“Like a Thick Wall”: Blocking Farm Auctions in Iowa.  

Nation magazine reporter Ferner Nuhn witnessed such an auction sale in Iowa and described this practice in March 1933. These efforts saved the livelihood of many South Dakota and Iowa farmers who were devastated by the depression, but they were not enough. Between 1930 and 1935, about 750,000 farms were lost through foreclosure and bankruptcy sales.

February, 2012 -- Ruth's Sister, Emma

We have been given permission to post an article by Professor Scott Emmert of Wisconsin: he has written about Emma Suckow's 1920 anti-war story called "The Soul That Sinneth," which was published in the August 1920 edition of the Midland. She went on to publish "Dissipation" (May 1920) and "True Love" (June 1922) in the Midland. Emma was Ruth Suckow's sister.  In addition, he had a copy of her first story, and we will post it as well on the short story page.  His essay is posted below as "World War I Stories in the Midland."
