Undulant fever rise tied to livestock handling in Iowa
Dr. Herrick of Iowa State College warns farmers that undulant fever cases rose about 40 percent in Iowa last year with 83 percent among men and boys who handle livestock. He says controlling brucellosis in hogs and cattle could wipe out human cases and urges a state law and a farm wide brucellosis control program.

Two Soybean Varieties Not Suited to Iowa
Iowa State College agronomists report two soybean varieties, Korean and Cypress No. 1, are not well suited for Iowa. In eight Iowa tests over two years Korean yielded lowest, was shortest, had the lowest oil content, and lodged worst, though it matured about three days earlier. Cypress No. 1, a late-maturing selection from Korean, matured about a week later than the Iowa check varieties.

Farmers face two questions this spring will corn stay sound in heat and how will markets move. High moisture corn and wetter crops suggest possible rot in cribs while price forecasts remain uncertain as supply shifts from Canada and LaSalle. Farmers may test moisture with PMA probes and choose to sell after a partial recovery or hold into late summer as conditions evolve.

Fight Weevil With Clover Planting Guide Issued
Hardin County extension director Dick Pulse reports that sweet clover, though high yielding and nitrogen rich, faces weevil damage. Iowa State College entomologists advise chemical insecticides with timely application, though costs may rival seed prices. Early seeding risks, late June sowing feels safer, and thorough sprayer cleaning is urged before use. A separate suit in district court seeks 376.57 for a restaurant sale dispute between Hartkopp and Smuck parties.
