J WWWV" THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Monday, May 14, 1956 The Farm Corner Cass Farmers Have Until First Of June to Set Wheat Acreage Special To The Journal Cass County farmers with a 1956 wheat acreage in excess of their farm wheat allotments may' take action until June 1 to adjust their wncat acreage into compliance, according to Ivan G. Althouse, chairman of the county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Wheat acreage in excess of the farm allotment may be plow ed under as green manure, pas- ' STOWS' I Troubles?

Any of these methods used to reduce ihre wheat acreage must be car ried out in such a way that the wheat will not reach maturity. Farmers with allotments of less than 15 acres who now have more than 15 acres of wheat may use the same methods to reduce their wheat acreage ' to avoid a marketing quota penal ty. Mr. Althouse reminds wheat growers that a farm with a wheat allotment of 15 acres or less may produce as much as 15 acres of wheat without being subject to marketing quota pen alties. However, if such farms pro duce more than 15 acres of wheat, the marketing quota penalty is calculated on the dif ference between the allotment and the actual acreage harvest ed. The marketing quota penal ty is 45 per cent of the parity price. On farms with allotments of more than 15 acies, the normal production from any acreage in excess of the farm allotment is subject to the marketing quota penalty. Regardless of the size of the allotment, Chairman Althouse emphasizes, Wheat from any farm on which the farm allot ment is exceeded is not eligible for price support.

ALVIN ANDERSON, OWNER Rex Young, Auct. Merle Witthauer, Sales Mgr. Watch For Aphid Nebraska alfalfa growers were warned this week to be on the lookout for the spotted alfalfa aphid. A group of Nebraska farmers and alfalfa dehydrator operators from Dawson County saw heavy infestations of the insects on! a field trip to southeastern Kan sas last week. Since then the spotted alfalfa aphid has been found migrating north in east ern Kansas within 40 miles of the Nebraska line. "All we need is a warm south ern breeze to bring those aphids to Nebraska," according to Lloyd Anderson, assistant extension entomologist at the University of Nebraska. Where present the aphids are regarded as a major threat to alfalfa production, he added. The spotted alfalfa aphid is about half the size of the fa miliar green pea aphid that may be found on alfalfa in the spring, Anderson states. Under a mag nifying glass, rows of spots may be seen on its back; hence its name. The aphid secretes large amounts of honeydew which is easily detected o n infested plants. Heavy populations of the insect cause the hay to be stunted; later leaves turn brown and die. The pest is especially destruc tive to new seedings. In fact, one or two aphids feeding on a young plant often will kill it. ESSES-SB Plan Ahead Planning ahead will pay hog shippers during hot weather. Don't wait till the truck pulls into the yard to do the sorting, says Livestock Conservation, Inc. Hogs sorted out, early or late in the day, or at night, and al lowed to rest and cool off will load more easily and will arrive at market with less shrink and in better selling condition. Keep Comfortable "Keeping hogs comfortable" is one of the solutions to in creasing returns from hogs with out adding materially to the cost of production, points out' Live stock Conservation, Inc. In fact, such discomforts as overheat ing, overloading and rough sort ing and handling can offset much of the gains from saving more pigs per litter, stepping up the rate of gain, cr produc ing a more attractive meat type hog.
