She continues:
"When the train reached the
sea dividing Denmark, it was
separated into three sections and
put on board the huge ferry boat -
all 12 coaches. The people left the
train to promenade the deck above
of feed the hundreds of sea gulls
following the ferry. The passen
gers through bits of food which the
sea gulls caught in mid-air. They
cried for more. In the distance
we could see the red tiled roofs
and the smoke rising from a fac
tory. a few other large white fer
ries and smaller vessels with
white sails.
"When we reached land again,
an announcement told us to return
to our numbered seats. The cros
sing reguired one hour and 15
minutes. Copenhagen is a beauti
ful city with one million people.
One fourth of all the Danish in
habitants live here. The streets
are lined with trees and blooming
shrubs. Tin're are no high build
ings. The “Europa”, a new hotel
is the highest, being 19 stories
high. Hans Christian Andersen is
still a local hero. A busy street
is named for him and book stores
are filled with his stories. One
such storv book I sent to my
eight year old daughter, Rose
mary.”

Corn Disease
Resembles Borer—
The Holt county agricultural
agent's office reports:
There have been a number of
inquiries about a com disease
that resembles corn borer egg
masses. Although there is a lot of
borer damage in Holt county, in
many cases borer is not the
cause. If you cannot find many
borer holes at the base of the leaf
you may have this unidentified
corn disease. If you are in doubt
what your trouble is stop in at the
extension office.
Pea aphids are increasing on al
falfa and vetch in most areas of
the state. They are difficult to
control. For ground equipment,
use 1V4 pints of malathion per
acre in 15-20 gallons of water. Use
boom-type sprayers.
Pea aphids will be numerous as
long as temperatures are cool, and
may reduce the second cutting if
they are numerous enough to
stunt growth and cause foliage to
discolor.
