Fruit box rules spark appeal from Iowa berry growers
Iowa fruit growers urge W B Barney to allow continued use of old short measure berry boxes until they run out. The state dairy and food commissioner says immunity has expired and only full quart pint and half pint boxes may be used after Sept 3. Grocers are advised to prepare for the weights and measure law, which requires net weights on packages and exact bottle capacities.

Lead ore and zinc absence mark Iowa in 1913
The 1913 Iowa lead output was small with shallow shafts and no zinc concentrates shipped that year. In 1912 lead came from galena in small lots, while the Dubuque district shipped 83 tons of concentrates in 1918, valued around $4,150 with 66 tons metal content. Goosehorn Mining Co operated a 190 foot shaft and a concentrating plant in 1913, but produced concentrates were not sold.
