Demonstrates Uses of Honey.
Honey, which is a natural food
substance has many uses aside from
being used as a spread. In order to
use it successfully one must under
stand its composition in relation to
sugar. A cup of honey weighs more
than a cup of sugar but L-ome of that
extra weight is water which neces
sitates reducing the amount of liquid
used. Some of the many ways of pre
paring and using honey were dem
onstrated in the following: How to
Measure Honey; Clarify Apples; Up
side Down Apple Cake; Ginger
Bread; Biscuit; Honey Syrup; Honey-
Meringue; Honey Butter; Honey Pea
nut Spread; Honey Nut Bread;
Hcney Scotch; Honey Carmel.
Thirty-four women and girls, in
cluding the home economics class of
the Plattsmouth high school, attend-
sented bv Mrs. Jensen, euecialist for
the American Honey Institute. Mr. 'during the winter. High March tem
and Mrs. Chas. Warga of Platts-'peratures resulted in a rapid thaw,
mouth, representing the beekeepers I With tho ground frozen to an un-
of Cass county, assisted in making
preparations for the demonstration.
Farmers Show Interest in New
Soils Conservation Program.
More than 1200 farmers attended j
the scheduled meetings throughout
the county when the new Soil Con -
servation Act was explained.
Farmers in general like the new
plan very much. The fundamental
plan of seeding more legumes to
build up soil fertility, conserve mois
ture, and shift acreages from cash
grain crops such as corn and wheat,
which are soil depleting crops, to
grasses and legumes which are soil
conserving, appeals to farmers very
much.
Many of them have expressed the
attitude that the very principle
which the new program carries
what they have wanted to do for sev-
cral years and now with a subsidy
payment for encouragement, they can
get the job done.
The fact that they do not sign a
contract but are paid for perform
ance, will eliminate much of the dif
ficulty that was-experienced In the
old AAA program.
Feed and Seed Loans
Now Available.
Application for emergency crop
loans for 1936 are now being received
at the Farm Bureau office in Weep-
fag Water, by R. J. Burke, field super
visor of the Emergency Crop and
Feed Loan Section of the Farm
Credit Administration.
The emergency crop loans will be
made only to farmers who cannot ob
tain credit from any other source,
as provided by regulations issued by
the governor of the Farm Credit Ad
ministration. The money loaned will
be limited to the farmer's immed
iate and actual cash needs for grow
ing his 1936 crops and in no instance
may exceed $200 to one farmer.
Farmers are not eligible for emer
gency crop loans if they can borrow
from an individual , production
credit association, bank or any other
concern. Farmers will also be con
sidered Ineligible if they have an
application pending with Resettle
ment Administration, have received
assistance from that organization
this year or are indebted to the Re
settlement Administration for an un
paid loan.
As in the past, the security for
an emergency crop loan will consist
of a first lien on the crop financed.
Landlord or others having an inter
est in the crop to be financed will be
required to waive their claims in
favor of a lien to the governor of
the Farm Credit Administration un
til the emergency crop loan is paid.
Checks in payment of approved
loans will be issued by the Regional
Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Of
fice at Omaha.
Plan Achievement Programs.
Group achievement programs will
appear In new dress this year in that
the main feature will be a laundry
demonstration. Other features 'will
include community singing, dialogue
on "What Makes a Good Day for the
Farm Family," a resume of the year's
work, and a social hour. Plans in
clude exhibits exemplifying the var
ious lessons of the past year, as well
as various lundry equipment.
All project club members as well
as visitors are urged to attend one of
these meetings which will be held at
the seven training centers in the
county. Watch for the announcement
of date and place of meeting fcr your
community.
Are Frozen Canned Goods Spoiled?
Many homemakers are reporting
that a great deal of their canned
I.
fruits and vegetables froze during the
covara u-on t Yt t- Thpoo woTTipn nro also
questioning the advisability of using
these products, in fact many have
thrown away their non-acid foods
such as beans and corn.
Freezing does not spoil canned
goods unless the seal is broken. If
the seal is broken the jars will spring
a leak and the produce will soon
spoil. Homemakers should watch
carefully and determine whether or
not any of the jars are springing
leaks. If so, these products souid be
used immediately or opened and re
canned. Frozen products may be used sat
isfactorily and kept indefinitely if the
seal is not broken. It would be too
bad to discard these frozen products
without making an investigation as
to whether or not they can be satis
factorily used.
Terraces Save Moisture.
Farms given erosion control treat
ment by the Soil Conservation Ser
vice have been madaged much less by
melting snow than "untreated"
farms, an inspection of the Plum
Creek project near Albion, Nebraska,
Forty-three inches of snow fell
usual depth by 41 days of sub-zero
weather, most of the water ran off of
untreated land and caused severe
sheet erosion damage. Gullies were
lengthened and deepened.
One terraced field which had been
; farmed on the contour most of the
'moisture was saved and soil losses
were small. Brush dams and other
gully control structures placed by the
Soil Conservation Service prevented
further gully damage on treated
farms.
Legumes, especially alfalfa, seeded
on rougher land served effectively to
prevent soil losses, according to C. C.
Girardot, an agronomist on the Plum
Creek project.
Onion Tops.
Use chopped green onion tops mlx-
is.ed with salad dressing, for sandwich
filling.
Add 2 cups of chopped onion tops
to 1 cup of thick cream, 'i t. salt, a
bit of pepper. Serve with mashed
potatoes.
Serve onion tops with French dress
ing on lettuce leaf as a salad.
Add onion tops chopped fine to
mashed or hashed browned potatoes.
In fow ninntM hpfnrp sprrlnr
Wilt chopped onicn tops in butter.
Serve over buttered toast sprinkled
with cheese.
Add a cup of thin white sauce to
a cup of wilter green onion tops for
variety. ( ' cup of crisp bacon to 2
cups of wilted onion tops.)
French dressing: cup oil; Va
cup vinegar; ?i t. salt; t. sugar;
Pepper, Paprika.
Combine ingredients and beat. M
cup of grated American cheese may
be added to the dressing.
Possible Seed Corn Sources.
In addition to the list of available
eed corn sources published last week,
the results of this week's testing
shows the following possibilities,
which are the high testing samples of
those submitted by farmers during
the past week or ten days:

