Conservation's Best Practice Is: Grass LINCOLN "A relaxation of soil and water conservation ef forts to temporarily solve an ag ricultural surplus problem today would be comparable to sabo tage against the America of tomorrow," the president of the Nebraska Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts said here Friday. Dempsey McNiel, Holdrege, speaking before the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Work ers Conference, likened any stoppage of conservation efforts to "Killing the goose that laid the golden egg." Terming grass "the greatest conservation nractice of all," McNiel called for land which is subject to erosion and is still farmed to be retired. He noted that some cattlemen have "expressed concern that this type of program might cause expansion of the cattle industry." However, he ob served that "grain grown on this land is now a potential meat producer, so reduction of grain supplies would probably offset the increased acreage of grass." He also suggested continuation and expansion of sections of the federal cost-sharing program ACP) which contribute to soil and water conservation. "While irrigation is criticized for increasing production and adding to surpluses, it removes one of the great risks in a busi ness which is full of uncertain ties," McNiel commented. "Despite unsuccessful efforts thusfar to solve the surplus prob lem, we must attempt to keep our production up to maintain our income until such a time as someone provides a better an swer," he concluded. In many cases, the chip on a person's shoulder is just bark. Columbia, Tongue Point,- As toria, South Carolina. Here Saturday Plattsmouth Kes. (22) fg ft pf pts Schultz, f 4 0-4 2 3 M.

LINCOLN If good hay is worth $15 a to n, an average bluegrass pasture should be worth around $2.25 per month for a 1,000 pound cow during the grazing season. The average bromegrass pas ture should be worth around $2.80 per month under the same conditions, reports Dean Brown, Extension farm economist at the University of Nebraska. "If good hay is worth $20 per ton, paying more than $3 per month lor each 1,000 pound cow on average bluegrass pasture in eastern Nebraska would be more costly than feeding hay. This would compare with a charge of $3.80 per head for brome grass pasture." Brown said. "A farmer should pay no more than necessary for pasture rental. If the charge for pas ture is such that the cost of production Is lower, than it would be from feeding hay, the farmer can afford to rent pas ture land." "If the cattle to be grazed weigh more than 1,000 pounds, you should add 10 per cent to the prices above for each 100 pounds of additional body weight. Ten per cent of the cost should be deducted for each 100 pounds of body weight un der 1,000 pounds. "The suggested price com parisons are based upon the assumption that the pasture will not be over-stocked," Brown continued. "If it is neces sary to provide supplemental roughage to cattle on pasture, 1 then the suggested prices are too high or the pasture is over- stocked." i "By the same token, the land ' owner renting pasture on a per head monthly basis will want; clubs are urged to enlist the aid to see that the pasture is prop-! of civic groups such as cham erly stocked to utilize the for- j ber of commerce, service clubs age produced.

Games are at 6:30 and 8 p.m. Tuesday night, Plattsmouth suffered a 59-39 loss to fast, ag gressive Nebraska City in a game played at Peru State Col lege. Plattsmouth had a fatal first quarter in which the Blue Devils were outscored, 19-3, and then struggled manfully and on fairly even terms the rest of the game. Coach John Adkins said he thought his team played well, despite the 20-point difference in score. Ed Romjue of the Pioneers killed Plattsmouth in the open ing eight minutes. He hit just one basket but converted six of eight free throws as he was fouled often on drives. Meanwhile, Plattsmouth got only a basket by Denny Camp bell and a free throw by Rog Beverage in the first quarter. The Devils won the two mid dle quarters, 15-11 as Campbell got six points and 13-11 as Duane Haith with four and Beverage and Dave Albert with three each led. Nebraska City returned to dominance in the fourth quarter, winning it 18-8 with John Moore scoring seven of his nine points. Both teams had foul-shooting difficulty, Plattsmouth making 11 of 24 and Nebraska City 17 of 30. Beverage was high scorer for the Devils with 13 and Campbell got 10. Haith did a good job re bounding before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Romjue got 17 points for Ne braska City, Jim Christensen 14 and Ron Poggmeyer 11.

That announcement was made here Thursday by the di rects of the Nebraska Beauti fication Contest and Sears-Roebuck and Company. "The direct financial aid in 1962 would be in the form of 'seed money' to be used for the purchase of ornamental trees, shrubs, and plants. Sears-Roebuck is making award money available for the 1961 contest. If communities show an inter est and participate in the 1961 contest, 'seed money' will be made available to augment local beautitication plans," said J. P. Plain of Dallas, Texas repre senting Sears-Roebuck and Co. The contest will be conducted by a board of directors com posed of Mrs. L. J. Irving of Omaha, State Senator Otto Lie bers of Lincoln, and Glenn Vie hmeyer, horticulturalist at the University of Nebraska North Platte Experiment Station. It will be sponsored by the Feder ated Garden Clubs of Nebraska, the University of Nebraska Col lege of Agriculture and Sears Roebuck. Principle aim of the contest is to "encourage group action in community beautification un der the leadership of Federated Garden Clubs." Local garden W.

Stockmen Warned About 'Red Nose1 Cattle Disease LINCOLN Stockmen need to be on the lookout for red nose, an acute disease of cattle that is characterized by symptoms that resemble shipping fever. While the disease occurs most frequently in feedlot cattle, it also affects all other cattle, according to Dr. E. Crosby Howe, Extension animal hygien ist at the University of Nebras ka. The onset of red nose is sud den and progresses quite rapid ly through the herd so that usually 80 to 90 per cent of the herd shows some degree of in fection. "Infected animals show lack of appetite, drowsiness, difficult and rapid breathing, and rapid loss of weight through dehydra tion. In typical cases, the muz zle will be bright red due to hemorrhages under the surface skin. This skin later becomes dark .''..Dr, Howe, explains.' "The discharge fsom the1 nose and eyes is clear and stringy, later becoming cloudy and yel lowed with pus. The discharge from the nose also may be tinged with blood due to tiny hemorrhages in the mucous membrane lining in the nose and windpipe." "Red nose is caused by virus. There is no specific treatment, but it can be prevented through vaccination. Your veterinarian can suggest the best nursing and supportive treatment for infec ted animals in your particular farm or feedlot conditions. The cost of this service will be re turned many times over," Dr. Howe points out. Journal Want Ads Pay horticultural and aesthetic de velopment of Nebraska. "Thls is a program that can be valuable to any Nebraska community urban or rural re gardless of size. It is a program that can be yours in your own town," said Viehmeyer. A beautification project's per manent value to the commun ity will make up 50 per cent of the total points possible in judging the entries. Judging will be done by a panel of at least three qualified persons under the direction of L. A. En erson, Lincoln landscape arch itect, i The contest will include three ! classifications: Group I Gar- 1 den clubs with 25 or fewer! members; Group 2 clubs with at least 26 but not more than 50 members; and group 3 clubs with 51 or more members. An- ' nual awards in each group will consist of cash prizes of $150, $100, $50 and $25 for the first four placings. Applications for the 1961 con test must be made by March 25, 1961 and actual entries must be submitted by Aug. 1, 1961. Persons seeking additional in formation should contact local federated garden clubs. Addi tional information on the con test will be made available at : the Community Beautification Conference at the University of Nebraska, Feb. 27-28, 1961.
