How to adjust corn pickers for safe harvest
Iowa State extension engineers outline steps to tune corn pickers for a record harvest. Start picking at 18 percent moisture, set roller clearance at bottom, time gathering chains, and keep slip clutches tight enough to slip when clogged. Maintain lubrication, clean chains with kerosene and motor oil, use winter gear oil in gear cases, and use new grease for cold weather. Stop to clean, keep shields in place, train new helpers, and avoid operating motions while machinery runs. Take regular breaks at 10 am and 3 pm to reduce fatigue and accidents.

Iowa State College economist Gordon Bivens reports 1952 production at about 72 percent of 1951 for Iowa, with carryover down but still sizeable, and prices expected to rise for growers in surplus areas.

Leaves Grass Make Rich Organic Matter
Leaves and grass can be turned into rich organic matter by composting this fall. Ed Cott of Iowa State urges spading leaves, grass, and other mulch into the soil and adding about 30 pounds of 6-10-4 fertilizer per 1000 square feet. This speeds decomposition, enriching spring soil.
