The orders by W. W. Nuern berger In Lancaster County and Seward Hart In Douglas County neutralize a provision in a law passed by the 1963 legislature which prohibited police from releasing information about Juv enile crimes without the Juv enile judge's permission. Several other county judges across the state Issued similar orders. . Judges Hart and Nuernbergerj agreed that public interest! would be served by making news concerning youths avail able to the press. "I have confidence that the code of ethics governing repre sentatives of news media will ensure fair treatment of chil dren," Judge Hart said. Judge Nuernberger's order said "it is in the best Interests of all juveniles and the general public that the Information on peace officers' records continu es to be made available to the various news media and civic groups the same as it has in the past." ! Sponsors of the new law, LB 567, said generally they were unaware of the "sleeper" pro vision. Under the provisions of Sec tion 50-125 of the Nebraska Sta tutes, 10 members of the Leg islature could launch the effort to revise or repeal the bill In a special session. Record Set A record 900 plus students en rolled In graduate programs at Nebraska's four State Teachers Colleges this summer. This Is an approximate 50 per cent Increase in enrollment over last year. Dr. Freeman Decker, Normal Board Coordinator, gave three reasons for the booming enroll ment figure: Strategic location of the tea chers colleges at Wayne, Peru Kearney and Chadron. Superior teacher programs leading to the master's degree. And the fact that graduate programs have been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The 1963 summer graduate program enrollment breakdown Kearney, 522; Wayne, 293; Cha dron, 152, and Peru, 46. Kivett Tapped Marvin F.

C. 8wlnbank, Extension agrono mist at the University of Ne braska, j Swlnbank cited Kansas State University research which shows that the last cultivation and the position of the cutter bar which harvests the crop can Improve soybean yields The final culti vation should leave the soil as level as possible, and the cutter bar should be as low as possible. The two factors are Interre lated, Swlnbank points out. If the soli Is mounded up around the base of the soybean plant, the cutter bar cannot go as low as It would If the soil were level. Research has shown that there Is a yield reduction of about 1.5 bushels an acre for each Inch the soybean plant is cut above the ground. Soybean pods de velop lower on plants where the stands are than than where plants are thicker In the row. The lower the pods, the more difficulty the ' combine has in reaching them. Bean pods will appear from one Inch above the soil to three or four Inches, de pending on the thickness of the stand. The University crops specialist said there may be. soybean fields In Nebraska where another cul tivation will be needed. Fully podded beans, he emphasized, should not be cultivated again, but where there Is another cul tivation, the land should be kept as level as possible. Altitude and Low Temperature Trigger Moisture What factor releases the mois ture of the air, acquired by evap oration, over the various areas of the earth, producing life and vegetation? Millions of tons of water are absorbed by the air through evaporation every second. This gives the layer of gases above the -surface of the earth (our weather) Its moisture. As this air rises, usually be cause of heating from the earth, which is in turn, heated by the sun, it ascends Into colder tem peratures. In the colder weather the air condenses and its water capacity decreases. When the dewpolnt Is reached, or when the moisture content becomes the absolute maximum, precipitation follows. Blnce air travels hundreds of miles a day usually to the east In this hemi sphere, absorbed moisture can be carried great distances before precipitation Is finally triggered by a combination of altitude and low temperature. has reached epidemic propor tions. The disease, encephalitis, hit 10 horses last week In Adams County and at least four of the number died. State Health Director Dr. E. A. Rogers says the epidemic Is a potential hazard to human health. But he adds no evidence has been received by the Health Department linking encephalitis with human sickness. Rogers asked persons In the afflicted area to wear bug re pellnnt when outdoors and to make sure all window screens are in place and sound. The disease Is transmitted by mosquitoes. De Gaulle Notified A 72-year-old Omaha Indian. Spotted Back, Is going to be in Parts late next month and he has asked President Charles De Oaulle to trade puffs on a peace pipe. Spotted Back, whose name In the white man's world Is Walter L. Hamilton, proposed the smok ing session In a neatly hand written letter sent from his res ervation village to De Gaulle In Paris. "If you would emoke the peace pipe wlih me," the craggy-faced Indian wrote, "perhaps that would make a turning point in our relations. This could be a preliminary to a summit meet ing between you and President Kennedy." Spotted Back and a group of other Nebraskans will embark at the end of August on a "Sell Nebraska" tour of Europe. They 'll mix In some bragging about the Cornhusker state tourist at tractions while they visit the European landmarks. Mrs. Frank B. Morrison, wife of the Governor, will head the seven-nation tour. 1 occur, Guyer advised farme-s ! 'Additional growth not only will produce more tonnage but also tend to reduce the t itrate con tent ol the forage, he rxolained. I The damaged corn should be 1 har-ested before there is an ap preciable amount of leaf loss. Past exoerience has shown ; that most drouth-damaged corn ran be fed without toxic effects. ; However, the nitrate content of corn in many field., may be high enough to cause poor gains or ; even dealh losses if cattle are full-fed the drouth-damaged for- i age, the University specialist ! emphasized. i It can be expected that the I level of nitra'es In drouth-dam-! aged corn will be higher than in ! normal corn silage because of i the Immature stage of growth and the Interference with plant growth processes when com Is deprived of moisture, Guyer said. "Having drouth-damaged corn analyzed for nitrate con'ent usu ally will be worth the cost. If the nitrates are high, the amount of this forage fed can be limited to the point that the nitrate content of the total ration is low enough to avoid toxicity. If the nitrate is below toxic levels, you will sleep better at night," Guyer ob served. Nebraska county agents are aware of the procedures for sampling and the location of lab oratories that conduct such an alyses. Recent samples of drouth damaged corn have contained as high as five per cent potassium nitrate, compared to 1.5 per cent the level that often produces death loss, and .5 per cent the level that Is normally considered maximum to assure no harmful affects. "In the case of this high level nitrate content, growth had stop ped before any of the corn had tasseled. Corn that had not been fertilized with nitrogen con tained as much potassium ni trate as heavily-fertilized corn. The lower third of these stalks contained a high percentage of the total nitrate of the plant," Ouyer stated. Silage made from drouth-damaged corn will have a lower nl- State Taxes on Liquor and Beer Are Deductible District Director Richard P.
