Local men witness skies in style with big Ford plane
Perry Hutton piloted the all metal tri motor eight seater that drew Atchison officials and Chamber leaders to Bushfield. The 10,000 pound craft reached 125 mph, carried 10 passengers on a second flight, and sparked talks of an airport to connect Atchison to aerial routes. The visit highlighted county agricultural gains with a thriving apple and tomato program and a Foley family reunion.

Tomato Season Drainage Project Gains Momentum
Tomato season in Atchison County shifts into full swing as the Tomato Growers' association ships a third car to Chicago. At Kincaid packing shed, eight workers grade and pack 40 acres of crop, with 850 to 900 baskets per car. Flood-control drainage work for Independence Creek moves from talk to action, with engineer Claude K Shedd and county agents assessing a plan to straighten three miles of channel, protect about 17 farms, and potential five-mile influence area. 85 percent of local farmers favor the project as landowners prepare to form a drainage district association and issue bonds.
