Iowa lawmakers face voting age debate after Supreme Court ruling
Iowa legislators arrive Jan 11 to face a vertical split on lowering the voting age. The UPI dispatch notes the Supreme Court allows 18 year olds to vote for federal offices but leaves state and local races to state action. Strong GOP pressure favors 18 as aligned with federal law, while many Republicans remain opposed.

Frank Comments on Weather Seed Prices and Offers for Spring
The notice discusses a major snow storm delaying contact for spring planting needs. Gary and Ed will visit as weather allows, with office availability noted. Purity and germination reports for Certified Soybeans are improving but not matching top 1969 1968 crops, prices are fair, and demand is strong. Some varieties like Wayne are nearly sold out. Chemical and fertilizer prices are mostly steady with minimal rises. Aldrin and Heptachlor offered for rootworm control. The Chevron Chemical Co refunds a dollar per pint on box 10 purchases paid by Mar 31. A profit sharing deal remains, plus a cash discount for prompt payment.
