Livestock Marketing Surveyed in Hardin County
L B Mann of the federal farm board and County Agent Olson surveyed Hardin County livestock and cooperative agencies on June 17 and 18. Twelve agencies shipped 1,169 hog cars and 226 cattle cars last year, with about half of livestock handled cooperatively. A marketing plan approved by the federal farm board drew 99 percent of Hubbard attendees. Iowa dominates hog slaughter under federal supervision, and Cedar Rapids will host regional concentration points to bid and sort hogs by grade. Potatoes pests include Colorado beetle and leaf hopper. spraying and Bordo mix fight blight and preserve green leaves. The Iowa Club of Seattle plans a July 13 picnic in Woodland Park for Iowa families. Eldora Enterprises report expansions in bakery, laundry, and Decker novelty. A pop factory is suggested to meet rising local demand.
