How to Sign Corn Hog Contracts for Farmers
Farmers planning corn hog contracts can speed signing by preparing figures from the past two years hog production. County agent Walter L Brown from Iowa State college Extension Service recommends four sheets per season to record litters and pig totals and division of sale, feeder, breeding, and losses. Start with 1938 fall litters and work backward through 1933 and earlier.

Rules on Sealing Cribs Clarify Corn Storage Standards
New rulings from W C Bradley define crib terms for sealing loans. A floored crib must have a solid wood floor six inches above ground or allow ground rest with an 18 inch deduction. Cribbed walls may be wire or slat up to 16 feet wide with ventilators ensuring no corn is more than 8 feet from air access. Tight cover means a solid weatherproof roof securely attached and protected from entry. Floor interpretation does not waive flooring requirements. Iowa law: sealers inspect corn every thirty days.

Built To Burn It Rural Fire Neglect
Rural communities lack fire protection due to cost concerns though a central, well-staffed department would save lives and property. Farm fire losses are a national disgrace, with crops and livestock amounting to millions going up in smoke.
Rural Fire Prevention Sets National Example
Rural communities face higher fire risk due to distant departments and farm buildings prone to burning. Wisconsin and other states show how proactive prevention with trained marshals, modern equipment, and strong departments saves lives and property, lowers taxes and insurance, and should be emulated nationwide.
