APPLIANCE CENTER 717 CENTRAL AVENUE A Page - i a - Apply Nitrogen To Bromegrass Pasture Now LINCOLN Immediate appli cation of nitrogen to sod-bound bromegrass pastures Is recom mended by Clinton Hoover, Uni versity of Nebraska assistant extension agronomist. "Forty to 60 pounds of avail able nitrogen applied on dry land brome until April 1, should give good response -If timely rains occur," Hoover said. "A mid-June application at about the same rate Is deslreable Jf farmrs plan to cut some of their bromegrass for hay." Nitrogen In amounts of 80 100 pounds are recommended where moisture is adequate or where irrigation Is used. The applications may be split with some put on now and the re mainder added in late May or early June, Hoover stated. "Cattle should be kept off the pasture for a least a week after application as the nitrogen may poison the animals," he said. If farmers plan to harvest a seed crop, about 60 pounds of available nitrogen should be ap plied now or in April where moisture condtitlons are favor able. Hoover recommends soil test ing for phosphorous needs on all bromegrass pasture lands and especially if an alfalfa brome mixture is grown.

High Corn Yields Can Mean Increase In Nitrogen Needs LINCOLN A high yield of corn and the complete use of last year's nitrogen supply means an increase in nitrogen requirements this year, Clinton Hoover, University of Nebraska . assistant extension agronomist, says that as we de mand higher yields and increase total production we also Increase the need for plant food. More nitrogen will have to be applied to fill these requirements Hoover said.

High Producing Herds Give More Financial Return LINCOLN Cows in high pro ducing herds returned three times as much income as did cows in low producing herds dur ing 1956 in the Jefferson Dairy Herd Improvement Association. Members culled 142 cows from their herds during the year in achieving records averaging 10,117 pounds of milk and 401 oounds of butterfat per cow, re- oorts C. W. Nibler. extension dairyman at the University of Nebraska. Eleven per cent of the herds averaged more than 450 pounds of butterfat per cow and 30 per cent produced between 400 and 450 pounds.

Annual Easter Seal Drive Is Underway The 1957 Easter Seal cam paign is underway in Nebraska with conclusion scheduled for April 21, it has been announ ced by Victory D. Smith Omaha, state president of the Nebraska Society for Crippled Children. The annual appeal is expected to be the most extensive in the history of the Nebraska Society for Crippled Children. Easter Seals were mailed to 341,000 Ne braska homes during the week preceding the opening of the appeal. "The campaign will give resi dents throughout Nebraska an opportunity to contribute funds for maintaining and expanding services badly needed to help crippled children and adults", Smith said. "The support of each town in every area will be need ed to maintain the high stand ards of service, traditional of the Society." Approximately 90 per cent of the funds raised during the an nual Easter Seal campaign fi nances services within the state where raised. The remainder goes to help support a national program of service, education and research. 4-H, Conservation and and Related Activities Published Every . .... - i. u Creep-Feeding Lambs Is Aid To Price Hike LINCOLN Sheepmen can take advantage of seasonally higher lamb prices by creep feeding their lambs for market ing at the Omaha Lamb and Wool Show May 23. That is the opinion of Ted Doane, extension animal hus bandman at the University of Nebraska, who says spring lambs marketed before June 1, normally bring higher prices than those marketed later. In addition, lambs are off the farm before parasites and hot weath er. Lambs to be marketed before or during June should not be turned to pasture. Although no other feed quite equals milk, even more rapid gains may" be obtained with the addition of creep feeding. Lambs may be creep-fed grain and leafy alfal fa hay. After the pasture season ar rives, the lambs may be per mitted to nurse twice dally or turned with the ewes only at night. About 125 to 150 pounds of creep feed will produce 100 additional pounds of gain on the lambs. In addiion, they will be ready for marketing as much as a month earlier compared to those not creep-fed. A complex feed is not neces sary for lambs if the ewes pro duce a plentiful supply of milk. Ewes may be fed shelled or cracked corn or a mixture of corn and oats. If flocks have a large number of twin lambs or poor milking ewes, a more complex creep ration for the lambs may give greater gains. Some Farmers Arc Eligible For Aid In Feed Program LINCOLN Farmers ODeratine in drought disaster areas may be eligible for the emergency feed relief program, according to Everett Peterson, extension ag ricultural economist at the Uni versity of Nebraska. After farmers have been ap proved for aid they can obtain feed grain for $1.50 per huiv dredweight under market price. The feed can be used only for foundation herds such as beef breeding herds, dairy cat tle, and flocks of ewes. It can not be fed to poultry, hoes. feeder cattle or feeder lambs. Additional information can be obtained from the countv Ex tension office or the county Ag ricultural Stabilization and Con servation committee. Cattle Raisers Are Warned Of Dysentery A seasonal warning against the dangers of winter dysentery in cattle herds was issued to day by the American Founda tion for Animal Health. This condition appears to be growine more serious each vpnr the foundation reports, with the next two months marking the peak season for outbreaks, es pecially In cattle which have been housed most of the winter. While this disease is seldom fatal, the foundation points out severe economic lnssps in thn form of reduced milk produc tion oiten occur. In a typical outoreak, the first sign of trou ble usually Is mild scours in one or two animals. However, within 24 hours, a majority of the herd may be affected and milk production mav rirnn hv one-half. An immediate dintmnKis is needed, the foundation savs. he cause winter dysentery may be easily confused with other con ditions SUCh as cncclHinsIs Tf proper veterinary treatment is proviaea, tne course of the di sease may be limited to three to seven days. Untreated out breaks often last two weeks or more; Preventive and control mea sures Should inclllrip nvniriin-r sudden changes in ration, re duction Of fopd infalro at iho first signs of trouble, and bar ring visitors from feed alleys. Good success success In combat ing winter dysentery has been reported by many veterinarians especially when treatment Is started early In the course of the disease.

' i ' . . - .,.. , Manure, Soil Test Help In Farming Land After Leveling LINCOLN Large applications of manure and soil testing are good practices to follow when beginning to farm subsoil ex posed after land-leveling. Clinton Hoover, University of Nebraska extension agronomist says much organic mater must be added through manure or green manure crops to the ex posed subscdl if good yields are to be harvested. High rates of nitrogen are recommended for such land if manure is not available, he said. Hoover also recommends soil samples be taken from these "cut" areas to determine if phosphate is needed. The phos phate can be broadcast and disked or plowed into the soil, according to the test results Mungcr Resigns Game Commission Information Post LINCOLN Robert L.
