Wild brome, wild barley, pepper grasses and dan delions are showing up. Wild brome and wild barley are commonly mistaken for valuable grasses. Since they come on early and make a very thick covering on the ground, they look good at this time of year. However, these weedy grasses are of little value. They are fall annuals, germinating in the fall and maturing early in the spring. Some grazing can be secured now but by the first of June, they are usually headed and dried up. Even more serious are the pepper grasses, grazing of which results in tainting of milk. Much of the penny cress, one member of this group, is already in blossom. Within a very short time, it will have produced seed and the area will be infested for an other year. MARBLE TOURNAMENT The annual C.Y.O. marble tourna ment of the Plattsmouth deanery was held yesterday, April 26, 193S between the Holy Rosary and St. John parishes.

An all parish tournament will be held in the near future to determine the best shooters of the Plattsmouth parishes. A WHAT IS OLEOMARGARINE "From a chemical standpoint there is as great a difference between butter and oleomar garine as there is between day and night. "It takes 25 pounds of oleo margarine to give you as much nutritive value as does 1 pound of butter made from cow's milk. "Butter made from cow's milk contains certain substan ces called vitamins, the most important being vitamin A, which makes it superior in the human diet. Oleomargar ine contains no vitamin A."
