Palmer to Visit Iowa Counties in Governor Run Outreach
Representative Ernest Palmer Jr of Fort Madison will visit southeast and northwest Iowa in the first two phases of a statewide survey trip to assess his potential as a Republican governor candidate. Over the next three months he plans to meet with Republicans in about six counties per week, having already covered sixteen counties. Palmer, 38, has three Iowa House terms and six years as Republican County Chairman, and notes there has not been a governor from his district since 1882. He supported Taft at the Chicago convention and backed Dewey at the state gathering ten days later.

Plant breeders aim for an ideal oat variety resistant to crown and stem rusts and diseases like Septoria Blight. They seek high yields with uniform height and stiff straw, while maintaining forage value. Since 1927 breeding shifted to hybridization, creating Victoria and Clinton lines, with ongoing adaptation to evolving rust races and field performance.
