You can see them, along with wide-eyed Texas longhorns and ant- lered elk, at the Fort Niobrara Game Refuge, five miles northeast of Valentine. (Game Commission photo). Herd of Longhorns Roams Fort Niobrara Game Refuge "Shades of the Texas Trail, Chester, it's a longhorn!" You' re right, pardner, it's a whole herd of the critters. They're roaming the 20,000-acre range of the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge, operated by the Fish and Wildlife Service, is five miles northeast of Valentine on State Highway No. 12. Along with the honest-injun longhorns, herds of shaggy buf falo, and magnificent elk graze the rolling grasslands along the Niobrara River. The longhorns make up the second largest government herd in the United States. Refuge visitors can always be sure of seeing any of these priz ed species that once graced the Nebraska range. Main-herd buf falo are prone to sticking their tails in the air and galloping over, the plains at the sight of strangers. But several buffalo, longhorns, and elk are kept near the main refuge buildings for easy viewing. Refuge Manager Howard Woon says that the herds are thinned annually to the size that can be supported by the acreage of grazing land. Sur plus animals are either sold or butchered. Arthur Godfrey is a mong those who have purchased young buffalo from the refuge to start private herds.

THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, August 18, 1960 Section B PAOE FIVE Farmers Urged To Continue Spraying for Corn Rootworms LINCOLN Farmers In areas of south central Nebraska where corn rootworm beetles are pre sent in large numbers should continue control practices of spraying DDT. This recommendation comes from Robert E. Roselle, Exten sion entomologist at the Uni versity of Nebraska, who says that conditions this season make it advisable to control adult beetles. The black and yellow striped beetles, about '.i inch long, feed on corn leaves after emergence, then on pollen and silks after the corn tassels. Two benefits can be expected from applying controls now, Ro selle stated. 1. Reduction of larvae next spring. 2. More effective pollination by reduction of damage to silks. Since rootworm beetles are active until late fall, depositing eggs over a long period, larvae can be reduced greatly by con trolling the beetles during the next week, Roselle explained. While perhaps the greatest re duction of larvae next spring can be achieved by spraying im mediately, egg-laying can be re duced significantly by spring on Into August and early Septem ber, he emphasized. Research conducted by Uni versity of Nebraska entomolo gists in 1946-47 revealed good re sults through spraying after August 15 to control adults corn rootworm beetles. DDT is the only material re commended for control of boot ies at this time. Two to three quarts of 25 per cent DDT emul sifiable concentrate in two gal lons of water per acre, applied by air, is quite effective, Rosel le said. DDT granules are not considered effective, he added. Soil treatment to control the corn rootworm larvae has been considered Mie most effective and least expensive method of control until this year, Roselle noted. "However, during the past two years, failures of all materials previously recommended for ap plication In the soil have failed in certain areas of south-central Nebraska. All types of ap licatlons of surti materials as BHC, aldrin and heptachlor are involved in the failures. "Thi.se materials have been successful for 12 years and have saved millions of dollars. Many farmers have experienced satis facory control with recommend ed materials this year," the Uni versity insect specialist pointed out. The new generation knows nothing of chain letters. It never sent a request for a three day leave, via military channels, to Headquarters. Tacomu Ledger. Help restore vital energy with..
