Kansas to Host Four Agricultural Research Labs
Secretary Wallace announced that four research laboratories will be established under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, with Kansas included in the northern area. The labs will study corn, wheat, and agricultural waste, while other sites explore cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, apples, Irish potatoes, vegetables, milk, and alfalfa. The act provides four million dollars annually, to be split among labs, aiming to reduce farm surpluses and boost profits through higher yields and lower costs. Livestock shows like the American Royal are noted for improving herd quality and profitability in the Great Plains.

Clothes From Milk Move Toward Practical Use
The dairy research notes a process to make textile fibers from milk casein similar to rayon, aiming for commercial development. Seeding mixtures for permanent pastures yield higher, longer grazing and better forage balance than single species. Field selecting sorghum heads before frost improves seed germination and reduces smut. Younger cattle offer lower winter feeding costs and longer favorable market timing.
