Decrease in Iowa cigarette tax receipts reported
A report from State Treasurer R. E. Johnson shows May cigarette tax receipts in Iowa declined by 9 018. 00 from a year earlier. May 1931 receipts totaled 113 264. 00 versus 122 283. 00 for May 1930, slightly below April 1931. Officials link the dip to weak business conditions and more self-rolled cigarettes.

Friendly worms eat thistles and weeds in Iowa fields
Entomologists at Iowa State College report the thistle butterfly caterpillar is widespread in Iowa this year and feeding on Canada thistles and other thistles. Farmers worry about migration to field crops, but no other plants are yet recorded as eaten. Another caterpillar species is noted feeding on weeds and moving between patches, with no crop damage so far. The rise in friendly insects is linked to a mild winter, mirroring increases in harmful species.
