Ten Percent Boost In Iowa Bee Colonies
Iowa beekeepers plan a ten percent rise in colonies during 1947 to aid legume seed production. Floyd Paddock of Town State College notes goals align with seed targets, with demonstrations showing bees as legume pollinators. Tests from 1845 indicate four strong colonies per acre are needed for red clover seed, while 1946 saw up to fifty percent seed loss due to harvesting inefficiencies and weather.

Turkey Raisers Face Competition In 1947 Season
Turkey raisers face stout competition in 1947 says Francis Kutish Iowa State College farm economist with storage holdings reaching new highs. The holdovers may depress early turkey prices while late birds contend with beef and pork. USDA has stepped in to aid prices for toms of the 1946 crop offering about 27.7 cents per pound nationally about 25 cents in Iowa. The program runs through June 30, and storage birds must be offered for sale by March 31 to qualify.
