Goofy Weather Strikes Iowa With Wet June and Cold Spells
Iowa experiences a spine chilling June with record cold in Des Moines and widespread rain and overcast skies. Outbreaks of continental polar air from Canada over the Ohio valley and Lakes region cool the surface while warm moist air from the Gulf fuels precipitation. Des Moines averages around 45 degrees in the first two days of June, with the coldest June days on record in Iowa. The unsettled pattern has delayed planting plans and raised household coal use as wind remained high and temperatures stayed below normal.

Horses Endure On Iowa Farms Despite Gas Buggies and Tractors
Cecil F. Rooks of the Iowa Horse and Mule Breeders Association says gas powered farm gear won’t replace horses. Demand will shift from heavy work horses to light mounts for recreation and farming uses like roundups and mud work. He notes postwar need, renewed saddle horse interest for veterans, and historic prices for top sires like Farcour, while rail horse stocks may rise with future breeding.
