Progress potato variety aids western Nebraska growers
Western Nebraska potato growers can consult a circular from the University of Nebraska and the Potato Development Division detailing growth and storage for the new Progress variety.

The circular, written for agents and the college of agriculture, explains seed handling, planting, irrigation, harvesting, storage, and disease control.

Big Springs gas field adds fourth producer
The George Zimmerman No. 1 well, six miles west of Big Springs, was completed Friday as the area’s fourth gas producer. Early flow from about 10 feet of sand suggests a large output, possibly half the scale of the Reece No. 1, which was rated at 42 million cubic feet per day. Other nearby wells include Bosley No. 2 Reece No. 1 and Ralph Zimmerman No. 1. Superior Oil Co. owns the lease and operates drilling. Dunbar Drilling Co. set up a rig on the Roland La Grange farm nearby. Expansion in Deuel County will draw more attention to Cheyenne-Deuel gas production with substantial reserves already proven but limited by marketing channels.

Friends of Mr and Mrs Dan Campbell invite a reception at Sidney Country Club on Wednesday from 7 30 to 9 30 p m to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
