The Leader urges Iowa farmers to clean and drain barns and feedlots this spring to reduce disease risk and veterinary costs. Dr. John Herrick notes muddy yards breed infections, and offers a six point check including hauling manure, cleaning shelters, filling wet spots, rotating lots, using lime, and proper disposal of dead stock.
A new pasture renovator designed to rejuvenate and reseed worn fields arrives in Iowa for spring demand. P. R. Farlow of the Illinois Central Railroad promoted the idea to replace missing legumes and fertilizers while preserving existing pasture. Built by Harvester Co, the machine emphasizes safety shields and operator familiarity to prevent accidents.
Farm safety expert Dale Hull urges immediate checks of tractors and implements. He warns against makeshift repairs using bailing wire or chains, notes bolt failures in seats and bent levers as hazards, and stresses using proper tools, safety shields, and skilled repairs to prevent overturns and accidents.
Plans by International Harvester and Illinois Central officials led to three pasture renovating machines. Robert Taylor notes 69 demonstrations across five states with extensive reseeding and fertilizing results. Local agents, Iowa State College, and Bath Packing join in outreach. Demonstrations set for April 18, 21, and 21 at specified farms to boost pasture improvement. Donald Stephens breaks his arm again, his fourth injury with both arms injured twice.
Tri Poli Boosters met April 14 at Willard Mohling’s home with 19 members. A $5 donation to the Iowa Farm Youth Exchange was approved, Lowell Engle named delegate and Eldon Hoppenworth alternate. The group discussed softball purchases and heard demonstrations on saving record papers and farm work.
An unclear report discusses issues on hogs and cattle, then mentions a meeting at Melvin Schwartz’s home. The note states postponement to May 21 and references graduation counts. Miscellaneous maxims about success interrupt the text.
Orville Naber, auctioneer, promotes well advertised and properly managed auctions. Offers advertising and management help at no extra cost. Contact Tripoli at phone 16 F21.
