Record readers invited to aid alfalfa plant study
The Osceola Development Corp seeks county wide input on potential acres of alfalfa for a dehydrating plant. Farmers should estimate area, contact Dan Armbruster in Osceola, Nebraska, for details on operations and payment, and notify the corp now.

The paper congratulates Coach Don Bartek and the Bulldogs on a 10–7 season and notes strong district foes Shelby and Gresham as state tournament contenders.
