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.

Stubble of Any Kind Aids
in Checking Wind Erosion.
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.
AN APPRECIATION
We desire to take this method of
expressing to the members of the
Platsmouth Volunteer fire department
as well as the friends and neighbors
our deep appreciation of their ser
vices in the fire that recently visited
our home. But for their fine work
the house would have been destroyed
and we shall always remember the
excellent work of the firemen. Mr.
and Mrs. A. E. Stewart.

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.

ARREST SUSPECTS
Herbert A. Mischam, 39, and his
son, Thedral, 2247 South 15th street,
Lincoln, were prisoners No. 12 and
13, respectively, in Sheriff Carl Ry
der's county Jail at Nebraska City
Saturday, after they were found west
of Nebraska City by the sheriff and
Chief of Police Ottnat Friday night,
states the Nebraska News-Press.
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.
Saturday morning Ryder went to
the Morton orchard. There he found
seven sacks of apples, neatly piled,
and partly hidden. Eight empty
sacks were found, also. He believes
he can link car, men and apples.
