CASS ounty isgi--" r rf1f?a I 1 Wheat Planted This Fall Will Determine Flour, Bread Makinq LINCOLN Varieties of wheat planted by Nebraska farmers this fall will have an important effect upon the qual ity of flour and bread that can be produced f rem next year's wheat crop. Leslie F. Sheffield, grain mar keting specialist at the Univer sity of Nebraska, recommends that farmers use caution in se lecting wheat varieties -to be planted this fall. The varieties planted in a particular com munity or area will influence the demand for wheat from that area next year. Three different classifications of wheat varieties based upon their flour and bread making qualities classifications are strong gluten, mellow gluten, and weak gluten. Nebred, Cheyenne, Comman che, and Ponca are referred to as strong-gluten varieties be cause flour produced from them generally has a long mixing time, excellent mixing tolerance, and good bread-making quality. These varieties are widely used by flour mills to blend with the morg plentiful mellow-gluten wheats in the production of bakers flour which makes up over 80 percent of today's flour market. Pawnee, Wichita, Blackhull, Sioux, and Kiowa are known as mellow-gluten varieties. Flour from these varieties is charac terized by medium to short mix ing time and less tolerance to overmixing. Varieties in this category have satisfactory bread-making qualities and are suitable for the production of family - type flour. However, they lack the gluten strength needed to make bakers flour un less blended with the strong gluten type varieties. Varieties such as Stafford, Blue Jacket, Red Chief, Red Jacket, Kanking. Chiefkan, and Kawvale are classified as weakT1 gluten varieties because, their flour has very short mixing time, poor mixing tolerance, and generally poor bread - making qualities. Flour of these varie ties is not suitable for produc tion of family type or bakers flour. These varieties will be discounted 20 cents per bushel under the 1956 wheat price sup port program. This Shows Why Corn Yield Small Soil Conservation Assistance Comes Through ASC Office Cost-sharing assistance for scil conservation work this fall may be obtained by making ap plication at the County ASC Of fice, according to Neil Munkres, office manager. ACP funds are available so. approvals can be made for farmers signing up in this program now. Compliance with acreage controls is not re quired for approval of ACP cost sharing. Practices for which ccsi-shar-ing has been approved by the county ACP committee are ter races, grass waterways, erosion control dams, liming, vegatative cover and establishment of per manent cover. The Soil Conser vation Service is responsible for doing the layout of the first three practices listed. 'Earl Cook of the SCS points out that fall-constructed ' ter races will be easier to plant to corn next spring than those built just ahead of listing. Building this fall will also help in avoid ing the spring rush, both for farmers and the SCS. For further information, con tact the County ASC Office or SCS at Weeping Water. Stockcr and Feeder Featured on 2 Days Per Week at Omaha In the interest of orderly marketing during ' the Western ran, the Omaha Livestock Mar ket will feature stocker and feeder livestock on Thursday as well as on Mondays. Actually, of course, at markets like Omaha, that class of live stock is bought and sold every market day of the week. But, this fall, the accent is to be on two big days a week instead of only one.- . . This extra major market day will enable the Omaha com mission men to show the Western livestock to better advantage to the ever-increasing . number of buyers from the Corn Belt who look to Omaha for. their, stock ers and feeders. Last year, buy ers from 22 states bought over three quarters of a million head of stocker and feeder livestock at Omaha, Major railroads and truckers are cooperating in this move. Special livestock expresses are planned to put Western ship ments in Omaha m ample time for Monday and Thursday marketing. ' v -'i yi f; , ,-- 1 - ' -t'.'.yv j - r - - - s .--S . Only six times since 1882 has Nebraska pro duced a smaller corn crop than this year, says the federal crop statistician. Here is one reason why that is so in Cass county. Grasshoppers bared these stalks, only one of many, fields in which stalks were stripped over the county. This field is on highway No. 1 west of Murray. Across .the. road from this field, another field appeared untouched by hoppers but suffered heavily from Cass county's dry weather. Journal Phcto.

What's ahead as a future for both crops depends on many fac tors. However, since sorghums are it now, a sorghum field meet ing will be held Tuesday after noon at - 2 p.m. at the Harold Meisinger farm. For observation . are 5-. small plots of hybrid grain sorghum and a field of a standard variety known as Redbine 60. The Meisinger farm is located 2V2 miles east and 2 miles north i of Weeping Water, or ' 3 miles east of old Highway 00 and High way No. 1 junction, then 1 mile south. Fly Control In September Important Stem ' LINCOLN September is usually fly month in Nebraska when flies get really thick and bothersome. Here are some rec ommendations from Robert-Ro-selle, extension entomologist at the University of Nebraska, to help you win the battle against flies on your farm: 1. Sanitation is the first and most important step. Ged rid of as much of the moist,, decay ing organic matter around your farm as possible. This includes rotting straw and manure. 2. Residual insect sprays can heln. Manv flies are now resis- ufacturers are making zippers t.nnt. to DDT. methoxychlor. now to free material caught in Uindahe, dieldrin, chlordane, and tnem -witnoui puiiing or tearing the material. These save tempers as well as material. If you like stretchable nylon anklets for growing youngsters you'll be glad to hear they're be ing made now in a . knee-high length. They come m a wide range of colors and in argyle and stripped patterns too. Stretchable socks come in small, medium and large sizes. Be sure you get the right size so they'll be comfortable and won't bind. If you have an older child who longs for a suede jacket, but you've hesitated buying one be cause of their difficulty to care for, you'll be glad to hear about the new suede jackets with a special finish to make them dry cleanable and to keep them soft and spot resistant. - You may not be thinking about snow suits yet, but when you do, why not look for pants that zip up the outside of the leg? There's no struggle getting into them. Your youngsters (and their teachers) will thank you for it. Pearl L. Schultz.- Home Extension Agent.

