State Bank Bldg. 0 in Plane Crash ..-S,-AV.S Will Plant Cora for Production of Hybrid Types Estimated That More Than 2,000 Acres to Be Seeded in Ne braska This Season, In spite of the drouth of 1D33, more j than acres of corn planted for the production of hybrid seed will be grown in .eDrasKa t.ns senson, say grown in .Nebraska this senson, uepartinent oi agronomy at tne j University of Nebraska. The depart- ment was able to supply a consider able amount of inbred and founda tion hybri.is for the production of the commercial double cross hybrid corn. For three cr four years about 30 farmers and seedsmen in Nebraska have been developing plans for pro duction of hybrid seed corn. These growers will plant approximately 2, 000 acres of single cross hybrids in 1m37. These hjbrids are Nebraska 252, Nebraska 23S. Nebraska, 362, Nebraska 110 and Iowa 03, which are the five hybrids eligible for certifi cation in Nebraska. Hybrids are not certified in Nebraska ur.til they have demonstrated in field tests that they yicld from 15 to 20 per cent more than ordinary farm varieties of corn, and that they have desirable char acteristics as to stiff ness of stalks and quality of grain. In addition to supplying the larg er growers the department has set aside single crbss seed which can be purchased by farmers who wish to grow an acre or two of hybrid corn to supply their own seed. It is expected there will be approximate ly 200 farmers prrowinjr small acre ages of from one to two acres, so that in 1938 they will have their own hybrid seed for field planting. The department still has on hand a limit ed amount of the single crosses for production of Nebraska 110 and Neb raska 3C2. A number of 4-H corn club boys and Smith-Hughes students in agri culture are growing acre plats for the production of hybrid seed this coming season as part of their project. Hybrid com meetings held during the past two weeks have been well attended by farmers interested in learning the details of hybrid . corn production. MANDAMUS WRIT ISSUED An alternative writ of mandamus was issued by District Judge Eroady Thursday ordering Walter J. Jensen, state treasurer, and William H. Trice, state auditor, to set up on their books the reappropriation of $7,000 for use for prevention of scabies and swine disease, or show cause on March 30, at 9 a. m., why they should not do so.

Gib bons, a taxpayer, who claims that a bill passed by the house and the sen ate reappropriated the amount that was unexpended in 1935 but that the enrolling clerk by error failed to include the amendment to the bill, and the money has never been set up for use.

Here are some of the main objectives of attack: Fill up or fence off mudholes, which form an ideal breeding place for disease germs and parasites; burn old straw stacks, board up holes be neath buildings. where animals might burrow and pick up lice, mange, worms, and tuberculosis; fence off manure piles, which are ma jor sources of parasite infestation; Eradicate rats, mice, pigeons and sparrows which are great germ car riers; spread crushed rock or shale around water tanks; clean and dis infect all buildings used by animals; scrub all feed boxes and roosts with hot lye water. Clean-up of yards, lots and build ings is an effective wt-apon against mange, lice, swin enteritis, thicken cholera, horse dLumper. contagious abortion and lockjaw.
