Ted Hodwalkter of Seattle, Wash., called at the home of his Cool Pigs Will Gain Faster, Specialist Says LINCOLN Modern hogs may be different in many re spects from their predecessors, but they still like to be kept cool in hot weather. An it is economically sound for hog raisers to cater to the porker's whim, a University of Nebras ka specialist says. Don Engel, Extension animal husbandman at the University of Nebraska, notes that market hogs weighing from 100 to 200 pounds make fastest daily gains on less feed when the temper ature is held to an ideal 70 de grees. Pigs under 100 pounds are not affected by high tem perature as much, he said. Natural shade from trees is cheapest and very effective. However, when trees are not available, many inexpensive ways can be devised to keep pigs cool, he said. Artificial, portable, shade structures are found on some Nebraska farms. These fea ture wood, aluminum or old long hay as a roof. White paint used on wood surfaces aids in preservation and reflecting the sun. "Some folks have made shades with the roof louvres," Engel says. This blocks the sun's rays but allows more air movement under the louvres. The height of all shade she! ters for hogs should be at least four feet from the ground. Four to five square foot for pigs un der 100 pounds and seven to eight square foot of shade area for pigs over 100 pounds should be allowed. Water can be used very ef fectively to cool hogs, Engel says. Fog nozzles, adjusted to dispense fine mist (4 gallon per hour) can be used on con crete or in drylot. When more water is dispersed, on the ground, mud wallows may dev elop which are not desirable, he warned. "The so-called sanitary hog wallow still will do an effective job," Engel said. However, if not properly cleaned, it may become undisirable, he said. An abundance of cool drinking water maintained at 35 to 40 de grees F. is equally as impor tant as adequate shade. Plans for the construction of sun shades for hogs and other farm livestock are available at the County Extension Agents offices in Nebraska or from the Department of Agricultural En gineering, College of Agricul ture, Lincoln. rsm ft Ii Capitol News By MeJvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN State senators, after a brief rest, will begin splitting into committees to stu dy state problems over the next 18 months. Then, they will meet in the fall of 19(J0 as the Legislative Council and make recommen dations to the 1961 Legislature. A string of new records was left behind bv the departing Meanwhile, the fuss over whe ther the governor had grounds to demand the board fire Bov ey, was kicked around again. In a report to the Legislature, the board said there were no grounds to dismiss Bovey and he resigned of his "own free will" with a clear record. Whereupon Brooks said that maybe he should have started housecle'aning at a higher lev elmeaning board members. Four days after he took over at the cenitentiary, one of Sig ler's first jobs was supervision of the electrocution of Charles Starkweather. Sigler announced he would re Blonde little Tallie Rose Kerns, seen here with her mother, Mrs. Charles Kerns, was declared the grand prize winner of the Baby Photo Contest conducted recently by Scanlan Brothers.

Grandma gets the dryer. Lucky Grandma. This n That In Agriculture Oats yield in Cass County won't be up to 1958 measure ments. Many fields are infected by a virus disease known as Red Leaf. The cool rainy wea ther in May was ideal for a buildup in population of aphids. The aphids transmitted the vir us disease to the oat plants. Many oat fields are being planted to milo. In other fields where a good stand of clover is established in the oats, the fields are being pastured. Population Of Nebraska Grouse Zooms LINCOLN Nebraska's hunt, ing prospects for this fall took on an added hue of optimism with the report by M. O. Steen, Game Commission director, of a tremendous increase in the state s sharp -tailed grouse breeding population. Coupled with an earlier an nouncement of a giant 75 per cent clmib in the pheasant pop ulation, Nebraska cements its claim as the upland gunner's paradise Steen said. He said surveys showed a 68 per cent increase in sharptails over the entire grouse range in the state. Prairie chickens, he said, also are up about 9.5 per cent. Both species are hunt ed in the state. Prairie chickens, dwindling in number in other states, are list ed as a vanishing species. But not so in Nebraska. Grouse broods will begin show ing up in increasing numbers as soon as some of the native hay cover in the Sand Hills is mowed. Ranchers will probab ly begin this operation soon. Last year, Nebraska enjoyed a rewarding Oct. 1-12 season on both sharptails and prairie chic kens. Bag limit was two, as was the possession limit.

