William Reid, who lives west of the Martin place, has farmed the ground for the last two years on grain share rent. He has 40 acres~ of corn and harvested 11 acres of i Clinton oats which yielded around 60 bushels to the acre, Alfalfa or clover were seeded on the oats ground. Mr. Martin has l0 head of young cattle but did not raise any hogs this year. He has a lime truck, corn picker and hay baler which he has operated for three years ' About 25,000 bales are turned out each year by his custom baler. , A chicken house and garage were~ built in 1929, a cattle shed built on the barn in 1938, the house mod- ernized in 1941 and a machine shed built in 1948. The land has been limed and relimed. Mr. Martin devotes some of his time to two other farms in that neighborhood which he owns. His son Wayne operates the former Walter Paul farm, west of the home place, which was bought of Walter Strong several years ago. Marvin Eberhardt farms the Jensen Estate farm of 160 acres, a mile north and a little west of the Linn Grove church It was bought a year ago this fall. Wayne and Marvin each have about 240 spring pigs. Wayne's are a Spotted-Hamp cross A Hamp- shire boar was used several ),ears ago but a Spotted Poland boar has been used for the last two years Marvin's pigs are mixed, as hei bought sows when he moved on the place last spring Some of his hogs i have already gone to market as~ they were farrowed in May while l Wayne's were farrowed in June i Wayne has picked some of his'~ corn which seems to be going about 60 bushels to the acre. The hogs have been turned into one field A pressure water system and a bath room have been installed at the house on the farm operated by Wayne Mrs. Martin was Gladys Strother whose home was on the John Strother farm just west of the church. The Martins have four children. Wayne lives west of them. He has two children Paul, 4, and Shirley, a year and a half old. Sgt. Charles Martin, who has served with an engineer construction bat- talion in Korea. is on his way home. Ruth is Mrs. Bernard Switzer of Cedar Rapids The Switzers have two daughters, Bonnie 4, and Becky 2 The youngest is Margaret, at home, who is a freshman at Mar- telle high school LOCAL POST OFFICE Before rural mail delivery was started in 1902 the Martin house served as an unofficial post office for Linn Grove families during the time that Mary Elizabeth Johnston lived there. The rr.ail for a dozen families living in that area was placed in a small box in the entry- way to the house Each family picked up their mail there. When- ever any of them went to Mt. Ver- non they would bring mail back for all the families and place it in this box. CENTRAL OFFICE When the first telephone line was built to Linn Grove about 1905 Miss Johnston also had a small central office in her home. The first line was built from Lisbon and went as far north as the Jacob Kissling farm three miles north of the Linn Grove church. There were so many telephones on the line that it was necsssary to have a central office at Linn Grove. The Martin house was used for some church services between 1849 and 1854 before the Linn Grove church was built. TEST SEEDS EARLY The Iowa State College Seed Test- ing Laboratory is always rushed just before planting time. You'll be wise to have your carp seed tested early this season. says Mrs. Raymond Strain of Lorimor Whatever you're serving---whether meat or fish, cookies or cake, vegetables or soup---the matchless flavor of Butter adds appetite-appeal to any meal. Yes, Taste tells us there's nothing like Butter. And Science tells us why--because each pound contains the golden goodness from ten quarts of milk. Rich in Vitamin A and energy-building ele- ments, Butter is one basic food your family deserves. Serve it at every meal. Use it gener- ously in cooking. In flavor-value and health value, it's your best buy. CROQUETTES 2 cups meat or chicken pound butter 6 tablespoons flour 1 quart milk 1 egg, well beaten 2 cups bread crumbs Cut cooked meat or chicken in small pieces. Make a thick white sauce with butter, flour and milk. While it's still hot, stir in meat, salt to taste, and set to thicken (several hours). Shape int o croquettes and roll in flour, then in beaten egg and last in bread c~mbs. Fry in deep fat until golden brown. Mrs. Raymond Strain Lorimor, Iowa To make croquettes that will delight your family, try Mrs. Strain's recipe, printed at left. When asked about the popu- larity of her recipe, for which she has many requests, Mrs. Strain gave credit to "choice ingredients, especially butter."
