A visit south of Pella notes a dry rolling countryside with thin pastures and light green oats, while farther across the river near Knoxville road drainage shows lake water but no ditch flow. At J Lem Durham’s Harvey road farm oats are tall, rye heads appear, and corn looks ready for silking, contrasting with poorer nearby fields.

Durham tightens a wire fence using a hedge post braced with a hollow steel pipe. He notes hedge posts are scarce as hedges vanish for wire fences due to road work and mud holes. The piece discusses seedling Osage orange and locust for fence posts, local rain variability, and a drug store poison scare amid a rodent campaign.

A weeder machine broke corn, clover and alfalfa hints, and a story of Mrs Dykstra near a longtime local figure. Weather fronts bring dust and heavy rain as Harvey trip continues.
