Officials of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation announced a state wide women's quartet contest to be held during the January state convention. The event aims to showcase vocal groups from Iowa farms and highlight rural community talent.
For years the Iowa federation has held a men s quartet contest during the annual meeting. Officials note that women in several counties have formed quartets and demanded a separate contest. Rules and regulations will follow those used for the men s event.
The article notes a farm women's contest with three songs including Farm Bureau Spirit and Whispering Hope. County quartets may advance to the state contest, with state winners possibly going to the national event in December 1932 in Chicago. A rural orchestra contest will also be held during the annual American Farm Bureau Federation meeting.
Wayne Dinsmore argues world wheat supply and demand drive livestock feed prices and that reduced use of horses and mules spurred greater wheat production. He predicts continued overproduction and low prices for years unless droughts wars or major shifts alter farming, with western wheat lands unlikely to revert to grass or switch to feed crops easily.
The article argues sufficient influence on minds to spur price rises but no fall in grain production below needs. It notes declining population growth due to birth control knowledge and forecasts wheat supply will exceed demand, keeping prices fed for many years. Also mentions paper and coal ad clutter.
