News From
C. A. Office
The first carload of nitrogen
fertilizer to arrive in south Mor
row county was received at Lex
ington this week. The Morrow
County Grain Growers unloaded
the 54 tons of ammonium sulfate
in their warehouse Tuesday and
are ready to begin delivery to all
farmers who will need nitrogen
fertilizer for applying on wheat,
irrigated pastures, new seedings
of grass-legumes for pasture and
hay.
The ammonium sulfate con
tains 20.5 percent nitrogen. One
hundred pounds per acre of this
fertilizer is recommended for dry
land wheat. Irrigated crops can
use a heavier application with
about two hundred pounds per
acre as a general application.
While it is a little early to ap
ply the nitrogen it is a very good
numoer oi Kinzua inenas were

Mrs. Alena Anderson is in re

Deceased had been ill for some
months and passed away at the
University of California hospital

Born in Missouri February 12,

was spent in Morrow county, his
family having moved to the Lex

W. L. Copenhaver, farmed for
many years. The family later

demand begins it will be prac
tically impossible to purchase.
While we are talikng about ni
trogen we might mention fertil
izer spreaders or means of appli
cation. Orville Cutsforth Lexing- growth on many of the irrigated
ton, has ordered a power broad
caster for fertilizer application.
It is on its way from Fort Morgan,
Colorado, and as soon as it ar
rives it will be used to spread
30 tons of ammonium sulfate on
wheat.
Other types of spreaders are the
regular drill type of which there
are several in the county. Ground
driven fertilizer spreaders of the
broadcaster type are also avail
able.
I he first move in the cattle
testing program in an effort to
clean up Bangs disease in Morrow
county was started this week. Dr.
Thistlewaite, veterinarian, Bur
eau of Animal Industry, visited
the county livestock disease con
troi committee on Tuesday to
plan for an active program. This
is in line with the county court
action declaring Morrow county
a Bangs compulsory area, last
June.
Plans are to have two federal
veterinarians on duty beginning
Monday, December 13. Two more
veterinarians are available in
case they are needed. The pro
gram will need to be carried out
rapidly and all livestock men are
asked to contact the county ag

Yes Sir,
Insomnia's Contagious!
When Bud Swanson had trouble
sleeping nights, and tried to get
over it by turning up the radio full
blast, he started an epidemic of
insomnia all down the block!
Folks finally dropped a hint to
Bud that he close the windows or
turn the radio a little lower. Bud
did and that was the quickest
cure for other folks' insomnia I've
ever heard of!
Not that any of us object to the
radio, or swing bands, or anything
else that helps another person re

a glass of beer with a bit of cheese
before I go to bed. I can't speak

From where I sit, good neighbor
liness means nothing more than
simply respecting the other per
son's tastea and rights without
forcing your own tastes or opinions
down his throat. And that goes for
Bud's radio, my glass of beer, or
whatever temperate pleasure you
happen to enjoy.
