1936-37 Corn-Hog
Contract in Brief.
Duration of Contract: Two years,
Dec. 1, 1935 to November 30, 1937.
Bases: Establishment by appraisal
by community committee. Review, to
assure uniformity, by county allot
ment committees. Both appraisal and
review to be in accordance with
standards prescribed by 6eretary. This
undertaking is designed to permit the
assignment of equitable bases to all
producers regardless cf whether or
not they have previously participated
in corn-hog programs or farmed pre
vious to 193G.
Corn Adjustment in 1936: From
10 to 30 per cent of corn base, with
exact percentage at option of pro
ducer. Planting of not less than 25
per cent of base average required.
Hog Adjustment in 1936: To re
ceive maximum payment, producer
shall raise not less than 50 per cent
and not more than 100 per cent of
his market hog base.
Corn Adjustment in 1937: Rate to
be announced by November 30, 1936.
Planting of more than 25 per cent of
his corn base or adjustment below
75 per cent of that base not to be
required.
Hog Adjustment in 1937: To se
cure maximum rayment, producer
will not be asked to raise more than
60 per cent nor make a downward
adjustment of more than 25 per cent
of his assigned market base.

Pointers on Poultry.
Five or six uiutient birds will be
given consideration on the poultry
calendar during the holiday season.
Turkeys there are of course, then
ducks and there will also be the big
fat goose for Christmas. At the top
of their season, however, are the
young roasting chickens, hatched last
spring and now 5 to 9 months old.
These are the class next older and
heavier than fryers, very tender and
delicate meat.
When it comes to roasting a tur
key, or a chicken or any other kind
of bird says the Bureau of Home
Economics of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, the even temperature
is what counts most, once the bird
is prepared and stuffed. Have the
oven hot (about 450 Fahrenheit)
when the turkey goes in. Brown
lightly for half an hour in this hot
oven, and after the first 15 minutes
turn the bird with the breast down
so it will brown all over. Then re
duce the oven heat to very moderate
(about 325 F.). To cool the oven
down quickly, leave the door open
as you are turning the bird and bast
ing it with turkey fat and butter.
If the turkey is young, continue
the roasting at this moderate tem
perature with no lid on the pan until
the bird is done. No lid on pan, re
member, for a young turkey. For an
old bird the method is different.
Baste every half hour with the pan
j drippings, and in turning the turkey
be careful not to break the skin. A
young ten or twelve pound turkey
will need about 3 hours in the oven,
or about 15 minutes to the pound or
market weight (picked but not
drawn ).
Tor a turkey a year old or more,
after browning in the hot oven, put
the cover on the roaster, and con
tinue the cooking in the moderate
oven (about 325 3 F.) Probably Ali
hours will be needed for a 15-pound
turkey a year or more old. Do not

respective interests in assigned corn
base and as the corn crops under
the lase are divided on each sepa

method, subject to approval of allot
ment committee, tenant and landlord
may make division according to num

Division of Hog Payments: Tenant

For the older chickens, the poa-roast-ing
method is good a little water

the "stewer" in steam after brown

A pot-roasting stewing chicken can
be made the center of a moderate
cost dinner. If the chicken is big
enough, or if the family is small
enough, there will be some meat left
over, perhaps enough for creaming,
or for a curry with rice, possibly for
a chicken short-cake made with dis
icuits, or a chicken pie with cro
quettes, or chicken chop suey. There
are always bones and broth enough
to make soup next day. For such a
soup add a little rice or noodles, chop
ped celery, onion and parsley, then
thicken the mixture. For richness
add a little cream or top milk.

