Northwest of Durham: Summer has arrived
Durham correspondent
It seems like summertime truly has arrived here. The last few days have been close to the 90s and above. After a week of little rain, the farmers have been able to cut hay and alfalfa, plant milo, and there has been some wheat cut on Saturday. I'm sure everyone else will be harvesting this coming week. Many farmers hardly know which job to do first since we had all the rains and everyone got behind with work.
A large crowd gathered at the Cottonwood Grove School to wish Ransom and Lillian Wiebe a happy fiftieth anniversary. Congratulations! Their children Frank and Karen Unruh, and Russell and Jane Koehn both from California, Justin and Rebecca Wiebe and family from Bloomfield, Iowa, Justin and Sheri Wiebe and family, and most of the grandchildren, some who are married from California, were in attendance and hosted the event.
