Myron Johnson Farm Sales Produce 1 1/2 Inches Rain - Try Again Saturday

To a few million movie fans there is no doubt who "the Rainmaker" is. He's Burt Lancaster, who stars with Kathryn Hepburn, in a movie by that name.

But to a few hundred Decatur County farmers, the Rainmaker is Myron Johnson, the 32 year old Kanona farmer who is giving up the soil for the life of a telephone company officer.

Johnson who has moved with his family to Lenora where he will be plant superintendent for the Rural Telephone Company, planned a public sale on his farm for April 22.

Sheriff Vic Morton also had a few items that he was going to sell at Johnson's sale.

But the big storm of late March cancelled that sale date, and Johnson, Morton and auctioneers Jesse and Pete Jones decided to try again on April 8.

That date was also rained out, and the sale was rescheduled for April 22.

This time the sale got underway and the auctioneers sold the miscellaneous goods and had started the bidding for machinery when old Jupe Pluvious did it again.

The day produced the biggest rain - excluding the slushy half-rain, half-snow days - in the county since last August 2.

Johnson, Morton and the Jones brothers are making their fourth attempt Saturday. The place is Kanona, and Myron still has some machinery and Vic all his goods - including welding equipment and an air compressor - for sale.

If it rains again, Decatur farmers may start a collection to have the Johnson’s return to the county to hold twice- monthly sales. Three sales have produced 1 1/2 inches of moisture. Who needs cloud-seeders anyway?

Note: Myron & Metta were living on "The Old Home Place", previously farmed by his father Oscar and mother Dora; and before that by his grandfather William & Nancy Landau. His older brother Herold was then farming nearby "Oscars Home Place".
