Wild geese exhibit charms at Hardin county fair
On the Rainsbarger farm near Steamboat Rock in Clay township a flock of nearly seventy fat wild geese, raised from clipped wings and eggs, draws attention at the Hardin county fair. The birds resemble wild stock in color and bills yet are tame enough to be handled by their owners. The exhibit has earned the farm a regional reputation as a wild goose breeding operation.
