For years yea, centuries, there has gurgled and swirled past us on its way to the ocean a never ending stream of turbulent water making its swift way to the lower Mississippi enroute to the Gulf of Mexico. In these countless years about the most important thing folks living along this mighty river have learn ed about it is that it is a demon of waste when it gets unruly and goes out to find new channels and that it has to be bridged with strong and costly structures in order that peo ple may get back and forth. These facts have given it a pro verbial black eye in the minds of many who live along its banks or in so-called river towns. But, now, government engineers are proclaiming the possibility of putting it to tremendously good use in aiding the transportation prob lems of the middle west and congress is appropriating money to pay for this great work. Already it has been harnassed below Kansas City and its channel straightened and deepened so that heavily loaded boats ply up and down its banks. Right now soundings are being made below this city, in the vicin ity of Omaha and further up, to se cure data for use in blue printing the task of harnassing it as far north as Sioux City. The coming year will see work done as far as Omaha. That's why the Chamber of Com merce has an active Docks and Har bors committee, headed by Judge Begley, and is making every effort to get our people more navigation- minded more able to see in this "Big Muddy," as it is often called, a power for good a natural advant age to our growth instead of merely the agency of destruction and hin drance to vehicular traffic it has so long been condemned as being. To this end the Docks and Harbors committee has arranged for the en gineers of Woods Brothers corpora tion, of Lincoln, to come here on the evening of April 10th, with their four reel moving picture and illus trated lecture depicting river work and its results. This firm has had large contracts in the south, along the lower Mississippi and elsewhere, and is qualified to give authoritative and interesting data on the possi bilities of navigation and adequate inland waterways. Their lecture will be devoid of any advertising or stock selling promo tion and is given solely to the end of better acquainting people in river towns with the advantages thdt are here waiting to be developed and capitalized upon an undertaking that the government will finance and carry out in the next few years. The American Legion is donating its building, believing that the sub ject is worthy of study, and the at tendance of the public both men and women is urged.

Three of the women's extension clubs have completed the year's work on "Accessories for the House," and for a closing meeting entertained their husbands and children. All three clubs, the Golden Rod of Weeping Water, Center and Morn ing Glory of near Elmwood, have fin ished more than the required quota of goals. The programs consisted of recita tions, playlets, readings and musical numbers, both vocal and instrumen tal. The large exhibits showed that the women have applied a great many of the principles demonstrated. 4-H Clubs. Four new 4-H clubs have sent in application blanks during the past week. They include the Eagle Live wire pig club with Keith Alt house as leader, a dairy calf club of Eagle under the leadership of Wat son Norris, the Nimble Thimble clothing club of Nehawka with Mrs. Paul Murdock as local leader and Mrs. Chas. Green's clothing club of Union. The present enrollment consists of twenty-nine clubs with 316 members. Feeders Day at Lincoln. Friday, April 18th will be the an nual feeders day at the college of agriculture, Lincoln. Some of the subjects that will be discussed are: The wintering of a better grade of cattle, summer feed ing and selling in the fall when the market is stronger; creep feeding calves, ratios for fattening heifers, and results of experimental work at the college. A program for the farm women is being planned in connection with the regular program. A meat cutting demonstration is one of the features. It is hoped that the livestock feeders will bring their wives along and en joy the program that has been ar ranged for them-.

