Farm Bureau and Washington Role in Farm Legislation
The American Farm Bureau Federation runs a Legislative Department in Washington to monitor proposed farm legislation, inform farmers of its significance, and push for measures aiding agriculture. It notes progress from a farmer-friendly Congress, outlines bills backed, including agricultural credit, cooperative marketing, and anti-trust clarifications, and credits the farm bloc for enabling passage.

New L shaped concrete block cuts building costs
Iowa State College agricultural engineering unit built over four thousand L shaped concrete blocks this summer. The design aims to lower masonry costs by simplifying materials and labor, enabling farmers to make 15 blocks with the labor needed for four or five traditional blocks. Garages in Ames and a college machine shop use the block, with Dow City residence foundations under construction. Prof. J B Davidson developed the concept. Henry Giese led the design and production work.
