Forestry experts at Iowa State College say farmers use between six million and four hundred ten million dollars worth of lumber yearly and demand is rising. A farm typically uses about 2,000 board feet annually for buildings, with better grades becoming scarce. Principal solution is farm woodlots with rapid growing soft woods, treated fence posts, and shelterbelts to provide long term wood. The extension service plans woodlot expansion on waste land and poorer farm areas to supply farm needs. In parallel, homemakers face iron repairs as electric irons misbehave. tips cover checking plugs, wires, and coils, with advice to consult an electrician if heating elements fail.
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station studies show bees carry loads about half their weight and make hourly trips in a workday. Weighing and counting place ~5,500 bees per pound, implying a swarm could yield six pounds of honey in ordinary seasons and up to twelve pounds in peak conditions. About half of each load is pollen, with the rest nectar or honey.
Mrs. W. L. Foote of Dillon Iowa shows how to make bias tape cheaply at home after home demonstration guidance. From one yard of gingham or percale she makes 25 yards of one half inch tape and 46 yards of one inch, costing about 15 to 20 cents. Three yards of cloth yield 104 yards of one inch tape at 48 cents, versus store prices of 2.75 to 3.60.
Poultry experts at Iowa State College say poultrymen who furnish flocks with a good poultry house will be repaid with a larger number of eggs produced throughout the winter.
To prevent winter flooding and heat stress, a well drained poultry house with southern exposure is advised. Windows should total at least one square foot per 10 square feet of floor, with 344 to 4 square feet of floor space per bird. Overcrowding causes disease. provide nests one per six to eight hens, keep clean. A cement floor is best. other floors covered with straw work, and a self feeder can be built.