Better Breakfast Month isn't a scheme just dreamed up by promotion men. It's based on 5 years of research at the State University of Iowa on the importance of breakfast. The researchers' findings that benefits of eating a good Break fast include more energy, faster reaction and less muscular fa tigue. This means your young sters will be more alert in the late morning hours and do bet ter school work if they've had a good breakfast, and you home makers won't be so tired around 11 o'clock if you take time for an adequate breakfast. Research shows that dieters other sDravs. But so far 'they haven't become resistant to mal athion, dipterex, or diazinon. Malathion is safe to use around farm buildings and dairy barns, but don't use it on animals. You can make your own spray by mixing one gallon of 50 to 57 per cent malathion emul sion concentrate and 20 pounds of white sugar in 50 gallons of water. Spray this on all fly roost ing surfaces in the barn or oth er bulidings. Malathion is relatively sale to use. It has been rated as. only j one-tenth as poisonous to warm blooded animals as DDT. Diazinon is much more dang erous than DDT, and should be used only if protective clothing and a respirator are worn while applying it. Don't use it in dairy barns or poultry houses. 3. Space sprays of pyrethrum or activated pyrethrum such as pyrenone or pyrexcel will do an excellent job of controll ing flies in enclosed bams and buildings. These chemicals can also be sprayed directly on ani mals to control horn and stable flies. Heavy infestations of- horn and stable flies may need ex tensive use of space sprays for good control. 4. Poison baits usually give good results, even in places where it's hard to practice good sanitation. You can buy a mal athion, dipterex, or diazinon solid bait that can be scattered thinly over barn floors. Or, you can make your own bait by thoroughly mixing 5 teaspoonfuls of 50 per tent mal athion concentrate in one pint of white corn syrup. Paint this mixture on fly roosting surfaces and along the walls of the barn about 3 inches above the floor. Air Tour Reset Sunday, 9 a. m. Browns Airport Second annual Soil Conser vation Air Tour, originally set for Sept 13, has been postponed until next Sunday, Sept. 18, at Weeping Water. This was an nounced after the district board made a decision on a recommen dation by the manager of the Weeping Water airport. Dusty conditions at the airport which might create a safety hazard during heavy use of the field, was given as a reason. Rides are free during the Air Tour, opening at 9 a.m. Sunday. A total of 140 persons who took rides last year were so en thusiastic about seeing their farms from the air that it is ex pected that a greater number of conservation minded people will be on hand this year Flights will be made through out the day. Reservations are not required. Minors must be accompanied by parents or legal guardian to give written consent. Local owners and operators are particularly invited to take a ride and get a "bird's eye" view of their farm and conser vation work in the county. Nebraska Corn j Worst Injured This Summer After September, first, the yield of the U. S. corn crop is not much affected by rain or high temperatures. It's pretty well set for better or for worse. And this year it's worse. High temperatures, starting about July 25th and burning through August, with only scattered showers cut back prospects for com and soybeans almost every where. Particularly in the western third of the Corn Belt where subsoil moisture was low, these two crops were badly hurt. Missouri was state damaged most in last year's drouth, but this year Nebraska claims that dubious honor. Nebraska's corn crop has been cut to less than half of normal. Many total fail ures are reported there -with corn in such fields falling over like dried grass, before tassels or ears were formed. Feedimr value of such fields is equiva lent to dried grass, and cattle are being turned in to get what they can. Finding fields good enough to put in silos is a prob lem in many Nebraska, areas. The only good corn in Nebras ka is in irrigated fields, and even in some of those fields ex cessive heat has damaged polli nation. Kansas, too, , has lost most of its com crop due to heat. Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Michigan will have a corn crop not over three-fourths of normal. Only states near normal will be In diana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and the southeastern states, where early planted corn was excellent and late corn only fair.

NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, September 12, 1955 - PAGE FIVE Dry Corn Silage Needs Water Added LINCOLN ' Two important ingredients for making good sil age are enough moisture and thorough packing. That means you may want to add water if you're making sil age from drought-damaged corn advises , C. W. Nibler, extension dairyman at the University of Nebraska. He says fodder crops with at least half of the leaves still green should make good silage without adding water, If all the leaves are dry but the stalks still contain some juice you'll need to add 120 to 240 gallons of water to each ton of fodder. If the stalks are dry but still pliable not brittle add 240 to 360 gallons of water per ton. Dry stover will take about 480 gallons of water per ton of ma terial to make silage. " Americans had slightly less personal income in June than in May, but the figures were near record levels wrere above j figures for last year. The World Bank reports $24, 700,000 profit for year.

August 1 predection of 3,500,000,000 bushels. It is not expected to even equal last year's crop of 2,900,000,000 bushels, but ' to oe somewhat below that figure. Soybeans, too, have been dam aged, but not nearly as badly as com. Soybeans can withstand more heat than corn with less yield reduction. Illinois, the biggest soybean producing state, expects a good crop on a big acreage. In states west of the Mississippi, yields will be cut back some, but the U. S. will pro duce one of its largest crops. Maturity of both corn and beans is ahead of normal, and there is very little prospect of any loss by frost. DISREGARD WARNING : GETS HURT LOS ANGELES, Cal.
