Surprising soybean demand lifts prices outlook
Iowa State University extension economist Bob Wisner reports stronger than expected soybean use in 1968-69 with domestic crush and exports up about 19 percent from a year earlier. He notes tight oilseed supplies, rising oil and meal demand, and forecasts a gradual price rise into mid winter with a potential 14 to 18 cent increase over the loan rate.

Ban on DDT use won't affect Iowa much
Iowa State University entomologist Harold "Tiny" Gunderson says USDA's DDT ban will have limited impact in Iowa. He notes that houseflies developed DDT resistance decades ago and alternatives may be pricier with shorter efficacy, requiring more frequent applications. He emphasizes DDT's persistence risks and potential unseen effects but sees no imminent Iowa trouble.

Cockroach species identified before treatment urged
Iowa State University entomologist Harold Gunderson advises identifying cockroach species before using insecticides. He notes four species in homes, with the American roach largest and reddish brown, the Oriental roach black with winged males and wingless females, the brown banded and German roaches about one inch long. German roaches show resistance to many insecticides, and older chemicals can be highly toxic. Identifying the pest first avoids unsuitable or hazardous treatments. An unrelated stat states about 900 people have died from earthquakes in the last century.
