RANDOLPH - ‘’A friend in need is a friend indeed” according to an old adage and for Mr. and Mrs. Phil Ballweber, Randolph farmers, truer words were never spoken.
While Mr. Ballweber was in a hospital at Rochester, Minn. for three weeks and later convalescing at home, his neighbors planted corn, cut alfalfa, and after he came home put up hay on his farm.
On May 30, Alfred Schutt, Vernon Rudebusch, Ervin Haselhorst, Mike McDonald, Eldon Robinson, Harry Gosch planted 11 acres of corn.
Mr. Ballweber had been unable to complete planting of this plot because of the draught. Mrs.
Gosch and Mrs. Schutt served lunch to the men.
The alfalfa was cut June 8, when Vernon Rudebusch, Ben Lienemann, Jack Lienemann, Clarence Wessel came to the farm for this job.
The next day, the corn was cultivated by Clarence Wessel, Vernon Rudebusch, Ben Lienemann, Arnold Lienemann, Duane Lienemann.
The hay was cut, raked and stacked June 13 by Alfred Schutt, Robert McDonald, Ervin Haselhorst, Larry Robinson, Bill Shelton and Marlyn Kruse.
Mr. Ballweber returned home June 11, and is convalescing from surgery. Mrs. Ballweber was in Rochester with him some of the time.
