Vander Molen Polled Herefords Highlight Iowa Farm Visit
Gerrit Vander Molen and son Donald hosted visitors at the northeast Pella farm in the Peoria neighborhood on Thursday June 24. The herd includes 13 cows with calves and a yearling bull, led by the sire Gold Major the 3rd, all registered from Gold Mine and Domino strains. Vander Molen markets breeding stock and notes rising demand for hornless Polled Herefords. The 180 acre farm features 65 acres of corn, 35 of oats, 10 of alfalfa, 20 of clover, and 36 acres of permanent pasture with Buckley Creek woodland. He homes hay in a 36 by 42 foot shed, plans fall painting, and maintains two concrete-floored hog lots for sanitation and manure value. His wife Marie Roose keeps a well-equipped home, while sons Marvin and Donald contribute on the farm. Marvin is in the U.S. Air Force with service through 1955 and Donald recently completed Sully High School.

Should Clean and Spray Bins Before Storing Grain
Grain bins are being emptied and readied for a new crop. While empty, address the insect problem. A large share of insect trouble stems from not cleaning and spraying bins before new grain is stored, according to an expert.
Entomologist Advises Cleaning Grain Bins To Prevent Infestation
Earle Raun, extension entomologist, notes that cornborers may hide in corners or beneath bins and threaten the new crop. He recommends thorough bin cleaning using a vacuum for best results, or sweeping with a broom. Interior spraying with DDT or methoxy chlor is advised, with emphasis on the ceiling areas.
