By The Old Farm Boy "How's your corn coming?" is a good way to start a con versation among the farmers who come to Piatt smouth. You'll get a wide variety of answers. . .depending upon the condition of the particular far mer's corn or depending on how he feels that day. After hearing this question, and the various answers a num ber of times, The Old Farm Boy decided to go out and find out for himself just how the corn is coming. Sure enough, there are a vari ety of answers. He traveled out by the city pumping station where Asa Kellison, who sees to it that the folks in Platts mouth get enough water for their needs has a small field of corn on the river bottom. There was no sign of drought on ground that has been growing corn for the past nine years without a "rest." The Old Farm.

Finney, who really isn't a farmer at all, but a construct ion contractor - who - lives on a farmstead south of Plattsmouth, returned from a job in the West to find the "hoppers" eating his trees bare. He counter attacked with the spray,' Sunday there were no grasshoppers to speak of.

Gene put 20 acres in the soil bank because of the dry con ditions. Surprisingly, rAs wheat made 20 bushels to the,. acre in spite of weather- conditions, He also has 80 acres planted to milo. " v Asked to make a guess as to his corn yield this fall, he ven tured :from 30 to 3fy pushels to the acre. He also had sprayed twice to control the grasshopp ers with remarkable, success. Some fields of corn are a to tal loss. Others, not too badly hurt may produce a poor to fair yield. Some corn has al ready been cut and either fed or made into silage.