Now is the time to enter the 1930 corn yield contest. "There were 234 entries in the state contest last year and there is expected to be between ,three and four hundred this year," says P. H. Stewart, extension agron omist. Of the twelve members in the 100 bushel corn club of Nebraska, four of these are in Cass county. In 192S Otto Schafer of Nehawka won the eastern section and state when he (produced 108 bushel. Nelson Berger ,of Nehawka, was second with a yield of 102 bushel, 'in 1929 Eugene Day of Weeping Water had the high yield in the eastern section with a 107.4 bushel yield and Lee Faris of Union was third with 104.7 bushel. This is certainly sufficient proof that Cass county farmers can grow corn and to maintain this record they should join the 1930 contest. , . Ten men completed the project in Cass county last year and the goal is .fifteen for this year. Rules for the 1930 contest are: 1. The corn yield contest is open to any person farming in Nebraska, who is more than 18 years of age. 2. The field entered must contain at least 10 acres and be in one piece, but may be a part of a larger field. Yields of corn should be determined sometime between October 20th and December 1st. 3. Yields where the records from the whole fields are not available are to be determined by the contestant and a local committee of two as fol lows: In at least ten representative areas in different parts of the 10-acre field two adjoining rows five rods long are to be husked and weighed and their weight in pounds recorded on the record blank together with the number and length of rows husk ed, and the distance between the rows. If the field is uneven more than 10 of the above described areas should be husked. 4. The scoring of the contestants will be on the following basis. Yield per acre 65 per cent, profit per acre 25 per cent, quality 10 per cent. 5. The committee when determin ing the yield shall secure a represen tative unselected lot of ear corn weighing exactly 20 pounds net weight. This must be shipped to the College of Agriculture where the Lmoisture and shelling per cent will be determined. All yields will be fig ured on the basis of shelled corn cal culated to a uniform moisture con tent. These samples will also be used in determining quality. The shelled corn from these samples will be en tered in a shelled corn class at the winter show of the Nebraska Crop Growers Ass'n and Judged on the "basis of market corn. Adequate prizes will be paid. 6. For this contest the state will be divided into eastern, central and western regions with all irrigated corn regardless of location put into a separate class. 7. Contestants producing more than the goal for their section on the contest field will be given a Cer tificate of Achievement by the Agri cultural College. For each year the goal is equalled or passed by a con testant, he will be presented with a seal and when five such seals have been won, the contestant will be giv en special recognition as a corn grower. The presentation of certi ficates, seals, and reports on the corn growing contest will be made a part of the annual program of the Nebras ka Crop Growers Association during Organized Agriculture at Lincoln. 8. Man labor will be figured at 35 cents per hour and horse labor at 20 cents per hour which also covers machinery cost. Tractor costs will fell 1 Master SUNDAY IN JUST XT DAYS Have You Thought About It? Your appearance is a matter of much importance both to you and to us.

The last meeting to complete the year's work will be held this fall when the flock is culled and the prob lems of feeding for winter egg pro duction are taken up. A similar series cf meetings are being held in the Mynard and Alvo communities. Auburn is to be served with a 22 inch main, The Herald says, "assur ing us of a never-failing supply -at proper pressure. The coming of na tural gas to Auburn will mean the" beginning of a new era of prosper ity. Not only will homes be supplied with this modern means of heating and cooking and all other domestic uses to which gas can be put, but It will be ample and cheaper fuel avail able for manufacturing purposes. The lack of fuel has always been a handicap to manufacturing in this part of the country." Holds Poultry Meetings. Joe Claybaugh, poultry extension specialist, and county agent D. D. Wainscott, held two poultry meet ings last week. The meeting at Ivan Balfour's was the fourth of a series that demon strate a year's successful poultry pro gram. The first of the meetings was the remodeling of the hen house last November, by putting in a straw loft, screen doors and more windows, new floor, remodeling of the roosts, droop ing boards and nests. Mr. Balfour says this is the first winter that their flock did not have serious cases of roop and they got more eggs than ever before. A building bee was con ducted at this meeting where eight mash feeders were built. ' The second meeting was a feeding fechool. The third was a brooder house demonstration. Mr. Balfour Balfour built a 10x12 Nebraska type brooder house with a sun parlor. The cost of material including insulation was ?85. At this meeting the features of the house and feeding and caring for baby chicks was discussed. At the last meeting Mr. Claybaugh led the discussion on brooder yard management and seven chick feeders and an outside bungalow feeder were built. Mr. Balfour again told how he had only lost six chicks since he started them and they are now six weeks old. The goal is to raise 85 of the chickens started and this can easily Auburn to Have Service from Texas Gas Line ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM The Social Circle club will give their Achievement program on April Sth. They will also hold a bazaar and a 5q per item lunch. The public is invited. m31-lsw Great Enthusiasm Over New Line That Will Cross Missouri River Here The residents of Auburn are very enthusiastic over the coming of the natural gas line from Texas and which will cross the Missouri river at this place on its line to Chicago. The Auburn Herald in speaking of this important development for this section of Nebraska has the follow ing to say: "Nothing is asked in the way of a bonus or guarantee, but on the other hand the company will depend entirely upon business pecured through the sale of gas. So far as possible mains are laid in alleys and the gas piped to the property line and meter installed at the cost of the company. "The gas comes from McPherson and Barber counties field in Kan sas, although lines are to be con structed that will take gas from the Amarillo field in Texas. The pipe line enters the state a short dis tance southeast of Fairbury and will cross the eastern part of Nebraska to Plattsmouth. A branch line serves Grand Island, Hastings and Kearney and other parts of the state." In si -FOR- Executor -:o:- Administrator -:o:- Trustee :o:- Guardian :o:- Agent Searl S.
