THE PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGESIX :::::::: isms At last some action is being noticed relative to King Korn Karnival and Plattsinouth's Centennial observance sched uled for September 21 to 24. Due to seme conflicting dates, ladies in charge of Koronation of the 1954 Kween and King is being stepped up to Tuesday night. Heads of the entertainment committees have their heads to gether trying to come up with something that will fill in for Wednesday it will be done. This year the city comes up with about the fanciest '"stock ade" for outlaws charged by Kangaroo Court we've had in 30 years. Constructed of tree slabs, the court and stockade really takes on the appearance of a true pioneer corral and should lend some spirit to pre-show ac tivities. Witn the VFW in charge cf bringing "violators" for sen tencing, onlookers are in for some great entertainment. Just to be on the safe side, better display your Centennial, Shave, Whisker or Bustle buttons prom- inently. Actual printing of Platts mouth's Centennial Book, tell ing the story of the city's found ing and history to the present time, got underway at the Jour nal plant the past week and should be ready for distribution during King Korn Karnival, bar ring unpredictable mishaps and arrival of final copy.

N Following a short tour in the Mynard area the first of the week, we were surprised at the amount of corn Cass county will harvest this fall. Faced with heat waves and drought for sev eral weeks during the early part of the growing season, prospects for fodder were none to bright. However, recent rains have cre ated a miracle in many fields with a fair to middlin' crop in sight. On the Glen and Art Weten kamp farms in the Mynard vi cinity are two examples of out standing corn crops for a grow ing season such as 1954. The two brothers gave their fields a heavy lime treatment last fall and this spring put on a treat ment of nitrogen fertilizer. Dis- regarding the advice of some fertilizer representatives to "plant 'er thick," the Weten kamps used the same seed spac ing of former years. Results are most gratifying we wouldn't venture a guess as to the yield, but these boys have corn. Also stopped at the Neal Snell farm where shelling of 1953 1 sealed corn was undervay. The Wetenamps were doing the job with their portable sheller filling a large truck bed in less than an hour. Stored in cribs on the Snell farm, the shelled corn was being transferred to sealed bins by government order due to de terioration from moisture. These modern methods of farming are a far cry from ear lier days. John Vallery, who furnished the Studebaker for transportation, recalled that in the same vicinity, he had hired about 20 men with teams and wagons to shell his corn crops and haul it to elevators, not too many years ago. It is not so long ago that this method is probably familiar to a good share of our present day farmers. But is was hard to believe when John Vallery pointed to his co-chairman of the Korn Show, Glen Wetenkamp, and said he could remember when the latter was "just a little tow head" and came with his daddy to shell John's corn a number of years ago too many years, in fact. Wonder how many of Glenn's neighbors can visualize him be ing a "little Towhead." RRF REAL ESTATE LOANS 2 5 Percent Interest Charge Reduced for each monthly payment Plattsmouth Loan & Building Ass'n.

They will have full workouts today and Wednesday, and a one-quarter tussle at the football jam boree in Blair Tuesday, before the game with Beatrice here Friday. Talking over the 7-6 loss to Auburn, Coach Ken Schroeder said one trouble was that he had eased off on blocking and other fundamentals last week to work on play patterns. He said the Blue Devil squad had trouble beating Auburn to the punch, although they were trying hard enough. Blocking was poor of fensively but not bad defen sively. An even game almost all the way, Auburn drew first blood in the third quarter after a series of drives over the center part of the line.

Gansemer scored on runs of 60 and 30 yards, the long one on a kickoff. Gansemer passed to Ehlers for the other score.

Legislative SIDELIGHTS . . by BERNIE CAMP Information Director Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation There's nothing wrong with citizens bragging about their state, if it is done judiciously ana wiui no mienuon 01 unend ing the pride of others. Good judicious bragging never hurt any state. Look at Texas; Geor gia and its peaches; California and its orange; Arizona and its climate. . It wouldn't hurt at all for Ne braskans to brag a little more about their state. The climate of Nebraska may have disadvan tages, but so has the climate of Texas and every other state. They don't brag about bad points but they play up the sunshine and good points. There are many things Ne braskans can brag , about with- . out shame. Of course, there is the Uni cameral legislature, the only one among the 48 states or the fact that the state has no bonded indebtedness, mainly because the state constitution does not permit it. Not many states can make tnat kind of a boast ! nf a mnrp mntprini natnrp Nebraskans can brag about more . miles Qf open stream tnan any other state or about the states 77 000 square miles of area rank- : ing it 14th among the states in area; or about the Agate Springa Fossil Quarries which have fur nished fossil specimens to mu seums all over the world and constitute one of the great fos- . sil deposits of the world. It is, of course, in its agri j culture that Nebraskans find much to brag about. Its Sand Hills area is one of the world's j finest grazing areas and helps ! to make the state one of the leading beef cattle producers. The state's creameries are close to the top in butter production and the dairy cow is the basis of an extensive industry. In crop production, Nebras kans can brag about ranking near high in the nation with some 19 million acres harvested in the average season. Only Texas, Iowa, North Dakota, Illi nois and sometimes Kansas rank ahead of Nebraska in this cate gory. There may be some shift in THOMAS WALLING CO.

If they want to brag about education, Nebraskans have the potential with more than a score of universities, colleges and jun , ior colleges located in the state. Nebraskans have plenty to J brag about; and it's something they ought to do more often.

William J. Loeffel, chairman of the animal husbandry depart ment, and R. J. Meade who is in charge of swine investigation at the Nebraska experiment sta tion, have arranged a program ; of interest to every one associ ated with the swine industry. The program opens at 8 a. m. with a conducted tcur of the swine research center.

Dr. Wahl strom will discuss "Progress in Swine Nutrition." Dr. Hazel has for his topic. "Breeding for, the Meat Type Hog." During the afternoon program, Dr. Clifford M. Hardin, chan cellor of the University of Ne braska, will discuss "The Place of the Agricultural Experiment Station." Other speakers from the college of agriculture will be Dr. W. V.

Trro)n ms IP 4 30 Ainm I3 (D SWfiTEK Now Is The Time To Begin Control Of Box Elders Now is the time to begin box elder bug control, says Bob Ro selle, extension entomologist at College of Agriculture in Lin coln. Young bugs usually feed on seed-bearing box elder trees and should be killed when young to avoid migrations into homes this fall. The young bugs are bright red nymphs which mature in the fall to winter in the adult stage in buildings or other pro tected places. One of the better methods of control is spraying infested trees l with chlordane using two or ! three pounds of 50 percent wet iit-i j a i quarts of 45 percent emulsion concentrate to 100 gallons of wa ter. Adults are difficult to elimi nate but may be killed by using a 5 percent chlordane spray made by mixing one part 45 per cent emulsion concentrate with 10 parts of water. This spray should be applied to the areas ? where they crawl. In the home Roselle points out that 5 per cent chlordane is not recom mended for use in the home. Vaporizcrs May Be Hazardous Vaporizers may become health Vin,75irH! psnpoinllv nrHpn ikpH in ! closed rooms, warns Bob Roselle, extension entomologist at Uni versity of Nebraska. Several different types of va porizers are on the market. Most of these devices are simply a lamp shade impregnated with lindane. When the shade is placed over a light bulb, the heat vaporizes the lindane into the air. These vaporizers are not gen erally effective in homes as air currents carry most of the vapor out of the building, he points out. They may be of some value in clothes closets, but their gen eral use in homes is not rec ommended. Cass County's Greatest Newspaper The Plattsmouth Journal J.
