Iowa Humor and Fact Bumper from Town Falls Page
A collage of quips and light satire appears alongside bold regional data. The item mocks political advice, census guilt, and social manners while touting Iowa’s 1929 agricultural strength including corn, hogs, and farm value, with extended notes on production leadership and farm statistics.
Ear ticks in cattle and beaver skin timing
The passage discusses managing ear ticks in cattle and the timing for taking beaver skins. It notes scraping and treating ticks with pine tar and seed oil, keeping animals away from certain areas, and that ticks cause wounds and reduced vitality. Beaver skins should be harvested mid winter for prime fur, removal done with a sharp knife to avoid tearing.
