Hog prices for 1936 higher says farm bureau agent
Hog prices for the 1935-36 marketing year ending Sept 30 1986 are expected to average slightly higher, says County Agent M A Balkema. The 1936 calendar year may see a downward tilt, per Iowa State College extension economists. Balkema spoke in Ames and plans meetings in Emmet County to explain the outlook for crops and livestock. Exports remain weak and consumer buying power could offset rising marketings.

First Pheasant Planting Accidentally Began Iowa History
A historic note from Iowa's game survey by Aldo Leopold recounts the first pheasant planting. An English farmer William Benton near Cedar Falls started raising pheasants around 1899 and a severe storm in 1900 or 1901 released about 2000 birds, aided by vandals. The tale places this accidental release among Iowa's largest plantings, with a rival report of a 2600-bird release in Pilot Knob State Park. Mussolini is said to be buying U.S. mules, setting up a potential clash with Haile Selassie’s Ethiopian forces. Graham McNamee would describe the ensuing conflict.
