Plan to Boost Corn Prices Through State and National Marketing
A Iowa Bankers Association committee proposes a state conference with officials and farmers to outline relief for low corn prices and to organize a national marketing program.

Another proposal suggests individuals buy 50 bushel units at 60 cents to 80 cents a bushel to support prices, with debentures issued against stored corn.
