Suggestions on Making Jelly.
Failure in making good jelly is
often due to the amount of sugar
added to the fruit juice. Three-
fourths cup of sugar per cup of fruit
is about the right proportion, accord
ing to the Nebraska Agricultural Col
lege. Too much sugar makes a soft,
syrupy jelly; too little sugar results
in a tough, poorly Havored product.
Both cane and beet sugar give satis
factory results. If over-ripe fruit is
used, one tablespoon lemon juice may
be added to each cup of fruit juice
just uetcre combining ine sugar, nus
improves the flavor, texture and
clearness.
Rapid boiling produces a clear
jelly. Long heating destroys the
pectin or jellying power of the juice.
A large flat bottomed kettle is bet
ter than a deep one. The mixture is
stirred until the sugar is dissolved,
then boiled rapidly until the juice
sheets off the spoon. Another test is
the simaltaneous formation of two
two drops, broad at the base, on the
side of the tablespoon.
not be done until in August, Septem
ber and October.
Indications point toward a higher
price for the apples in orchards this
fall than received last year, Hoppert
declared. The southern crop this
year is light and the Nebraska crop
is much lighter than usual, causing
the supply to be relatively low. It is
expected that the crop over the Unit
ed States as a whole will be but 50
per cent normal.

FAEMEES TO DEMONSTRATE
Chicago, July 3rd. Agricultural
America has prepared to stage Mon
day, under the auspices of the Amer
ican farm bureau federation, a gigan
tic Independence day celebration in
10,000 farm communities. E. A. O'
Xeil, president of the federation, sail
farmers will be urged "to organize
more compactly for independence
from economic tyrannies that long
have obstructed the advance of the
nation's basic industry, agriculture."
The nationwide farm bureau dem
onstration, O'Xeil said, has been of
ficially recognized by the United
States George Washington bicenten
nial commission. Large turnouts at
the various gatherings are indicated,
O'Xeil said, and in some places esti
mates or attendance exceed 25.000.
In many communities the farm bu
reau members have joined with busi
ness groups in the towns. The dem
onstrations will take varied forms in
the different communities At many of
them men prominent in national agri
cultural circles will speak.
In Illinois, O'Xeil said, many coun
ty groups are planning hill bonfires
at which effigies representing "low
farm prices," "unjust taxes," "pois
onous propaganda" and other ene
mies" of agriculture will be burned.
Nebraska's Apple Crop.
Nebraska's 1932 apple crop wiil
be considerably lighter than last
vear. K. 11. Ilonnert. extension Horti
culturist at the College of Agricul
ture, eleclared today following his
return from the fruit growing sec
tion of southeastern Nebraska. How
ever, Hoppert believes the producers
will receive a higher price for their
apples this fall than they did last
year.
Hoppert inspected orchards around
Nebraska City, Shubert, Union, Au
burn and Brow nville, on the trip and
found the crop very spotted. The
crop appears to be the heaviest
around Peru and Julian with the ex
ception of the winesap variety. The
unfavorable weafher conditions this
spring combined with the heavy crop
of last year are factors causing the
reduced winesap yield.
Scab has also been a factor in re
ducing the yields of the apples. The
scab got on the stems of the young
apples early in the season and caused
the dropping to be heavier than
usual. Hoppert says the scab is
heavier than any year since 1916,
due chiefly to the wet weather this
spring.
Grimes and Jonathans are expect
ed to be among the highest yielding
varieties in the southeastern terri
tory this year. Black Twig, however,
is another that may produce a heavy
crop. Duchess, an early apple, will
yield but a light crop. Some orchard
ists are beginning to harvest the
largest of the Duchess apples for the
early market in thinning out the
crop on the trees. Most ot ine Har
vesting of the other varietties wiil
Plant Wheat on Fly Safe Date.
Nebraska farmers who attended
the annual agronomy field day at the
College of Agriculture in Lincoln
Tuesday found by visiting the cxper
tal fields that the planting of
w inter wheat on fly safe date or im
mediately thereafter is a paying
practice. Experiments conducted
with plantings of winter wheat at
different dates during the past eight
years brought this fact out.
Though th wheat producer is up
against a problem in determining the
time of planting wheat, undue de
lay in planting after the fly safe date
also desults in decreased yields, the
tects showed. If delayed for one
week, the yic-Ids are cut down ap
proximately six bushels per acre. The
wheat doesn't stool out so well and
does not get so well established for
winter if planted too late.
The eight-year averages also show
ed that early planting of winter
wheat is a poor practice because of
the decreased yield due to the in
festation of Hessian Fly. For east
ern Nebraska the ny safe date is not
definitely determined and varies each
year although for the experiment
station at the college it is generally
consielered to be October 1.
One plat in the planting experi
ment showed a remarkable differ
ence in the probable yields for this
year. Wheat planted on September
2G last fall is expected to yield but
about four bushels to the acre while
that planted on October 1 will prob
ably make 23 bushels. The former
was heavily infested with the fall
brood of Hessian Fly and suffered
again this spring while the later
planted wheat is in much better con
dition.
A four-year plat of alfalfa var
ieties located on the agronomy farm
showed that Grimm and Cossack
yields the best. The South European
varieties as wel las those from South
America and the southwestern states
in this country had thinned out con
siderably. There was more wilt on
the Grimm and Cossack than in the
northwestern common varieties and
Turketstin. The Grimm and Cossack
varieties are cold resistant but are
susceptible to alfalfa wilt. For that
reason they are not generally recom
mended for planting on irrigated or
sub-irrigated valleys where the wilt
is moe prevalent.
In addition to seeing the tests con
ducted on the time of planting and
alfalfa variety tests, te farmers and
thei wives at the college for the day
also observed the oats ami small
grain variety tests. Guides were pres
ent on the agronomy farm to show
them about the different plats.

KUSH DIS:aSSED BY JUDGE
Omaha. Thomas J. Kush, thirty.
Omaha, wa3 dismissed by District
Judge Ithoades Tuesday after a hear
ing on charges of aiding the delin
quency of a minor, Frank Bault, six
teen, Tacoma, Wash.
Bault several weeks ago told po
lice that Kuih had offered him $100
to kill Mrs. Kush. After police had
arrested Kush, Bault said he had had
no intention of killing Mrs. Kush
even if Kush Lad given him the $100.
Kush told police he had given
Bault sixty cents for food and made
the "offer" as a Joke to test tho
youth's reaction. Julge Rhoades, af

was no probable cause for Kush mak
ing such an offer and dismissed the
case. Bault will be sent home to
