Boys cured of infantile paralysis ready to give blood
A UL Gauthier of Corning Iowa says calls from the state health department for blood from recovered patients are being answered. Donald Hendrickson and James Cupp went to Des Moines with parents to register as recovered. At ages nine and ten they are too young to donate now but may help later. The bulletin notes the cause is unknown like smallpox but likely a germ or virus. Transmission through nose and throat and possibly bowels or urine is suspected. Fifty four cases were reported across twenty two towns and counties during July August and early September.

Poultry Calendar Promotes Better Farm Records Sioux County
Poultry keepers may secure new poultry record calendars from the Farm Bureau office to start the calendar year on November 1st. Rex B. Conn says the calendars, used last year, are convenient and favored by poultry specialists at Town State College. Many county raisers already keep some form of record, but often incomplete, not aiding flock owners in better management or progress. The calendar format matches farmers natural record-keeping tendencies.
