Iowa News Roundup Highlights State Building Plans and Farm Shifts
Plans for a new fireproof hall of botany and geology at the State University of Iowa move forward with state education board approval sought for the next legislature. The project may use the present site west of the law building, with the first wing of a $250,000 library building to follow. Iowa farm notes report a rural shift as census data show a back-to-the-farm trend with 21 of 99 counties gaining farm population, and onion field prospects suggest substantial commercial potential if managed by experts.

State Canneries Use Flynn Farm Tomatoes for Inmates
Des Moines reports the state board of control found a way to beat high tomato costs by using the Flynn farm west of Des Moines to can tomatoes for state institutions. Honor convicts from Fort Madison Prison labored on four acres, yielding about 100 bushels per acre, enough to produce at least 200 dozen gallon cans. Purchasing attempts by outside plants offered low pay. the state aims to keep prices stable and avoid added delivery costs.
