Dan Turner for Governor Iowa primary tax relief ad

A political ad urges votes for Dan W. Turner in the June Iowa primaries, touting a definite program to reduce taxes and government spending. The text accompanies guidance on manure pit fly control using conical traps and tent or cone devices to manage flies and protect fertilizer value.

Buckwheat as a green manure and field improvement

Buckwheat serves as a green manure by providing rapid growth that decays quickly, forms humus, and loosens hard soils. It is used with rye on poor land, with rye growth held by buckwheat until harvest, then plowed under in spring. Used repeatedly, it improves soil readiness for legumes, though buckwheat itself does not add nitrogen.

After the pigs are weaned pasturing and grain plan

After weaning, pigs should go to pasture with a small grain portion. Sows two years old or more that have weaned spring litters and are not bred for fall farrowing may be sustained on good alfalfa or clover pasture without grain for two or three months. Very thin sows and gilts weaning their first litters should be isolated, fed on pasture, and given a liberal grain ration. The thin sows often gain rapidly and can be moved outdoors in a month. Gilts should receive some grain throughout the period between their first two litters.
