Artificial groves add value and fuel to farms
Spirit Lake Beacon reports Alexander Robertson Jr of Silver Lake township cut nine cords from a grove planted a decade ago. The windbreak wood was taken from windfalls only, preserving the grove. The article notes such plantings raise land value, aid comfort, and can boost farm sale price by 85 per acre on 160 acres. It also mentions Kanawha Record arrest of Dan D. Holland for selling liquor without a permit and prior $400 fine. Additional items include obituaries, cattle sales, and Wright family reunion notes. A Spirit Lake worker saves money via a cunning can savings plan with a dollar-slot device.
