Iowa Rainfall Stability Across Five Decades
A Rock Valley Bee survey notes Iowa's rainfall has stayed roughly constant over 50 years, despite land drainage and timber cutting. Davis County reports September rainfall of 22 inches, a record for the period, while Des Moines recalls the 1877 Four Mile Creek flood. The piece also covers junior college development, farm-animal road rights rulings, local civic events, and veterans nurses' reunion remarks.
