The opening day at Camp Opal Springs, the boys lined up in the dining room for their food and received cereal, two slices of French toast and prunes.

During the meal a senior scout, kept walking up and down between the tables with a bottle of mineral oil and spoon in hand. When he came to where Jim Almquist of McCook was sitting- he noticed that Jim was not eating his prunes. "What shall it be, prunes or oil?" asked the explorer scout. And Jim selected what he considered the more delicious- oil. Milky Way Club Receives 4-H Pins Milky Way 4-H Dairy club met at the home of their assistant leader, Vernon Leeds, June 13 with Mrs.

Bit Of Cool Weather Temporarily Helps Wheat Deterioration Week Ending June 16 The week previous was hot, one of the hottest weeks ever recorded in June. There was practically no rain, full sunshine over most of the state and several days were windy. Humidity was fairly high over the eastern portion of state to moderately low in the west. Cooler weather Monday and Tuesday has checked at least temporarily the deterioration of the wheat crop. Some damage has been done and a continuation of the high temperatures and high winds would have been most serious.

The heat wave caught the wheat in a critical stage. of development. At the begining of last week half of the leaves were brown and most of the wheat was completely filled except in a few extreme western and northwestern counties. In its stage of development Saturday from 45 per cent to 50 per cent of its mature dry weight was in the kernel. Normally it would take about two weeks to mature but this would be lengthened or shortened, depending upon whether the weather was cool with sufficient moisture or dry with high temI peratures.

By the close of last week a little burning was in evidence. Some of the wheat was turning white in spots and in some cases a few fields had a whiteish cast. The earlier wheat and especially Pawnee had started to take on the normal golden yellow but it may show some shrinkage because of the heat spell. The upper leaves of some of the wheat had wilted and dried but for the most part stalks were still green enough to function. Cool weather and especially if accompanied by rain would still bring a marked recovery.

Wheat in general withstood the severe punishment better than expected, but if the heat wave returns without moisture, a marked reduction in yields can be expected. Some of the wheat the edges of the fields that had fired showed shrunken grain. Summer fallowed wheat was holding out much better than other wheat. Continuous cropping and volunteer wheat showed the greatest damage. The damage was greatest in Harlan and Franklin counties but the rainfall reports indicate that Frontier county may have suffered the same amount of damage.

is making excellent progress and much of it is as far advanced now as it usually is on the fourth of July. With few exceptions the stands are very good. Corn has seldom been in a better state of cultivation for this date. Oats and barley, while still green, have suffered from the heat wave. The dry, hot weather has forced the earlier heading and short straw.

This is especially noticeable on the soils of low fertility. Cool, wet weather at this time would enable RESIDENCE First time offered- You can have prompt possesion of this attractive, new and COSY, story, 3 bedroom, frame cottage in Circle Drive Addition.

The Cats rapped out 16 base blows last Sunday in upsetting the highly regarded Superior team. As a result of the loss, Superior is deadlocked in the league lead with Lexington and North Platte. Extra fielding and hitting depth has been added in the form of Bob Decker, Nebraska University football and baseball star.

Decker will probably be fitted into the Cats vacant second base slot. t. The keystone chores were handled last Sunday by hurler Bob Manley who transacted business in his area in a better manner than previous Cat second sackers have. Decker has appeared in one previous tilt in Cat garb. He donned a a McCook uniform to battle the Superior Knights in the Cats Memorial day appearance in the southeast team's baliwick.

He currently has been flashing his wares in an Iowa semi-pro circuit. Decker, a stellar performer in his high school days at Holy Name, high in Omaha, was an Big-Seven diamond choice this spring. Sunday's home stand will afford Tom Sutak's crew of a chance to avenge their recent pasting from the Irish. The last tussle between the two clubs resulted in an unmerciful 20-2 setback for the local aggregation. The Cats finished the tilt with a mound corps.

makeshift, as yet been given as to the identity of the Cat hurler for tonight's or Sunday's tilt. A probable choice for one of the tiffs is young Glen Sullivan, who capably handcuffed the Knights in his last hill appearance. At any rate, the Cats at least have a taste of victory and should be a little harder to stop tonight. They functioned better in their last appearance than at any previous time this year and that in itself is heartening to McCookites who demand a winner.
