The shift drew mixed reactions from urban riders to rural families, with notable support from golf and Little League communities and concerns about farm operations and safety.

Neighborhood Notes and Farming Updates in Wapello
Meyer. Montie, Mark and Mel Odie of Wapello were Sunday afternoon and supper guests in our home. Mrs Everseymer is a niece of mine. The farmers are getting along real good in our neighborhood. There are a few who still have plowing to do. Some oats are coming up. We were quite thankful for those good rains. The ladies gardens are coming along real well. Everybody is real busy and news is rather hard to get. To conserve food nutrients during cooking keep the lid tight during cooking. A lid that hits tightly prevents steam from escaping and permits cooking with a minimum of water.
