D D Offringa files the Bremer county agent annual report covering Dec 1 1933 to Nov 30 1934. Major items include 47 township meetings with 3600 attendees, a Waverly banquet with 450 attendees, and a corn husking winner from Sumner. 1,443 farmers signed corn hog contracts, with total benefits about 521 907 dollars.
Soil management covered 194 soil samples tested for acidity or phosphate content across the county's farm bureau offices and fields. Fruit growing notices issued spraying information to those who requested the service. Field crop insects saw 7 400 pounds of poison bran distributed to Bremer county farmers in August to curb army worm damage. Animal health records show all county herds tested for tuberculosis at least once, with the first ten Bangs disease tests requested in November. Arthur Droste of Washington township, owner of Ayrshire cattle, was involved.
Jackson township farm bureau held its regular meeting at Mrs. J. W. Bennett’s home in Janesville on December 17 with about 40 attendees. W. M. George led in absence of the chairman, then a Christmas carol sing and a program featured readings, demonstrations on dehorning a calf and refinishing a chest, plus club work reviews and a trip highlight to the World’s Fair. 4-H demonstrations were county winners and shown at the State Fair.
A large crowd gathered at the Wm. Wendt home on Tuesday evening December 18 for the regular Warren Farm Bureau meeting. After community singing and business, a Christmas program featured recitations and songs.

County agent D D Offringa says signing a 1935 corn hog contract will be quicker for farmers who keep the same corn and hog bases as in 1954. Iowa State Extension reports 1992 33 data will aid form completion, with three applicant groups guiding base requirements and allocations.
A Iowa extension example shows replacing part of a corn bran mix with soy bean oil meal cuts daily feed costs. With corn at 90 cents a bushel, a 20 cow herd could save about 8.5 cents per cow daily by using 200 pounds of soy bean oil meal at 44 dollars per ton, reducing daily intake from 15 to 8 pounds per cow. Detailed balanced ration guidance is available from the farm bureau.
Tripoli swept Frederika with a senior high thriller 21-16 and the junior high 21-13. The senior victory featured a see saw battle, late free throws, and a decisive clinch by W Krueger after Carney missed two.
