Des Moines officials say next week a bill will abolish Civil Defense as known and move emergency preparedness to the Iowa National Guard. Rep. Floyd Millen says the Guard would handle most state duties while some local agencies may remain. Gov. Ray supports quicker state response and retention of viable local units.

Atrazine carryover risks and farming service proposal
Dr C R Weber of Peterson Seed Co reports Atrazine reduces soybean yield when applied the previous year to corn by about 12 percent or 5 bushels per acre. They advise low rates with no carryover products before soybeans and offer neutral, experience based evaluations and herbicide services with cash discounts. They note a $1 per Cwt refund must be paid by March 31 and promote Bux as a top selling insecticide with favorable feedback. They also suggest using herbicide aided alfalfa seeding for two hay crops and offer guidance on seed and material.

Washington reform bill to stop social benefit offsets
Washington lawmakers seek to stop the "add here, subtract there" effect by preventing the Social Security increase from reducing federal aid. The measure targets veterans pensions, Old Age Assistance and other programs, arguing the net gain is negated by income-tested benefits.
