This is more than 100 per cent increase over the five year av- J erage previous to 1953. The five year average number of samples I submitted for anaylsis is 73. It pays to test soil for intelligent use of fertilizers or as one good cooperator from Murray put it: "Just for curiosity's sake its worth a dollar to know." Where fertilizers are to be applied in 1954 it would be well to get those samples taken right now before the soil freezes up. Journal Want Afis Pay! With plunger-typa lock for oil drawer.

Ball, assist ant entomologist at the Uni versity of Nebraska college of agriculture. The calculated number of borers per 100 plants has climbed from 10 in 1952 to 41 during the past summer. Cass county is one of the Southeast counties for which a count was taken. On the state level borer in festation jumped from 24 a year ago to 79 during the past year. Figures for each county were determined by taking the av erage of five fields in that coun ty. " Twenty five stalks were counted off and -the number of stalks infested recorded. Then, two of these infested stalks were completely disected in order to determine the number of bor ers per 100 stalks by means of simple arithmetic. Estimated Joss for . 1953 was set at approximately seven and one half million dollars, more than twice the previous year. December 13 marked a signifi- cant milestone in the advance ment of telephone communica- . tions in southeast Nebraska. At that time long distance op erators serving 125 communities in' southeast Nebraska ' began" dialing calls straight through to over 17 million of the 50 million telephones in the United States without help from operators in distant cities. j This was made possible through the installation of in- ter-toll dial switching equipment . ax, a new teiepnone Dunamg in Lincoln. This new equipment is nmv tVip VinVi nf orvrat.nr Ion r distance dialing in southeast Nebraska and is an important , dial toll center in the national v system. E. A. Ernst, area manager of The Lincoln Telephone and Tele- ' graph Company at Plattsmouth,': said that operators serving Plattsmouth will now be able to ' dial long distance calls straight through to telephones in nearly, all towns in southeastern Ne-! braska which have dial service, ; or to operators at other points, j since reoruary 1952, eight cities served by LT&T have had di rect connection with the nation al dialing system through equip ment at Omaha. These are ' Plattsmouth, Nebraska City, ' Wahoo, Seward, York, Hastings, Tecumseh and David City. In terms of customer service, E. A. Ernst said, this will mean that most long distance calls to points connected with the toll dialing system will go through about as fast as dialing a local call, provided that the customer knows the number of the dis tant party. On calls to points out of Nebraska the long dis- tance operator will dial three hdigits to reach the desired state, two more digits to reach the desired town, and then the re quired number of digits to dial the subscriber's telephone num ber at the town. The telephone at the distant city starts to ring almost instantly after the op erator finishes dialing the number.
