Sendoff for Dickinson county selectees draws large crowd
Editorial notes pride in the Dickinson county sendoff led by the American Legion with about 50 caretakers for nearly 2,000 onlookers. Twenty seven Dickinson county boys plus Emmet and Osceola county youth departed, the first public patriotic display since induction began. A future May 5 draft sendoff is planned. The piece contrasts public reaction with Swea City’s quiet farewell and suggests ongoing letter and package support may better serve troops than large public goodbyes.

Economists say 379 wheat surplus in Iowa should be priced to boost livestock feeding.

Subside boosts maybe needed, but higher wheat prices hinder shift to livestock, urging immediate action to maximize future production.
