Agriculture instructors R W Bretzke and OC L Wright were in New Hartford organizing winter work flags. Others facing snow and mud included A A Burger county agent and Milas Clara M Sutter county home demonstration agent. The Brazil republic is among jurisdictions adopting workmen compensation. Spaniards introduced cocoa to Europe after discovering it in the new world.
