Advise Use of Pig Brooders to Up the Profits
County Extension Director H S Storey of Mahaska County urges farmers to use pig brooders to boost profits. Tests by state colleges and the U S Department of Agriculture corroborate saving about 10 percent more pigs per litter, reducing feed waste by avoiding losses at farrowing. Brooders can be home made and plans are available at the extension office in Oskaloosa.

Amsterdam’s Decline Tracks Shifts of Residents and Vacancies
The Amsterdam area saw many movement events this winter and spring with Arie Toom and Gerrit Klyn relocating to farms near Harvey and Sully, Olivier and Terlouw occupying former holdings, and six houses plus a school building now vacant. Old Amsterdam sites, population shifts after last fall’s Toom sales, and the Des Moines River navigation story tied to regional decline amid railroad competition.
