Checks in Corn Hog Program Due Soon in Washington County
Washington County will receive about $55 000 as the first payment on 261 corn hog contracts under the government reduction program. About 1 500 more contracting farmers will receive later payments as notices go out, with county officials instructed to collect funds after notification. The state board of review approved a revision raising county average yield to 43 bushels per acre, prompting adjustments to township figures and requiring substantial work by the county committee and township groups to substantiate claims. C Patterson chaired the county committee and presented the case at the Des Moines meeting.

A major scandal at the State University of Iowa revealed that final examination papers across several courses were stolen and sold in advance for three to ten dollars per set. With finals underway, classes were suspended and students faced possible passage or failure based on their performance. Professors who had not yet given tests substituted questions, while those completed reviewed papers to identify potential top students. Reports stated questions were sold with a money back guarantee of accuracy, and university actions were not yet decided.
