inspiration for the perpetuation of
the work within the county.

next year, with plenty of soft corn
to feed that may be worth about 50c
and hog3 selling at from 8 to 10
cents. There are some bred sows
available around the county. Inquire
at the Farm Bureau Office.
Adolph Ross, Nehawka, says he has
about one thousand bushels of corn
picked arid scattered all over his
farm to try to keep It. He thinks he
has some corn that will do for seed.
Twenty-two samples of corn sent
in for grade resulted in one grading
4. All others graded 5 or "sample."
Miss Ruth Ann Sheldon, although
very busy putting last minute touches
'on her Stavle Show costume which j
she will wear in the National 4-II
contest In Chicago, found time to
model a dress at the anniversary pro
gram at the Congregational church
in Weeping Water Sunday after
noon, which was worn sixty-six years
ago by Mrs. Gertrude Wolph of Ne
hawka. This dress is quite a con
trast to the costume Ruth Ann will
wear in Chicago.
As a result of the last two weeks
of damp weather, many farmers are
reporting hog losses from flu. Clean,
dry, well bedded quarters, free from
drafts, with light feed such as soak
ed oats and little or no corn, can be
highly recommended for prevention
and treatment.
Two farmers sat in the office dis
cussing various topics. One, from
riattnmouth precinct, was terribly
concerned about his soft corn and
what he wa3 going to do with It. He
asked the other, "How are you go
ing to handle your corn?" The oth
er, being from the extreme western
part of the county said, "I don't have
enough to worry about."
Jerome St. John, as well as many
ether of the 264 farmers attending
the Soil Conservation day in Weep
ing Water, Tuesday, the 12th, said
it was the finest meeting he ever
attended in the county.
As a result of the Christmas gift
making suggestions brought to the
project clubs last mnoth, 278 pair of
tile for silhouette plaques, and 75
sets of copper sheeting have been or
dered by women club members in the
county. The Pleasant Ridge club of
Louisville rodered 2S pair of tile,
the Four Mile Community club of
Plattsmouth, 27, and the Grand
Prairie club. Murdock. 25. The
Four Square club of Murdock has or
dered the largest number of copper
sheets, 18 sets, with which to make
book ends according to the instruc
tions in the lesson.
Henry Ragoss of Louisville was
re-elected president of the Cas3 Coun
ty Agricultural Society at their an
nual meeting held in Weeping Wa
ter. November 16. Frank Wood was
re-elected secretary-treasurer, and
Fred Rehmeier re-elected vice-presi
dent. The fair association shows a
net balance of about $1,000. The
members voted to use part of this
money to paint and repair buildings
Prof. H. J. Gramlich says, "Assum
ing tne producer win do lorcea to
depend upon a market for soft corn,
it seems that making it into ensilage
is preferable to snapping. Snapped
soft corn cannot be held to an ad
vantage into a second season. The
producer might possibly have to sell
under a considerable handicap dur
ing late winter were he to have it
stored as snapped ear corn. If stored
as ensilage it could be held over one
or more seasons if desired. A time
may come1 next summer when cattle
can be fattened upon this ensilage
and made ready for market under
very opportune conditions."

Corn-Hog Program
Eecominendations.
A proposal to perm:: signers o!
corn-hog contracts to produce 100
percent of their base hog production
next year received the unanimous ap
proval of producers and state agri
cultural specialists in conference
with officials of the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration in V. asn-
ington this week. The conference
recommended a hog adjustment pay
ment of $2.50 for each hog produced
up to 50 percent of each signer's
base. The payment would be the
same for a production ranging from
50 percent to 1C0 pedrcent of the
producer's base. The new contract
would call for an optional adjust
ment of from 10 to 30 percent in
the base corn acreage of individual
signers in 1336 with the require
ment that participating farmers pro
duce 25 percent of their base acre
age. It was suggested, however, that
an optional adjustment of 10 to 25
percent in corn production would be
satisfactory if it would bring about
the desired reduction of 10 million
acres in corn last year. " Corn ad
justment payments would remain at
35 cents a bushel, as in 1935, on the
estimated yicl dof retired acres. The
group unanimously approved estab
lishment of corn and hog bases by an
"appraisal method." The proposed
method would provide that commun
ity corn-hog committeemen appraise
the farm to be operated by each ap
plicant for a contract and would
recommend the base for corn and for
hogs on each farm in 19 2 0. County
quotas would limit the aggregate
acreage of corn and the total num
ber of hogs that could bo assigned to
contract signers within each coun
ty. The proposal that tlic acreage of
soil-improving and erosion-preventing
crops on each farm be increased
by an amount equal to the acreage
which the contract signer wishes to
retire from corn production was
unanimously approved. The confer
ence went on record as favoring the
inclusion of corn for silage in the
corn base, thus eliminating the re
as to the use made of the corn. Work
will be started immediately upon
the drafting of the new contract
a'ong the lines recon. mended by the
conference.
Thanksgiving Circular.
Extension Circular 511, entitled
"Thanksgiving," has just been print
ed. The circular contains poems,
recitations, suggestions for songs
and games appropriate to Thanks
giving. Copies may be obtained at
the Farm Bureau Office.
Sandwiches for Lunch.
Sandwiches are a convenient and
easy way of supplying concentrated
nourishment that may be eaten in a
minimum of time. When used with
a creamed soup, creamed vegetables,
or mashed or escalloped potatoes,
they furnish a very substantial meal.
For variety, prepare the sandwich
filling and let each child spread his
own sandwich. On cold days a hot
milk beverage is especially needed.
I By adding a banana or apple or cook-
jed apricots or prunes, the meal will
good growth. Some sandwich sugges
tions are:
1. Lettuce sprinkled with coarsely
grated or shaved cheese or rye bread.
2. Cottage cheese flavored with
