Neighbors Aid Austin Farmer With Harvest Work
Mrs. Don Schrafer credited neighbors for major help at her rural Austin farm after diabetes hospitalizations. On Monday the Sheedy brothers asked how they could help with fall chores and by Wednesday about 17 neighbors, eight with tractors, plowed 60 acres and spread manure. Carried by a large turnout, supper was served by eight wives. Carl Kehret supervised plowing and Chester Taylor with Elven Yeadon handled manure spreading. Mrs Schrafer called it overwhelming and said she’d rather give than receive.
