appointed Eisenhower Supreme Allied Commander in Europe,

__ * . Ask the Old Farmer: For several
JmL/ years we have been bothered with
''carpenter bees" under a face
board of our house. We have tried
spraying with a hornet spray,
gasoline, a termite spray, and a few
other remedies, but to no avail
Can you help us get nd of these
pests? E.W., Mt. Holly, NJ
Try spraying them with a hair spray, which will stiffen their wings and
make them unable to fly
Home Hints: Use a net onion bag to store the baby's bath toys Hang on a
hook on the back of the bathroom door to air-dry

ATLANTA, Ga. -
Nitrogen availability
under no-till systems
should be judged with
caution if systems have
been m place for short
time periods, a
University of Nebraska
professor of agronomy
reports.
No-till systems
maintain a protective
cover on the soil surface
year round to improve
water infiltration and
decrease erosion
potential.
Research during an
initial five-year period
at the High Plains Ag
Lab near Sidney, Neb.,
indicated that nitrate
nitrogen was 25 to 35
percent less under no
till conditions compared
to conventional
systems.
However, after 10
years under no-till,
nitrate-nitrogen levels
are now equivalent to
those in conventional
systems. These new
findings are important,
Peterson said, because
they show that no-till
does not necessarily
have a higher nitrogen
fertilizer requirement.
In addition, findings
c-iggest that it is not
wise to draw definite
conclusions concerning
nitrogen behavior in a
drastically different
system such as no-till,
until the system has
been in place at least
eight to 10 years.
