w t T v-'' ' " W " -K- " V " 5;' : v!!V',Wr, Scrimmage Sessions Show Blue Devils Improving A hot and cold varsity eleven showing signs of speed and pow er, fought under game condi tions for nearly an hour Friday against an undermanned re serve unit as the .second full week of grid activity came to a head lor Plattsmouth high school gridders. But the varsity eleven had relapses at times and still showed need for drills in block ing assignments as well as in methods. The 175-pound line average which Coach Merle Stewart threw at the Reserves succeeded in opening the holes, but lacked the finesse and savvy in clo.se contact work. Soph half Jim Graves gave the big boys a few moments of des pair early in the Friday scrim mage. Working with the Re- ; serves. Graves fielded a varsity kickoff, easily outmaneuvered the entire line and threatened to go ali the way. Coach Merle Stewart had rea son to rejoice three minutes after the scrimmage session opened. The varsity, powered by DaWayne Noell's running ; scored in only three plays. From then on the scrimmage session ; settled down and thrill-pack j action was generally missing. With only three good days of j Set all the latent hits on MB practice remaining before the opener against Auburn on Fri day night, the Blue Devils can expect heavy contact wotk. Blocking will be stressed in drills this week to smooth out the attack. Coach Merl- Stew art said. Linemen would have drawn nearly 200 yards in pen alties in the Friday -clash had rules been enforced. The varsity unit had John Ahrens end Grover Cundall at ends: Dick March. Dick Glaze a. tackles: Lyle Wood. John Kruse and John Carper at guards and Wiilard Christensen at center. Tom Conis was at quarteroack; John Blotzer and Df-Wayne Noeli at the halfs: and John Schuetz at full. Working with the Reserves were Byron Finnefrock.

Jim Graves, Don Bocock. Tom Livingston Melvin Wilson and Denny P'ak. Stewart said that a night practice tilt will be carded for Wednesday night, starting at 6:30 and finishing under the lights. The public is invited to witness the workout, but Stewart asks that no cars be brought on the field.

For the Canninr Season As the spring and summer season progresses, homemakers throughout the country are can ning garden nroduce to preserve during the seasons of plenty for the seasons of scarcity. These homemakers will be eager for the latest cannine informa tion from the U. S. Dept. of Ag riculture as they want to be sure of usinc the most-up-to-date methods to safeguard the results of their canning efforts. The U. S. DeDt, of Agriculture. Farmer's Bulletin No. 1762, Home Cannine of Fruits. Veg etables and Meats states as follows: "Successful carmine: is based on an. understanding of the im portant causes for rapid sooilaee of fresh foods and on a know lPrioe of the methods by which this spoilage can be prevented. Two agents that cause food spoilage are enzymes and micro organisms, including bacteria, yeasts, and molds.

Dr. Severson said the reasons for the reduction in acreage of safflower in Nebraska last year were the lack cf dependable markets for seed and the poor yields of the crop in 1950. Yields in 1951. however, were average or better on dryland and below average on irrigated land, de spite rust infection.

Fertilizer Advised With Wheat Planting: University of Nebraska soil specialists are advising farmers add plenty of fertilizer at the time of planting wheat and seed- ing grass-legume mixtures. Thev j say the fertilizer will pav off in : bigger yields of grain and better i seeding next year, i When wheat plants are well ! nourished, the specialists say. they are in better shap to stand up against the winter. The same goes for legumes. The soil spec ialists are recommending the use of fertilizer carrying 30 to 40 lbs. of nitrogen and 30 to 50 lbs. of available phosphate per acre. The nitrogen also will help the stooling of the wheat next year and give more heads per acre. Farmers, the specialists advise, should order their fertilizer as soon as possible because of the short supply in comparison with the demand. Late ?.Iowed Red Clover Stands Winter Farmers having red clover in wheat stubble should delay mowing the legume until late in the fall, according to Extension agronomist, J. D. Furrer of the University of Nebraska. He says that during the past several yars red clover has come 'through the winter when little or no top growth was left on it as it went into cold weath er. In fact, he says, the late mowed red clover has come through the winter better than stands which had considerable growth remaining during the cold weather. Clarence Schmadeke.

Whether foods are acid or non-acid also makes a difference in the rar at whih bacteria mav be killed. With the non-acid foods, such as meats and corn. oeas. bans, and practically all j vooptables excent tomatoes, these heat-resistant bacteria can be killed with speed and suretv only at high temperatures obtainable in the steam pressure canner.
