Potaters and policy from Uncle Henry's quota tale
A Marshalltown Times-Republic piece records an elderly resident’s satirical take on a congressional potato law. He complains about a five bushel limit per land, tax of 45 cents per bushel, and penalties for selling outside quotas, warning of broader economic impact. He notes shelling out for cookin’ potatoes and speculates on Gov Henry Wallace’s farming era.

County Budget Drops From 1934 To 1935
The county budget in 1935 was smaller than in 1934 with total expenditures of 279 104.21 dollars in 1935 versus 819 091.64 dollars in 1984. Auditor Paardekooper attributes the drop to the absence of a secondary road levy in 1935 and to gasoline tax revenue being used for that purpose, yielding only about 885 000 dollars annually.
