The new varieties include two of hybrid sorghum, two of hybrid corn and two of safflower, ac cording to J. C. Swinbank, Ex tension agronomist at the College of Agriculture. Swinbank made these com ments about the new varieties: SD 441 HYBRID GRAIN SOR GHUM -An early maturing hy brid (Reliance x SD 102) devel oped by the South Dakota Agri cultural Experiment Station. The plants grow slightly taller and mature 2 to 4 weeks earlier than Reliance. Standability is similar to Reliance but somewhat infer ior to RS 501. The grain of SD 441 Is bright rust in color with a test weight averaging slightly below that of R3 501. Be cause of its early maturity and good yield potential, SD 441 is suited to dryland conditions in northern and western Nebraska. SD 451 HYBRID GRAIN SOR GHUM Another early maturing hybrid (Martin No. 1 x SD 102) developed by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. This hybrid matures 2 to 3 days later than RS 441 but 1 to 2 days earlier than Reliance and RS 501. Plants grow 2 to 4 inches shorter than SD 441 and 7 to 8 inches shorter than RS 501. Standability is similar or somewhat inferior to that of Reliance. SD 451 has rust colored kernels that are larger than those of Martin. The yield and test weight potential of SD 451 is better than that of SD 441 but not quite equal to RS 501. Both SD 441 and SD 451 are open headed, tillering types. The heads dry rapidly and the grain threshes readily. Both hybrids should be harvested promptly when ripe to avoid lodging and field losses. Planting rates of 5 to 6 pounds per acre may be de sirable. NEBRASKA 507 HYBRID CORN A new double cross hy brid developed by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. It is of medium height with good stalk quality and excellent ear retention. The plants are dark green with attractive yellow grain. Developed as an improved Ncbr. 503, the new hybrid has shown superiority over its count erpart in all characteristics. Ne braska 507, with a maturity rat ing of 114-116 days, has an excel lent yield record in areas of the state where it is adapted. It is recommended primarily for irri gated production in the central WHEN YOU PLAN AN AUCTION OR FARM SALE! YOUR FIRST CONCERN IS YOUR CHOICE OF AUCTIONEER.

The annual meeting was held In Lincoln at the Center for Continuing Education on Sept ember 20 and 21. Fourteen club members from Cass County attended parts of the two day meeting. The most entertaining seg ment of the program was "Charm with Sense," lecture by Bess Rathman. Her audience gave her their full attention whilfi she discussed and demon strated a lady and her charm. Platte Valley. Parent stock for seed production fields is avail able tor planting in 1S62. Seed for commercial fields will be available in 1963. IOWA 4542 HYBRID CORN A high yielding, double cross hy brid for western and northern areas of the state where early maturity is necessary. Iowa 4542 is similar to Iowa 4417 in pedi gree, maturity, growth charac teristics and performance. Hy brid seed producers will find Iowa 4542 easier to produce than Iowa 4417. Iowa 4542 has been eli gible for certification in Ne braska since 1956 and seed is available. US 10 SAFFLOWER Resist ance to root rot is the major im provement which US 10 offers over N 10. It is similar to N 10 in all other characteristics. GILA SAFFLOWER Gila, like US 10, is essentially N 10 with root rot resLstance. In Ne braska yield trials, Gila appears to be slightly better than US 10 in oil content. 2k Uy For Early Order Discounts Order Before The Silver Milestone, a pageant of our 25 year history, was a most' inspiring climax to the State Council meeting. The an niversary committee shared with us such memorable events as the first bus trip to Wash ington D.C., for the Interna tional Conference of ACWW to our present program of projects and activities. The Cass Co. Ex tension clubs furnished the pro grams for the Silver Mileston pageant. Other highlights of the Council meeting were reports of National Council meeting and Cass County Camp at Cass County 4-H boys and girls attended camp from Aug ust 22-26 at Camp Kitaki near South Bend. Forty-three older 4-H members attended the first camp from Tuesday noon to Thursday mid-morning. Young er boys and girls, numbering sixty-six, attended the second camping session from Thursday noon to Saturday mid-morning. Camp facilities proved ade quate for the group's activities. The main lodge was used for meal service, handicraft and recreation. Mrs. Alma Berner Worms Eat Production LINCOLN Internal parasites (worms I which infest hogs are one of the main health factors reducing profits in swine oper ations today, a University of Ne braska scientist said here. Dr. George Kelley told breed ers and producers assembled for the National Landrace Confer ence that almost all pigs in the Midwest harbor the common roundworm. Twenty per cent of swine herds are infected with lungworms and a substantial number have a third type of parasite, whipworms. Kelley, an associate professor of veterinary science who has specialized in internal parasite research, explained that round worms in the small intestine of swine rob food, block the alimen tary canal and interfere with food digestion. Controls involve killing of the adults before they can lay the millions of tough eggs which Phone 253 2424 - Springfield, Nebraska Phone 488 - Nebraska City, Nebr.

Director of Extension, Purdue University gave glimpses the "Next Mile stone" through slides showing our moving population. Mrs. Frank Morrison presented a charming synopsis on "The Woman's Place in the World of Today." Various learnshops gave home makers an opportunity to visit about topics from "Parlimentary Procedure" to "Meeting the Needs of Teenagers". 4 - H ers Kitaki and Mrs. Mary Domingo were employed as cooks for the camp. Vinyl Mosaic was the handi craft project used. The craft was not too difficult for young er campers, yet proved challeng ing for the older group as crea tive designs were made on the hot dish mats. John Orr, Ass't. State 4-H leaders, led recreation the first evening of each camp and old er 4-H members assisted with a similar pattern of events the second evening of each camp session. Into Swine Profits infect pigs, Dr. Kelly related. New worms allowed to hatch "make a damaging tour of the body before they grow up in the intestine," he pointed out. Newly-hatched worms irritate membrane of digestive organs, burrow into the liver, and rup ture the air sacs of the lungs of swine, causing coughing. In addition, the University re searcher warned, respiratory diseases (colds, pneumonia, in fluenza) contracted while worms are breaking into the lungs are much more severe than they would be without the side-effects of the migrating worms. Piperazine, hygromycin B, and sodium fluoride are all com monly used remedies applied to eliminate common adult round worms, he stated.

In 1961 the women chose to study arthritis, the nation's number one crlppler. Fifty-nine leaders received the lesson material in the five train ing centers in Cass County, The wealth of information available regarding this disease covers its characteristics and therapy. Although there is no known cure to date, various treatments give relief to arthri tis sufferers. Arthritic patients in several communities visited Home Ex tension Clubs to share their ex periences and obtain new infor mation on the subject. Both men and women in the county have requested this information from the office. Peoria, 111. Thugs accosted Mr. and Mrs. Harold West as they walked down the street.
