Harvest notes and rural reflections from Billarp
An idiosyncratic column blends farm life, politics, and personal musings. The narrator riffs on harvest labor, independence, and social duty while contrasting old and new farming ways, interspersed with anecdotes about rabbits, blackberry wine, and a failed water-walking experiment. He weighs Washington reelection talk and local governance, then pivots to fruit marketing and transportation issues in the South, praising timely packaging and the Southern Express Company.

A grim incident at a Missouri farm near Dixon involves the suffocation of two young girls, daughters of Mrs. Amalia Mogach.
