Marion County livestock feed outlook surveyed
A county wide survey of 30 Marion County farms finds sow numbers to farrow similar to last year. Half of respondents expect to cut corn for fodder, while many plan to dry crops in fields or raise silage due to shortages. Estimated corn yields vary 5 to 45 bushels with an average near the low end as weather improves. Farmers should adjust livestock programs to limited feed, selling winter range cattle and using roughage with less grain to maintain margins.

Carload of supplies and road anecdotes from Des Moines
A brief column notes a carload of Split Treated Posts and Red Cedar Shingles arriving. Mr. and Mrs. Vander Sluis visited Decatur Illinois to spend the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Willard Robbins, old army buddies with service in North Carolina the Alaskan Highway Texas and Okinawa. The piece humorously recounts Marion Witz Wittenburg who sold his Chevy and endured hitchhiking, concluding never sell your car until you secure a ride back and forth to Des Moines, and wonders why he now has another car.
