Uncle Henry’s Letter from South Dakota Corn Belt
A letter from Uncle Henry, Denver Tribune correspondent, waxes about farming Texas to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. He notes corn yields, road improvements, and labor day celebrations, plus Indian land allotments, the wagoner gathering, and local corn varieties with acreages for 1922 and 1923. He imagines vast agricultural potential across states and regions.
