Rates Increase Poses Threat to Iowa Shippers, Iowa Leaders Say
Des Moines reports from the Interstate Commerce Commission hearings show Iowa leaders warn that proposed freight rate hikes will hit livestock and general commodities hard, arguing Iowa’s agricultural sector already suffers from deflation and cannot bear higher costs. They note cattle and hog rates may rise 14 to 41 percent, while Iowa leads in livestock tonnage and short-haul shipments to Chicago and other markets, suggesting diminished shipping and regional economic strain.

Charcoal Burns Down as Southern Liberty Industry Declines
In Liberty Texas on October 0 the charcoal trade, once a key local revenue, is fading. The region relied on boats from Turtle Bayou and Galveston Bay to ship coal to Galveston and Houston. War years brought $1.75 per sack, but now demand is nearly nil as charcoal burners seek other jobs. The process used four foot logs stacked in pyramids, covered with straw and dirt, fired from the top, then cooled before bagging. A 40 cord kiln yielded about 320 sacks when burning well.
