Little People Weave Romance Across the Atlantic
A whimsical Associated Press story from New York recounts how Irish folklore guides a long distance romance. In 1945 Frank Hagostak mailed a bottle from a North Atlantic voyage, its message leading Breda O Sullivan to Dingle Bay where she answered his call. The tale weaves leprechauns and fairies with a real cross Atlantic courtship as Hagostak travels to Ireland to meet Breda after seven years.

Fall Fertilization Boosts Cattle Pasture Yields
The Middle West Soil Improvement Committee urges fall fertilization of pastures to extend grazing and reduce feed costs. Steps include top-dressing old legume pastures, enriching meadows to be plowed for corn, and sowing winter rye and wheat. Benefits include better cover, more organic matter, higher soil water capacity, and erosion control. A 1-1-1 fertilizer ratio such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 is recommended for thicker stands.
