Local social notes recount visitors and travels in Iowa
A crowded social column lists Mr. and Mrs. V. F. Matthews hosting at Sunday dinner with three Rock Island engineers prospecting for Red Rock Dam. It records visits by Gerald Rysdam and family in Omaha, trips by John Hoeksema and others westward, and a reunion at West Market Park. Several residents depart for Ames, Burlington, and Des Moines, while others relocate or receive medical care. A lengthy note covers a Long Island visitor tracing the Wheaton family history in Pella and memories of 1870s migration, ending with appreciation for Iowa’s beauty.

Number of Milk Cows in Iowa Is Still Declining
Iowa dairy cattle numbers fell from 1,644,000 in 1943 to 1,270,000, an 18 percent drop. Milk per cow rose to a June 1 record, but total output for the first five months of this year lagged by two billion pounds due to fewer cows. Factors include high prices for slaughter stock, high feed costs versus dairy prices, and competition from other farming.
