Emmet county Farm Bureau plans June picnic and speaker
Emmet county Farm Bureau directors approved a June Farm Picnic with Henry C. Wallace of Wallaces' Farmer as principal speaker. Plans to make it a family day are underway. Seed corn reports show mixed viability and losses tied to late gathering. A county apiary demonstration will be held at J Doolittle's home under B W Atkins of the USDA. Bees are not yet a major industry, though many nectar flowers yield abundant honey.

Fireh, potato expert from the Iowa State College extension, outlines rules for choosing seed potatoes. Vitality, shape, and origin from a good crop indicate seed quality, while scabby or poorly shaped tubers signal poor seed. Good ground and strong seed help resist tough soil conditions and ensure a healthy fall crop.
