The venture has been a suc cess from the time the idea was put forth by grocer Virgil Rhodes. Out of the financial venture has come other benefits. The congregation's farmers enlisted the Soil Conservation Service to plot the farm's con servation program. Earl Cook, work unit conser vationist for the SCS at Weep ing Water, says many farmers have started conservation prac itces since observing benefits on the church farm.

The month was un seasonably warm in the east, where Lincoln had the warmest April of record. Average tem peratures were only slightly above normal in the extreme west. They ranged from a little over 60 degrees in the south eastern corner of the state to 46 degrees in the northwestern corner. The on'7 cool period cli maxed with the lowest tempera tures of the month at most sta tions on the 7th. The temper ature failed to fall to 32 degrees thereafter over most of the southeastern half of the state. The warmest day was the 18th or 19th over most of the eastern third of the State, and the 26th over mosi, of the central and west. Highest temperatures ranged from 80 degrees at Har rison on the northwestern corner to 95 degrees at Cam bridge. The total precipitation was near normal only along the Wy oming border, along the Iowa and Missouri borders and a few small spots in the southwestern corner of the Stati? and in Boone County. Elsewhere the month was very dry. Bloomington, in the Republican Valley, did not receive any precipitation during the month, and many stations in the northeastern and central portions of the State received less than half an inch. Heavy rains in the extreme southeast, and a few localities in the south western corner. On the 23d moderate to locally moderate in the central. Strong winds raised much dust over the west ern portion of the State on the 2d, the 19th-22d. and during thf last two days of the month. Warm, dry weather favored field work, but lack of moisture hindered growth of vegetation, particularly in the dry central and northeastern portions of the Stat, The high temper atures and strong winds increas ed the demand for moisture and thus aggravated the drought. Wheat made very good growth over most of the "State, but the supply of soil moisture neared exhaustion in the drier areas, and deterioration started. Many stands of barley and oats were spotted. Lack of moisture pre vented normal growth of mead ows, pastures and ranges ex cept in the more favored areas. There were some reports of grass failing to start, and not showing any growth by the end of the month. Preparation v of corn ground progressed wel,l and neared completion by the end of the month. Several lo calities in the central portion of the State received less than 1.5 inches of precipitation during the first four months of this year. Local storms were of only minor importance. Drifting snow blocked many ro?ds in the west ern portion of the Panhandle on the 3d-5th, and again on the ll-12th.. A few farm fires were started by lightning on various dates. Strong winds funneling through a ravine blew a pick uo truck and the trailer house it was towing over about 6 miles east of Gordon shortly after noon on the 23d.

Buddy Poppy Money Goes for Service To Help Veterans Immediate aid to disabled and needy veterans and their de pendents is just one of the many uses to be made of proceeds from the annual sale of Buddy Pod oies to be sponsored May 28 by Veterans of Foreign Wars Pot No.- 2543. Commander McLean said today. Another important use of Buddy Poppy funds is the VFW Rehabilitation Service, through which service officers assist vet erans in adjudication of claims for compensation, pension and other benefits from the Veterans Administration, Commander Mc Lean pointed out. "Millions of Buddy Poppies sold throughout the nation this year will help solve the problem of rehabilitation and useful cit izenship for those who sacrificed the most to preserve our coun try," Commander A. C. McLean of Plattsmouth says'. "Our service officers are fam iliar with government benefits for veterans and their depend ents. They furnish expert advice and counsel free of charge when given power of attorney. Un snarling of insurance claims, helping survivors obtain termin al leave pay when the veteran dies, and all other cases of vet erans rights have increased tremendously since World War II and Korean Conflict," he de clared. "We feel that every loyal American will want to do his part to make life easier for those who gave so much. They will have that chance on May 28 when Buddy Poppies go on sale here in Plattsmouth.

State Fair To Open Half Day Earlier . LINCOLN Nebraska's 1955 State Fair at Lincoln will open a half day earlier than usual, starting on Saturday noon, September 3, and continuing through Friday, September 9, it was announced today. "The Fair, like all Nebraska, is growing and expanding," said Ed Baumann of West Point, pre sident of the Fair Board, and Ed Schultz of Lincoln, Secretary. "Therefore, in keeping with this growth, we have moved the of ficial Fair opening from its us ual Sunday morning schedule to Saturday noon. This will enable more people to see Nebraska's greatest exposition, and it will help us to give them a bigger and better show." All exhibits and displays will be in place by Saturday noon, ana a complete schedule of en tertainment events has been planned for that afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, Schultz announc ed that the top entertainment feature of the 1955 Fair will be "Holiday on Ice," the first maj or ice show to appear as a grandstand attraction at a ma jor fair. Featuring a cast of 125 performing on 70 x 110 foot rink, tne ice show will be staged each night of the Fair in front of the grandstand. Another new and unique en tertainment feature will be os trich races and a wild animal show. Other features which have established a record of popuar ity will be repeated. They in clude big car races; motorcycle races; a 200 lap stock car race; auto thrill shows; fireworks, spe cialty acts; Dancing Waters; and the William T. Collins Shows on the Midway. Most attention, of course, will be centered on the various ex hibits and displays reflecting Nebraska's agricultural and in dustrial progress. More than 5000 head of prize livestock will be on the grounds, with the dairy cattle housed in a new $75,000 barn to be com pleted this summer. Other ex hibits of crops, domestic arts, school work, and fine arts will round out the panorama of Ne braska at its best. The 4-H club show and the Future Farmer of America show, the only complete, state-wide shows of their kind, will as us ual draw a lot of attention. Industrial and commercial ex hibits will occupy acres xsi space, with most of the reservations al ready sold at this early date. "Developments in agriculture are coming so fast that only at the State Fair can one get an over-all picture of what is tak ing place," said Schultz. "That's one of the reasons why we ex pect the 1955 Fair not only to at tract a record-breaking number of entries, but to draw a record attendance. Cass Gets $8521 Regular, $5,500 For Mail Routes Cass county's share of the gas tax for April was $8,521 for regular road work and $5,500 for mail routes under terms of the new law. The bill changing the per centage, giving less populous counties a larger share, was passed over the objections of senators from counties with larger populations. Towns will also receive a larg er allotment.1 Cass county received $5,552.71 for regular road work in March and $3,681.80 for mail routes but Alice Jayne Grosshans, Cass county treasurer, said that it was difficult to tell how much of the rise was due to percent age of distribution change since allocations vary widely from month to month anyway. Towns under 2,500 population will receive 10 cents per person of this allocation with towns over 2,500. getting 15 cents per person on a basis on the 1950 census, s FREE CLEANUP SERVICE For prompt, thorough- removal of unwanted corncobs, calf one of us.
