Feed 26 Concentrate Cuts Pullet Feed Costs
Save poultry feed costs this summer by placing pullets on a 26 percent concentrate after eight weeks. This high protein concentrate reduces purchased feed, doubles home-grown grain use, and lowers labor as chicks balance their own ration. Nonlayers stay lean, while self feeding does not cause excessive egg laying. A fawn near Eldora lost a hind leg after jumping into a mowing machine and is being cared for by a conservation officer for eventual relocation to a state park.

Buyer friendly outlook for autos and appliances in 1952
Ralph Poynter and Gordon Bivens of Iowa State College foresee a potential buyer’s market if the steel dispute settles and the international situation holds. Auto demand in 1952 may mirror 1951, with manufacturers offering price concessions, easier credit, and larger trade-ins as output rises. Half of current autos are under five years old and most are postwar models amid few five to nine year olds. Household appliances face ample supply and buyer reluctance, promoting favorable terms for buyers.
