Iowa farm life and markets in a sweeping report
Iowa farmers ship soy beans to New York for concentrated foods while high cattle prices top the season. Black Hawk County growers plan 150 acres of beans and 100 acres seed, with Manchu soybeans yielding 20 bushels per acre last year. Wild celery bulbs are planted in northern game sanctuaries to lure birds, under deputy wardens. Community notes recount Fairfield hospital birth totals, a May 25 lawn fete for babies and mothers, and a statewide music contest drawing 3000 students. A horticulture anecdote links wild plum trees to improved fruit yields and a Mississippian migrant arrives in Lamont after flood hardship.
