The borer overwinters in the lilac stem, so infested stems should be cut out and burned now, before adult borer moths emerge to lay eggs. There is no sure control of bor ers, but applications of an insect icide to lilac stems may help pro tect them through the summer, Roselle reports. DDT 50 per cent wettable powder can be us ed at the rate of six level table spoons per gallon of water as a spray. Several treatments may be applied, the first in mid to late April, a second in mid to late May and a third in late June. Only the stems should be sprayed, as lilac borers never i'eed on foliage. When infestations are noticed in the summer, the borers should be removed with a sharp knife, or fumigated in their burrows with a teaspoon of carbon tetra chloride applied in the burrow After application of the fumi gant, the burrow should be clos ed with clay or some other mat erial. Soil Compaction Soil compaction is an increa singly common farm problem and probably will be especially important this year due to the plentiful soil moisture end late season. That's the opinion of Howard Wittmuss, assistant professor of agricultural engineering at the University of Nebraska. Because of the late season, he thinks many farmers may feel it imper ative to till the soil before it is dry enough. Constant use of heavy machin ery in farming operations tends to pack certain types of soil into unproductive hardpans or to form hard layers of soil just be low plow depth. These reduce a soil's ability to absorb water at the surface and decrease per meation of moisture into the low er levels. In some cases it also restricts normal root develop ment in planted crops. Once soils become compacted, the Impermeable layers must be broken up by growing deep root ed crops, subsoiling or deep till age. Though some farm operat ors and soil scientists have found subsoiling or deep tillage effect ive in increasing yields, it is still a hit-or-miss affair, according liam Klemme and Steve of Mur ray, Mr. and Mrs. Orey Saur eg of Ashland and Mr. and Mrs. John Beck.

Unusually not en ough is known about the physi cal condition of the subsoil to make certain that the process will be beneficial or profitable. In an effort to reduce soil com paction, L. W. Hurlbut, chair man of the department of agric ultural engineering at the college and Wittmuss have developed a system of minimum tillage. Last year they produced corn with only three field operations planting, cultivating and harvest ing. Under this system, the soil structure was greatly improved and yields were as high as could be expected under conventional practices. According to Witt muss, this work will be expand ed this year. Prevention is the best way to deal with soil compaction, Wittmuss says. Here are several tips he offers for avoiding this difficult problem. 1. Don't carry out machine op erations while the soil Is wet. Damage is frequently done short ly after rainy spells, when farm ers become alarmed about the lateness of the season or vigor ous growth of weeds in cultiv ated crops. 2. Develop a minimum tillage system tilling the soil as little as possible. This requires judg ment on the part of the operat ors but county agents can offer advice about minimum tillage methods adapted to your area. In some cases, the ground may be tilled once and the rest of the soil preparation left to natural processes such as freezing and thawing, or wetting and drying. Or seed may be planted in new ly tilled ground and weed growth handled with pre-emergence and post-emergence sprays. 3. Build soil's resistance to compaction by adding to its or ganic matter content through ro tation with grass or pasture crops. Cover crops can be grown in off seasons and turned under as green manure before cultivat ed crops are planted. For those who already have compacted soil, research is slow ly developing machinery and oth er means to meet the problem more effectively, under varying conditions. More attention to this problem is needed, says Witt muss, if we are to avoid perman ent and serious injury to some of our best soils. Grassed Waterways Now is the time to check, re pair and maintain your grassed waterways, states Clarence Sch madeke. Cass County Agent. Early spring freezing and thaw ing damages many waterways. This is first indicated by a small ditch cutting down through the waterway. With the coming of spring and summer rains, these small ditches enlarge very quick ly and if not repaired immed iately, will do much damage. If the ditches arp relatively small, a manure loader, a spade or shovel, a few chunks of sod and a little labor can mend the damage in a short time. Place the chunks of sod from 5 to 10 feet apart and tramp them in place or run over them with the rear tractor wheel. Grass is similar to people it likes to eat. Fertilizing gras sed waterways with barnyard manure at the rate of 5 to 8 tons per acre or with commercial fertilizer as soon as possible is recommended. Clarence Schm adeke. County Agent. Doings In Police Court- At Weekend Liquor seemed the theme at the weekend in the police court with a number of the cases post poned until later date for hearing-Francis L. Savage was char ged with operating a motor ve hicle under the influence of al coholic liquor. He entered a plea of not guilty and was released under bond of $150 for hearing May 2nd. Albert Block and Gordon Block were both charged with intox ication in the court and each were fined $10 and costs of $14 each. The long pending case of Ray Michaelson, charged with reck less driving came on for hearing and a fine of $50 and costs or $54 assessed. Frank E. Krvanek was char ged with operating a motor ve hicle while under the influence of alcoholic liquor. He was re leased on bond of $150 for hear ing April 28. Game Birds Had A Good Winter Nebraska's pheasants and qu ail came through the winter in pretty good shape, reports M. O. Steen, Game Commission direc tor. There were some lo.-ses, he pointed out, during the heavy snows in western and south-central Nebraska, but not serious losses. "We have a good breeding population of both pheasant and quail, and the outlook for 1958 is encouraging," Steen said. "How ever, I should like to point out that a lot of things can happen between the egg and the grown bird. In o'her words mich de pends on whether the nesting season is favorable or unfavorable." 11 M n f 'l '.. Del No. 303 Cans !verbesi Pure Strawberry 12 oz. ft F $f Jars M: ?
