method which Mr. Wyatt finds very
satisfactory. Eighty acres are in alfalfa, which is under irrigation, and the
remainder of the tract is in grain and pasture. In the operation of his ranch
Mr. Wyatt uses about ten horses. Besides his dairy and farming interests he is
engaged in raising Berkshire hogs and Holstein cattle. There are four good wells
on the property, also a pumping plant which furnishes nine hundred gallons per
minute, a six-inch pump being used.

    The marriage of Mr. Wyatt in Alameda, November 10, 1910, united him with
Miss Ruth Sackett of that city, the daughter of Buel R. Sackett, whose biography
appears on another page of this volume.

    Mr. Wyatt is an active member of Acacia Camp No. 176, W. O. W., and as a
Republican is intelligently interested in political movements, as well as all
enterprises relating to the welfare of the community in which he lives. He is
affiliated with the Men's Bible Class of the Winters Christian Church, to which
he contributes liberally, and is never too busy to assist his fellows, both by
cheering words and practical help.
