Announcement was made Thurs day of the four Nebraska representa tives to the National 4-H Club Camp at Washington D. C. in June. This honor comes to one of our own Cass County 4-H ers, James Wall of Eagle. The other Nebraska representatives are Helen Morgan, Lincoln; Ruth Long, Cowles, and Billy Donahue, cf Inland. All four were chosen because of outstanding work as club members and leaders. James is the third Cass County Club member to be awarded this trip. Clarence Norris, Weeping Water, and Henry Sexson, Eagle, preceded him in winning this award. James has packed 12 club projects and the leadership of three more into the last three years of his life. Soon after he joined the first club in the spring of 19 29, he became so enthus ed about club projects that he joined every kind of a club he could around Eagle. He has been a member of poultry, baby beef, potato, corn, rope and sheep clubs. His outstanding record however, is in his poultry club in which he raised from 90 to 95 of his chicks each year. He now has a laying flock of 223 hens which is making him some money. In 1930 James was cn the poul try judging team which won first at state fair, and he was the high in dividual in the contest. In national competition at Chicago he placed third. In 1931 James was local lead er of two poultry clubs, totaling 39 members. The judging team which he coached won first at the state fair and second in the national contest at Chicago in December. One of the members was the high individual judge. The demonstration team from his club, which he also coached, rep resented Nebraska at the National Dairy Exposition at St. Louis where they placed fourth. The Practical Poultry Producers Club, of which he is leader, was declared the champion state poultry club in 1931. Both poultry clubs finished up 100. The clubs have made a total of 471 ex hibits and won 65 firsts, this past year.

Prairie Queens Reorganize. The Prairie Queen 4-H club of Elr.iwood reorganized January 15th for Eecond year canning work. The fact that one of the second year re quirements Is meat canning necessi tates netting an early start so that the girls may do their canning when their parents butcher ' their summer meat supply. Grasshopper Situation in Cass Co. Cass, and all other counties bor dering the Missouri river, contain enough grasshopper eggs to cause possible trouble in 1932. The sur vey of 629 fields in 91 counties in the state was made by O. S. Bare, Extension Entomologist of the Col lege and F. D. Hatcher, Extension Entomologist of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. This same report states that the hoppers apparently distributed their eggs more widely over the state last fall than they did the fall before, but that the eggs are not as intense ly concentrated as they were in the fall of 1930. Should weather condi tions continue favorable through the rest of the winter and during the hatching season next spring, grass hoppers are likely to be numerous and farmers can expect some damage to crops. How serious this damage will be come depends much upon weather conditions and also upon the amount of control work done by farmers. The Cass County Farm Bureau is plan ning to help farmers with control measures recommended in the spring by O. S. Bare, entomologist of the agricultural college extension ser vice. Newspapers will play a big part in keeping people correctly inform ed regarding the situation during the next few weeks. Some meetings and demonstrations will probably be held just before control measures need to be put into effect. Week of Sewing Machine Clinics. A series of six sewing machine clinics are being held this week in Cass County, under the supervision of Paul R. Hoff, Engineering Spec ialist from the College of Agriculture The clinics were scheduled starting Monday, at Elmwood, Murray, Ne- o eim than 1,500 years ago, as you will find at our store one of the most complete lines ever displayed in Plattsmouth, at from- to . Very Beautiful in Design and Colon and for Every Member of the Family Make Your Selections Early! Excellent Liss Don AM PcCsco Corner Firth end Cts hawka. Louisville, Murdodr and South Bend, in the order named. Eighteen or twenty women, who have previously signed up for the clinic, appear in old clothes, armed with screw drivers, oil cans, pie tin, and other minor equipment, ready for the task of cleaning and adjusting their sewing machines. Judging from past experience, these machines will be in good working order, with no expense, when the women return home with them. Only three of the 121 women who overhauled their machines at clinics held last winter, had any expense and this was for replacing of worn parts. Mr. Hoff's experience over the state shows that 90 per cent of the machines can be put into a good working order by thorough clean ing and adjusting. Machines brot In in the past ranged in age from one to fifty years and the majority of them were over 20 years old. Proper Care of House Plants. Fifty-five to 60 degrees is the ideal temperature for most house plants, and 65 degrees Is the maxi mum allowed in the greenhouse by the experienced plant grower. The plants should be watered about twice a week by placing the pot in water and allowing the water to soak through the pot until the soil is wet, but not soggy. The tops of the plants should be washed at least once a week by holding them under running water. All house plants excepting possi bly ferns and green foliage plants need south or east windows and all of the direct sunlight it is possible to give them during the winter. A good soil mixture contains one-half good garden loam, one-fourth well rotted manure or leaf mold, and one-fourth sand. A little bone meal in the mix ture will do no harm. Arsenate of lead is one of the best stomach poisons for insects that chaw the leaves of house plants. Blackleaf 40 or any other good nico tine product will kill the Insects that suck plant juices out of the leaves and stems. D. D. Wainscott, Cans Co. Extension Agent. Jessie H.
