Dr. Hardin Lauds Farm-City Week This Is the fifth national ob servance of Farm-City Week, November 16-24. The week preceeding Thanks giving has been set aside by Congressional action to cele brate each year the building of better relations between rural and urban Americans. Dr. Clifford M. Hardin, chan cellor, University of Nebraska, provided the Nebraska 1960 Farm-City Week Committee, the following statement of his views of the importance of the goals of the week. "The sharp division of Inter ests which once existed between American and farm and urban communities has been ended by our economic and social pro gress. The designation of a Farm-City Week provides a special opportunity to empha size, not the small differences which remain in the routines of farm and urban living, but ra ther the need for unity in the accomplishment of common goals. "Throughout Nebraska we all share in the task of helping our communities and our state to meet and solve the economic problems which result from changing times. We share in the task of helping our communities and state to become even better places in which to live. "Nationally we have mutual responsibilities in the further development of a strong and vib rant America so that our demo cratic philosophy can grow in vigor as an inspiring and effec tive force in the cause of free- Can Frosted Alfalfa Be Safely Pastured dom everywhere." "The achievement of these ob jectives begins at our local levels on our farms and in the com munities of which they are now such an important part. A Farm City Week, given proper direc tion and wide participation, can be worthwhile in meeting the great challenges we face." CROWING POPULATION Lenoir, N. C.

Call Your News And Social Items tD 241 LINCOLN Some hazard from bloat is still likely to be present when pasturing alfalfa, even after a severe freeze, a University of Nebraska agrono mist warned this week. John D. Furrer, Extension crops specialist at the College of Agriculture, said bloat haz ards are, reduced but not com pletely removed by a hard freeze.' ' It is still a wise policy to keep forage available to animals at all times when they are graz ing on frozen alfalfa plants," he commented. This dry material could be in the form of corn stalks, grain sorghum stubble or dry hay. After cattle are turned In on stands of frozen alfalfa, watch them closely for the first few days for bloat symptoms, Furr er concluded.
