Iowa State College farm economist Francis Kutish says domestic wool prices likely to advance from recent lows, despite a long period of inactivity in 1952. He cites previous wild swings from 57 cents to 1.10 and back to 58 cents, driven by military stockpiling and later cuts in buying.

Hog Market Outlook Aims For May Recovery And Summer Prices
Iowa State College farm economist Francis A. Kutish says the hog market’s main trouble will clear up by May with no substantial price rise before then. Slaughter runs in Dec-Jan outpaced last year, Feb compared to Jan last year, and meat production stays high. An embargo on Canadian livestock and meat due to foot and mouth disease may lightly affect supplies, though grains are exempt.

Keep Corn Plant pipes Open For Higher Yields
Soil must supply nitrogen phosphate and potash in balance to power corn plant pipelines. Dr. George N. Hoffer notes corn contains up to 1 to 1 percent miles of internal tubes delivering nutrients from roots to leaves and back to kernels. Balanced nutrients prevent clogged joints, stress, and poor ear fill, boosting yield per acre.
