At the National Democratic con
tention of 1932, m Chicago. Illinois,
special recognition was given to the
jyouth of our country. A3 a result a
movement was made and adopted for
'the organization of the Young Dern
jocratic Clubs of America. The object
of this organization wa3 to promote
I an increasing trend toward political
science as well as acquainting the
! members thereof with the ideals and
endeavors of the democratic party. In
1934 the Young Democrats were
given their first opportunity to show
their worth and at which time an
army of young voters marched to the
polls to cast their first ballots. Cen
sus enumerators disclose that since
the last national campaign, 16,000,-
1 000 youths have reached voting age
and the prediction of an even greater
democratic landslide, thi3 fall.
Despite its political issues, an or
ganization that strives toward good J
citizenship is a worth while invest
ment and a human asset to any com
munity.
The Young Democratic clubs
represented in every county in
are
the
United States and it3 tributaries.
This system of organization permits
the young people to know each other
and affords them the opportunity of
uniting their efforts in obtaining
clean and wholesome entertainment,
to acquire a familiarity with all our
governmental systems and their ad
ministrators, while at the same time,
they are doing their duty towards
their country by upholding thej
'standards of liberty and justice for
all.
Particularly, the youth cf today
should be guided from adhering to
crusaders of communism, who are
gradually trying to gain a deadlock
on the future mothers and fathers of
America, .even the churches of all
denominations are uniting, to en
deavor to keep their young communi

Pasture Contest

Farmers in 1936
Forced to Remain at Home by Snow;

Snow blocked and impassable

Frclick, agronomist at the agricul

being: drafted in the farm hcuse. The
most practical means of solving ero-j
sion problems, putting more land to;

for the coming year, are being plan-
ned out.
Probably one of the most import
ant and difficult tasks of the farm-j

quires considerable forethought, is
that of getting the pasture problem.

Eleven Months
Says Severe
Winter Ruined
Peach Crop
-
H. Eoppert Finds Many Trees Are
Bead Urges (hitting to
Snow Line.
Nebraska's 1936 peach crop has
been virtually destroyed by the se
vere winter weather which has kill-
led buds and several thousand trees,
'E. H. Hoppert, extension horticul
turist at the college of agriculture,
reported Friday.
Back from the commercial fruit
producing area of southeastern Ne
braska where he held pruning dem-
onstrations wun orcnaraisis, nopperi
iwas pessimistic about the 1936 peach
I crop. He estimated that probably
10,000 trees have been killed by the
aa verse weatner.
Trees standing in the open and
jnot protected by snow have suffered
jthe most severely by the unfavorable
I weather elements, the horticulturist
reported. Those trees which had
snow banked around them still have
tc cut them down to the snow line
' where there is some life. By such
action, the trees can be brought back
jinto productivity within two or three
! years, Hoppert estimated.
Most of the trees destroyed were
'about eight years old and in com
imercial orchards. Peach trees plant
ed in low-hedge style for home use
apparently did not suffer so severely
due to their ability to catch snow
which protected them. Many of the
"filler" trees in the orchards which
were destroyed will probably be taken
iout soon.
Hoppert reported peach trees at
the college orchard likewise have suf-
fered severely during the past winter
and that many have been killed. In
a more optimistic statement, how-
!eTer te saId moisture conditions in
the commercial orchards for soutn-
eastern Nebraska are greatly im
proved over one year ago and that
prospects for major fruit crops, other
than peaches, remain favorable.

