He also touched on political issues including tax cuts and the Brookhart race, calling for prudent fiscal policy and balanced governance.

Jones County Farm Bureau backs area plan to eradicate tuberculosis
At a directors meeting the Jones county farm bureau backed eradicating tuberculosis in the county. Iowa counties under the area plan total 24 including Jackson and Delaware. About 35 000 cattle would be tested with 6 to 10 percent reactors. If Jones county were tubercular free it could have earned 10 cents per hundredweight on hogs, nearing 10 000 dollars for hog raisers. Government aid pays two thirds of reactor value less 5 percent of herd value. Sentiment for the area plan grows in township meetings.
