Anxiety Over 1924 Corn Crop Prospects In Locality
The community weighs likely corn yields for 1924 with forecasts split between fair and poor outcomes. The crop lags by about ten days, cool spells and possible early frosts could yield a total failure, while a warm September and late frosts might bring an average crop. Weather in recent days has been unusually cool with August nights near frost. This race with Jack Frost shapes expectations for the territory. Local Boxing Match For Labor Day Sechryvey and McCulloch face off in a four round Labor Day bout at the Myhre barber shop venue, described as a knightly battle that will draw local interest despite headliners. Both fighters are skilled and promise a memorable exhibition in Grachtener.
