Asparagus Beetle Turns Pest for Iowa Fields
The common asparagus beetle, introduced about fifty years ago near Baltimore, is troublesome in Iowa. Adults and larvae injure asparagus shoots, and larvae later devastate seedings. In small beds, hand picking helps. poultry can destroy pests. calcium arsenate dusting at dawn can kill larvae and adults, with caution for young shoots. Large growers prune to force beetles onto new shoots for market before eggs hatch, a method that helps control the outbreak.

Iowa hog tax cut could shift burden to farmland
Iowa faces a sharp drop in hog valuation for tax purposes after the Forty-first general assembly reduced swine eligibility for taxation to under nine months. Auditor James C. McClune estimates about 76.5% less hog valuation than 1924, risking higher farm land taxes to balance the loss. Counties report lower swine assessments, signaling increased revenue pressure on farmers and potential shifts in tax burden.
