V i 4 Cass County Farm J X Bureau Notes ; I Copy furnished from Office J. of County Agent Wainscott Canning for Contests. Cass county is assured of two can ning contests for 1936 project club members as we just received enroll ments from six women for the Ball contest and five for the one sponsored by the Kerr company. Many of these women were unable to enter the contests last year, be cause they had not prepared for it during the meat canning season. Both contests call for 1 quart of fruit, 1 of vegetables, non-acid, and 1 of meat. While canning the summer meat supply why not pick out two or three jars from which you may select one for exhibit purposes. Grass Tests Announced. Cass county farmers will have an opportunity to see a native grass plot that will be grown in this county this year in co-operation with the Soil Conservation Service and the Farm Bureau. The object of the tests is to acquaint farmers with the var ious spicies with emphasis on the correct grasses for various sections. A total of 500,000 pounds of na tive grass seed was collected in Ne braska and surrounding states last year, some of which will be used in the co-operative tests. A mechanical srippr was used in gathering the grass in large quantities and samples have been tested for purity and ger mination, and laboratory tests have proven that the seed will grow. Native grass species to be distri buted Include Big Blue Stem, Little Blue Stem, Switch Grass, Indian Grass. Blue Grama, Western Wheat grass, Sand Iteid, Alkali Drop Seed, Mountain Rice and Needle Grass. All tests will be planted in small plats, probably one-twentieth of an acre in size. Honey Demonstration. "Honey" and its many uses will be brought before the Nebraska public during March when demonstrations Ehowing the various uses of the food product are held at eleven different points in the state. Announcement of the meetings was made this week from the Nebraska College of Agri culture. Mrs. Malitta Fischer Jensen, world renowned honey expert ,is to be in the state for the demonstrations and A FTES the fire the In surance policy be comes a most important document. . . .

Mrs. .Jensen is a representative of the American Honey Institute. Beekeepers, homemakers, farmers, businessmen and all are being in vited to attend the nearest demon stration. The gatherings are being sponsored locally by county home demonstration agents in co-operation with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and Inspection, the Am erican Honey Institute, the Nebraska Honey Producers' Association and the Agricultural College extension ser vice. Cass county co-operators will have the privilege of seeing this demon stration Wednesday, March 25 at 2 p. m. at Plattsmouth. Definite meet ing place will be announced later. XiMely Topics From lha Farm and Home. Mrs. Paul Wolph remarked, when checking in her 1935 home account book, that she wa3 amazed to see how much cream the family had used dur ing the year, and felt the3' could cut down the amount another year with out skimping the table. It is a real eye-opener to many to see just how their home products contribute to their living. People are often misled by news paper publicity regarding trade treaties with other countries. The following paragraph is taken from an article written by L.. F. Garey, professor of rural economics at the University of Nebraska: "The treaty with Cuba is the only one that has been in effect long cnougu to have any tangible results. During the first year of its operation our laru exports to Cuba doubled. There has been an increase in our exports of rice, flour, potatoes, onions, and certain other vegetable products. The total value of our commodities exported to Cuba increased from 13,017,000 to $8,275. 000. This was the result of our low ering the tariff on Cuban sugar. Bel gium made concessions on a number of agricultural products, principally died and fresh fruits, Increased the quota on meat from 55,000 pounds to 2,300,000, and permited more lard imports. The United States reduced the duty on 47 products from Bel gium including plate glass, cement, various iron and steel products of which Belgium is the principal source of supply, and on certain flax prod ucts. There were no reductions of importance on farm products. Brazil made concessions on manufactured products and kept apples and pears on the free list. The United States kept coffee on the free list and re duced the duty on Brazil nuts. Swe den made concessions on fruit and on some non-agricultural items and the United States reduced the duty on some raw materials needed in in dustry and on certain industrial prod ucts made in Sweden. Considerable comment has been made concerning the treaty with Canada. There has been a statement that 84 percent of the concessions which we made were on agricultural products. This is noi a true statement, the correct figure being only 11 percent. The largest part of the 84 per cent figure men tioned consisted of pulp wood and news print which were already on the free list and had nothing to do with the treaty. No concessions were made to Canada cn farm products whictfsell on. the world markets such as wheat, cotton, tobacco, and pork Given Stars i 'Hi K i 1 f V,' ' k ' M Some concessions were made on cer tain farm products for which domes tic demand sets the price, of which potatoes, heavy cattle, cheese and cream are important itefs." Project club members are finding a real interest this month in the les son, "Flowers for Every Yard." Di viding of bulbs such as cannas, glad ioli, etc., and proper care after plant ing, as well as propagation of an nuals from cuttings so as to have winter blooms, are a part of the les son. A neat, clean yard, which looks well kept, whether it has much in the way of plantings around it or not, will add materially to the en joyment of those who pass and thus incidentally will increase the selling value of the farm. District conferences are being held in the state this week when agricul tural agents and farm leaders will be advised of the results of the Chicago conference last week end, relative to the operation of the soil conservation program. Nebraska's annual feeder's Day will be held at the University of Ne braska College of Agriculture on Fri day, April 17, it was announced this week. An outstanding event which each year attracts upward of 1500 farmers and livestock producers from all sections of Nebraska, the day's activities will be built around experi mental results on cattle feeding tests. Some out-of-state speakers will prob ably appear on the speaking program. Various protein supplements are com ared in one test when fed wth en silage in carrying calves through the winter. Soybean meal, tankage, and cottonseed are used as proteins. An other experiment compares the prac tice of wintering heifer calves and yearling heifers on ensilage both with and without a light feed of corn, and the use of a protein supplement. I If weed control in potatoes is not a major problem, the extra work of more than one good, deep, cultiva tion probably will not pay. In a 3- year test by the United States De partment of Agriculture at Prcsque Isle, Maine, one-cultivation potatoes yielded slightly more on the aver age than potatoes cultivated five times. Be ready for the first appearance of Mr. Gopher this spring, by using a poison bait prepared as follows: Cut four quarts of sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots or Irish potatoes into strips yz by by 2 inches. Wash and drain and place in a metal pen. Sift the contents of a quarter ounce box of strychnine alkaloid, sac charine poison over the cut vege tables, stirring constantly so as to distribute the poison evently. Drop a couple of strips in each main gopher burrow. Organize 4-H Clubs. It ia past timo for 4-H livestock clubs to be organized but owing to the severe weather in January and February, the usual club organiz ations were delayed until more favor able weather. Hoys and girls inter ested in belonging to clubs tal3 year should get In touch with their lead ers and organize at once so that their records may be as cofplete as pos sible. A large number of young people have signified their interest in join ing clubs this year and the first step Is to get the clubs organized in the communities where Interest warrants a club.
