That's the way it's supposed ing for the new grass, to be on the newly redone gridiron where play- Bill's Pasture Will Be Joy To Many This Fall An Important but small piece of grass acreage got a lot of attention this summer and promises to be a real treat this fall. It's the 120-odd by 80-odd feet of turf at the High School Athletic Field. The field was re-done since last football season plowed, worked, sowed, fertilized, sprinkled and nursed until now it looks like perhaps the best hunk of gridiron in the Twin Rivers Football Conference in which Plattsmouth High plays. Football Coach Bill Hawkins took the field on as his own personal charge this summer and spent many an hour seeing the precious seedlings were sprinkled and mowed. Bill's proud of his "pasture" THOMAS WALLING CO. Plattsmouth, Nebraska Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" Schreiner RexJi Drug PLATTSMOUTH.

The coach says it would be better if the grass were given a year without playing on it to find deeper root and get more substantial. But, he plans to keep off it with cleats as much as possible, practicing whenever feasible on the upper practice field and us ing sneakers when possible on the new grass. People may get a preview of the field and team prospects at a night intra-squad game, Haw kins says. He gives a lot of credit in the way the field has turned out to Don Hansen, vo-ag instructor and his FFA Chapter at the school, whose members did the plowing, disking and sowing. Hansen, too, saw to it that soil tests were taken and fertilizer of just the right kind applied. The field was fertilized four times and the good stand of Supp-hose aos Spuntex Nylons $1.09 3 $2.89 PAIR GERA SPEED $2.98 & $6.95 Lipquick LIPSTICK Roll On $1.50 Sheafter's Cartridge PEN AND 2 - 5 PACK CARTRIDGES 98c grass is evidence of the value of plant food. Right now, the grass is tall for maximum growth and root ing but Hawkins soon will mow it close lengthwise of the field and cut shorter swaths along the 10-yard markers the other way. By the time the Blue Devils take the field against Tecumseh Sept. 9 in their opener here, the field will be marked with lime and will present an appearance that should be a joy to anyone who watched play last year, particularly the memorable Crete mudfest. Hawkins has done the mow ing chore himself this summer (it takes 4 to 5 hours a time with the schools' rotary riding mower). Ron Boardman, a tackle who will be on the squad again this year, also has helped out to keep weeds in check. Hawkins who is also athletic director says the plan is to add a crushed rock walkway along the south edge of the field to the permanent stands. Besides providing a dnstless entrance and dry walkway, it'll be a nice border for "Bill's Pasture." Deer Hunters Will Have Work Cut Out LINCOLN Deer hunters this year are going to have to "go some" to match the kill scores they set in previous years. Nebraska is above the nation al average in deer hunter su cess, ranking above most Great Lakes states and southern states. Since 1949, Nebraskans have averaged 68 per cent dead shots; in 1956, rifle toters scored a whopping 80 per cent. This year the Game Commis sion has authoried 14,000 rifle permits for a November 5 through 9 season in 16 differ ent deer units. To date, 9,383 applications have been received. Only two areas are closed to further application the Oma ha and Lower Missouri units. Bow hunters start afield in less than a month September 10. They hunt till December 31, taking a break during rifle sea son. The entire state is open; any deer, any sex, is legal. To date, 290 applications have been processed. Archers, too, are proud of their state's score. Two years ago Nebraskans ranked third in the nation in archery kill. They slipped last year from 19 per cent to 15 when many more bowmen went into the field. Nebraska's first deer season was held in the Halsey National Forest in 1945. Since then It has year lapse, a hunt was scheduled again in 1949. Since then it has been annual. During this time 62,000 permits were issued, with 42,000 deer taken. In five seasons the success has topped 70 per cent. The lowest was last year's 57 per cent. The largest take of deer was in 1957 when 12,174 hunters took 8,450 animals. Hunting success that 'ear was 70 per cent. Merry Maids Have Achievement Day AVOCA (Special) The Nor th Branch Merry Maids 4-H held their achievment day at the Glenn Stubbendlck home.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Geisler and son, Gaylon, Hays Center, Spare the Mower, Save the Birds LINCOLN This is the time of year when farmers find an opportunity to do some weed mowing along roadsides, waste areas, and soil-bank land. Stop and check before cutting, advises Del Whiteley, land-management supervisor of the Game Commission. Although undesir able, annual weeds still provide excellent food and cover for wildlife during the fall and win ter months. And many areas are being mowed each year where vegetation is not a problem. Noxious weed control on soil bank land is required by con tract, Whiteley said. However, by the time most of this land is mowed, the annual weeds have set seed, and very little bene lit is derived from mowing. Much cover is destroyed which is extermely beneficial in pre venting erosion and creating desirable habitat for upland game birds. It may be wise and economical to inspect some of these areas before mowing, Whiteley sug gested. In Nebraska many waste areas contain partridge pea, Korean lespedeza, sweet clover, alfalfa, and many other native legumes and grasses. These are good wildlife habitat, and they may be much more desirable than plants that will come in after mowing.
