He forecasts interior Iowa hog prices around 18.25 to 19 per 220 240 pounds if slaughter remains lower, with summer strength and fall prices up from 1964.

Stay Close to Spray Tank to Prevent Contamination
County Extension Associate Merritt Canady urges staying near spray tanks during filling to avoid contamination of wells. Iowa State’s E P Sylvester warns back siphoning of 2 4-D into wells requires extensive flushing and neutralizing, plus temporary loss of well use. Additional measures include chlorine bleach, ammonia, or trisodium phosphate flushing, charcoal treatment, and multiple pumpings over days, with livestock and household water sourced elsewhere until safe. Rockets become a craze as Redondo Beach Girl Scouts join Boy Scouts in Space Technology Lab program, attending lectures and pursuing space projects and science careers.

Soil insecticides urged for corn crop protection
Washington County Extension Associate Merritt Canady notes farmers hedge against hail and fire but not soil insects. Iowa State entomologist Harold Gunderson recommends spring broadcast aldrin or heptachlor on plowed ground, disk in, to guard corn from cutworms, with effectiveness nine years out of ten, though wet or extremely dry conditions reduce impact and corn rootworms may require organic phosphorus insecticides, especially when corn follows corn. A separate item reports Columbia Pictures signing Michael Callan to a long term contract.
