City officials met to discuss a water crisis after new shallow well water caused dirty water and iron staining. District engineer A R Baron warned the soft water would continue to loosen deposits in old pipes, with iron persists even if the shallow well is cut. A removal plant would cost about 25 000, so the city flushed hydrants and urged daily water use to try to clear the system.

Reap Larger Profit by Growing Feed on Farm
New York farmers spent 169 million dollars on outside feeds in 1949, prompting Cornell analysis. Grass and legumes provide the cheapest digestible nutrients for cattle, with high quality forage boosting milk production and reducing feed costs. Authors urge liming, fertilizing, periodic reseeding, and improved grassland management to cut reliance on distant feeds and increase farm independence amid labor and market disruptions.
