Years ago -- and it's probably been at least 15 years ago, my Mom sent me this article of my Uncle August (her brother) from the local newspaper for some of the smaller towns in ND - the Emmons County record. Bob and I have a little mail bin in our kitchen where we keep stuff - local menus, coupons...etc. I have had this picture in that little mail bin for years and every time I sort through the items to clean it out, I find this picture and it makes me smile. It's getting real old and yellowed now and kind of frail. Thanks to scanners, I'm able to capture this picture and, better yet - share it for everyone to see. For anyone that knew Sybella and Auggie, this will make you smile :) And, it really is one news worthy head of cabbage!
Just in case the caption isn't legible - here is what it reads:
"August Ternes of Linton grew some giant size cabbage in his garden. He brought a 20 pound head to this sister Sybella Rahrich who lives in Bismarck. She says she made twenty some quarts of sauerkraut from the head."
