The Wool Growers' association will issue loans for wool at 18 cents per pound with no red tape.

Farm Bureau asks for more funds for rural electrification
Jones County Farm Bureau in regular meeting calls on Senators Herring and Gillette and Representative Jacobsen to press for increased Rural Electrification Administration funding. They note existing forty million dollar appropriation will not cover Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative needs in Jones, Jackson, Dubuque and Delaware counties. Two hundred fifty thousand dollars is needed now with another one hundred fifty thousand by fall. The letter argues the project supports seven hundred farms and will be repaid, urging continued funding to expand service to eligible farmers.
