A truck from Seegers trucking company of Denver, Iowa, is unloading corn. At the Marshall Canning Co. after 9 mechanical pickers picked all but 2 acres done by hand. The company had 361 workers working in 2 shifts for the corn crop. This was the 1st year that the husks were hauled away quickly. Much to the relief of patients and staff in the hospital who, [in before air conditioning days, relied on open windows and fans for comfort.
