r Second Brood Corn Borers Has Started This is the ninth of a series of weekly bulletins on the de velopment of the corn borer in Nebraska. Emergence of second brood corn borers has started. Moths were found in Pawnee county in southeast Nebraska on August 1 and one moth was observed in Thurston county on August 3. These are the first second-brood moths reported and it is not expected that large numbers of moths will be found at any place in Nebraska for at least another Sfek. No egg laying by second-brood moths has been reported as yet. Watch out for a few days of hot humid weather during the next two weeks. Such conditions will probably result in rapid emer gence of moths and heavy egg laying. The numbers of pupae are increasing and many of the larvae are fully grown and ready to change to pupae. This means that in the next two weeks it is possible for a large number of moths to emerge if the weather is favorable. few ;7 Aviv 'O n e sketched from .tut-k" 1 "'ifii for Jacket ..

This means that moth, emergence will occur over a longer period than did the first brood. However, much of the early corn may reach a stage of maturity that will make it impossible for the borers to cause serious damage. It is time to start watching the corn fields for signs of egg laying. Remember the recom mended treatment of 14 pounds DDT per acre after the egg mass count goes over 100 per 100 plants. Late planted corn in the northeast counties where first brood borers were numerous will probably need treatment to avoid heavy damage by the second brood. Corn growers in that area should start locating a sup ply of DDT to avoid shortages. The supply at. the manufactur ers' is adequate. If orders are received early it can be supplied at the right place at the right time. Other troubles of the week are Willow aphids and strawberry plants. The Willow aphid is large for a plant louse but small as bugs go. They are brownish colored soft bodied insects that live in colonies or clusters on the young tranches of willow trees It is doubtful that thev will kill the tree but if a spray is de- IP J LEBF Or OA!

Spray on a warm day. that is, above 70 degrees F., and be sure the spray hits the aphids. Strawberry plants in some areas are looking pretty bad. A sharp observer can find all sorts of maggots and worms in the crowns. Most of the small crea tures, however, are in there feed ing on decaying plant tissue and not on the live plant. The two main troubles in this crop seem to be lack of water and plants that are too old. Even mild drouth in a strawberry patch shows up as dead leaves, droopy plants, etc. Also old plants should be removed occasionally. They get rotten crowns which brings in the worms and maggots and the cycle is started again.

CONSERVATION FARMERS LINCOLN Forty conservation farmers in Illinois had a total net income advantage of $36.77 an acre for four year over 40 low-conservation farms of the same soil type slope and degree of erosion, according to .Exten sion Conservationist O. J. Mc Dougal. Jr., of the University of Nebraska. Mr. McDousal said farmers using conservation plans get higher crop yields and produce more livestock, making their in come considerably higher than those who do not practice con servation. Conservation-minded farmers, he says, also increase the fertility of their soil, save their valuable top-soil and con serve more water. A. E.

Legislative Sidelines by BERNIE CAMP Information Director Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation Heigh-Ho, Come to the Fair. Soon all roads will lead to Lin coln. From September 3 to 8. Nebraska's biggest agricultural show, the State Fair will be in full session. Farm folk from all parts of the state, old and young, alike, will come to take part in and see the livestock and 4-H shows and exhibits, the machin ery and industrial exhibits, the races and the midway. State Fair week is a Nebraska institution of almost ninety years. The first State Fair was called a Territorial Fair and was held at Nebraska City in Sep tember 1859. The first fair didn't do so well financially, and ten years elapsed before another was held. In those days before Nebraska became a state, most of it was unsettled, the home of the Pawnee. Sioux. Omaha. Win nabago and other Indian tribes and the buffalo. There were a few settlements along the Mis souri River, concentrated mostly in the southeast corner of the state. The total state popula tion in 1859 was less than 30,000. Lincoln was not founded then. The second state-wide fair the first real State Fair was held at Nebraska City in 1869, two years after Nebraska became a state. The population of the state was still less than 125.000 persons and still concentrated in the southeast and along the Missouri. A legislative act of 1879 pro vided for the State Fair to be located permanently at Lincoln and made it a responsibility of the State Board of Agriculture. Whether Nebraskans partici pate in the State Fair or not. they do have an interest in it. The Legislature provides funds in the biennial appropriation of the state for maintenance of the grounds and building repair, for 4-H club activities, and a total of $2,000 annually for premiums. The legislation appropriation i j not the major source of State fair income. Gate receipts, and rent from use of the buildings by exhibitors at the State Fair and for various events at other times of the year are the major! sources of revenue. Add to Legislative Sidelines i Management of the State Fair 1 is one of the duties assigned I to the State Board of Agricul- j ture. The state board is a ! quasi-private corporation re- j sponsible to the state govern-1 ment. The constitution of the ! board provides for a board of 29 ! members selected from five dis- j tricts for two year terms. The presidents or elected delegates of county agricultural societies are ex-officio members of the board and entitled to attend the annual meetnig in January. An eight-member board of mana gers is set up in the state board as the management authority. A full-time secretary cur rently Edwin Schultz, Elgin is the executive agent for the board of managers and is a member of the board. He is responsible for management of the State Fair. The state legislature has per mitted the State Board of Agri culture to issue grandstand re funding boards to build the grandstand on the fairgrounds. These bonds are not considered an obligation of the state; and no tax funds can be used to pay the interest or principal on these bonds. The grandstand bonds and interest are paid for out of the earnings of the grand stand; and. if necessary, up to $10,000 in other receipts may be used annually .

The state owns the 238 acres in the State Fair grounds. Insofar as possible, the State Fair is expected to be self-supporting. The Legislature has authorized power plant on the city campus to provide electricity to the State Fair grounds, with the provision that this service does not im pair service to the University of Nebraska itself or to the State Capitol building and governor's mansion, which are also served by the University plant. The Nebraska State Fair is noe of the major agricultural ex positions of the nation. It com pares favorably with similar fairs in Iowa. Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Minnesota.

More re cently, under the capable man agements of Secretary Schultz and the State Baord of Agricul ture, the fair has been able to make up past deficits, improve the facilities, and plan for ex janded facilities in the future Non-Farm Labor Shows a Raise Non-agricultural employment was up 2 per cent from May as the Nebraska division of employ ment security reported 308,300 workers for June in the state. The June figure was less than 2,000 short of the corresponding figure a year ago. The largest gains over May were reported in construction with a total increase of some 12 per cent. This was partly sea sonal and partly due to recovery from the strike in Omaha in April. Manufacturing employment pushed upward for the third con secutive month. The gain amounted to nearly 4 per cent over May. All major industry groups re corded employment gains except the government where a reduc tion of 900 occurred because of separation of persons assisting with the census and some deduc tions in school employment. Employment in transportation, communication and public utili ties was reported strong with increases. Interstate railroads accounted for largest numerical increase with some 900 employes added in June. June employment by categories included: Manufacturing 48.000; con struction, 17,100; transportation communication and public utili ties, 40,700; trade, 89.200; finance insurance and real estate, 16,200; services. 38,000; other industries, 700; and government, 58,100. Increase percentage for dur able goods employment: Machinery and equipment gained nearly two per cent for fifth consecutive month after consistently decreasing during 1948 and 1949. Increases in non-durable goods was largely seasonal: Grain mill products, 26 per cent over May; dairy products, nine per cent, and other food products, nine per cent, which was largely result of increases in beverage industry. A person who weighs 200 pounds on the earth would weigh about 33 pounds on the moon, 58 pounds on Mercury, 172 pounds on Venus, 74 pounds on Mars. 528 pounds on Jupiter, 234 pounds on Saturn, and at the surface of the sun about 5580 pounds.
