Unusual Rock Valley Industry Ships Pieplant to Chicago
Fred DeMay operates a rare Rock Valley pieplant business shipping 16 to 20 cartons daily to Chicago since last December. He earns about 20 cents per pound, selling a red radish-colored plant from his own beds, proves more profitable than greenhouse pieplant, and plans to continue after resuming with new beds. The venture, started from a dug dormered pit, employs careful farming and market-driven pricing, with ongoing efforts and community notes on local memberships and school events.

Senate votes 30 to 16 for Brookins resolution on federal aid
Last Wednesday the Senate adopted the Brookins resolution memorializing Congress to withdraw federal aid to the states citing excessive expenditures and taxation. The measure would shift funds Iowa received totaling 3,994,767.01 for the year ending June 30, 1924, if enacted, though passage by Congress is unlikely.
