In Central City on April 29 a rain-soaked show saw Paul Swanson win several ribbons including a blue in the young bull class. Dr. J.M.D. Weldon advises applying 40 pounds of available nitrogen to small grains now for quick results with ammonium nitrate or urea, and notes it may require another split application. He also says phosphorus fertilizer is too late. A survey finds 20 percent of farm wheat and higher in country elevators contaminated with rodent and bird excreta, mainly in the southeast, with sanitation and control urged. FDA rules deem contamination not serious and no samples exceeded tolerances for weevil.
