Co. would like to call to your attention a few of the advantages of raising sweet corn for canning. Due to the fact that me chanical pickers are now available for this crop, and the harvesting is not. too much of a problem, sweet corn should merit your consideration. Sweet corn is a crop on which the price is guaranteed before planting. It is an early cash crop. It works in nicely in the rotation of your land, and does not require a great deal from the soil, as it is harvested at an early stage of maturity. After harvest it makes a fine green manure crop as well as allowing you to nlow under most weeds before they have seeded. The decay of this vegetation makes a fine booster for fall wheat or any legume crop which you may plant. All sweet corn seed, in the past few years has been developed into a hybrid seed, and will pro duce a good stand and yield under normal condi tions. All seed is graded and as a rule can be plant ed with regular corn plates. WRITE OR CALL NORFOLK PACKING CO. Phone 231 The Market is Higher!

Another 80,000 gallons of ker osene and fuel oil have been of fered for delivery to Omaha in January and February bv major oil companies. This adds up to a total of 130,000 gallons of fuel oil to relieve the immediate shortage. These shipments were forth coming in response to efforts by Senator Wherry, when informa tion reached him last week of the acute situation. "If anyone in Nebraska is cold because of lack of fuel oil," Senator Wherry said, "I want them to write me direct. How ever, we must realize that there are serious shortages of fuel oil all over the country, and every one must cooperate by employing conservation methods. I will do all in mv power to alleviate personal suffering, or any short ages which threaten health and safety." THOMAS WALLING CO.

He returned to the States in June 1946, and was released to inac tive duty as a captain in Sep tember 1946. "The fall of 1946 saw Paul at Nebraska working on his de gree.
