Veterans Slow Return to Iowa Farms
John R. Fitzsimmons of the state labor office says not more than 30 percent of Iowa veterans who left farms have returned. Of about 250 000 Iowa men in service, an estimated 35 percent came from farms and roughly 60 000 discharges have occurred. Farm labor offices placed 475 veterans from January to Sept 30 with August spikes for detasselers and emergency work. If many veterans and others do not return by spring, farm labor will tighten.

Loans progress report shows limited investigations and completions
Fitzsimmons says only 126 loan applications have reached eligibility investigation and 42 loans completed. He notes veterans delaying farm returns by 60 to 90 days to readjust and decide their plans. The data reflects cautious veterans weighing options before committing.
