Washington reports that prospects for limiting meat and meat animal imports look dim despite a four-member congressional request for the tariff commission to study possible restrictions. Senators Symington, Long, McGovern and Rep Hull argue foreign meat supplies helped lower prices. The Kennedy administration opposes new barriers preferring global trade expansion. Disagreement exists among government and livestock groups on foreign supply impact.

Moisture-Rich Soils Support Large Eastern Iowa Corn Crop
Eastern Iowa farmers can target 16 000 to 18 000 plants per acre for corn with potential yields above 100 bushels per acre and possibly over 130 on Muscatine soils. Cedar Rapids agronomist Merle Hillson cites subsoil moisture of 9.5 to 11.8 inches in Linn Cedar Tipton and Williamsburg counties, with Ames showing only 4.5 to 6.6 inches. He notes planting density depends on moisture and recommends two kernels every 17 14 inches or three every 26 14 inches for 40 inch rows and predicts strong yields if moisture and weather cooperate.
