Week in Washington county notes and political drift
The column reports a quiet election in Washington county with incumbents facing rivals in the state races. Dick Worth wins the Republican nomination for congress, F W Schnoe belen takes the Democratic nod, and local races for Treasurer, Recorder, and Supervisor show contest lines. The piece notes fall activity, renewed schedules, and introduces Jim Jorgensen as the new YMCA Youth Work Secretary from Des Moines.
The Week on the Farm
The county faces a serious fire hazard as dry conditions persist and no moisture is expected for days. Farmers plan to defer plowing until after rain while watching for wheat and soybean timing. A lighthearted note tells of pet lambs reaching market weight and a skunk encounter with Mitzi after the narrator left town.
