Locating a Pump in a Pumphouse or Pit at Wells
Erwin Johnson of Iowa State College explains deciding pump location, recommends insulated heated pumphouses or well pits to prevent freezing. Pit design should exclude surface water, include a drain tile, and mount the pump on a concrete platform with a sealed casing. Pumphouses need good drainage and ventilation, insulation, and optional thermostatic electric heaters.

Advisors urge plugging for good melon buys in Iowa
Ed Cott, ex extension horticulturist at Iowa State College, says there will be a strong supply of home grown watermelons across Iowa this year with fruit arriving from South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida or Texas. He recommends cutting or plugging melons for inspection to avoid green fruit and notes that seeing the melon is the best guide. After shipping, thumping or scrapping the skin may not help. Buy a size that fits needs, as size does not reflect quality.
