Coming Back to Town and Farm Life Draws Farmers Back
A late 1904 Wisconsin letter from River discusses weather, crops, and farming notes. It mentions sawn lumber, a hay shed, clover and timothy, oats and wheat, plus berries and fruit. An important farmers meeting at the State Fairgrounds Agricultural College Building on Aug. 20 aims to boost Farmers' Clubs across the state. The letter also expresses a longing to return to Town and contrasts western life with former locales.
