It was -a great treat to those present to hear their friends and neighbors and to realize that they were being heard by the largest audience in the history of the world prior to the advent of radio. President Spangler of the Murray Community club told his listeners of the many things Murray has to offer in a short and snappy address. If the standard of community pro grams is held as high as the Murray one last night, there will never be any occasion for the expression "Let's keep the 'home' talent at home and not force it on the rest of the world." which some of the programs of this H nature recently oroadcast irom me Omaha station have provoked among radio editors.

Reports ' Nebraska's corn crop would fall far short of early fall estimates because of its high moislure content were vigorously denied here today by Port'. ' Theodore Kiesselbach of the state college of agriculture. Prof. Kiesselbach has been running s series of experiments on this year's crop with a view to determiniug its moisture content and rapidity of dry ing, and declares that very few bush els will be lost because of moisture. ' "Conditions in Nebraska were more favorable from the standpoint of frost damage in corn with a high I moisture content than in some east-! ern states that reported damage last j October."

"However, in Nebraska farmers have to a great extent avoided the possibility of corn spoiling in the crib by delaying husking until the mois ture content was 30 per cent or less. "Due to late ripening caused by ! this year's climatic conditions, the 1923 crop contained as much water October 25 as last year's crop con tained early in September, and corn shculd not have been husked in Ne .' braska until November 1, whereas ! October 1, 1P22, found corn dry enuf for husking." Many Nebraska farmers have learned the value of arranging for simple ventilators to be placed in the crib as it is being filled.

Ebert sent for Albert at 7 tonight From Fair Sex. "Farmers br.ve also learned the danger of mixing good and bad ears; in their cribs," he continued, "and ' the majority of them are not picking bad ears or else are throwing them away when husking, although in some instances there are farmers who ! are piling up fcr fuel." . .
