Textile researchers unveil crease resistant and vat dyed cottons shaping a new dress in light, washable suits. Opal Roberson notes high quality tailoring with padded peplums, varied sleeves, and bold colors, while care labels urge permanent finishes and professional cleaning.
Agricultural extension agronomist Ralph Krenzin notes crops must wilt to 65 to 70 percent moisture before ensiling for proper fermentation and storage. He advises using preservatives like corn or molasses, packing tight to expel air, and prefers upright or pit silos with finer chopping for better preservation.
Hoffmann advises timing herbicide spray just before color appears for best thistle control. Repeated cultivation reduces effectiveness and leaves roots capable of regrowing, so early surface spray is crucial. If not killed first, respray when growth hits eight inches or by September 1.
Agricultural colleges advise cutting hay by mid June to maximize nutrients and moisture. Grass silage preserves green feed for winter milk and meat, lowering costs and extending pasture season as more farmers adopt silage with higher participation among leading producers.
Farmers report rising use of trench silos for grass and corn silage in 1951. In Ame county 25 new yerich silos and a dozen upright silos were erected, with both silage types placed in each silo depending on farm needs. The state’s oldest trench silo is just three years old.
The Iowa agricultural outlook is mixed with long term gains in dairy and hog markets while beef profits face pressure as cattle slaughter rises. Economist Francis Kutish cites defense spending and strong consumer demand boosting food profits, but warns cattle producers to brace for lower herd values and higher financing risk. Dairy profits should improve due to steady demand and population-driven milk production limits. Lamb and wool face a slower road to recovery, with sheep numbers rising only modestly and not returning to 1942 highs unless times worsen.
