Creep Feeding for Calves Found to be Practical More Gain in Weight on This Method is Noted by Farmers Con duct Experiments. Tests conducted at the University of Nebraska experimental substation have again proved that creep feed ing of calves has a number of dis tinct advantages over the production of baby beeves in the ordinary fash ion, regardless of whether prices are high or low. M. L. Baker, animal husbandman at the North Platte station says, af ter two years of experimenting, that everything in connection with the tests points to the desirability of creep-feed calves. Numerous farm ers throughout the state have tried the practice this year and found it higly practical. Emil Polnicky of Red Cloud is cne of the enthusiastic boosters of the plan. During each cf the two years in the tests the creep-fed calves have shown a net average gain of two tenths of a pound greater than the non-creep fed calves. The latter ani mals have also continued to gain noticeably better than the others for at least three months after weaning and any margin even after that was in favor of the creep-fed calves. Calves used in the 1932-33 test were from cows bought from Henry P. Hansen in Lincoln county. When six weeks eld, they were divided into four groups, two of which were creep-fed and two of which were not. The calves were dropped in March and April. Another point regarding the creep feeding as it was done at North Platte was that none of the calves were too fat in the spring to have bene 6old as stockers. Where eight to twelve bushels of corn are fed be fore weaning, it would be almost necessary for the owner to do the fin ishing, Baker says. However, in all cases, it is best not to move the cat tle any oftener than necessary. Los Angeles. Mrs. Gentry was form erly Miss Georgia Tutt, and was known by her friends of thirty-five years ago as Miss "Duckey" Tutt, but has lived in L03 Angele3 during the last thirty-five years.

Best Blood Lines and Egg Producers in Nebraska Relief for Farmers in New Loans Carl Ganz and Phil L. Hall, Eepre sentatives in This County of Na tional Farm Loan Assn. Farmers in this county will ue in terested in the statement just re ceived by Carl D. Ganz of Alvo and Phil Hall of Greenwood, secretary treasury of the Alvo and Greenwood National Farm Lean Association, from Bert "vVaddell, agent of the farm loan commissioner, stationed in the Federal Land Bank of Omaha, tell ing how it is expected there will be a very substantial scale-down in the debts of many borrowers because the farmer getting a loan will be able to effer cash for settlement of debts which he might not otherwise be able to pay. Commissioner's loans are being! made to reduce and refinance farm er's debts on a longer term basis, to supply working capital and to re finance foreclosed farms. The col lateral accepted is first or second mortgages upon all or any part of the farm property, real or personal, including crops. Of course, before the commissioner makes a second mort gage loan he will ask the holder of the first mortgage to waive foreclos ure rights in accordance with the commissioner's regulations. Loans are limited to a maximum of 55,000 each. These loans plus all prior mortgages or other evidences of indetbedness secured by the farm property may .not exceed 75 per cent of the appraised value thereof. During the first three years the loans are in effect, bcrrowers will not be required to make payments on the principal if they are not otherwise in default with respect to the condi tions or covenants cf their mortgages. The loan must be repaid in such an nual or semi-annual installments as will discharge ihe debt within the agreed period. The commissioner's agent also points out that these are collateral ized and not personal loans and that the financial condition of the appli cant as well as his history must be considered, including of course, the ability cf the farmer to repay his loan. The properties are appraised by the Federal Land Bank appraiser and he uses the same general values in arriving at the value of the property r i IS CONTINUED AT S1B5 Per Year In Advance Up Until July 1st, Only Prices on Corn, Wheat and other farm products have advanced greatly since we made this un usual offer April 15th, and we have been asked to continue it.

Semi-l'icekly Journal How 81.50 Per Year to be offered as collateral. The prin cipal difference between the Federal Land Bank loan and the commission-, e-r's loan is that the land bank loan is made only on farm property and can not exceed 50 per cent of the normal, appraised value of the land plus 20 per cent of the insured, per manent improvements, whereas the commissioner's agent may lend up to 75 per cent of the normal value and accept second mortgages and personal property as security. The agent points out that for the convenience of the public the secretary-treasurer of th2 local national farm loan association has been ap pointed as correspondent and that farmers should find it convenient and satisfactory to make their applica tions to this correspondent rather than apply directly to tho agent sta tioned in the Federal Land Bank.

The sailors, however, had outfoxed the ex-doughboys and made off with the honors of the game IS to 9. The soldcirs assembled a group of the men who had seen service from Camp Funston to Coblenz to orpose the sailors, -expecting to face the vet eran old salts that had trod the decks of many a trusty mine sweeper or destroyer, only to discover a force of young ball players that were to de fend the honors of the navy. The fact that the veteran dough boys were suffering from the results of too many years, growing waist lines and flat feet, did not stop them and they made a mighty struggle to carry off the game, j Fat Reed and Robert Reed did the hurling honors fcr the soldiers and mowed down sailor after sailor as they came to bat, but not enough to win. Carl Kail did the pitching for the asilors. 0:ie of the features of the game wa3 the catching of Wickman for the army, net even "Gabby" Harnett playing e better game. The chief casualty of the army was City Attorney J. A. Capwc-11, who sustained a well ecrked finger that was giving the lawyer-ball player plenty of trouble this morning.
