Plow Cornstalks to Check Borers
Deep plowing to bury corn stalks is urged to curb the European corn borer spread. Harold Gunderson of Iowa State College extents warns burning is less effective, as 40 to 50 percent of borers escape. Tests show deep, clean plowing destroys 98 to 100 percent of borers in stalks. Community action, with all farmers in a area plowing under stalks, boosts success. Scott County townships have agreed to plow under all stalks this spring.

Feed Cattle Herd Adjustments Emphasized by ISU Expert
Rex Beresford of Iowa State College cautions that feeder cattle supply and demand in 1944 will follow 1943 patterns, driven by weather and feed.
