Forest Research Aids Iowa Wood Workers and Mills
Iowa's 1200 small sawmills and 500 wood using industries in over 85 towns benefit from the forest research program begun last year. Led by G Champagne of the Ames Forest Research Center, studies identify wood kind, size and quality for furniture, boxes, crates, toys and other wood products. The program aims to steer wood to profitable uses, improve timberland owner income and plan harvests to sustain supply, comparing forests to an orchard where large trees are harvested ripe and smaller ones replanted for future crops. It projects an annual harvest capable of producing fence material, fuel wood and specialty lumber for a total gross value of over 14 million dollars in 1945, while highlighting scenic and soil benefits.

Farm price outlook in 1947 cautious but stable
Iowa State College economist Francis Kutish says farm prices will likely ease in 1947 but not suffer a sharp postwar drop like 1920 21. He cites higher demand for durable goods, price supports through 1948, a balanced federal budget, and growing production, with consumer spending shifting to manufactured goods and a modest fall in farm product demand.
