Canadian beer plan fails to end prohibition woes says Raney
William E. Raney former Ontario attorney general told the Senate prohibition committee that legalized non intoxicating beer did not solve wet and dry troubles. He said four per cent beer lacked kick and permits invite sale of stronger drinks, with bootlegging persisting in both provinces and U S. enforcement hindered. The Anti Saloon League weighs removing General Andrews and District Attorney Buckner over enforcement views.

Rates for Planting Corn in Southern Iowa
Iowa farm crop experts at Iowa State College rely on a five year study across 12 areas to suggest optimal corn planting rates. In southern Iowa two kernels per hill yield about 51.5 to 61.96 bushels per acre depending on subdivision, while three to five kernels per hill show variable results across four sections. Deep planting reduces yield, with two inches depth most favorable versus deeper depths.
