That meant the home base of the farm and food processor cooperative Land O’Lakes – the Twin Cities area. In addition, the commitment extended to Eldora and Ames, which share the headquarters offices of United Suppliers, he said. Oelmann added, “Unfortunately we can’t tell each of our individual employees exactly what the impact will be in terms of location and any (continued on page 4) Breakfast and tours of the machine shed And pictures from the Greenbelt Tractorcade on page 2. By Rick Patrie News Editor ELDORA – Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface. And if the surface is rust, you have to scrape the surface and then look. Do that and you may find some wonders of early 1900’s engineering. So say the volunteers at the Hardin County Farm Musem, where the machine shed is filled with things like the potato planter pictured to the right. A modern potato planter surely takes its directions from some satellite overhead. Rows come out straight as a laser. This much, much older one took its cues from a steady team of horses and one quick handed operator. No software involved, everything was very hard ware and they didn’t spare a pound of it. So, if you come out to the Hardin County Farm Museum for one of their late season events coming up September through October, stop at the machine shed and take a look around. Staff can tell you what almost all of it is. And the rest is fun (continued on page 3) This is not an early-era bicycle with a quarter ton tote basket attached. It is a potato planter. The wood bin held the potatoes, and on the tray in front of the rider is a conveyor geared to the drive. The conveyor received the potatoes, which were placed one by one by the operator. They dropped down the shoot and fell into a trench created by the cutting share at the bottom of the unit. The trailing discs then covered the seed potato in the trench. Staff at the farm museum say it’s a fine piece of engineering, though the seat cushion needs a little cushion-work. Wellsburg Fall Fest promises fun and a birthday (A host of other features are planned as part of the Wellsburg autumn community festival – including a celebration of Prohibition, or the lack thereof. But one business and location in particular is commemorating a hundred year milestone.) Brick Bungalow celebrates 100 years By Michaela Kendall Staff Writer WELLSBURG – On Saturday, August 29, the Brick Bungalow will be celebrating its 100th birthday, and the public is invited to help the bungalow bring in its biggest birthday yet. The business, run by Evie Haupt, has been open since 2002, but the bungalow itself is turning 100 years old. In order to celebrate that milestone, there are many fun activities planned for the day. (continued on page 4) Coming to Wellsburg’s Fall Festival will be a “celebration of Prohibition, Bootlegging and the cars of the time: During one of the re-enactor group’s other area productions, they staged the infamous bank robbery in Steamboat Rock shown here.

He gets his own car out maybe three to five times a summer for similar gathering. He would do it more if he could. It is not a concern about dinging up the car, just a lack of time. The Iowa Falls group now numbers 20 members. They aren’t actually eligible for the auto show competition-taking place in Iowa Falls. Members will tell you that along with the artists impulse clearly exhibited in the polished stock, there is often a desire on the part of the car owner to go back a little in time, relive the Glory Days in high school and young adulthood. The world was big and you had all you needed, a car, to see it all. Raska says the contingent on the countywide cruise invite everyone out to come watch along the route and share a wave. Meanwhile, the Scenic City Labor Day Car show and exhibition itself is Monday September 7 this year at the Iowa Falls Alden High School at 1903 Taylor Avenue.

Jobs data for state and county HARDIN COUNTY – Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 3.8 percent in July from 3.7 percent in June. The state’s jobless rate was 4.3 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate remained at 5.3 percent in July. In Hardin County the rates so far this yeara have ranged from 5.4 percent in January to 3.4 in may and 3.6 in June. Breakdowns for counties come out about a month late. Statewide data for August will be released on Friday, September 18, 2015. Local data for August will be posted to the IWD website on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 The number of unemployed Iowans remained at 63,900 in July. The current estimate is 10,300 lower than the year ago level of 74,200. The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,636,500 in July. This figure was 4,000 lower than June, and 4,100 higher than one year ago. Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment Total nonfarm employment advanced by 8,100 jobs in July, raising nonfarm employment to 1,577,400 jobs. The unexpectedly large gain this month was primarily the result of growth in private sectors (+6,100). Both goods-producing and service sectors advanced for the third consecutive month, while government added 2,000 jobs due primarily to hiring at the local level. Of the eleven super sectors, only two pared jobs this month: professional and business services (-2,700) and trade and transportation (-900). to guess about. The potato planter. It is really the essence of simplicity. The horses pull and one operator takes the comfortable seat shown toward the left. The bin is filled with potatoes and the operator need only keep inserting them in a long auger that takes them one at a time for planting, If you look to the bottom you will find the blade which opens the furrow, the shoot through which the potatoes drop one after another after another, the discs which cover the potato. And if this isn’t fascinating enough out at the farm museum you can find an equally heavy duty apparatus created to harvest the potatoes. If it plants something, cultivates something, harvests it or cleans it or preps it for the kitchen, chances are they have several hundred pounds of it out in the collections of old farm Call 939-5051 for all ads and news Hardin County Farmland AUCTION FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 @ 4 PM 228 +/- ACRES * CSR 77.0 Farmland Location Auction Location Union Township 22-86-19 & 27-86-19 South Hardin Rec.

