Keep Dairy Cows Out of Cornstalks Warns Iowa Dairyman
Robert Fincham, extension dairyman at Iowa State College, warns that cornstalk fields harm high producing dairy cows. Cows graze poorly, milk and butterfat drop, and udder injuries from sharp stalk stubble are common. If DDT-sprayed corn is present, milk may be rejected. He favors using stalks for dry cows and heifers when conditions are cold.

Towans Not Downcast by 1949 Income Drop
Iowa residents need not fear lower totals says Bernard Nowack chief statistician of the Town Development Commission. He notes a 18 or 14 percent decline from 1948 but points to 1948 as an exceptionally high year due to bumper farm income and stock sales from 1947.
