Delay Reports Crops Look Wonderful Across Midwest
J C Delay returning from a five week outing says crops in northern Minnesota are thriving while frost threatens other areas. He noted bumper yields of oats and wheat near Itaska Lake and two large patches of well matured early potatoes. Rain helped late potatoes, corn in South Dakota Nebraska towns appears superb but may not mature due to lateness and frost risk. Templar Park in Spirit Lake, with floral enhancements and a new extension golf drive, is described as more attractive, and Lindbergh was seen in Omaha.

Creston Junior College Outlines Growth and Jobs Aid
Vern Sanders, dean, toldCreston Rotary that the college spends at least 29 325 annually in the city and that part time work supports students who could not attend college. Enrollment reaches 102 in freshman and sophomore work, with Mason City Fort Dodge and Burlington nearby colleges similar. Sanders argues Creston’s location attracts out of town students and that second year credits may transfer to standard colleges, enabling bachelor degrees in two years. The college emphasizes a strong faculty with masters degrees and a year of social events planned. Guests at the meeting included C J Fiddick Chris Scott and Richard Young, who spoke on farm policies and crop prospects.
