An error in subtraction of the figures on the timing tape first caused his speed to be announced at 299.875 miles, whereupon Campbell announced he would make a second attempt tomorrow to attain his goal of 300 miles an hour. Later, when told of the error and that he had actually exceed ed 301 miles an hour, he said "The news comes somewhat Hat, but I am glad to hear, it." Elated at his new record, Campbell ordered the racer packed for shipment and is now en route back to New York, from where he will sail for London September 12th.

Sample seed labels tnat are re quired on all seed now sold have Just been received at the Farm Bureau office from W. B. Banning, director of the state department of agricul ture. This department -will require all seedmen, farmers, or anyone engaged in the seed trade to use a uniform seed label which is. approved by the department. The l2bel calls for the kind of seed,- county and state In which grown, per.-?nt purity, percent weed seed, perC'V t inert matter, percent germination., percent hard seed, nox ious weeds, and date tested. j This l.i- and label will Insure those bii. lng the seed that there will not be any false representation of what the seed is or what it contains. The seed samples will be tested free of charge by the department. If you want to get a copy of the law or tags, or have your seed tested, we will be glad to be of service to you at the Farm. Bureau office. Treat That Bindweed Now. The last rains will put the ground in Ideal condition for the treatment of bindweed patches. Sodium chlor ate, the chemical which seems to give the best results, needs a moist Eoil to give the highest percent of kill. Ground fairly free from all vegetble" growth except bindweed would be ideal to treat now. If there is a lot of other refuse such as, other weeds, straw or stubble on these bindweed patches the ground should be plowed, or disced; then allowed to lay about two weeks and then treat with chemical. About 2Y2 -to 3 pounds dry, per square rod is suf ficient. Inquire at the Farm Eureau office for further Information or chemical. 4-H'ers Prepare for County Fair.

Everywhere they are talking more about wheat varieties in view of the damaging toll taken from their 1935 crop by lodging, rust, sudden heat and the wide differences in varieties. The agronomy department at the college of agriculture has been liter ally "bombarded" with inquiries about various varieties this year. Twenty-seven strains of winter wheat were tested comparatively in field plats at the station this year. Yields ranged from 17 to 32 bushels per acre and test weights from 502 to GO y2 pounds. Two winter wheats are recognized a3 superior in Nebraska. One is Ne braska 60, a good Turkey selection of special value because of its superior winter-hardiness. The other is Chey enne. The latter variety is inherently high yielding and matures about 2 days earlier than Nebraska 60. Be cause of its shorter and stiffer straw, it stands up better than any other hard wheat. Even after ripening, the head continues to stand erect and unless given severe wind treatment will not shatter. It is the best com bine variety. - , .It's fall and early springy growth excel that of most hard wheats. Since it begins aggressive growth and root development early in the spring, it frequently gains an advantage over most other varieties in number of productive stems and in drouth hits, the plants are less apt to be injured. Cheyenne, hovrever, rusts like oth er varieties as farmers producing it this year found. It is one of the out stanging wheats for giving high, con sistent production in Nebraska. In cluding this year, Cheyenne leads the field in average producion during the past 8 years at the Nebraska experi ment station with a yield of 36.7 bushels as compared with 32.3 bush els for Nebraska 60. Nebraska Pastures Are Not in "Too Good" Condition Stewart. An examination of eastern Nebras ka pastures shows that many of them have not yet recovered from terrific heat and drouth injuries of the 1934 season. So says P. H. Stewart, ex tension agronomist at the Nebraska College of Agriculture. "A great deal of work remains to bo done to put these pastures back Into good condition again," he de clares. "A study of what farmers have been doing the past year to re Juvinate drouth injured pastures brings out several practices and re commendations which are well worth considering at this time of the year in making plans for the improvement of old and the establishment of new pastures. "Observations on pasture tours which have been held in eastern Ne braska during the past couple of weeks indicate that there is one par ticularly good way to handle such very weedy pastures where the oper ator does not intend to seed them PAID FOR ALL Farm Produce See us First or Phone for Latest Quotations on Poultry, Eggs, Etc.

Home Dairy Telephone No. 39 'IV - down to a mixture at once, either because of weather conditions or a lack of finances to handle the re- seeding. It is suggested that such very weedy pastures be mowed and raked and the weeds burned. "Ordinarily, they should then be disced although this may not be ne cessary in all cases. Fall rye may then be seeded at the rate of from one to one and a half bushels per acre. This may be put in at once or as soon as the field is cleared for seeding. Fall rye seed is plentiful and cheap in all parts of the state. During the past season fall rye has proved its value as a temporary pas ture crops and every farm might well have a patch of late fall and parti cularly early spring pastures. . j "One might-well go a bit farther and seed un-hulled sweet clover at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds on the fall rye in late winter or in very early spring. 'Where this is done the rye seeding might be reduced somewhat to three-fourths to one bushel per acre and thereby reduce the competi tion between rye and sweet clover. REDUCE PEICE OF MILK Chicago. A reduction in the re tail price of milk in the Chicago area from 11 to 10 cents a quart, effec tive immediately,' was announced af ter a conference between dealers and representatives of the Pure Milk as sociation.
