Topics include loafing sheds, sun protection, exotic breeds, and summer lawn care via two bulletins. Wheat yield in the U.S. has doubled since 1930, reaching 2 bushels.

Nebraska scientists refine grain sorghum stock for better hybrids
University of Nebraska agronomists led by Dr WIM Tross and Dr C Q Gardner, with P J Nordquist, improve parent grain sorghum lines. They select superior plants from self pollinating stocks, isolate quarter acre plots, tag flowers, and harvest male sterile heads for two generations yearly using winter nurseries in Puerto Rico. Objectives include higher yield, disease and insect resistance, and increased grain protein to boost future hybrids.

Consolidation reshapes Nebraska poultry industry in 1970s
Nebraska poultry growth hinges on mergers and coordinated operations. Dr. Bar Gleaves of the University of Nebraska notes large production units of 10 000 to 109 000 hens have emerged, with mergers shaping future eggs and production. He expects several operations between 100 000 and one million birds to form, led by existing firms and new entrants, while 10 000 hen flocks stay practical through automation thresholds. Smaller yards, 19 000 to 100 000 hens, will align with marketing contracts.

Pesticide control plan cited as in trouble in House
A key Nixon administration proposal to stiffen pesticide controls faces trouble in the House Agriculture Committee. The plan would let the EPA designate pesticides for prescription use and require permits for each application via state licensed pest management consultants. Critics fear the permit system lacks broad support, risking removal from the forthcoming bill. The panel paused due to Chairman W Rages absence, with drafting to resume soon.
