Plowing Bee Brings 125 Acres of Corn Harvest Gathered
Farmers near Ervin Wikert and Karl Johnson farms held two large plowing and picking bees. More than 40 men pooled machinery to harvest 125 acres of corn in about four and a half hours at the Wikert site. Dozens of volunteers supplied food and support, with dinner served at the Methodist church parlors. Community aid extended to the Johnson farm as neighbors cut stalks and plowed about 100 acres, aided by many volunteers and donations from local establishments and families. A church chorus rehearsal is announced for Sunday, preparing for the annual Christmas concert.
