PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1935. -j j r t f 7-r- - Cass County Farm Bureau Note Copy furnished from Office of County Agent Wainscott r Ready to Sign 1930 Wheat Contract Applications. Practically all of the information that Is available from past records has been tabulated and the office is practically ready to start taking ap plications for the new -wheat con tracts. The wheat producers who will probably sign applications are so widely scattered throughout the coun ty that the committee has decided to v.-rite all application in the office. Notices will be sent to producers giv ing them an appointed time to come to the office to make out their appli cations. More Corn-Eog; Money Arrives. Several thousand dollars worth of checks arrived at the Farm Bureau office over the week end. The owners are so widely scattered that it is im possible to go out over the county with them. Notices were sent Mon day to all producers and landlords that have checks. They can call at the office for them this week. Those that make a written request for their checks will be mailed receipts. As soon as the receipts are returned the checks will be mailed. This So-Called Atlas Sorgo. So many calls are coming to the Farm Bureau office concerning the Identification of what farmers pur chased for Atlas Sorgo. It seems that very little or no Atlas at all has turn ed out to be real Atlas Sorgo. Most of the samples brought in to the of fice are a mixture of most everything. The most common samples are "Freed" which has a reddish cast and a loose head. It 13 earlier than Atlas and has a fuzzy like coat on the seed. Cther samples are Orange cane, Milo, Feterita, Kaffir and Hegari. True At las is one of the latest maturing varieties of grain sorgums and in most cases it was in the blooming stage about two to three weeks ago. It is a tall stalk, heavily leafed and stands about 18 inches to two feet above the other varieties in the mixed fields. It can readily be seen that it will yield more tonnage than the mixtures. The big problem with true Atlas Sorgo is getting it to ma ture before a freeze. This will always be a problem with it this far north so that seed locally grown and offer ed fcr sale may be hard to get. These mixtures that are now grow ing will make good silage and should be left growing as long as possible before putting In the silo. All of these varieties are storing fluid in the stalks and heads every day now. The only gamble i3 with Jack Frost. Regarding the saving of seed from these mixed fields, I would say that most of the fields I have observed are so badly mixed that it would be im practical to try to save any seed. It doesn't take but very few foreign heads to mix up the entire field and I doubt if one could buy seed next year that is any more mixed than what most people now have, at the very worst. There is one field of state certified Atlas Sorgo growing in the county now and if it matures there will be some local seed available next year so that a few farmers can get a start of the real Atlas Sorgo.

At the Archer Field Station in Wyoming wind erosion or "blowing" of the soil is often severe, particular ly in winter. Experience there shows that Sudan grass stubble is helpful in checking erosion when the rows are at right angles to the prevailing winds. Wheat and oat stubble are also ef fective in many seasons, but a droughty season may cause so much of a crop failure that there will be little or no stubble to hold the soil the following winter when it is most needed. Soil rarely blows the first 2 or 3 years after the breaking of native sod. It is still full of organic matter which helps to hold it against wind erosion. Better Breakfasts. "Scanty breakfasts" and 'no break fasts" are given by one authority as the cause of much of the malnutri tion in school children. With school days at hand, the rising hour should now be such that it will allow plenty of time to assure an adequate, un hurried breakfast. A child's capacity for food is often so small compared with his need that it may be impos sible for him to eat in two meals all he requires during the day. If break fast is omitted, therefore, his daily total food consumption may be too small to provide the growth material he needs. Also much of the irrita bility, nervousness, bad temper, and lack of attention that children ex hibit in school may have their source in inadequate meals. A "mid morn ing lunch" at recess time, which sel dom offers more than 250 to 300 calories, cannot take the place of the 500 to 600 calories breakfast should provide. These lunches are supple mentary meal3 and should always be regarded as such, never as substi tutes. A glass of water on rising should start the child's day. An adequate breakfast should include a cooked cereal, preferably whole grain, toast or bread, preferably whole grain, milk or cocoa made with milk, and fruit, either fresh or cooked. THE CHILD'S BANK. "The two factors Calcium and Vitamin A which in the past have been least adequately supplied by the average American diet fortunately can both be stored in the body when it receives a surplus above its immediate needs. Therefore every time a child gets a good day's ration of milk, you may say that he puts calcium and vitamin A in his bank, as well as adding to his working capital. And every time he eats a plentiful helping of a leafy vegetable, he is adding to his reserve of Vitamin A." Dr. H. C. Sherman.

Supreme Court Soon May Decide Fate of the AAA Works Relief Projects in the Mean time Are in a State of Incnhation. Major administration problems were given a general fall overhauling the past week, preparatory to Mr. Roosevelt's departure from Washing ton. The last of the multitudinous works relief projects now are in final incubation. It remains only for the comptroller general to impart the breath of legal life. The AAA en igma goes on the shelf, pending the vital ruling expected in coming weeks from the supreme court. Some of the more pressing questions will be dis cussed, but no long term decisions are expected for the present. Also in the moth balls is the pro posal to revive an NRA of old-time vigor. . The president says he wants to see what business will do toward regulating itself; nevertheless the possibility of new legislation next session has by no means disappeared White house creation of a "co-or dinator of industrial co-operation" is considered by some to be of minor Importance in the final determin ation. It completes machinery for "voluntary" trade agreements au thorized after the supreme court de molished compulsory codes. Also it makes place for a labor leader of Im portance, one who has been an ar dent new deal supporter. Flock of New Agencies. The flock of new agencies. Includ ing the iie for munitions export con trol, are In the carpenter shop for completion of their essential frame work while Mr. Roosevelt is away Easily predominant in the picture is the works relief program, because of what is expected of It. Designed to provide the final boost toward recov ery, it also embraces for the admin istration about as big a political stake as it would be possible to im agine. Its success is looked upon by some of the president's key men as absolutely essential if the new deal itself is- to succeed. Official circles cannot be said to look forward to the test with complete satisfaction The public works end of the experi ment, thru which it had been plan ted to stimulate private industry by purchase of materials, has been cur tailed greatly. The wage limitations fixed at first have been relaxed, and doubt has appeared In some quar ters whether the 4 billion dollar ap propriation can be stretched to the announced goal of putting 3 niil Hon Jobless to work. On top of this, relief officials are discovering1 that as fast as transfers are made from the relief rolls, new applicants appear, pleading exhaus tion of their savings. Whatever it may produce, how ever, the administrative work of pre paring for the experiment now is about finished. Hundreds of allot ments, large and small, were dumped on the desk of Comptroller General McCarl Just before the president left Washington. It is the Job of the comptroller general to say whether the specifications conform to the law. The great bulk of the proposals he is expected generally to approve, and for each one rejected, an alternate Is waiting for submission.

The men may face apple-stealing charges or having improper license plates on their car. Early in the evening the officers found an abandoned automobile bear ing a Cass county license, on a lonely "road west of Nebraska City. Although it was locked, the sheriff towed in the car. Inside he found apple leaves. Later Ryder and Ottnat went back, found the men walking on the road. They admitted ownership of the car, and said they were going to Peru to look at a coon dog.