As an ode to the bungalow’s beginnings in 1915, there will be a 1915 Model T Ford on display out front, and two bootlegger re-enactments; one at 2 p.m. and one at 4 p.m. Both are free of charge. The re-enactments are a fun way to show what was going on during the time period when the bungalow was built, and one of those things going on was the Prohibition. The Prohibition began in 1919, a few years after the bungalow was built, and bootlegging soon became a common practice in the area. Aside from the Prohibition and bootlegging era, the bungalow has seen many things in its 100 years. The little house has been home to several families, and even a beauty shop. Nowadays, the bungalow houses a gift shop, which sells everything from newborn to retirement gifts. The Brick Bungalow’s 100th birthday celebration coincides with the Wellsburg Fall Festival, which is also on Saturday. There will be several other events going on around town, including massages, an inflatable slide, a petting zoo, a BBQ cook-off, wine and beer tasting, bingo, several open houses and plenty of food.

Help Calkins tag migrating Monarchs Hardin County Conservation will be hosting the annual Monarch Butterfly Tagging event, at Calkins Nature Area on Tuesday, September 8th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Bring the family out to learn about monarch butterflies and get the opportunity to catch, tag, and release your own monarch to send it on its migration journey. There is NO preregistration for this event, it is open to all ages, and it is free of charge. The monarch butterfly migrates each year to the mountains and forests of Mexico where they evade our northern winters. We tag the butterflies to monitor and study how far they travel, where they start and end their journey, and the question remains how this small creature navigates to the same place every year. Calkins Nature Area is located west of Iowa Falls, on 135th street, south of Highway D20.

He had said that the merger,would phase in with two distinct transitions, and he said the impact on specific job descriptions will depend on how the two companies mesh. Oelmann said at that time some workers might have to make choices about those issues of location and retraining. Back in July he said many industries tied to farming are in a phase characterized by large-scale consolidations similar to the United Suppliers-Land O’ Lakes move. He says this reflects economics starting at the farm and going up the ladder to wholesalers and retailers who work with farmers. United Suppliers, long headquartered in Eldora, has just in recent years been locating administrative staff in offices in Ames, too. The wholesaler cooperative’s roots trace to Eldora when it was organized back to 1963. Approximately 100 staff work here in Eldora now. About four years ago, the Eldora co-op spun off its feeds division to a long time collaborator-firm based in the southeastern United States.

Weekly menu - program Open to all persons 60 years of age or older Letter to the Editor Immigration. Good? To the Editor: Published statistics on the effects of immigration show several important things. Among them are the effects on employment with emphasis on the poor and under-educated. Example There are many young men who may have dropped out of high school to help provide for the rest of their family. They need a job. They are not eligible for the “tech” type jobs with high pay. Out of need they are willing to take a lower pay job. Guess what? Our President gave Congress “The Finger” and, by Executive Privilege, freed a million or more immigrants … to take those low-pay jobs. Why did he do that? Because, by voting time, he will have paved a way for them to vote Democrat. So … he added a million or so Americans to the ‘unemployed’ list and a million or so to the “created jobs” list. What a guy …!! But wait … he didn’t do that all by himself … did he? ‘Course not. He has a devoted Democrat Administration supporting his deeds. Remember being asked, “Are you better off now?” Bill Bruner Eldora News from Wellsburg Library WELLSBURG – A new season of programming kicks off this fall at the library.

