To my way of thinking, there are three seasons – baseball, the overlay of hockey and college basketball, and the brief, grim time in late fall when the first has ended and the second hasn’t really gotten going yet.
Hello everyone. We had a very interesting Sunday afternoon with some close calls on the weather. There were at least four different storm cells that went through Clay County. No damage in our area, thank God. I was praying hard for every one’s safety. Prayers to the ones that were affected by the storms. It is that time of year for unpredictable weather.
By Ryan McGeeney U of A System Division of Agriculture LITTLE ROCK — The Russian invasion of Ukraine is causing “gut-wrenching” volatility in grain markets and pushing already high prices for fertilizer and diesel even higher, economists with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture said this week. Much of the world, including the United States, is imposing economic sanctions against Russia, including a halt of exports to Russia and the freezing of Russian assets in banks around the world.

Everybody and his neighbors came to Corning Wednesday in holiday attire and despite the heat and dust the large crowds thronged the streets, of business houses and the picnlc ground near the schoolhouse.

Just as we are finally seeing Covid cases recede, the flu, specifically Type A Flu has begun to impact our community. Last year when we were wearing masks during the pandemic, flu cases in our state were much lower than in previous years. A stomach bug also seems to be circling town. My late grandpa, Bob Harpole, who survived the Depression, would often state that perhaps someone had the epizootic when they exhibited cold or flu symptoms. The epizootic or “epizooty” as old timers would call it, is in fact a term for a disease temporarily widespread in an animal population. Back in 1872, a mysterious illness plagued horses in approximately 33 states, and it was called, “the epizootic”. Soon people were using it to refer to human illness. It was a folk word passed down through families. The epizootic was disastrous at the time because transportation and farming relied on horse power. People at that time saw a slowdown in their supply chain as well because of it. We can relate to that. This week I’ve received a few articles from the Extension Service concerning Avian Bird Flu and it dawned on me that they are in fact concerned about a global epizootic of the bird flu.
