Altho farmers may appreciate the fact that seed differs greatly the solu tion of the problem is not so easy, as it is not always easy to get good seed. The tendency toward Grimm and Cossack alfalfa in Nebraska is growing and perhaps rightly so where farmers want seed that will be quite sure to hold its stand for a number of years. There are old fields in the Platte valley, some of which are nearly 40 years old, that are still good stands.' 'An effort is being made to secure seed from these old fields for sowing new ones, in seed growing areas of Nebraska. L. R. Snipes and Jessie H. Baldwin, Coun ty Extension Agents. Laura La Plant at Parmele in a Screen Thriller "The Last Warning" Hailed as a Super Breath-Taker At the Parmele Three Days. "The Last Warning," Universal's mystery special starring Laura La Plante, will be shown at the Par mele theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. It is hailed as an unusual and spectacular production. I From the very acquisition of the story through every phase of the work of production Carl Laemmle's orders that this be made into a special were adhered to on a grand scale. A big price was paid for the screen rights of Thomas F. Fallon's stage play of the same name, adapted from a novel by Wadsworth Camp. It was turned over to Al Cohn to scenarize. Cohn is considered one of the finest scenarists in Hollywood, being parti cularly noted for his scenario on "The Cat and the Canary" last year. Remembering what a tremendous success Paul Leni had made in di recting Laura La Plante in "The Cat and the Canary," Laemmle decided to give the director-star combination a chance to outdo their spectacular work in this other mystery story. He put every facility of Universal studio at their command and gave them a free rein. The result is that critics the world over are acclaim ing "The Last Warning" more terri fying and mysterious than anything ever seen before on the screen. The supporting cast of "The Last Warning" has unusual strength. It contains artists of such prominence that many of them could carry a picture on their own shoulders. On the roster of this production appear the names of Miss La Plante, John Boles, Montagu Love, Roy D'Arcy, Bert Roach, Margaret Liv ingston, Mack Swain, Burr Mcintosh, Carrie Daumery, George Summer ville, Torben Meyer, D'Arcy Corrigan, Bud Phelps. Charles K. French, Tom McGuire, Fred Kelsey, Tom O'Brien, and Harry 5orthrup. Carl Laemmle, Jr., supervised the production.

The principal dry cure for meat is dry salt. The meat Is rubbed thor oughly with a high grade of salt, taking special care to cover the lean tissues and also to crowd the cure into the shanks of hams and shoul ders. The pieces should be piled on a table or packed ina barrel to retain their shape. Six days after the first rubbing. the first cure will be absorbed, and ' the meat should be rubbed again and "overhauled." Entirely repack the meat so that no two pieces re main in contact too long. For best results meat should be overhauled three times. Meat should be left in the fry cure for two days per pound weight of piece. One-fourth as much sugar as salt may be added for a sugar cure. The following curing formula known as the Virginia Dry Cure is made up for 100 pounds of meat: i 4 pounds salt. 1 ponnd sugar (granulated or brown.) 1 ounce red pepper. Salt peter may be used to retain the color of the meat. Uniform tem peratures are desirable for uniform penetration of the salt. A tempera ture of about 36 degrees F is pre ferable. Meat should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated place as it ab sorbs flavors and taints readily. From Monday's Dally Mrs. W. W. Wasley, residing in the north portion of the city, reports the first indication of the gladf springtime, the advent of the robin, I the Joy bird of the spring and whose ' coming in the northland is an indica- : tlon that soon the green grass and leafing trees will replace the banks ''of snow and ice.

The Alfalfa Seed Tells the Story. One cannot study the behavior of alfalfa in different fields in Nebras ka without coming to the conclusion that there is a great difference in the ability of various lots of seed to maintain a stand and to reslBt kill ing out.
