Iowa Autos Tied Up In California Embargo Over Foot and Mouth
It is estimated that about 2000 Iowa automobiles are among those stranded in California due to an embargo tied to foot and mouth disease among cattle in sixteen counties. Cedar Rapids drivers, about 14 loads of cars, seek to return home by the same route. Ducks gathered along the Mississippi River near McGregor in early April, drawn by grain fed to the birds, creating a large, tame flock of canvasbacks, blue-bills, mallards, green-wings, wood ducks, and some wild geese. Bert Rogers of Chariton reports a Mediterranean auto trip from Tiberias to the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem, driven by a Turk who could not understand.

Better Queens Boost Honey Returns in Beekeeping Advice
Prof F B Paddock of Iowa State College touts requeening with pure Italian queens to cut losses from poor queens. He cites experiments showing ungathered honey costs average $18 annually per colony. Four main conditions favor requeening: nonpure Italians, queenless colonies, poor queens, or queens past two producing seasons. Recommend untested queens at $1.25 each and advise uniting queenless or drone-laying colonies with strong queenright groups rather than forcing a new queen.
