Best chance for
winter wheat is
early germination
Mid-winter germination of wheat
this year would be the best pos
sible thing that could happen, Dr.
T. A. Kiesselbach of the agronomy
department commented Friday
evening at the faculty scholarship
lecture at the Student Union.
About half of the wheat acre
age of Nebraska was seeded in
such dry soil that germination has
not yet taken place and a number
of folks have expressed the fear
that a warm period following the
state-wide cover of snow might
cause mid-winter germination with
unfavorable results, the agrono
mist told faculty members.
Of course there won't be much
germination in any case aa long
as the temperature is close to zero
or below, he remarked.
' But, he pointed out, many years
of testing have convinced agrono
mists at the college that if the
weather changes and the wheat
germinates within perhaps the
next month and if the state gets
ample precipitation from now on,
half a normal yield la possible. On
he other hand, if germination is
delayed until March or the normal
time for seeding spring wheat, the
winter wheat would not even come
into head and no grain yield could
be expected.

'Hopper report forecasts
smaller infestation in '40
Nebraskans heard an optimistic
note this week in the comprehen
sive report covering the 1939
grasshopper adult and egg surveys
for Nebraska together with a fore
cast of possible infestation in
1940.
Reduction in the infestation as
compared to 1939 is expected, but
the probable 1940 population of
the 'hoppers, which have done
thousands of dollars worth of
damage in recent years to crops
in the Cornhusker state, will be
large enough to necessitate an ac
tive campaign of eradication dur
ing the next eight months, the en
tomologists warn.
The department of entomology
at the college of agriculture has
just issued the survey which con
tains this information. O. S. Bare,
extension entomologist, prepared
the county-by-county summary
which was the result of a thor
ough survey conducted in every
Nebraska county between Aug. 1
and Sept 20.
21 counties 'severe.'
The survey shows 23 counties
have infestations rated as light, 43
have moderate infestations, 21
have infestations rated as severe,
while six have ratings of normal
or below. Bait estimates for 1940,
based on the survey, Indicate a
need for 11,550 tons of mash as
compared with estimated needs of
13,730 tons in 1939 and 15,736
tons in 1938.

Art for country

extension division
Speaking yesterday on the Farm
Facts and Fun radio program Mrs.
Nellie Schlee Vance of the exten
sion division told of the traveling
rural art galleries now being cir
culated among country schools by
the extension division.
Used to arouse interest of rural
students in arts the galleries con
tain 12 pictures.
Included in the traveling exhibit
are an original oil canvas, an
etching and. six color prints which
are mounted on cardboard screens.
Counties using the traveling ex
hibits pay $10 for which every
rural school in that county is per
mitted to exhibit the gallery for
one week.
Mr. E. K. Anderson, farmer and
amateur painter, who spoke on
the same program, called attention
to the Increased interest in paint
ings dealing with rural scenes and
the growing popularity of art
among farmers.
in grasshopper eggs, nearly all
counties have enough to make an
organized control campaign neces
sary and many counties will re
quire more extensive control work
than in 1939," said the report.
The survey showed egg popula
tion in November, 1939, to be be
tween 10 and 20 percent less than
a year earlier but the center of
population had changed greatly.
Excepting Scotts Bluff, Morrill
and Banner counties, the counties
in the western part of the state in
general showed a marked de
crease in numbers of eggs and the
same was true of southwestern
counties.
Six counties well off.
The report itself lists the hopper
by species everything from M.
mexicanus (the migratory hopper)
to Dissotiera longipennis (the long
winged migratory hopper). Eggs
of the two-striped grasshopper
which is probably most popularly
known were generally distributed
over the state and were found in
much greater numbers than re
sults of the adult survey would
have indicated. Heaviest concen
trations were found In the Elk
horn and Platte valleys and loess
areas of northeastern Nebraska.
They were common, too, in valleys
and hard lands throughout the
state with the exception of a few
southeastern counties.
The only counties where little or
no trouble is expected in 1940 are
Johnson, Nemaha, Pawnee, Rich
