Farm land values in Nebraska remained steady between No vember and March. Some strengthening in prices of farm commodities since last fall has helped to slow the rate of decline in farmland values which was under way in the lat ter half of 1953, according to a report from the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. '.. A sharp increase in hog prices and more favorable returns from cattle feeding tended to sustain land values in some states. But farm commodity prices are like ly to weaken later this year un der pressure of the large output currently in prospect and large carryover stocks in several ma jor commodities, the report states. Some further decline in farm real estate values by next i fall pnn pynpptpH nnHer thoco ' conditions, continues the De partment of Agriculture report. In contrast with the strong farm real estate market during 1951 and 1952, the report indi cates that the market is now much more selective in most areas, with better farms moving more readily than those consid ered below averages. In the fringe areas of the Corn Belt, the drought areas, and portions I of the Southeast and Mountain areas there are fewer cash buy- i ers, and many prospective buy ers cannot meet the financing pect for 1954 new-acr sales is not requirements of lenders. A seller often must make a substantial concession in price if he wishes an immediate sale or if he does not want to assume part of the financing.

It stayed that way until Falls Controls for Grasshoppers Recommended Grasshoppers are threatening in Southeast Nebraska says Ex tension Entomologist Robert Ro selle of the College of Agricul ture. Many locations in this part of the state have heavy infesta tions that should be sprayed immediately. He recommends the use of one of these insecti cides: Chlordane at the rate of one pound per acre; toxaphene V2 pounds; heptachlor 4 oun ces; and aldrin at the increased rate of 4 ounces per acre. Alfalfa that is infested should be cut as applications of insect icides present a residue problem. Roselle says. Do not allow ani mals to ' graze on vegetation treated with one of these insect icides with the following excep tions: 1. Allow 40 days between application of toxaphene and cutting or pasturing, when this insecticide is applied at the rate of IV2 pounds per acre. 2. Allow at least 15 days between applica tion and cutting or pasturing if treated with 2 ounces of aldrin per acre. 3. Allow at least 30 days if treated with Dieldrin. 4. Allow at least 10 days if treated with heptachlor at recommended rates. Toxaphene and chlordane will provide longer residual action than will aldrin or heptachlor, he says.
