Marriages Rise in Iowa in July and August 1950
Marriages in July and August 1950 reached 5,892, up from 4,469 a year earlier, a rise of 923 possibly linked to the Korean crisis. Early 1950 records show a higher death rate, suggesting the year could post the state's highest death total in over two decades unless deaths decline. Marriages also rose about 6 percent from 1949 during the same period, while births increased in the first eight months.

Iowa Population Declines Cited After 1947 Peak
Preliminary 1950 census figures from St. Paul show Iowa at 2,612,598 residents. Seven counties exceed 50,000 and seven exceed 40,000. Births peaked in 1947, with 1950 births likely ranking second. Marriages, after a 1946 postwar rise, had fallen each year but 1950 data hint at a reversal. A wagon incident injures Harvey Johnson of Elk Horn with minor cuts.
