YHE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, November. 19, 1951 Section B PAGE ONE Care Is Answer To Cornpicker Accidents Jack Steele, extension engi neer at the University of Ne braska, warns farmers to take extra care to avoid accidents when working with cornpickers. Although repeated warnings have been issued this fall, Mr. Steele says that reports of corn picker accidents are heard al most daily. The extension engineer raid that some of the precautions that should be taken are: Al ways stop the machine when cleaning it out, never try to pull stalks out of the picker when the machine is in motion; be extra careful when working around a cornpicker early in the morning or late at night; make sure the machine is in proper adjustment so there is minimum clogging. Mr. Steele said that most ac cidents happen between 10 and 12 a. m. and 4 to 6 p. m. This is true because the operator is often tired during these periods of the day. "The old C7;edih custom cf having coffee in the middle of the morning and the middle of the afternoon is a good thing," he said, "because it makes us more alert." Fine Lime Best For Acid Soils There is no basis for the be lief that'eoarse limestone is bet ter than fine lime for neutral izing acid soils, according to Extension Soils Specialist Wil ber E. Ringler of the University of Nebraska. Tests, he said. showT tht lime stone which is ground fine enough to pass through a sieve of 50 meshes per inch is 10 times as effective as coarse lime par ticles the size cf wheat grains. An experiment at the univer sity's agronomy farm in 1929 showed that where fine dust , lime was used the alfalfa yield- ! ! ed three-quarters of a ton more 1 cases- ia the shipment had about 16 minks each. He lifted the case with the lone mink and soon found the answer. Doctors said his biten hand was not serious. i per acre than wnere nme was not used, sweet ciover seeaea in 1950 on the plot which had received the lime was 50 to 100 per cent better than sweet clover on the land which had no lime. That shows, says Mr. Ringler, that lime will last a long time. ENROLL' IN A 4-H CLUB BLOOD RUN" HEAVY' Offutt's "Blood Run" has been highly successful up to this point.

Ait ken announced Tuesday that ; the State Highway Department . has a new official may of Ne- braska highways available for distribution. The department the maps from the printer for almost four months. The state engineer said that the lines on the may show only relocations, additions to the highway system and changes from gravel to a higher type of surfacing and yet the man re veals improvements in 63 of Nebraska's 93 counties since the last map was issued July 1, 1949. He explained that the map does not showr such improvements as new bridges, highways that were regarded on old alignments, highways that were widened or highways that were resurfaced. Aitken said that the high rate of Improvement indicated on the map was due to the increased revenue measures passed by the 1949 Legislature; and since those measures were repealed by ref erendum in 1950 that a new map in 1953 would show a lower rate of improvement. The earliest state editorial as sociation was organized in Wis consin in 1853. GENERAL HAULING and CORN SHELLING See or Call ROY GAMLIN Murdock, Nebraska Phone 2479 Snapped Ear Corn Makes Good Silage Farmers can make silage with immature snapped ear corn, provided a few general prin ciples are kept in mind, says Extension Agronomist D. L. Gross of the University of Ne braska. Most important item, he says, is to see that all air is excluded by very thorough packing. Us ually it would be necessary to add water in order to facilitate nacking. That's especially true, he says, if the ears carry heavy husks. Chopping the ears into small pieces also will help the pack ing, says Mr. Gross. He says it's not necessary to use molasses or other so-called preservatives. Rock Phosphate Note Effective Rock phosphate is... not con sidered to be an effective fer tilizer on most of the soils in Nebraska, according to Dr. M. D. Weldon, extension soils special ist at the University of Nebras ka. He says it is effective only on strongly acid soils aad it be comes effective in such soils only several years after applica tion. Where phosphate fertilizers are needed, he says, the recom mendation is superphosphate because of its greater effect on the early growth, earliness of maturity and greater yield of crops. ERROR ALMOST PERMANENT SYCAMORE, 111. Clinton Township citizens learned that the Pritchard School had been standing for 97 years on the wrong site. A court clerk dis covered the error as the town prepared to sell the landmark. No one expected the mistake to stir up any legal difficulties. tfJAYCJE ABL (SMILER Does So Much!