But finding those fields and knowing which fields doves are using comes to scouting and putting in the time before opening day. “Scouting is the key,” said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “Walk the prospective areas in the morning and at night; make mental notes about how the doves are coming into the field and leaving the field. Keep in mind where the sun will be at the time of day you will be hunting to identify the best location to set up.” Successfully bagging doves is not easy. In fact, hunting mourning doves would be near the top on the difficulty scale. “They’re fast and agile. There’s a reason the national average if 5-7 shells per dove,” Bogenschutz said. Hunter can improve their shell-todove ratio by being more selective in their shots and having the proper choke in their gun. Doves are a migratory game bird and most of the migration – and hunting – takes place during the first few weeks of the season. This year, the season opener – Sept. 1 – falls on a Tuesday. The dove season coincides with summer-like weather, which is one selling point for those new to hunting. “Dove hunting would be great for novice hunters because the weather is nice, there’s a lot of shooting and you don’t need a lot of equipment – a bucket and a lot of shells,” he said. Each spring, there is a window when dove food plots must be planted for them to be usable for the fall migration and unfortunately this year, spring rains made that difficult in parts of southern Iowa. Some of those areas had winter wheat in case sunflowers couldn’t be planted. Doves like bare ground and prefer open landscapes and larger food plots. If a sunflower plot is not available, try a weed patch or harvested grain field. Hunters looking to avoid the crowds may want to hunt later in the day. Areas that are full of hunters in the morning may be empty in the afternoon. Where there may not be as many doves on the area during the afternoon, Bogenschutz said hunters will likely have plenty of opportunities to big some doves. The Iowa DNR has a list of public wildlife areas and private land enrolled in Iowa Habitat Access Program (IHAP) where dove plots – primarily sunflowers – have been added at www.iowadnr.gov/Hunting/MigratoryGameBirds/MourningDoves. Hunters are reminded that although they do not need to pay the state or federal migratory bird fee, they are required to register with HIP and to have the plug in their gun to be legal. They must also use nontoxic shot on public areas where it is required for all hunting except for deer and wild turkey. The areas are listed on p. 17 of the Iowa hunting regulations (www.iowadnr.gov/ hunting). Practice Safe Hunting – Hunters will be trying to blend into the background so it’s important that they know where each other are at all times, stay within their zone of fire and communicate during the hunt. Late Summer Weather – Daytime temperatures can still be in the 80s and mosquitoes and ticks are still around. Remember to pack bug spray, and if hunting during the afternoon, sunscreen and plenty of water for the hunter and dog. Be prepared to put doves in a cooler. Spent Shells – Toss in a grocery bag or two to pick up any trash including shell casings and leave the area as good as or better than it was found. Shooting Hours and Big Limits – Legal shooting hours for mourning doves is one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. These is a daily bag limit of 15 doves with a possession limit of 45. The season is Sept. 1-Nov. 9. Tigers host AGWSR in gridiron opener LIPPERT GARNERS GOLD- Bethany Lippert of Iowa Falls-Alden/AGWSR garnered the gold medal during Monday’s running of the IF-A Cross Country Invitational at Mayne’s Grove south of Hampton.

(Photo by Kristi Nixon, Mid-America Publishing). by Scott Bierle, Sports Editor ELDORA- A border battle between South Hardin and AGWSR will kickoff the gridiron campaign tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. in Eldora. The host Tigers and Cougars were both playoff qualifiers a year ago and each looks to start the season on a winning note. AGWSR started 1-0 a year ago, beating South Hardin, 19-6 in Ackley. The Cougars registered a second straight nine-win fall while the Tigers finished 4-6. “It will be another AGWSR team that is big and physical. They are not very flashy, but will lineup and punch you in the mouth,” stated South Hardin coach Barry Scott. AGWSR is listed No. 3 in Class A in the pre-season poll released by the Des Moines Register. The Cougars are one of four teams ranked in District 4 of Class A along with No. 1 Gladbrook-Reinbeck, No. 8 Wapsie Valley and No. 10 Denver. South Hardin scrimmaged at Hudson last Friday and Scott said it was a learning experience. “I feel the kids overlooked the game and it was a good wake-up call. We learned a lot; we have to have 11 guys going hard every play on offense and defense.” Scott was pleased with the Tigers’ pre-season. “We had an awesome preseason. We got a lot done. We have the physical ability, but we have to be mentally tough.” Both teams return powerful ground games. For the Tigers, senior Jordan Wilkie was the leading rusher a year ago with 752 yards and had another 206 yards on 18 receptions. Senior Bridger Lawrence rushed for 264 yards and had 101 receiving. The Cougars’ backfield will feature seniors Levi Stockdale and Josh Balvanz along with junior Mason Eilderts. The three rushed for over 2,400 yards last fall led by Stockdale’s 1,437. Stockdale found the end zone 21 times. The Class 2A Tigers will play a second border battle in week two at Grundy Center, another Class A opponent. AGWSR’s home opener in Ackley will be against Hudson Sept. 4. Area games slated for tonight will be BCLUW hosting Green MountainGarwin in Conrad, Iowa Falls-Alden at Hampton-Dumont and Grundy Center at Montezuma. BCLUW will look to halt a seven-game losing skid against the neighboring Wolverines. The Comets were a 42-14 winner over GM-G to open last fall under then first-year head coach Anthony Jahr. BCLUW followed that by beating East Marshall and then lost the next seven Fridays. Cadets’ Lippert 1st at IF-A Invitational HAMPTON- A sweep of first and second by Bethany Lippert and Aubrie Fisher highlighted the host Cadets’ showing at the Iowa FallsAlden Cross Country Invitational at Mayne’s Grove Monday.

Fisher, a freshman, scored the silver at 21.29. Humboldt behind five runners in the top 10 was a run-away winner in the team race, tallying 29 points.
