Northwestern Illinois Agriculture In the 60s
Leo J. Todd of Chadwick announced his candidacy for Sheriff of Carroll County on the Democratic ticket at the April primary. A 33 year old U.S. Air Force veteran, he lives with his wife and five children, leads American Legion Post No. 739, and is active in St. Mary's Church. The piece also features a Byron Hutchins column on rapid 1960s agricultural changes, from horse to tractor to electric power, and the shifting farmer population, urging adaptation and cooperation.
