Mulching Strawberries Cuts Winter Damage and Weeds
Iowa State College extension horticulturist C V Holsinger advises straw mulch on strawberries to prevent heaving and winter kill when snow cover is sparse. Use weed free straw, preferably wheat straw, and avoid horse manure. Leave some mulch after spring growth to protect berries and conserve moisture.

Hog price outlook brightens as hogs tighten
Agricultural economists from Iowa State College say a poor hog to corn ratio is driving early hog liquidation, pushing seasonal price lows into December or January. With reduced hog supplies and better demand, 1940-41 prices are expected to rise significantly over 1939-40.