Timely Topis From,
the Farm and Home.
George Towle of Weeping Water,
brought six ears of corn in from his
farm south of town. These ears were
picked from the wagon while un
loading. The ears were of the type
he would have picked for seed in an
ordinary year. Although they were
quite moist and spongy, a germin
ation test showed 100 of the ker
nels tested would grow. These ears
after being around the office a week
died out and apparently are good dry
seed. The question now is, would
this corn grow next spring if thrown
in the crib with other corn.
Direct information from J. F. Mill
er, secretary of the State Railway
Commission in Lincoln on Thursday,
December 5th, is that there has been
no change in the regulations for corn
sealing. It must grade Number 3 or
better when sealed. With this high
grade requirement, most people are
of the opinion that there isn't any
corn in the county that will grade
number three. Contrary to this be
lief, several farmers have reported
that their corn will grade three.
Many women are becoming pro
ficient in wielding the hammer while
making hammered copper trays this
week. Instruction is being given at
meetings at Murdock, Weeping Wa
ter and Plattsmouth. The trays may
be used as Christmas gifts or as orna
mental trays for the mantel, or for
cards or nuts, or in any number of
ways.
Plans are under way for the an
nual Farm Bureau meeting to be held
in the near future.
Frances Rehmeier was quite "ilab
bergasted" after returning home from
her trip to Chicago, when told by a
friend that they had heard of girls
who were heart-breakers, but none
that were "train wreckers" before.
Ruth Ann Sheldon was in the "blue
ribbon" group in the national 4-H
style show in Chicago. She also won
first on her little girl's dress, and
Margie Ruth Pollard won a first in
the canning contest at Chicago.
These are all high honors.

George Farrell, Chief of Wheat
Section Speaks at Lincoln.
The opportune time for co-operation
among farmers is now when
prices are good and supplies are in
balance, George E. Farrell, chief of
the AAA wheat section told hundreds
of farmers who gathered at Lincoln
early last week.
An improved wheat situation has
brought about a real test or co-oper
ation on the part of wheat farmers,
Farrell declared. In the sign-up
which is being completed for the
forthcoming program, many farmers
hare looked at better wheat. prices
and have wondered if they would not
be better off to stay out of the pro
gram and take a chance on better
prices of wheat. This is a problem
for every co-overating farmer, Far
rell said, because if half the farmers
decide to play the game alone, they
can in a few years, get the wheat
situation back in as bad a condition
as it was in 1932.
Answering critics who maintain
that the drouth solved the wheat
problem, the AAA chief declared tat
most Nebraska farmers have a ready
answer to this question. "Drouth is
not a respector of persons," he ex-
Washington. Secretary Ickes de
clined to comment on a report the
Loup river public power district in
Nebraska had approved a $25,000 fee
for Arthur F. Mullen and implored
the public works administration chief
to approve it. Mullen, former Ne
braska democratic national commit
teeman, was attorney for the proj
ect being built with a $7,300,000
PWA allotment.
A spokesman for Ickes said the
secretary would "give the recommen
dation of the Loup authority con
sideration" w hen it is submitted here,
but made no forecast as to what the
result would be. Mullen, informed
that the district had disregarded his
$40,000 bill, said he had no com
ment to make.
'Back to the
Grass' Movem't
Shows a Gain
Article by George S. Round of the
University of Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture.
That Nebraska farmers are "becom
ing mere intensely interested in the
"back-to-the-grass" movement, is in
dicated in the active participation in
the state-wide pasture improvement
contest which has just closed and in
the land utilization meetings which
have been held throughout the state
in recent weeks.
More than 400 farmers rrom ap
proximately 35 counties in every area
of the Cornhusker state entered the
pasture contest which was designed
to study methods of improving graz
ing land which has suffered severely
in recent years from dry weather and
over-pasturing. County and state
winners are now being decided who
will share in the $1,500 being of
fered to winners. The event which
is sponsored by the Nebraska college
of agriculture, the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, the Nebraska Crop
Growers' Association and the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, has brought
out some interesting practices un
known to many farmers.
Nearly 250 of tliese individual
farmers have now finished the con
tent. County winners are to be an
nounced on Thursday, December 12.
A mammoth banquet to be held in
Omaha on Tuesday, December 17,
will serve as a climax to the event
where the state winners will be an
nounced. Nearly 300 progressive
farmers and agricultural college au
thorities will join together at this
banquet being sponsored by the Om
aha Chamber of Commerce.
In many cases wiiere grazing land
last spring was bare and where na
tive pastures were destroyed com
pletely by the 1934 drought, they
Lave now been partially restored by
the efforts of farmers in this contest.
The event has brought about an in
creased interest in the growing ot
brome grass which will probably be
stimulated in the future. The use oi
proper crop rotations has also been
under close observation by the con
testants. The other factor which has proven
that farmers generally are intensely
interested in better utilization of
their farm land and also in a return
to grass has been the land utilization
meetings held throughout the state.
In these sessions the leading farm
ers of every locality have in a co
operative manner studied the parti
cular needs of their communities and
the adaptability of the production of
