May 31, 1920: T.A. helscher reports the finest prospects for potatoes at his place that he has ever had.
Sept. 20, 1920: G.G. Harrell bought of T.A. Helscher, seventy two head of stock hogs last week that were a bunch of the choicest lot of stock hogs to be found. Mr. Helscher was starting out in the right direction in his hog business, but the failure of his corn crop that was destroyed by the drought added quite a different feature to his hog business and conclusion was the the best way out was to sell out and res in the hog business until such a time as circumstances presents itself. He will try again as the old rule we once read -- if at first you don't succeed try try again.