So, since eggs are cheap it's a good time to renew the habit of eating a good hearty breakfast. In fact, maybe a new way to prepare eggs might stimulate the de sire to eat eggs. He is one to try Tomato Poached Eggs. Poach eggs as usual, but in stead of water, use tomato ju ice as the liquid in which the eggs are poached. It's a good idea to defrost your refrigerator or food freez er often. When defrosting the refrigerator, clean the gasket around the door or lid with de tergent water, then rinse and dry. Minimum tillage looks good. A check of the minimum corn tillage plot on the Eldon Men denhall farm was made this past week by your Extension Agent. I liked what I saw. Pre emergence sprays were applied to soybean, milo and corn plots by the agent after seeing the encouraging results of the spray on the minimum tillage plots. A field meeting at both sites will be held In July. Every farm er should turn out to see them. Clarence Schmadeke, Agent. Weather Expected To Aid Control of Corn Root-Rot LINCOLN Cooler weather and some precipitation is ex pected to aid corn in Nebras ka affected by root-rot regen erating secondary roots, with complete recovery in most in stances. This word comes from John L. Weihing, Extension plant pathologist at the University of Nebraska, in the wake of re ports citing evidences of root rot in many eastern Nebraska cornfields. Corn damage was reported extensive in Dodge and Cuming counties. Wilting, stunting and falling over are the principal symp toms of corn root-rot. Farmers can do little to help the crop except cultivate to throw dirt against the stalks for support until the root system can be re-established, Weihing said. The agent which produces root-rot is always present in the soil, but is activated only under certain conditions, the University specialist said. A large amount of precipitation in May, followed by hot weath er which baked the topsoil, pro moted the development of root rot. At the time conditions were right, secondary roots were be ing put out by the corn plants. "The corn plant has amazing root regeneration powers and if given half a chance it will re-establish itself," Weihing said. However, as many plants in affected areas were limning a long on reduced root systems, hot, dry winds in the past few days would have been an addi tional drain on the plants, he said. Independence Day was first celebrated in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, the day when the public learned the actual words of the Declaration of Inderien-dence. CAPITOL CORNER By Rep. Glen Cunningham WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special) This Congress is becoming known as a "Won't Do Con gress." We are in our sixth month and should be two-thirds through our work, but of 201 legislation proposals from the Administra tion. fewer than a dozen have been adopted. A large majority have not even considered by committees of Congress. After an eaxly start which in cluded Hawaii statehood and a few other important bills, the pace of action has slowed. Thus, the term "Won't Do Congress," which is a reference to the un willingness of the leaders here to meet the pressing problems of the day. o Companies in foreign countries are becoming more and more successful in submitting low bids for American construction pro jects. The English Electric Com pany of Great Britain has offer ed to supply Army Engineers with eight large hydraulic tur bines for Missouri River dams at a cost 30 per cent under the low est American bid. TVA has annuonced it will solicit bids from three foreign firms two in England and one in Switzerland for power pro ducing facilities, estimated to cost $150 to $200 million. This is on top of a recent purchase by the TVA of a 500,000-kilowatt steam turbine generator from an English firm. Our $80 billion of foreign aid grants and credits since World War II have helped our friends and supposed friends withstand Communist threats, but our aid programs have also helped these same foreign nations build up their industrial production to a point where foreign firms are underbidding American compan ies on work in this country. This is a reason why our bal ance of trade is unfavorable; why we as a nation are buying more abroad than ever before; and buying more abroad than we are selling abroad for the first time in modern history. It is a serious situation which has many ramifications, not the least of which is the flow of this nation's gold reserves from Fort Knox to persons and govern ments all over the world. o Here are some definitions to think about: Socialism: you have two cows and give one to your neighbor. Communism: you have two cows; the government takes both and gives you some milk. Fascism: you have two cows; the government takes both and shoots you. New Dealism: you have two cows; the government buys both, shoots one, milks the other, and throws the milk away. Capitalism: you have two cows; you sell one and buy a bull. saions-Digg-esi numoer or Dins tain John Greenholtz as deputy est session 120 legislative days, and a new high in cost of staying in session, more than $202,000. The session was the most pol itical in the last decade, at least, even though the senators are elected on non-political tic kets. State for politicking was set when the Republican party chal lenged the election of Demo cratic Governor RalDh G. Brooks and the Droblem was for settlement. An actual recount of the bal lots had begun, but showed no substantial chanee from prev ious results and former ReDub lican Governor Victor Ander son asked the GOP to drop the challenge. This, plus the fact the Legis lature had to deal with a Dem ocratic governor and that some Republicans were angling for the 1960 primaries, produced a session scored with political man euvers. Fifteen areas of government will be studied bv the 43 sen ators in comine months: State election laws. Traffic safety and motor ve hicle laws. State government reorgan ization. The Board of Control system of running state institutions. The brand insnection area. Whether counties should unite to have one superintendent of schools, instead of individual counties each having a county superintendent. Hieher education. Utilization of agricultural sur. pluses. The State Railway Commis sion. State labor Dracticse. Taxation, tax exemption and taxation of livestock. Diagnosis, treatment and com mitment of the mentally retar ded. Outdoor recreation. Fort Ro binson and tourist attraction. The penal and correctional and parole systems. Problems of the aeing and needy and nursing homes. The state penitentiary has a new warden Maruice H. Sig ler, 49, former head of the Lou isiana State Penitentiary at An gola where 3,600 inmates were housed. Sigler, for about 20 years, was emnloved In the federal nrisnn system. ( He replaces Joseph Bovey who resigned alter pressure from Gov. Ralph G. Brooks. Sigler will get $8,400 per year plus food and housing, compar ed to $6,600 for Bovey. The ap pointment was made by the Board of Control. Since 1958, Sigler has been an assistant in the Florida Department of Cor rections at Tallahasse. Sigler said the penitentiary was in good physical condition, had "one of the best work pro grams I've seen" and a frame work of a rehabilitation svstem. Greenholtz had been acting war den pending selection of a new head of the penitentiary by the board. Veterans Affairs Veterans groups stirred up a ruckus over a request by Gov. Brooks that State Veterans Af fairs Director Louis R. Eby re sign. Eby, a Republican, report edly was summoned to the gov ernor's office and asked to Quit, so the governor could appoint someone else a Democrat in the $7,000 per year post. He said veterans groups, who rallied to his support, told him to stick by his guns. Eby took over as director of the depart ment in 1947 when it was crea ted by the Legislature. One of the prime jobs of de partment director is adminis tration of the $8 million veter ans aid fund, proceeds of which are used for aid to needy vet erans and their families. Veterans groups opposed re placement of Eby on grounds he had done a good job for the 180,000 ex-servicemen in Ne braska and that any change would be a "political" one which the law was set up to n void when it comes to namliv; of the director. The bitterness caused by the dispute, some veteran leaders said, would car ry over to the 1!)G0 elections, and react against the Demo cratic party in general and on Brooks in particular. Running Again Gov. Ralph G. Brooks says he will seek public office in I960, but has declined to say whether this would be for re election or the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, the other Demo crat to make it to the state house in 1958, State Treasurer Richard Larscn, announced he would file again for his post. NO SHORT SHOUTS! Plnttsburgh. N.Y.
