Fertilizing Will Help Keep Stands Of Legumes Longer Farmers can save the expense of frequent reseeding and keep their legume stands longer by making good use of soil tests and fertilizers. M. D. Weldon, Extension agro nomist at the University of Ne braska, says legumes have a big appetite for phosphate, po tash and lime. If the soil is low in any of these nutrients, then the legumes will lose out and grass will take over the pasture or hay meadow. Soil testing can tell you whe ther the soil has enough nutri ents for the legumes, Weldon points out. If not, top dressing regularly will prolong the life of alfalfa and other legumes in your pasture or meadow. This means more forage of higher feed value. It also means that you do not have to reseed the legumes so often. It costs monev every time you plow, or rework the soil to reseed legumes. The fewer times you have to do this, the more you save in the long run. Lime Is most effective if disk ed or plowed in before seeding. Phosphate and potash can be applied as top-dressing on pas ture or hay meadow at any time. Soil sample boxes and in formation on soil testing and grass-legume seeding may be ob tained at your county agents office. What thou thyself hatest, do to no man. Tobit 4, 14. Low Germination Sorghum Can Produce Good Stand Despite low germination of most 1957 sorghum seed produc ed in Nebraska, satisfactory stands may be obtained if the planting rate is modified accord ingly. .Sorghum stands are determ ined by a combination of fact ors, most of which can be con trolled. Chemical treatment of so'-ghum seed, regardless of its ! germination, is the cheapest insurance that can be secured in obtaining gnod sorghum st ands. In 13 tests during 1957, treating with a fungicide gave 44 per cert increase and treat ing with a fungicide-insecticide combination gave a 69 per cent increase in stand over non-treated seed. Sorghum planted too early in the season will result in slow germination, poor stands and a problem with weeds. While the best time to plant will vary from year to year, under average Neb raska conditions so r g h u m should not be planted before late May or June 1. In planting tests conducted by the Crop Im provement Association last year, seed in soil with an average daily temperature of 58 degrees took 14 days to emerge; seed in soil of 74 degrees temperature took only six days to emerge. Field emergence will be low er than laboratory germination. Tests show that with seed hav ing a laboratory germination of 80 per cent, only 50 per cent of the seed can be expected to e merge in the field. If the seed has a laboratory germination of 60 per cent, the expected field emergence is only 33 per cent. This year it is especially im portant to determine the seed spacing in the row and the rate of planting before starting seed ing operations. It is possible by using the known germination of nut NEB Omaha about 1900 C. H. Krelle of Oakland re cently sent some of his memor ies of Omaha at about the time of the Trans-Mississippi Expos ition in 1898. The places and act ivities that he listed are strange to a younger generation. Many of them, however, can bring back memories of life in Oma ha and Nebraska as it was 60 years ago. He tells of a bicycle club that would meet at the post office and ride down the front steps. (Undoubtedly descendents of the club members are present day hot-rodders). Often the club rode to Florence and inspected the city water works. On occasion it made a trip to Millard and back. The Millard trip was so long as to be an all day jaunt for the bicyclers. Omahans fished at cut off lake, now Carter Lake. Boats rented at 10 cents an hour or $1 a day, minnows were three dozen for a quarter, while the worms were a handful for a nic kel. On the lake shore there were a number of establishments of one kind and another. One was an ice house, another a tav ern, "The Dutchman's," and there was a club house belong ing to some printers. The print ers kept a horse and small cart at their club to be sent, on occasion, over to the Dutch man's for a "growler of suds." At the Trans-Mississippi Expo sition an automobile operated in front of the bandshell giving rides of half-a-mile for 10 cents. There were many Spanish Am erican war souvenirs for sale, and an attempt was made to sim ulate the mine that sank the Battleship Maine. A bomb was tied to a piece of 6x6 timber, but when it exploded it blew pieces of the timber several hundred feet into the air to rain down on the crowd. There was also a la goon where you could take a gondola ride for 25 cents. Some Omaha street cars were double section. They were pac ked full carrying workers to the slaughter houses between 5:30 and 6:30 in the morning. The fare on the cars was 5 cents. Among the entertainments that were available Mr. Krelle lists the old Western League park which was located at 14th and Vinton streets. Parking lots were not necessary for the ball parks then, as street cars would be waiting at the end of the game to haul the fans home-; ward. Another activity was steam boat excursions up the Missouri from the foot of Douglas street to Florence. On the trip the rail road bridge would swing open to let the steamer through. Enter tainment on the excursion boat included music and dancing. According to Mr. Krelle's re collection, the first "cool air" theater was the Palm at I4th and Douglas. It blew air across big cakes of Ice with electric fans. It made the first fw rows pretty cool. MOA RlSRA sis the seed in combination with the rate of planting. As an example, with a seed having a laboratory germination