A farm woman extols septic tanks, recalling days of carrying water, washing in a hand basin, and using wash tubs. She cites a visit to Des Moines and a sister's home with a big sink and bath as contrast, noting the tank's benefits to her family and daily life.
A moisture check in ten cribs shows only two at safe storage moisture levels. Three more likely pass under best conditions, while the rest risk spoilage unless corn is moved promptly.
Farmers should move corn between cribs to separate wet and damaged ears and allow shelling of dry, with ventilators in cribs to replace air. The goal is to save as much corn as possible and maintain county supplies before new harvest, as corn above 20 percent moisture is at risk of spoilage.
Richard Campbell of Iowa State College outlines simple steps for windbreak planting. Prepare the site with disk and harrow, erect fences to deter cattle and poultry, and protect roots from sun with watering and windproof covering. Heel-in trees quickly by trenching six to eight inches deep, laying trees on the slope, and aligning them for planting.
The guide covers soil, spacing, and moisture needs for young trees. It prescribes trench heeling to protect roots, using a soil water mixture to transport, staking rows, and preparing round holes eighteen inches wide and twelve inches deep. Plant at nursery depth, loosen bottom soil, avoid balling, fill, and water slowly before mulching with straw or hay to conserve moisture.
