Tree mover aids Cedar Rapids park cleanup and tree removal
In Cedar Rapids the park department uses a tree mover mounted on a truck to pull up and load trees for removal. After a windstorm it cleaned up nine fallen trees in seven hours, a task the crews estimated would take five days with manual labor. The mover can handle large trees, potentially up to one ton, and features a brace and rear rocker device to secure loads.

African Game Is Dying for Peanut Plantations
London reports British government hunters in Africa are killing thousands of zebra, gem and springbok to clear 3,210,000 acres for peanut plantations. Carcasses rot as the move aims to ease Britain's fat shortage. Frank Samuel of United Africa Co. says game will disperse after area is deemed unhealthy. Food Minister Strachey calls it a war operation against formidable enemies. The plan includes 107 mechanized ranches of about 30,000 acres each, largely on the veldt.
