Drouth Will Not Endanger Nation's Food Supply
An official study by AAA special investigators and the United States Department of Agriculture finds the drouth not endangering the food supply.

Cattle disposals remove low grade stock but help reduce a large surplus. wheat and cattle remain abundant despite drought, with limited compensating effects.

New Barrier Method Fights Chinch Bugs
A Madison County Iowa agent J A Benson with US Department of Agriculture official Mr Black describes a new chinch bug barrier using five inch wide building paper soaked in creosote. The paper is placed in a shallow furrow to repel bugs and deliver creosote slowly, reducing labor and chemical needs. One roll covers eighty rods and weekly re-oiling is enough, depending on weather. Farmers report this method is economical, efficient and easier than the old approach.
