Manure pit gases kill hogs. Clay Center producer narrowly escapes
Mark Case, 22, pumped out a six inch from top manure pit in a modified open front swine building. Five factors including a near full pit and still air created hydrogen sulfide gas that killed 67 hogs and nearly claimed his life. Experts advise electric exhaust fans, frequent pit pumping, and strict no-entry rules without breathing apparatus.

State Tree Census Underway in Kansas Forest Survey
October marks the start of a sweeping tree census across Kansas counties led by Kansas State University foresters. The inventory will measure timber volume, growth and death rates, and future supply. A computer will compile data into a statewide report guiding landowners, wood users, bankers, and industry planners. The 1964 inventory helped expand sawmills and walnut processing, with optimism of growth from the new survey.
