Remarkable Helpful Youths Aid Flat Tire in Iowa City

A pair of Iowa City bound women, Mrs. Mary OConnor and Mrs. Everette Meeks, were assisted by a trio of high school girls who stopped to change their flat tire on highway 1. The girls, sharing auto mechanics training, completed the tire change in minutes, declining to give their names as they accepted a token in thanks. The scene renewed faith in youthful helpfulness, while other local notices list visits, birthdays, and community club planning at Columbus Junction and nearby towns.

Dry year little effect on silage feeding value Iowa state data

ISU extension livestock specialist Gene Rouse says moisture shortfalls barely change the feeding value of a ton of corn silage. Dry conditions cut tonnage per acre, but grain per ton declines only about one bushel as expected grain yield per acre falls from 115 to 65 bushels. Eleven years of data from an outlying ISU research center support the finding that silage remains relatively valuable even in dry years.

Mid-Prairie reviews site plan for new school facility

In a special meeting August 19 the Mid-Prairie Board heard an architect report on using the Wellman Elementary site for the new facility. The firm found the site adequate though not ideal and the board plans to use the current property. They tentatively set a December bond election date. The report also covered corn silage yields and pricing guidance for farmers, including moisture notes and a rule of thumb valuing silage versus grain.
