COMFORT WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCE (Continued from page 1 this section) all the people. The taking over of control by the government of all Horace ware houses and elevators and the issu ance of warehouse receipts to every depositor. The power In the gov ernment to conscript food at a fair price whenever necessary to break monopoly, prevent hoarding and se cure proper distribution. CYope A survey of seed requirements and seed supply should be made, to the end that local government may be met by local supply. The critical time for farm labor will come during cultivating and har vest of crops. Statements of when this is needed should be made to the rentral labor organization and ar rangements should be made to fur nish surh labor. We believe the conscription for war of men engaged in the produc tion or engaged in any industry as sisting In the production of food sup plies, should be deferred until there is greater need for men in the trenches" than there Is on the farm. Injury to alfalfa and clover has been severe. Preparations should be made to meet this and not de pend upon buying hay on the mar ket. There is still time to seed sor ghums, millet, sudan grass and such crops. We urge that special efforts be made to save extra amounts of corn fodder which is a valuable feed. In eastern Nebraska or on irrigat ed or sub-irrigated land where there is abundance of water, root crops such as rutabagas or turnips should be sowed up to July 10. Rape can be sowed in the corn at Its last cultivation, or can be sowed alone or with smnll prain for hog pastures. It can be seeded any time up to the first of August. Potatoes The potato acreage of Nebraska for this year will be double that of 1916 with a probable, corresponding increase in yield. We recommend that the crop should be allowed to mature before being harvested in or der that the full value thereof may be obtained and we recommend that the consumer not demand new po tatoes. We find that there is probability of a labor shortage in harvesting the potato crop and we recommend that steps be taken to provide the grower with the necessary labor in order to save the crop before the freezing period, this labor beins necessary in the potato bolt between September 25 and October 15 In the eastern part of Nebraska Where potatoes are not a major crop! we recommend to farmers and Rant-1 ners the state and national publlea-1 tions with special emphasis upon a Study of the insect enemies of pota toes and methods of destroying them. We recommend that the producer of j western Nebraska study and adopt j remedies for the prevention of dry rot and other diseases of this nature which attack the potato in storage. (Experience has shown that Intons pre cultivation Will double the yield! of potatoes. vYv recommend that Special attention be Riven to intens-J ive farming of potatoes by the mow er. The loss of potatoes due to im proper transportation facilities at the time the crop must be moved i has been very heavy. We urge that the railroads co-operate by furnish-) ing cats at the proper time and! HMVing them faster to the points of destination. ' We urge shippers toj load the cars with the utmost dis patch and receivers to unload them with equal dispatch. Proper grading of potatoes lea Ml economy and fair prices to Nebraska producers. When properly graded Nebraska potatoes are of as high a grade as any produced. We recom mend that potato growers form asso ciations and adopt rules for the strict gradina of potatoes. We find that there is a marked in crease in acreage of potatoes in eastern Wyoming near the Nebraska line and recommend that all the ad vantages and facilities given to Ne braska growers be tendered to these growers in our opinion there is no danger of over production in potatoes Ex periments now being tarried on as sure a bright future for the potato industry in the use of the culls and lower grades in making of alcohol for use in power machinery. Beans We advise the plantiug of beans in larger quantities than heretofore and recommend that steps be taken at once to secure additional seed for the present season. We urge that cultivation of beans be confined to the heat of the day when the plants are dry and that special care should be taken to avoid breaking the plants, as it is thru such wounds that disease enters and destroys the plant. We recommend that the university extension bulletin os beaus be ob tained by all raisers. Beans are es pecially edapted to a semi-sandy soil and do exceptionally well upon vir gin land. Inexpensive special ma chinery for harvesting crops is rec ommended to all who grow beans. I.lvc Stork We advise the conservation of breeding herds by retaining the beat anim.tls and marketing all animals not desirable for breeding purposes. We urge the raising of two litters cf pigs per yesr, while the present demand fot meat continues. The stste live stock sanitary board should adopt active measures to con trol such 'ive stock diseases as tu berculosis, hog cholera, anthrax and others of like nature. The constantly increasing price of corn and other grains makes it nec essary to utilize rough feeds former ly wasted. The finished meat pro due should be made upon a mini mum of corn and high price grains. The silo is an effective means of utilizing rough feeds and helps to increase the number of cattle which can be maintained on a given acre age Its est should be encouraged. We advise the grinding of alfalfa hay and other feeds and the chop ping or siiredding of cane and fod ler as lie, hods of decreasing the feeding oit. We recommend the utilization of the grasses upon the range to the fullest extent. Stock growers should sow liberal quantities i.f dwarf Essex rape and rye for fall pastures. We recommend that landlords and tenants centrally adopt the plan of co-operation, using the crops raised on the farms in live stock produc tion as largely as possible, with long term leases. Dairying increase the meat supply stop slaughtering calves. Weed out un profitable cows keep more cows give the cow n square deal by feed ing her better. I'se skim milk products for human food, they are muscle and tissue builders and are palatable. Feed surplus skim milk to young stock. Watch the pasture, supplement shortage with soiling crops and sum mer silage, save the corn fodder, util ize fodder from sweet corn grown for canneries. Home-grown feeds are cheapest. Provide alfalfa and corn silage, stop wasting corn stalks. Prepare now for winter dairying. Don't let children suffer for milk. w.m.i Supply The wool supply of the COUOtry should be increased by endeavoring to increase our agricultural popula tion in the keeping of a few sheep! on each farm and by making an ef fort to secure, for a time at least, protection against the slaughter of lambs and breeding ewes. Wate in I reding Animals at .Market Points The heavy feeding of corn for fill ing purposes at market centers en tails unnecessary waste. This corn Is undigested by animals immediate ly slaughtered. The regulations of the government are such that this grain is thrown into the sewer. A concerted action at all market centers is necessary. This should be remedied by immediate federal supervision. Poultry All raisers of poultry should main tain for production purposes all pul lets of laying age and all suitable hens of at least one year of age. All birds intended for meat pur poses should be maintained until ma tured, insofar as possible, in order that waste products, such as wasted grains, bugs, worms, etc., may be profitably utilized in producing meat. In view of the. present food emerg ency the quick returns from poultry warrant the production of young stock tluuout the entire growing season. Poultry raising in Nebraska should be encouraged and extended. The rat is a destroyer of poultry and a carrier of disease. It costs $5 per year to feed a rat. Exterminate the rat. The consumer should be encour aged to preserve eggs during the summer months for use in supplying the n.-. -da of the household during the winter. Dealers in poultry should be en couraged in the distribution of pure blood by the exchange, weight for weight, or at market price, of such pure bred males as may be received by them. We urge the co-operation of all dealers in poultry and eggs in pro moting the production of infertile eggs by encouraging the removal of all males from the flocks when eggs are no longer desired for hatching purposes. Fruits Owners of orchards should make an earnest effort to control insects and disease pests. Perishable fruits should be pre served, canned or dried. Less perishable varieties of apples particularly, should be properly nan died and stored for winter use.
