Iowa Endures Fast-Paced Push On Liquor Rules
In a flurry of action the 1977 Iowa Legislature passed Sunday beer sales enabling grocery sales noon to 10 p.m. after a quick House approval. The Senate backed a 2 percent liquor tax for rehab programs while an amendment repealing the 15 percent tavern tax would raise consumer prices about 5 percent. A pilot extending liquor store hours to 10 p.m. was authorized as a budget move, and a 19-year drinking age bill advanced only in the House. The wine-in-grocery bill remained alive for debate next year.

Growing Tomatoes Your Own Way
Iowa State University horticulturist Gary Kling says tomatoes thrive whether allowed to sprawl stake or grow in wire cages. Sprawl is easiest with high yields but slower ripening. staking saves space risks blossom end rot. cages give high yields but cost time or money. Use a 20 to 24 inch by 60 inch cage over small plants and ensure a large mesh for access. For more guidance contact the County Extension Office.
