Back-to-school showers and historic dates mix in weekly notes
A jumble of calendar quirks and events runs from school week showers to anniversaries of calendar reform and disasters. It mentions Labor Day on Sept 1 1986, a 1752 calendar switch protests in Britain, a 1935 Florida Keys hurricane death toll, and the 1901 McKinley assassination, plus a reader query about restoring an old bathtub with epoxy paints and cautions about fumigation after work.

Effect of eastern milk strike debated grows in Maine and Wisconsin
Reports on the Labor Day milk strike vary with Maine deputy agriculture official claiming little support while a Skowhegan dairy farmer says backing is rising and Tuesday rumors place half Maine milk tied up. In Wisconsin the Leffel family dumped 1500 pounds of milk amid protests over prices as notes threaten private plants.

Florence County seeks hay donations to cover drought shortages
Florence County farmers face a severe hay shortfall with only about 25 percent of needed supply gathered. Donations from across Wisconsin Minnesota and northern Illinois have arrived but more hay is essential to feed livestock until next harvest. Transportation remains the hurdle as trucking capacity is limited and costs high. The county offers a $10 000 nest egg to pay haulers on delivery and asks donors and truckers to contact the county agent for arrangements.
