Harvest Woes Mark Harvey Iowa Area Census
In Harvey Iowa on July 27 harvest is finished with oats near average yield and light quality. Wheat at forty five and oats at seventeen cents will not greatly benefit farmers. Alfalfa is being harvested on Tom Neiswanger’s grounds. Blackberry picking yields fair returns. Wells are going dry amid drought. The dry spell silences birds and lingering natural sounds. Clarence Larue returns to mail duties after vacation. Sam Holdsworth harvests alfalfa while pheasants remain elusive.
