Many Farmers
Asking About
Sudan Grass
Increased Interest in Pasture Crop is
Noted by College Men Care in
Selecting Seed Needed
There Is an Increased Interest In
sudan grass as a pasture among- Ne
braska farmers again this year, according-
to D. 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.

most largely attended services that
has been held here in several years
The meeting was presided over by
Dr. G. It. Taylor of the American Le
gion and on the platform was group
ed those who were to take part in
the program of the afternoon as well
as Abram Shellenbarger, the only
surviving civil war veteran in the
city and the last member of the
Plattsmouth G. A. R. living here.
The roll call of the departed was
responded to by C. A. Rawls for the
Spanish-American war, Commander
Albert Olson for the world war and
Mrs. Val Burkle for the civil war.
Mr3. Burkle presented Mr. Shellen
barger as the last of the civil war
heroes of the cimmunity,
Don Freese York was presented in
a group of the songs of the civil war
and of the world war, "Tenting To
night," "Tramp, Tramp the Boys Are
Marching." "Over There." and "A
Long Long Trail," the accompani
ment being played by E. H. Wescott.
Lincoln's address at the battlefield
of Gettysburg, was never more ably
given than the manner in which
George Adam presented this master
piece of the great civil war president.
A very impressive touch was given
to the exercises when a short mem
orial service was conducted by the
American Legion Auxiliary,. Mrs.
Herman Thomas, unit president and
Mrs. Don Selvers, past president,
conducting the services and in which
they were assisted by Clarella Farn
ham, Betty Ann Thomas, Donna B.
Saivers, and Catherine Conis as flow
er girls. This beautiful service was
one that made a deep impression on
the audience as the beautiful poem,
"Flanders Field" was given in, poem
and .song. Mrs. Robert M. Walling
gave the musical setting for the
service.
Warren Taylor, one of the well
known young , vocalists of the city,
was heard in. the number "The Un
known Soldier," a most impressive
and appropriate number for the serv-
Ice.s His accompaniment was played
by Mrs. Don Seivers.
The speaker of the afternoon, Mr.
R. Foster Patterson, was introduced
by Dr. Taylor briefly and gave one
of the most able and to the point ad
dress that memorial day audiences in
this city have had the privilege of
hearing.
Mr. Patterson in his opening
stated that he was happy over the
opportunity of being the speaker at
the memorial day service as he was
a grandson of a southern soldier and
grateful for the opportunity to pay
tribute to the men that had worn the
blue. 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

independent nation. 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.
The invocation and benediction
was offered by Canon Pctter of the
St. Luke's church.

of Freddie Frame of Los Angeles, win
ner of the 1932 race, who won that
event at an average of 104.144 miles
per hour. Meyers performance was
regarded as amazing considering the
fact that the race was twice slowed

snail's pace, while the track was be
ing cleared of wrecked cars.

Billman, fatally injured when his
car, traveling at record-breaking
speed, crashed into the retaining wall
on the northeast turn, skidded to

wheels remaining on the track and
the rear wheels hanging over the
wall. With the first terrific impact,
the side of the car which Billman
was driving was crushed like a paper
