Reports of the work done by the farm bureau and extension service were given as follows: Paul Gerard reported on the pro gress made in the use cf legumes and how effective insect control work had been. He said, "In 1921 Cass county had 118 acres of sweet clover, which was generally thought cf as a bad weed. By ths effective use of experimental plots, farm tours, meet ings and publicity, the real value of sweet clover has been brought to the farmers. Today Here are 30,000 acres in the county. Experiments have proved that an 18 inch growth of sweet clover turned under in early May is equal to twenty tons of man ure per acre. Without a doubt Ca3 county land is more fertile today than it was ten years ago. Tho wealth of cur na tion depends on tho fertility of our land and tho farm bureau and ex-j tension eervico have certainly been maintaining this immeasurable wealth in Cas3 county. More land should be put in alfalfa, as there 13 always a demand for alfalfa hay. More hardly and disease-resistant va rieties are being used now tut more acres should bo seeded." Mr. Gerard continued, "I will give you an example of how effective in sect control vcrk i3 when it is done in the right way and at the right time. In 1930, the estimated damage to the wheat crop in Cass county was 30 per cent. Tho county produced 500,000 bushels. A thirty per cent damage would be 150,000 bushels, and at 30c per bushel would be $45, 000. An observation station was placed in tfc.3 ccur.ty and a letter was sent to every firmer telling them of the danger of another infestation, how to keen down the volunteer wheat and to hold up their seeding until tho rafs seeding date was an nounced. Me?tings were held thruout the county and publicity was sed ex tensively. As a result of the work. damage was les3 than 5 per cent in the county this year, while neign- boring count! Z3 had from 20 to 50 per cent damago. This saving alone would be encugh to operate tho farm bureau fcr twelve years." Warren Fagcr, 4-11 ccrn club lead er, gave a report cn the corn variety and typo improvement work in Cass county. "Ccrn variety and type dem- nnstrntin-! have been conducted in this county fesr about eight years. The work ctartrd with a"bout six va rieties. Thi3 year 5 were grown in the county which was one of the four state experimental plots. Great In terest has been ehown in these dem onstrations as ehoTvn by over one hundred farmers attending the re sult demonstration for-each of the past tbrco yoarz," ho raid. "Probably ths no;t Interesting va riety in tha tsnts 1 the Krug Yel low Dent, a very emcoth variety that has been grown in the plots for three years. It has cutyielded many of the best local varieties by 3 to 8 bushels per acre. Seed was furnished to 15 4-H ccrn club members this year by Mr. Walnscott, tho county agent, for their ten acre fields. This will make a good supply of seed available to Cass county farmers for another year. I did not have enough seed given me by Mr. Wainscott to plant all of my field so I purchased some from a man who said he had Krug corn. The ten acres that was the real Krug corn; yielded 94 bushels per acre while the remaining part of the field plant ed with the other corn made 60 bush els per aero. If we could increase the yield of corn per acre in Cass coun ty by 4 bushels by using this corn it would mean 600,000 more bushels of corn produced on the same 150,000 acres. Or we could product as much corn as we are now doing on 8 acres les3 per farm and have that land for alfalfa, or some other legume. After all, we must produce as much per acre as possible when prices are so low." Sherman Cole of Mynard, told how he had remodeled hi3 poultry house by tearing out the partitions and making one large room, using a straw loft to keep the building warmer in winter and cooler in summer. In the old house he usually got about six to ten eggs per day in tho winter from 100 hens. With the remodeled house he was able to get 50 per cent production or 50 eggs per day last winter. He also uses the Nebraska type 10x12 brooder houses which he likes very much for brooding his chicks. In the fall he converts it into a laying house which hold3 50 hens of the light breed and in this way is utilizing the house twelve months out of the year. When he is ready to put the baby chicks in the house in April he moves the hens out to a mere open shed or sells them for the high priced egg season is over by then." A. J. Roelofsz of Alvo, reported on the Farm Record work in the coun