State bill seeks lower auto taxes to save drivers money
A bill to cut motor vehicle taxes is being prepared by Secretary of State W G Ramgay to reduce auto levies over six years. The plan estimates a 18 percent saving for drivers as valuations shift and rates drop, with weight-based tax after year five and changes not affecting total state revenue.

Rag Doll Method Still Used In Seed Testing
Iowa State College associate professor John B Wentz states the rag doll method remains a surer, low cost way to test 1923 seed corn. It requires careful temperature and moisture control, scalding of materials between uses, and uses 70 to 75 degree conditions for reliability. Home grown seed is urged. Extension Bulletin No 50 offers full instructions.

Water Should Be Heated for Dairy Cows
Carl Weaver of Town State College argues that cows’ milk output depends on water intake, not water temperature. He notes cows use about four pounds of water per pound of milk and that cold or unheated water reduces consumption in winter. Tests on warm versus cold water effects are planned, amid broader supply worries and a riddle about coal and cars.