Omission of information such as
year grown, quantity available, etc.

Elect Community Committees.
Three precinct committeemen were
elected at community meetings held
in each of the precincts the past two
weeks. Old AAA committeemen must
have done a good job as most of them
are being elected to serve on the
new community committees for the
Soil Conservation program.
Farmers Busy Planting Trees.
12,500 trees purchased by 57 Cass
county farmers through the Clarke
McNary Act, are being shipped from
Malsey, Nebraska, this week, for
windbreak plantings.
Variety of Oats Planted
for Demonstration.
Eight varieties of oats were seeded
the past week on the George Domingo
farm, one mile east and 21- north of
Weeping Water. There is an eighth
of an acre in each variety. These
varieties are seeded and also make a
good yield and mature early. The
varieties seeded In the plots are: Ne
braska 21, Iogold, Drunker, Burt,
E20, Burt 529, Burt 2491 (or Trojan)
Kanota and one good local variety.
Several of these are the latest de
veloped varieties at the Iowa and Ne
braska Experiment Stations. A field
meeting will be held at these plots
about harvest time to give farmers an
idea as to the quality of these par
ticular varieties.
Considering Pasture Problems.
Evidence that farmers are serious
ly considering re-seeding old pastures
is shown by the fact that so many
requests have come to the Farm Bu
reau office for the pasture circular on
re-seeding, soil conditions, etc, re
cently put out by the College of Agri
culture. 205 cars have been received
thus far and the requests continue
jto come in every day.
Return 1935 Farm Account Books.
The forty-four farm account books
completed in 1935 by Cass county
farmers and checked in at the end of
the year for summarization, have
been returned to their owners. The
county summary of farm accounts is
being completed at the College of
Agriculture Rural Economics Depart
ment and a copy will be given each
account keeper as scon as they are
available.

WnL Senf Death
Matter Presented Before Judge Jack
man at Nebraska City, for the
Death of Cass County Man.
Depositions figured to discredit
claims that Willard Senf, deceased,
was virtually the sole means of sup
port of his father and mother were
introduced Friday afternoon as the
defense opened its case in a $4,500
compensation case before Judge Jack
man. Senf lost his life last summer
when he slipped from a Tobin Quar
dies company barge and drowned in
the Missouri river.
Depositions from J. L. Meisinger,
collection manager of an Omaha
credit agency, and Bertha Ault,
Louisville boarding house operator.
were introduced in an effort to show
that Senf had purchased a new auto
mobile and had spent money liber
ally. Glen Watkins, foreman for Tobin
Quarries, defendants in the suit, was
the only witness called by the defense
Friday afternoon. He told of Senf's
social activities, relating of numer
ous trips to dances and frequent
"dates" with girl3.
At one time, Watkins said, it had
been necessary to suspend the man
because he wasn't paying enough at
tention to his work. He was later
reinstated.
Earlier In the day Carl Senf, WI1
lard's brother, testified that he had
given an old car to his dead brother
to be used as a down payment in a
trade for a new auto. He further
testified he had made all the subse
quent payments. -
William Senf, the father, said that
his son -had contributed $40 to $50
a month all of the time and some
times as much' as $80 and $90 a
month toward support of the family.

GR0CEHS TO SUE COUNTY
Omaha. The Omaha Retail Groc
ers association is prepared to bring
I suit against Douglas county for un
paid 1935 relief bills. The associa
tion voted to press the claim and ap
pointed a committee to handle the
job. C. E. Stubbs, secretary of the
association, will bring suit as trus
tee. The association also informally dis
cussed the action of Commissioner
Jacobberger, chairman of the county
board, in holding up 14 relief, gro
cery orders pending investigation.
Jacobberger previously said he was
holding up the orders because they
included "unnecessary items, such
as bacon and oranges," and excessive
amounts of bread.
President Frank Bosanek of the
association suggested that if Jacoo
berger studied the system of giving
relief orders, "he would find the or
ders he calls excessive are for an
entire month." He explained such
items as oranges by saying each case
is investigated, and if the condition
of the family requires certain other
wise non-staple items, they are in
cluded in the orders.
