Our department invites farmers from Stephenson County to contribute articles on any topic related to local farming. Write clearly on one side of the paper and submit for publication.
An article stresses the vital role of entomology to millers as grain losses stem from pests. It explains how the true weevil damages grain in heaps, its life cycle, and signs of infestation. Methods include air and heat treatment, sun drying, thorough cleaning, and regular turning of stored wheat to deter eggs and larvae. It also cites milling tips and various horticultural anecdotes on crop protection and propagation.
A collage of remarks and anecdotes from a historic newspaper column includes a biting exchange about gossip, a postscript begging for money turned back by the postman, a doorbell miscommunication, and a religious meet by Black residents with sharp, humorous retorts. It also narrates a Wag Whig tale about fish balls, a boarding-house dinner joke, a party scene with two admirers, a quirky personal ad, and a crude verse-heavy lament about a suitor’s expectations.
