Iowa CROP Drive In 1950 Delivers Food Overseas
Iowa’s 1950 CROP campaign raised 288 954 dollars but delivered over 477 000 dollars in commodities to hungry overseas. Director Harry E. Terrell said 219 255 dollars bought Iowa grown foods and 257 912 dollars covered freight for government donated items. More than 46 000 dollars in hybrid seed corn aided European and Asian harvests, with 6 293 dollars given to other relief groups. Only 16 percent funded costs beyond commodity purchases.

Kramer Produce Leads Wapsie Bowling Standings
Kramer Produce strengthened their Wapsie League lead at New Hampton by beating Ionia 4 points. Mandel Kramer's 213 was high game. Lee Peacock's 579 topped high series as Kramer totalled 2,695 pins, a season high for any league team. Kuhrt Cleaners lost to C. R. Baker, Baker averaging 888 with 400 more pins to take the league lead. The Tripoli Peacocks were shut out by Alta Vista, remaining tied for fourth in the Rollaway league. Failure to produce sound corn may reflect season or hybrid factors.
