Approximately 3 000 bushels of Kan red wheat have been certified this year by the Town Agricultural Experiment association and can be secured by farmers through the association. Officers at Ames report the term certified means fields and seed inspected, samples examined after threshing, and strict standards ensuring purity. The seed must be free of other grain and under one quarter of 1 percent of other rareities, with fields free from mustard, Canadian thistle, quack grass, dock, and wild oats. The grain must meet a high standard of purity and not contain excessive weeds or inert material. The Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin 194 outlines sanitation and construction guidance for hog houses and sun exposure to promote health and better conditions. It also provides window placement guidelines for various houses and latitudes, plus details on pens, ventilation, flooring, and walls.
