Corn Planting Faster than Last Year's Corn planting May 25 was well ahead the same date in 1960, but behind both 1958 and 1959, according to crop reporters. A composite of estimates for the past four years is as follows for May 25: 1961 75 planted 1960 50 planted 1959 85 planted 1958 95 planted Areas getting well toward completion were Northern and Western Illinois, most of Iowa' and Southern Minnesota. Lag ging areas were Western Nebr aska, Ohio, Southern Illinois, Southern Indiana, and Missouri. Moisture conditions were gen erally excellent, with particular ly heavy rains reported from Western Nebraska and Kansas. Kearney, Nebraska, way out West in the drier country, re ported 3.6 inches of rain over the May 20 weekend. The North ern Minnesota and Dakota areas, which had been dry, re ceived good general rains which gave a good supply of top soil moisture, but subsoil moisture was still short in some areas. May in general had been a very cool month. Frost was ex perienced in many sections of the Northern Corn Belt as late as May 23, which was severe enough to nip more tender veg etation. Soil temperatures rang ed mostly in the 50's, warm enough to germinate corn, but not warm enough to promote rapid growth. The corn borer now is always with us. Numbers vary from year to year depending chiefly on weather conditions. The U.S. D.A. corn borer laboratory at Ankeny, Iowa, reports Iowa over-wintering borer larva up 180 per cent above 1960. Sounds alarming, but the key to damage is June evening tem peratures, says Iowa's entomo logist Harold Gunderson. Cool June nights mean few eggs will be laid, so present counts of borers are not conclu sive as to damage. The prevailing cool tempera tures have slowed down develop ment, so that corn will be larger than usual at the moth's emer gence. This will give borers a better chance for survival. This may'me'ana''rather large sec ond generation brood. Changed The ancient and honorable three R's, it seems to us, have been changed from readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic to radio, rides and rhythm.

'Naked' Communist' Gift To Library The book "The Naked Com munist" by W. Cleon Skousen has been given to the Elmwood Public Library by the Elmwood Farm Bureau Unit. One of the most fantastic Phonomena of the modern times has been the unbelievable suc cess of the Communist conspir acy to enslave mankind. Part of this has been the result of two species of ignorance-ignorance concerning the contitutlon al requirements needed to per petuate freedom, and secondly, ignorance concerning the his tory, philosophy and strategy of World Communism, according to the book. The book attempts to present the Communist in his true na ive elements, stripped of propa ganda and pretense.
