Planting; for Hogging Off One way to help solve the farm labor shortage is to plan on hogging off some corn next fall. 'iot. Win J. Loetfel of the Col lege of Agriculture says it has been demonstrated repeatedly that pigs in ft cornfield, in addition to saving the cost of harvesting corn, make larger gains than where the corn is picked and fed to them in dry lot. Wherever grains are U be hogged off. it's advantageous to have some gieen forage available at the same time. It should be remembered also thot when pigs are hogging ofJ grain, they are on a full feed and sfnie protein feed must be supplied if efficient gains are to be- secured The prcbum of fencing is one wliich immediately arises where field fe'-dina is to be io'.iov ed, sa: s hoeftl.

Young, lender rsparagus does net need to i.e scraped when prepar ing it. says Home Demonstration Agent Miss Baldwin but mature as- paragns may have trit under the scales ond they will need to be re moved. To be at its best asparagus should go from the garden to the table. If bought at the market it may need to le kept a few hour? before cooking. In that case it needs to be kei t cold, moist and cnM.-red. When asparagus is scarce and high priced early in tin t,caxu a rmall amount can be made to go far ther by ccmbiri.ig with other goods. as rice, spaghetti. potaioess. or eggs. It may be served in white saace in paity-nhells or on bisc iits like short caKe. An equal amount mixed with crenmeu potatoes, sprink- led with bread crumbs and browned in the oven makes good casserole cih. A small amount may be served vith an omiet cr added to a souffle. Creamed asparagus soup is another good variation. Asparagus belongs to the fres'i green vegetable group which are rich in Vitamin A. The deeper the green color the more Vitamin A they are likely to contain. Too late To Plant Spuds ?

BUS" MORE BONDS j,f , a,.-lC. the country over will be as pro-tll;on ,i3 la3t v,,ar- 'pilC planting of early potatoes has Leer, severely cur tailed by rain throughout nict of the "corn belt" area. Normally po tatoes are coming through the ground at this time but this year relatively lew potatoes have been planted in the gardens or commer cial fields :n ta.siern and central Nebraska and the soil is still gener ally too wet. The question arising with garden- i trs and commercial growers is how late m:iy we plant potatoes with vasonablc prospects cf getting a goou crop. mat. m course, aepenus tuiiieiy uion uie kiuu oi weainer v. c will have in late June and July - especially the temperature. In ex periments at Lincoln, potatoes were planted at intervals from April 1 to July 25 during three years Best yields were produced with earliest planting. Figuring yields from early April ar. 100 per cent the average yields of planting on later dates during three years were as follows: April 1-14, 1G0 per cent April 20, 76 per cent May 1, 70 per cent May 15, 50 per cent May 30, 29 per cent Evidently early planting is very desirable but reasonably good crops (an be expected if potatoes are 1 planted as late as the first of May. When planting at this late date , mulching the ground with straw or 'other litter just after all the plants are through the ground, will help to i increase the yield greatly. I When the soil is as full of.mois- ture as is the case this year and s-prouts on seed potatoes are well ad vanced at planting time and tem peratures will be higher than four weeks ago -we can expect the plants to be through the ground in two weeks or less so planting a month late may not mean that the crop will Le a month late. If we have relative ly cool weather and rain in June or early July the crop may still be very good, but if we should have very hot and dry weather in June and July the potato crop planted this late may not be very good, yet worth growing in times like these. ; V.'
