I. Gross, extension agronomist at the Nebraska college of egriculture. Farm people from all parts of the state have been writing the college about detailed Informa tion about the crop. Sudan ha3 been increasing in popu larity with farmers each year be cause it furnishes a large amount of pasture and is very drouth resistant, furnishing- feed during- the dry, hot part of the summer. The acreage in Nebraska has increased in recent years. Gross says farmers should be rath er careful in purchasing- sudan seed. Oftentimes it becomes mixed with cane and if the sudan becomes stunt ed by drouth or frost and then makes a second growth, it sometimes causes poisoning of livestock dut to the mix ture of cane. Certified sudan seed is available, however, in the state. When used for hay and pasture, sudan is ordinarily seeded at the rate of about twenty-five to thirty pounds per acre. It is usually put in with a drill or broadcast and then disked When growing- for a seed crop, Gross says it is best to drill it in regular 3 foot rows and cultivate it a3 one does corn. The corn binder is used in harvesting- the seed. When seeded In rows, six to seven pounds will make a good stand. MYNAKD CHUECH NOTES City Pays Its Tribute to the Heroic Dead E.

If everyone works and no one shirks. Old Mynard will never be dead. So if you do your personal bit And your neighbor does his bit too, Our school will be what you want it to be. It isn't your school, its you. Church schools broaden the mind, and everyone should have as much of it as possible.

The speaker stated that this was a peaceful nation, that nownere in the land was there sentiment for bloodshed or war, but he denounced as un-American and unfair the tac tics of the ultra pacifistic groups over the country that were seeking to sow the spirit of disloyalty to the na tion and disregard for the sacrifices of the past. The circulating of pledges in the schools and colleges that the students would not beari arms for the United States, was scored I by Mr. Patterson, who praised Gov ernor Bryan and Chancellor Burnett of the University of Nebraska for re fusing to allow the state university to be used in this manner. The speak er praised the work of the C. M. T. C. and the R. O. T. C. as being splendid training for the young men and which did not build up a militaristic spirit. The speaker traced the wars of the nation, that of the revolution that won freedom for the colonies. the war of 1812 that covered the right of the neutral nations on the seas, that of the Mexican war that marked the irresistible march of the American nation west to the Pacific coast, the civil war that was to de cide that the nation was one people and not to be divided into two, that the institution of slavery was not to endure In the nation, then again in 1898 the speaker stated the nation had heard the call of distress and freed Cuba and crushed the Spanish power in the new world, to become a world power and finally the world Euof Ueafter Supply yourself with these hot weather com forts NOW.

Mr. Patterson praised, the work, of the American Legion in striving to carry on its fine program of community service in all parts of the nation and for the attitude taken in the curtailment of many of the laws that had been en acted for the service man. The speak er praised the economy moves but urged that while the large number that were drawing retirement pay from the army or navy and holding high salaried offices should be cut in their allowance, he favored the care; of the disabled and sufferers from the war ravages. In his close Mr Patterson paid a splendid tribute to the work of President Roosevelt in world peace and his message to fifty four nations of the earth.
