Railroads in Russia Decline Amid War Damage
American writer Eleanor Egan reports in the Saturday Evening Post that Russia’s rail system has deteriorated since the revolution. Before the war Russia had 50,000 miles of first class track. now repairs stopped, sleepers and ties worn to six or seven years, and sleepers production only 20–25 million annually, leaving railways at about 20 percent efficiency. Engines declined from 20,000 serviceable to 18,000 with 5,000 dead, two thirds of remaining engines ill or unusable, fuel scarce with mostly green wood, and freight cars collapsing from 450,000 to under 20,000. Passenger coaches are mostly former freight cars with poor ventilation, forcing crowded, unsafe journeys in battered cars.

Farm Bureau Notes Warn About Flies and Poultry Value
W. H. Wellhouse of Iowa State College urges prompt fly control with early summer focus and fall sanitation to cut breeding, noting traps with banana milk bait and manure cleanup reduce disease risk. Iowa poultry and egg production figures highlight hens as major farm income drivers, with culling boosting laying rates and overall state value. Apples should be picked at hard ripe stage and stored properly to preserve flavor and reduce spoilage.

Avian Tuberculosis Threatens State Poultry Flocks
J J Warren of the poultry extension at City College warns that avian tuberculosis is spreading rapidly across the state. The disease should lead to widespread culling of old hens this fall, with 70 to 80 percent infection reported in several localities. Indicators include wasting, lameness, and lesions on the intestines liver and spleen. To control, destroy infected birds by neck breakage, burn or bury remains, keep coops clean, separate young chicks, and provide ample sunlight and space.
