Art Hagen,
 
You had a lot of folks believing Rose actually gave you this car for your birthday.

1959: Looking East from the Stokes Farm yard. Shocks of wheat.
 
This was the last year that my folks used a binder and shocked the grain to be threshed by the threshing machine pictured below. As you can tell in the picture, snow came early in 1959 too.
 
That is Ackworth School, in it’s original location too, in the back ground with Margie Hiatt’s barn to the right and slightly down the hill. Beyond the school about 3 miles, but not visible in this picture is Little Prairie Church. To the North East (Left side) we could see the Arnold Zeiler farm located on the SW corner of the Peace Garden.
  
Threshing the wheat from the field above.
I remember this well too. That is Martin Rude’s Threshing machine and tractor being used to run the machine.
I am pretty sure that was Martin’s truck too. From our place I remember well, they went over Albert Rude’s
and Threshed his crop. As I remember it was late October too.

More information on, “Where did the chickens come from that lay the colored eggs”?
 
From Missouri
I heard the chickens that lay the colored eggs did live along the Missouri River but the actual location
was in North Dakota!!!!

Happy Easter!!!

I think the colored eggs came from Norwegian Chickens that the Vikings brought with them from Norway,
the Vikings fed the chickens with various types of colored feed they obtained from the tundra
Witch made their eggs different colors.
Happy Easter
