Best Time To Spray Pennycress ' If pennycress is a problem in wheat, iarmers should spray 2, 4-D after the wheat crop is lully tillered. The weed begins its spring growth along with the wneat. An application of one-fourth pound of 2, 4-D per acre is the best control. It should be ap plied beiore the pennycre3 sends up seed stalks. Pennycress is a winter annual producing seed very quickly aft er the flowers appear, usually within 10 days. the experiments discussed dur ing the days program according to word received by Cass Coun ty Extension Agent, Clarence Schmadeke, from Professor W. J. Loeffel, chairman of the De partment of Animal Husbandry. Cass County feeders are in vited to attend. "Go Slow" on Early Pasture There is a temptation to turn cattle on pasture when the first green grass appears, but the best advise is to "go slow" on early pasture. Even In the case such as rye, it is better to wait until the grass Is up 4 to Inches before starting 10 graze. Permanent pastures seldom are ready for grazing before May 1, even with ample rain fall. Pastures overgrazed last fall may not be in condition for pasturing until a later date. Permanent pastures made up of mixtures oi tall grasses and legumes should not be grazed until the growth is 8 to 12 inches high. In order to obtain the most use from permanent pasture, it is desirable to set up a def inite system of pasture rotation and follow it from the very start of the grazing season. - Cass County 4-H Sears Swine Program Progresses.

HISMOHT NOTE: That still may bi a limited supply of "3X" numbtrs available Set your DeKalb Dealer N0WI Test Hogs For Brucellosis Did your sows abort or far row a large number of weak pigs? If so, have you considered the possibility of brucellosis in your herd, asks Dr. O. D. Grace, Extension animal hygienlst at the University of Nebraska. A blood test can determine definitely if brucellosis is pres ent in your herd. All hogs in the herd over 6 months of age should be included in the test. Testing at a time when the number of animals over this age is low makes the job eas ier. Farmers should be particul arly careful about handling a- borted pigs or the infected ma terial from sows as the disease is easily contracted by humans, cautions Dr. Grace.

Groesser Home Extension Agent Postoffice-May We Quote You (Continued from Page 1) JbTirr- Schreiner, Schreiner Drugs, "I don't think thwe should be any cut back on post al services. I don't think third class mall should be stopped. It would close many businesses and throw a lot of men out of employment." Mrs. D. II. Grove, Grove Jewelry, "I don't like it but don't kuow what we ran do about it. It means an aw fully lot of money. A lot of this stuff you get through the mail should be thrown out. I am against raising- rates of first class mail. It would hurt too many people." George Smith, Smith's Men's Wear, "Well it's a little rough. It will certainly be bad for some of the men. We all belly ache about it costing so much, but when it begins to cost us, then we holler. I think they should take some of this for eign aid money and give it to the postoffice." Boyd Linder, Llnder Fire stone Store, "I think It's a bunch of nonsense. All they are doing is calling one another's bluff. Summerfield just wanted to show how important he Is. I'm surprised that It went as far as It did." W. A. Swatek, Swatek Hardware, "I don't like it, but if it is going to take more tax dollars, then I'm willing to put up with the closing. I'm sure if Summer field had been on the job he would have adjusted his budget to stay within the money he had and this wouldn't have been neces sary. If private industry was running it, they would show a profit." Herb Freeburg, Gamble Store, "I think it Is provoking. We've always operated the postoffice before. If it needs more money, put it In. I believe Summer field is going to fool around and get our postal department in a mess that will hurt every one, postal employees and pa trons." And so it went.
