Farmers urged to stay on the land amid hard times
An editorial plea encourages farm families to persevere rather than abandon farms as reconstruction era hardships bite. It argues young renters and bankers alike should support steady farming, noting grain and livestock shortages nationwide and predicting a healthier outlook next year with the country’s recovery. It salutes farmer and bank resilience and urges patience for a return to normalcy. It also reports a local wedding: Bertha Peterson and Bruce Reed wed at Armstrong, with reception and future plans in North Dakota.
