MP Extension Notes Feed Soil Organisms Feed the billions of hidden workers in the soil and they will give bigger crop yields and put the lanJ in better condi tion. Dr. George N. Hoffer, Lafay ette, Ind., agronomist, points out that a single ounce of fertile soil contains as many as 30 bil lion tiny living organisms. These microscopic workers provide nutrients for growing crons. They build tilth, fight i plant diseases, fix nitrogen in the soil, rot organic matter ana release carbon dioxide needed for crop growth. But this hidden army of work ers must be well fed to work ef ficiently. Hoffer suggests these steps for increasing the soil's population of organisms and building their effiicency: Supply plenty of active or ganic matter. It is estimated that the organisms in the plow layer of an acre of soil will use each year about 400 pounds of nitrogen, 80 pounds of phos phate and huge amounts of en ergy foods such as sugars and starches. A good stand of well fertilized sweet clover, red clover or alfalfa plowed under can sup ply about three tons of dry or ganic matter per acre. About half of this is nitrogen, sugars, starches and other materials the organisms need. dents caused by faulty connec tions or broken wiring. There are three types of cords used for connecting electrical appliances in the home: lamp cords, heater cords, and special heavy-duty cords. Lamp cords, intended for use on lamps, clocks, radios, fans, and the like, are insulated with silk, rubber, or a plastic mate rial called flamenol. They should never be painted, tacked to the wall or run under rugs and table legs. Electricity for coffeemakers, toasters, grills and irons, is sup plied through heater cords made of fine copper strands covered with thin layers of rubber and asbestos, and held together by cotton braid. They should al ways be kept dry and free of kinks the copper sprays every 10 to 14 days. Even though this may cause a lot of work and spending of considerable amount of time, "lots of home grown tomatoes are worth it." CLARENCE SCHMADEKE, County Extension Agent v Asparagus Asparagus from near-by farms is now on the market, and prices are very much lower. With continued warm weather it should not be long before as paragus is plentiful enough and cheap enough to justify home canning and freezing. Asparagus can make valuable contributions to the diet. It con tains significant amounts of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, some of the B vitamins and iron. Special heavy-duty cords are j Green asparagus contains more v iiamiii auu. nun man uic Alvo Minister Three Years Gels Bachelor Degree Leslie E. Drake, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon K. Drake of Lin coln, was among the 106 Ne braska Wesleyan University seniors receiving degrees at 64th annual commencement exercises at Nebraska Wesleyan Univers ity Tuesday, May 26. Drake received the Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in humanities. A graduate of the Grand Is land high school with the class of 1945, Drake has served as pastor at Alvo for the past three years while attended Nebraska Wesleyan. President Fred G. Holloway addressed the Wesleyan gradu ating class on the subject, "To- l day Is the Day," and Chancellor Carl C. Bracy conferred degrees on the 106 seniors and two re cepients of honorary degrees.

Although these cords are made of extra heavy rubber and built for long wear, they should not be used to pull the appliances around. best crops on properly limed Add lime to acid soils. Organ I isms most beneficial to thrive soils. Use plenty of fertilizer. Have the soil tested and supply the nutrients that are lacking. Gen erally speaking, it is advisable to use extra nitrogen for a bet ter balance when plowing down cornstalks and straw. Drain land properly. This al lows the soil to warm up faster in the spring and allows better circulation of air. Treat Tomatoes at Planting Time Tomatoes should -oe either dipped or sprayed with one of the copper sprays at planting time. The spraying will help prevent leaf spot. Weather con ditions this spring have been favorable for the development of the disease. If tomatoes were not sprayed at planting time, I suggest spraying the plants thoroughly at once. Tomato leaf spot can "be kept under control if the plants are sprayed with one of white bleached asparagus. Fresh asparagus is usually sold by the bunch, but it is also sold unbunched, by weight. The important thing to remem ber when buying asparagus is that it must be fresh. Aspara gus ages rapidly after it is cut, j the tips spread and the stalks become tough and woody. There is a trick to cooking as paragus so the stalks are tender and the tips not overcooked. One way is to tie the stalks to gether and stand the min boil ing water that just reaches the I tips. Cook them for about 10 minutes, then cover the sauce pan and let the tips cook in steam, or lay the bunch on its side until the tips are tender. In cooking cut pieces, lay the tips on top of the stalk pieces THE MISSOURI RIVER EAGLE . . . fast, daylight schedules to Atchi son, Kansas City, St. Louis.