of 70 per cent, if four plants per foot of row are desired, 10 seeds per foot would be planted; seven to eight seeds per foot for three plants; and five seeds for two plants. Much seed planted this year will have germination no higher than 70 per cent. The recommendations are bas ed on treated seed with average seedling vigor and moderately good conditions for germination and growth. With average size seed, one seed per foot of row with rows spaced 40 inches apart is equal to one pound of sorghum seed. Borers In Corn Stalks Covering old cornstalks deep enough while preparing land for the 1958 corn crop will help con trol corn borers. These insects pass the winter in the borer sta ge inside infested stalks of corn or stems of other plants and here they change to moths in the late spring. Cutting or shredding stalks still leaves enough borers for a good infestation unless the stalks are covered by a clean job of plow ing. Clarence Schmadeke, Co unty Agent. Bromegrass Should Be Fertilized Nitrogen fertilizer put on bro megrass pastures now may more than double forage yields this year states Clinton Hoover, Ex tension agronomist at the Uni versity of Nebraska college of agriculture. Bromegrass and other cool season grasses require a large supply of nitrogen for best pro duction of forage. With the good supply of subsoil moisture avail able this spring, most brome grass pastures in Nebraska can be expected to give large res ponses to nitrogen fertilizer. This is especially true on nitro gen deficient bromegrass stands, as shown by yellowish-green co lor and a "sod bound" condi tion. Hoover points out. For maximum benefits, nitro gen fertilizer should be applied at the rate of 100 to 120 pounds of available nitrogen per acre. Early spring application, late March and early April, usually gives the best forage yields. But a late spring application of ni trogen often results in higher protein content of the brome grass forage. To produce higher protein, more palatable forage as well as best yields, the ni trogen fertilizer application may be split. One half of the nitro gen should be put on in late March or early April, and the remainder applied in late June or early July. Established stands of brome grass usually will not respond to phosphate fertilizer unless so ils are extremely deficient in phosphate or it is desired to bring in stands of alfalfa or clo ver. In either case, soil samples should be tested first to find out whether phosphate fertilizer is Is needed on bromegrass pas tures, he concludes. Recession in Sing Sing OSSENING. N. Y. The cur rent economic recession has made itself felt even behind the high walls of Sing Sing Prison. Forty Inmates who are eligible for parole are still behind bars because no jobs can be found for them, according to a recent re port. Under State Parole Division rules, prisoners are never par oled unless they are assured of employment on the outside. The theory is that without jobs, par olees may revert to crime. And Sing Sing is not the only prison affected. It is reported that pri-j soners awaiting jobs and ! paroles in other state instit-j utions number several hundred.

Check Corn Under Loan, Farmers Urged Cass County farmers who have 1957-crop corn of questionable keeping quality under farm stor age loans have been alerted to their responsibilities in protect ing their own and the govern ment's interest. Such producers are reminded by Ivan G. Althouse, chairman, Cass County Agricidtural Stab ilization and Conservation Com mittee, that they are responsi ble for the condition of corn stored under price-support loans. Should spoilage take place, the producer will be charged for any loss in the value of the corn. According to the chairman, many farmers in the county have some 1957-crop corn under loan which mav need special atten tion because of its high mois ture content With warm wea ther coming in, definite steps should be taken to keep such corn in good condition. Producers with high moisture corn were reminded a few weeks ago to check the condition of their farm stored corn periodic ally so that prompt action could be taken by them to recondi tion the corn whenever it ap pests necessray to avoid de terioration and assure safe stor age. A general re-inspection of corn under CCC loans in farm storage will be carried out by loan inspectors during May. Commodity Credit Corporat ments on 1957-crop corn may be obtained until Mav 31. Loans mature on July 31. According to an explorer, a ti ger will not harm you if you car ry a white walking cane. That might depend, we should think, on how fast you carry it. Atlan ta Journal. Journal Want Ads Pay Giles For Accidents, Just No Place Like Home CHICAGO Industry learned in 1957 that. Indeed, there's no pl ace like home -if you want an accident! That fact came out of a sur vey of the National Safety Coun cil of the off-the-job accident ex perience of 78 companies. The companies surveyed, re presenting a cross-section of U. S. industry, were of two categor ies 75 companies employing a total of 155,000 persons, and three with about 132,003 em ployes. The comnanies including some from Canada and the U.S. territories are engaged in ac tivities ranging from manufact uring heavy machinery to oper ating paper mills. Even stevedor ing operatic-'- "re included in the Council survey. The survey showed these facts: 1. Working for the three big companies was 12 times as safe in 1957 as being at home or in public places. 2. Injuries to workers employ ed by the 75 smaller compan ies occurred nearly five times more often off the job than on. 3.
