East Kansas, DeSoto | Remember much of this all too well being born in 1922. Kind of interesting the Model T gas tank under the seat and when a little low on fuel you came to a hill you had to turn around and back up. Model A moved the tank up under the windshield, others developed a vacuum tank system. Corn bread and beans common for food. Rabbits and squirrels a major food source for many. When radios came they came from miles away to listen at our country store. When REA came they contracted each hole dug by hand by our place 25 cents each and you lucked out if you did not have clay and rocks in your turn of a hole. Telephone was a major invention. Barnstorming airplanes were quite an attraction in the early days. Plowing with team and walking plow an acre a day you were BTO with 40 acres of corn. Railroads scattered us far and wide.
