People often become so ac customed to dangerous condi tions they don't recognize the potential hazards. They know , that the cord on the living room lamp has some "bare spots' but do not replace It until baby Is shocked or the curtains catch fire.

Rye In wheat lowers the grade and market value of the grain, the agronomist stated. Wheat growers who are In terested In the top dollar from their crop will not tolerate plants In the field. Growers who can not find time to rogue rye plants from their entire wheat acreage should 'clean up' at least a por tion of one field, harvest the area separately and preserve the clean grain for planting this fall." Other wheat producers may picler to obtain lure, certified seed of an Improved variety and plant it on clean ground fur har vest in 1964, he commented. Experiments at the U of Neb raska have shown that the per centage of rye will Increase rap Idly each year the grain mixture Is planted. Thus, traces of rye in this year's crop could result In a price discount for next year's wheat crop, Swinbank concluded. j Cora Hilands, 91, Dies Here Sunday; Funeral Tuesday Cora Alberta Hilands, 91, who lived at 1119 Fourth Ave., Platts mouth, died Sunday morning.

The couple returned home three weeks ago, but only this past week did they discover "said souvenir" in their yard at 423 North 8th St. Their cats helped them dis cover "said souvenir" one night by fussing in the yard Mr. Hiner went to check on the trouble with Mrs. Hiner looking on. She thought she saw a string of colored beads, but when it began to move so did Mrs. Hiner. After the kill by Mr. Hiner, they inspected their souvenir. At first they were baffled by this 12 to 15 inch snake. It is bright oratige, with bands of orange, white and black; the stomach displaying brown and white spots. After checking an encyclo pedia, they found their souven ir to be a Scarlet Snake, a mem ber of the Coral Snake family, non-poisonous, generally found in Florida. When full grown, the Scarlet Snake usually mea sures 18 Inches. How they carried their pass enger home is a mystery to the couple but they believe it must have stowed away in the engine compartment of their car.
