Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 February 1912 — Public Sale Season About Over With for 1912. [ARTICLE]

Public Sale Season About Over With for 1912.

The public sale season will practically close for this year by Feb. 25. There has not been as many sales this year as usual, although more than anticipated earlier in the season. There is practically no emigrtaion from Jasper county this year, while heretofore there has been many families leaving every spring for the northwest. The crop failures in many localities of the northwest has given that section a temporary backset, and the fact that crops in our own county were about as good as could be- found anywhere in the entire country has caused in our farmers being satisfied to remain here.
