From the Starbuck Times, Friday, Nov. 10, 1922. 

Raises Walnuts. It will undoubtedly interest many of our readers to know that Mr. C.L. Reisrud, prominent Blue Mounds farmer, raised about 3 wagon boxes of walnuts this season. Mr. Reisrud has a very fine grove of walnut trees which he keeps in fine condition. Mr. Reisrud is known as one of the best farmers in this section of the county. Although he has good land, his skill in handling the soil largely accounts for the splendid crops he is able to take off every year.

Mrs. Anna Gorder and Mrs. Martin Gorder served at the hospital dining room for the members of the Hospital Auxiliary last Tuesday.

The Hanse and Lee radio station has been a pretty busy place the last few days during the excitement of the election. Everybody is anxious to know “Who’s going to win.”

The large horse tent used by the road crew on the Kensington-Cyrus road blew down Sunday morning during one of the heavy rain showers so it became necessary to take the horses to town where shelter could be gotten.
