The change will eliminate the three-game first week for the Blue Devils, and provide them with one game during a week in which no games were sched uled. The change makes the sched ule look like this: Plattsmouth opens December 2 at home against Glenwood and will travel to Omaha Westside on Friday, December 5. The game at Valley on December 8 will precede a scheduled conference tilt with College View on December 18. Winners of the East Nebraska Seven conference crown a year ago, the Blue Devils will be out to repeat as kings of the new Ak-Sar-Ben conference.

Records Open to Challenge As Deer Hunt Nears ' If the state's big game hunt i ers require as much time to kill ! a deer as did the average hunt ! er in the 1951 hunt, each special 1 permit holder can expect to spend two and one-half days in ; the field. That was the average time required by each success ful hunter during last year's hunt according to a compilation of information by the Game Commission. Sportsmen last year saw 13 and 14 deer each both sexes which is above the average ob served in the "50 season. Most hunters are expected to enter the open area during the early days of the season. Re cords from the 1945, "49 and '50 hunts show 30 per cent of the season s kill checked in on op ening day of the season, and up to 45 per cent by the end of the second day. Some outstanding records will be open to challenge. The re cord weight of a buck taken in previous hunts was the 2254-pounder-hog-dressed weight taken in the '50 hunt. A buck i scaling 322 pounds before dress ing was checked in at the Bridgeport station in $49 and is probably the largest deer taken to date. The granddady of big antler ed deer became a trophy during the '50 season. The antler spread j measured 41 3-8 inches. Nebraska's buck deer season ; gets underway Monday. Dec. 1 ! and ends on Dec. 7, The do i season runs from December 8 through 14.

J' hat We can expect several dry years to ccms; in the not too far distant fut,ire With the coming dry years, says Frof. Russel, there are four -things that a farmer must do: 1. "Get as much precipitation into the ground as possible when it comes. 2. Conserve moisture after it comes so the least possible is ost bv evaporation or through ; weed.. 3. Maintain adequate soil fer I tiiity so that wheat will make the best use of moisture in all of its stages. And guard against ; excessive "fertility that will pro ' duce overgrowth and overuse of moisture at any stage. - 4.

(They guaran tee to read everything from Society News to lists of County Tax Delinquents.)" We regret that we cannot afford to send every Cass County Serviceman a free subscription to The Journal but we do offer the local rate to anywhere in the world where American boys are stationed, each one specially wrapped to stand the ravages of rough mail handling, moisture and other hazards. This costs much extra, but we think it's worth it. Your boy, too, can enjoy read the news from home twice-a-week during the whole year for only $3.50.