Discusses New
Crops for the
Nebraska Farms
Dr. T. A. Kiesselbach, of the College
of Agricnltnre, Explains the
j V AN. V rW .
(Editor's Note: Here is the first
in a series of two articles which dis
cusses the possibilities ot growing
Jerusalem artichokes in Nebraska.
The second will appear next week.)
The favorable development of agri
culture in Nebraska has been closely
! linked with the introduction of revo
lutionizing new crops. The mere
naming of a few of these will serve
to substantiate this statement: name
ly, Turkey winter wheat, alfalfa and
sweet clover.
The state agricultural experiment
station is always on the lookout for
superior new crops and is ever striv
ing to improve the old. This is a
responsibility exacted by the public
which also expects to be kept cor
rectly advised regarding the possi
bilities and merits cf the various
crops.
Should the acreage of Jerusalem
artichokes be increased under pres
ent conditions? This is one of the
moBt common questions directed to
the Agricultural Experiment Station
this winter and Is doubtless prompt-
ed hy the current agitation for the
greater industrial use of farm crops.
We might follow this with another
question: Is the situation with re
spect to artichokes materially dif
ferent from what it has been for a
number of years?
It has leen estimated that about
300 acres of Jerusalem artichokes
were grown in Nebraska in 1935.
tince mis is not a new crop, tne smau
acreage suggests that farmers have
not been attracted to It under the
conditions of the past. The crop has
not been revolutionized by the re
cent introduction of superior va
rieties. There are no varieties avail
able commercially in this country
that are recognized as materially su
perior to the French White which
has now been grown for a number
of years.
Certain experimental lots are re
garded as somewhat superior on the
basis of limited experiments, but
these are not as yet a factor in com
mercial production. Evidences of su
periority must be substantiated over
a period of years to be conclusive.
In deciding whether the acreage
of any farm crop should be expand
Illinois Giant Approaches New Record
Robert Wadlow, 8 Feet 4 Inches Tall at 18, Nears Height
of Famed Irish Giant; Youth Plans to Be Lawyer
By JEAN' ALLEN
International Illustrated iVeic
Feature Writer
ALTON, 111. Now towering eight
feet four inches, Robert Wadlow of
Alton, 111., who recently celebrated
his ISth birthday, is assured of be
coming the world's tallest man in
history before his next birthday.
Wadlow'a nearest rival for the dis
tinction Is the famed "Irish giant,"
Charles O'Brien, who measured eight
feet four and one-half inches in
height before he died In 1783 at the
age of 23. ilf Wadlow reaches a
height of eight feet fiTe inches, which
Is almost certain before his next
birthday on Feb. 22, 1937, he will
have establiched a new record.
Youth. Studying Law
Yet it is not a distinction to which
the youth aspires. He is a shy re
tiring sort of chap who Bhuns the
curiosity aroused by his height. He
has refused numberous attractive
offers from vaudeville and circuses
although his family are only in
modest circumstances.
Wadlow'a amition is to be a law
yer and live a life as near normal as
his size permits. He is now a fresh
man at Shurtleff college in Alton
and has an excellent scholastic re
cord. His choice of law as a career
was determined by his belief that his
size would handicap him least in that
field.
Although he weighed only nine
pounds at birth, Robert began to
grow rapidly before he was a year
old. His growth had been steady and
gradual
During the past year he
shot up four inches and is expected
to grow two or three Inches more
before his next birthday.

Item in the Wadlow family budget
since even a pair of shoes for Robert

Despite his size, however, young
Wadlow lacks the strength one might
popularly associate with a giant.
His rapid growth has not been ac
companied by normal muscular co-normal breakfast and his rood con-jneignt, some even naving oeen re

j hazardous falls which might cause
grave complications to his physique
ed there are a number of questions
which naturally arise in reaching a
correct decision. Some of these may
be listed as follows: (1) Is there
a dependable commercial market?
(2) If a feed crop, how does :t com
pare in practicability with other
standard feed crops? (3) Is the crop
adapted? (4) How does the labor
cost of production compare with that
of other standard crops?
To answer the first question, there
is now no industrial market for arti
chokes grown In Nebraska and there
is no certainty that there will be
such a market in the near future.
There would be no justification now
in recommending the growing of
articrokes on the basis that a market
may sometime develop. If alcohol cr
sugar processing plants should te
established, a profitable market for
artichokes would probably exist only
in close proximity to the factory.
As an average for the 4 years 1925-!
1927 and 1935 in which tests have
been made, artichokes yielded 5
tons tubers per acre at the experi
ment station at Lincoln. We have
used the best variety commercially
available and grown them in a
standard manner. Yields under var
ious conditions in the state may te
indicated by the following experi
ment station result3 secured in 1925:
Lincoln, 4.58 tons tubers; North
Platte dry land, 1.5C tons; Valentine
sub-irrigation, 10 tons; Mitchel irri
gation, 13.6 tons. As an average for
three years, a yield of C.17 tons of
fresh tubers per acre at Lincoln
analyzed 17.1 Tc sugar which would
be at the rate of 1.07 tons sugar per
acre.
RELATIVES DENY SUICIDE
York, Neb. Relatives of Melvin
L. Hurst. 52, Hamilton county farm
er and former resident of the Waco
vicinity, said Friday night there is
no indication Hurst took his life by
drowning in a water tank at hia farm
home Thursday. Hamilton cour.ty
officials pronounced Hurst's death a
suicide.
The relatives said Hurst was in
excellent spirits Wednesday night
and that he and his son planned to
purchase a tractor for spring farm
work. They said the only way to
determine the suply of water in the
tank was to climb to the top and
look in.
Hurst left his house early Thurs
day morning. His body was found
after his family became alarmed
over his prolonged absence.
