Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 84, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 January 1915 — Returns to Jasper County for Keeps. [ARTICLE]

Returns to Jasper County for Keeps.

Nelson Hough and son, Warnie, returned .Sunday from near Jamestown, N, D., where they have been living for the past three or four years. The rest of the family returned some time ago. They have come back here to stay, having got all the experience with that section of North Dakota that they care about. There has been very little snow there this winter, not as much as we have here at the present time, and the coldest it has been was on Christmas day, when it got down to 32 degrees below zero. My. Hough says, however, that he does not mind the low temperature there, that it does not affect one as much as the cold did here Monday. They raised very little there last year. Up to July Ist they had the finest prospect ever, but after that there was too much rain and the black rust struck the wheat. It only yielded six to seven bushels per acre, while the quality was ly poor. Thousands of acres was never cut or threshed at all.