ty. Mr. Roelofsz said, "How can a farmer cut his expenses if he doesn't know what branch of his business takes the most money." A Farm Re cord skow3 where each dollar is ipent and in thi3 way he has been able to systematically cut them accord ingly. Cass county has been fore most of the counties in Nebraska in this work, having completed 96 books last year, and having 89 cf them summarized. John B. Kaffenberger reported that the Farm Bureau had sold more serum this year than it has for ten years. Thi3 was enough serum to vaccinate 15,491 hogs or about half the pig crop of the county. lie ex plained that the Farm Bureau had nine sets of instruments which they loan and demonstration were given by the agent on how to administer the serum. About 400 farmers did their own work this year. Ilrs. J. M. Ranney reported on the 4-II Garden club work in the county. There were four garden club3 in the county with 46 members. Each mem ber was required' to keep a record ofl at least 500 square feet of garden. The average profit was $13.75. The Peppy Planters Garden club of Weep ing Water won first on their garden booth at state and county fairs this year. Mrs. G. R. Eveland of Elmwood, reporting on the major project in women's work for the past year said "Home making is a grand task. The pay is the little sweetnesses of every day family life, with pains, sacri fices and sorrows sifted out. There is no unemployment among farm home makers. There is always work of one kind or another to be done and thru our farm bureau and extension work wre are able to keep up w-itb. new ideas and best methods of doing tasks The lessons the past year have shown how we may improve our homes and surroundings, inexpensively and yet have them attractive, a place of pleas ure and comfort and full of that homey spirit that has so much ef fect for good on the character, ideas and standards of living on the mem bers of tho family. Cass county had 38 clubs last year with a membership of 652 womcu.

Mrs. Will Ost reported on the bene fits to be derived from keeping home accounts. She said, "The part homo products contribute to our living is surprising." She also said that home accounts had helped solve the prob lem of spending money for the chil dren. The children are now on an allowance and they are finding that they must choose wisely to make that allowance oeing given them the most satisfaction possible. 54 hememak crs are keeping records this year. Soap making as a means of util izing surplus fats, such as cracklings, meat fryings, etc., i3 very gratifying practice, according to Mrs. Nelson Bcrger of Nehawka. 42 women have made or transposed such surplus or otherwise waste fat into 1660 pounds of pure soap during , the pact year. This soap ha3 given satisfaction not only for landry purposes but also as toilet soap. Sewing machine clinic3 are becom ing more popular each year. 151 women attended 8 clinic3 the past year, at which time 102 machines were overhauled, cleaned and put in to good running condition. Since the clinics these same 151 women have helped overhaul 154 more machines. making a total of236 machines made new. Ordinarily one would pay $3.50 to have this done which means a sav ing of $896.00 beside the joy of sewing with a good working machine. Miss Evelyn Wolph, in summariz ing the' girla" 4-tT1 club ' work " said "My girlB felt that the way in which they had learned to make themselves useful, to co-operato with others and to get the most cut of life was worth all their effort in 4-II work to say nothing of the material advantages." 140 girl3 carrying cooking projects made a total of 10,753 recipes and helped prepare 10,848 meals. 98 clothing club members made a total cf 694 garments. 5 canning club members canned 627 quarts of fruits, vegetables and meats. These are Just a few of the accomplishments of the 266 completing 4-II projects this summer. Francis Flood, world traveler and explorer showed motion pictures and told of hi3 trip to the Island of Cor? noo. He compared tho agricultural methods of Australia, Java, Borneo and China with that of the United States. He said "The rcaso.i United States was foremost of all na tions in the world in psricuituro because our Pilgrim raiuera n education and we have kept this . - .. s o-,-f.-Milf urn a3 ileal ever Deiore us 't - in ether things ever since." "This is most evident here in Cass county by the way ycu people have responded to the annual meeting. It shews that you are interested in agricultural education."
