One had to be knocked out so he would let Uooss and could be taken down, I heard." Around the Baburek firm, the ideas fly thick and fast and if you have one and some money to pay for the time, Baburek's will make the gadget for you. John is the machinist and Paul the welder. Working with them is their father, B. Baburek, a carpenter by trade. Other men are hired as needed depending on the size of the job. Paul intends to hit the road ;with the crew about April 1, . though he will spend most of his time at the Piattsmouth bass, when not looking for con 1 t relets "We will take the list of jobs r the Pyle Bros, company did over Tthe many years they operated and ask for a job repainting a r water tower, for instance, that the company painted before. With the good workmanship they used and with their repu tation, we will probably get the job again," said Paul. Baburek said he intends to bid on the painting of the Ne braska City bridge this year (a hand painting job which will cost lots of money) before it is turned over to the govern- j ment as a free crossing. Many other jobs are already catching his , eye. "In most salesman jobs, you have to go in and find out if the firm needs something," he says, "but in this business, you can just drive along the high way and spot a water tower ; STANDARD Standard Oil's home heating discovery completely prevents clogging of oil burner parts . . . stops gum, sediment and rust in tanks !

A break-down of the budget reveals that a total of $4,575,225 has been allocated for essential improvements in the District's y 1: j. i a t- j. uonsouaaiea eastern oysiem, and a total of $2,053,675 for the Western System. It is expected that actual con struction accomplished during 1955, will total approximately $3,125,000 in the Eastern System, and over $400,000, exclusive of the Ogallala steam plant con struction, in the Western Sys tem. The unused balance will be carried-over and included in the 1956 budget. Officials of Consumers point ed out that the above amounts are exclusive of any funds for the construction of a steam gen erating plant in Eastern Nebras ka, as this project is involved in litigation in Platte County court at the present time. Major items set out in the budget for the District's Con solidated Eastern -System in clude: $1,801,555 for moderni zation and expansion of distri bution systems to accomodate the rapidly increasing loads in many of the towns served, $872, 980 for new substations and sub station improvements in many of the load centers, and $837, 400 for rebuilds and revamping of transmission lines to carry higher voltages to key. points in the Consumers system. One of the major transmis sion line projects is the rebuild ing of Consumers' 34,500 volt, Belden Hartington line to carry 69,000 votes. This line will car ry Bureau of Reclamation pow er supplied by the Gavins Point dam, through the joint delivery point at the Belden substation. When completed, this line will provide additional power for Coleridge, Crofton, Bloomfield and other communities in the area. Broiler Growing Tests Of Benefit LINCOLN Broiler growing tests now being made at several state agricultural colleges are benefiting the producer in many ways, says J. HClaybaugh, ex tension poultryman at the Col lege of Agriculture. He says these accomplish ments may be listed as follows: Shows the importance of start ing with disease free chicks that have been well hatched. Demonstrates the necessity for broiler growers who must sell at a price that leaves a narrow margin over expenses to start only such strains of chicks which have known, performance records. Gives breeders as well as growers a chance to compare improvement and the ability of certain crosses to pick. Demonstrates wrhat has been accomplished in developing chi ckens with the ability to grow rapidly and convert feed into growth economically. Cundall, who injured one of his arms in an accident.

Alt house, i Chairman, Cass' County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. The closing date applies to farmer owned Warehouse - stored grain as well as to grain stored on farms. The Chairman warned farm ers wrho expect to place wheat, barley, oats, soybeans, and grain sorghums to file ,their apr plications in the next . few days to be sure of meeting the dead line. If the grain to be put under price support loan is farm -stored, time must be allowed for . inspection of the storage structure and for a moisture test and grading of the sample taken at time of inspection. A rush of applications late in January, the. Chairman cau tions, could make it impossible for the county ASC office to complete the necessary work before the January 31 deadline. CHINA BLOCKADE President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles ruled out an emotional, war-like ap proach, including a naval block ade, to counter, a refusal by Communist China to release 13 Americans imprisoned on spying charges. They held the position that a violation of the Korean peace terms obligates the United Nations act.

Next highest hitter, is Gene Hew Fungicid ave Crop Losses The annual loss in fruits, veg etables and grains ruined by fungi amounts to nearly $3.3 billion, 'iius figure should be greatly reduced in the future through the use of captan, a newly discovered fungicide. Writing in the January Read er's Digest, Marcia Lee says: "Captan should bring better tasting, better-looking, longer lasting and more abundant lruits and vegetables to our mar kets, at lower prices." . Originating in the Esso Labor atories, Linden, N. J., and first tested by Dr. Robert H. Daines of Rutgers University, captan is now available to farmers and nurserymen in bags or cans, ready for use as a spray or dust. Apple growers near Hancock, Md., in 1951 were discouraged because sulphur sprays used against apple scab so b.emished the fruit that most of tha har vest brought lowest' - trade prices. Captan, sprayed cn trees in" two experimental or chards, resulted in yields almost four times that of the sulphur sprayed trees, and bigger, better colored apples. At Iowa State College, captan coated, seed corn produced 4.2 bushels an acre more than the seed treated with the fungicide most .widely used in . the area. In sweet-potato experimental plots in California, the use of captan saved enough sprouts to seed double the usual number of acres. Flower growers have found that captan prevents black spot on roses and 'that it controls powdery mildew of tuberous be gonias and various blights and rusts afflicting carnations and chrysanthemums. . - Captan has little odor and is "one of the safer agricultural chemicals," the article says. The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture warns that it is not useful against "certain minor diseases," may not; work unless "a careful ap plication schedule" is followed, and that its cumulative effect is unknown. One USDA re searcher has said, however, that it comes nearer to being an ideal spray than any other fungicide available. The SS United States, speed queen of the Atlantic, is fire proofed to an unprecedented degree. Wood is used only in her pianos and butchers' chop ping blocks. More aluminum went into her construction than into any other single structure on land or sea, says the Na tional Geographic Society. Natives of African Uganda re gard milk as a truly royal bev erage, the National Geographic Society says. Milkmaids chosen at an early age tend cows owned by the king. Europeans seldom are permitted to see the , milk ings, and the milk must always be borne to the royal house i with great ceremony.

How's he gonna New Farm Corn Allotments Are Now Available Any producer, who intends to plant corn in 1955 on a farm where no corn was planted dur ing the years 1952, 1953, or 1954 should apply for a "new farm" corn acreage allotment if he want any price support on his corn or an ACP payment in 1955, Ivan G. Althouse, chair man of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said today. Marketing quotas do not ap ply to corn, the Chairman ex plained however, under the acreage allotment program, the production of corn in 1955 on a farm which has no corn acreage allotment would make the pro ducer on such a farm ineligible for any payment under the 1955 Agricultural Conservation Pro gram.
