Parmers Predict Field Work Delayed By Warm Weather
Farmers expect field work to start after April 10 if warm weather continues. Roads remain poor as snow banks melt slowly, water flooding lanes and keeping surfaces wet. A plan to install a narrow ditch between lawn and walk could keep cement areas drier. Local social notes mention Jobin Christ and wife visiting Waterloo, Mrs Fertig and family. Mrs C J Harrington and Mildred visiting West Union. Lehman serving as juror in Oelwein. Henrietta and Albert Topp returning from Sumner. Lena Meyer helping at Schroeder millinery. Ed Hanson and Fred Wobler hosted Velwéin visitors. Springlike weather noted.
