Pests blamed for seed corn failure in Iowa fields
Iowa State University entomologist Harold Gunderson lists ground squirrels, mice, pheasants, and seed corn beetles as likely culprits when seed corn fails to emerge. He advises field detective work to identify the robber, notes that mice and beetles damage seed germination, and mentions strychnine-treated grain as a drastic control historically used in drought years. He also cautions that birds often receive more blame than warranted and discusses seed treatments that don’t deter all pests.

Iowa Parm Outlook For Egg Profits In 1971
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell says egg profit prospects for 1971 weaken from higher feed costs. First quarter prices averaged 27.4 cents per dozen, with forecasts for April June around 23 to 25 cents, July September about 32 cents, and October December near 33 cents. Egg supply growth, hatch cutbacks, and larger units drive the outlook, with demand expected to rise moderately as economic activity improves.
