The Browning Leader-Record from Brown ing Missouri lists editor Joe Nickell and notes its post office filing as second class mail matter dated July 8 1897 with a publication date of Thursday June 20 1934.
A sunny spell followed by rain prompts garden planting and corn sowing. Residents report fishing on Parson Creek and local outings, with visits from Browning and Linneus residents. Neighbors help with pump repairs, medical updates, and social calls to friends and relatives in Browning, Galt, and Shafter.
The report notes rain on planted corn and gardens and lists visitors in the community. Families including Monroe Bailey Baileys Rulon, Bauer, Smiths, Burkholder and Wilsons share calls and travel, with trips to Iowa after unloading a truck of corn and a visit by Mildred Wilson to Aunt Pearl Bailey.
Mrs Traice Christian and her children visited her parents Mr and Mrs Will Welch on Friday, sharing time with family members and returning home afterward.
Local social notes recount visits and family gatherings. Herman Hutchinson and wife along with George Pulliam and wife and Darold Hutchinson and wife dropped by Josh Bumgarner's Friday evening. R. D. Cassity and wife and Rev. Brumback of Kansas City joined Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hedges for Sunday dinner.
A reader notes a rainy visit pattern in Brookfield with social calls and gatherings at local homes. The column then warns that red sorrel is spreading across Missouri pastures, often returning after cycles of appearance, and recommends plowing, rotation, fertilization, liming, and reseeding as the practical control, detailing long term management.
The text explains stocking rates and rotation grazing to maintain healthy pastures, and introduces Atlacido a non poisonous sodium chlorate to kill weeds with recommendations to apply 4 to 5 lbs per square rod. It notes repeated yearly treatment, long lasting weed-free periods, and cattle safety. It also covers seed stripping, timing to avoid yield loss, and methods including hand and machine strippers with Missouri examples.
B M King of the Missouri College of Agriculture says bluegrass seeds should be stripped when the head turns yellow and the seed firms. The stripping season is short, about two to three weeks, with peak in the second week of June and a large statewide harvest. The 1935 season may run a week to ten days later than normal. For any grass area the stripping period is typically 10 days or less once maturity is reached.
A historical note advises poultry raisers that buggy production and selling spring chickens at low weights have declined in demand. The writer argues travel trends and changing eating preferences reduce prices, while hens and heavier meats rise in value, urging adaptation to market tastes.
A reader named Frank Priebe argues that small broiler chickens, once a luxury, are now cheap but unpopular. He suggests farmers should use range shelters to free space instead of slaughtering at the broiler stage, noting demand is met by specialized poultry farms and profits lie in larger birds.
