Easter Bunny Yes, Virginia, there is an Eas- I ter bunny . . . but sometimes, he's a bell. According to the European legend, church bells, which do not ring from Good Friday to j Easter, fly to Rome. On their way back, they drop eggs lor children to rind. Bells have always been closely associated with religious observ ances, reports World Book En cyclopedia. Long before Christ, high priests of the Israelites wore bells as protection against evil spirits. Since the juO's Chris tians have used bells to summon worshipers. During the Middle Ages, bells were considered spiritual things. They received the blessing of a bishop and were washed with holy water a custom popularly kr.own as the baptism of the bell. The bishop prayed that the bell would summon the faithful to worship, drive away storms and THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, StMI-WCE KLY JOURNAL Thursday, April li), l!K2 Section C 1'ACiE ONE frighten evil spirits. Bells had other uses, too, sikIi as announcing the curfew or fad ing attention to the notices ol town criers. They warned of fires and called soldiers to gether. In fact, the power of bells to rally people was so great that a conqueror frequently melt e d down the bells of a town. Carl Vinson, Representative (D..

Do they tend to belittle the Food and Drug Administration and other nutrition authorities? 4. Are they selling a product? 5. Do they make extravagant claims for their products? If you can answer "yes" to these questions, save your money. Then learn to make the best use of natural foods in meeting your nutritional requirements. Richard Nixon, former Vice President: "As far as I am concerned, the last thing I want to do is make a great deal of money eo that I can waste a great deal of iime." Editor's Note: The following story was written by Linda Albin, a University of Nebraska School of Journalism student, as a classroom assignment. How ever, it is deemed to be of suf ficient general interest to be re leased to mass media covering the Nebraska agricultural scene. The story has been approved by Dr. John L. Weihing, Extension plant pathologist at the Univer sity's College of Agriculture. A relatively new disease on the Nebraska scene could threaten corn crop prospects this year. Helminthosporium turcicum is the technical name for it. Most farmers simply call it corn leaf blight. Corn leaf blight was present in Lancaster County last year, ac cording to Lancaster County Agent Cyril Bish. He said re ports of the blight were much more common in the county 1han reports of corn rootworm, which plagued farmers in central Ne braska. This fungus disease first be came evident in Nebraska in 1959, according to John L. Weih ing, Extension plant pathologist at the Universi'y of Nebraska College of Agriculture. "Why the disease became pre valent in 1961 is not definitely known," Weihir.g said. "One major factor was present: high humidity which permit ed oc curence of long dew periods. Long dew periods are vital for he growth of the fungus. In ad dition some of the fungus inocu lum probably carried over from 1960, another wet growing sea son. "Where natural epidemics be come severe two to three weeks affer fertilization, the disease may be expected to decrease yields as much as 50 per cent." According to a report by Weihing, the disease functions in this manner: During the growing season the fungus produces spores on the surface of decomposed corn tis sues. These spores are carried '5 about by air currents and by chance some lodge on corn leaves. The spores germinate and es tablish infection during long periods of dew and moderate temperatures. After the fungus has penetrated corn tissues, it grows up and down the leaf, causing elongated lesion dead areas in the tissues that are parallel with the leaf blade. In early stages of lesion devel opment, the dying tissues usually have a dark, water-soaked ap pearance. As the lesion enlarges and effected tissues change from a dry-green to a dusty-tan color, a concentric ring pattern may develop. This is due to a variable growth rate of the parasite with in the tissues. Weihing said it is the destruc tion of the functional leaf tissues that causes a reduction in grain yield. He said that normally this dis ease is not conspicuous until some time after tasseling. The fungus does not affect the ker nels. According to Weihing, resist ance to this disease has been in corporated in certain hybrids de veloped for the eastern half of the United S'ates. Most Nebras ka corn hybrids have very little resistance to this disease, he said. Weihing believes that the corn leaf blight will not become a very serious threat in fu'ure years because of Nebraska's traditional hot, dry weather.
