4-H Clubbers
Feeding Many
Baby Beeves
Looking Forward to Marketing and
Showing;, Some Thirty Members
Now Feeding; Beeves.
Looking forward to marketing: and
showing choice beeves next fall,
about thirty Cass county 4-H club
members now have 7G baby beeves
on feed. Most of the animals are go
ing into the feedlots weighing from
.10 0 to 400 pounds. Sixty-three of
these calves were purchased direct
from Cherry county ranches. The oth
ers were bought in Omaha or locally.
Farm boys enrolled in the 4-H
baby beef feeding now include: Clyde
Althouse, Cleo Bergman, Marion
Wulf, Myrl and Harlan Kimz, James
and Stuart Mills. Nagel Bricker, Ver
non, Warren, Donald and Naomi
Kikli, Erwin Schlaphoff. Robert Wag
oner, Robert Schneider, Paul Eve
land. Harold Domingo, James, Kath
leen and Ruth Schafer, Robert and
Arthur Poliard, Lyman Rehmeier,
Robert Nickles. Reginald Jorgensen,
Raymond and Oscar Brandt.
Most all of these members have
sufficient feed to finish their calves
which is a different situation than
they had last year. The members are
not expecting such high prices as
they received for their calves last
year however. Cheaper feed will
make for more economical gains and
they can receive considerable less at
market time and still have a profit
able feeding project.
Most of the calves are being start
ed on alfalfa and ensilage, with one
and a half pounds daily of protein
supplement such as cottonseed meal,
soybean or linseed meal or a mixture
of them. The early grain ration is
composed of about half oats with
ground ear corn or barley or a mix
ture of them.
Many times club members have
been disappointed when calves on a
full ration of corn during winter
months failed to feed as well during
summer months. Most feeders feel
that if the animals are fed too gen
erously and reach too high a state
of finish during the winter that they
will little mere than hold their own
during the summer.
The members probably have the
best quality calves they have ever
had to start with. These calves
should make a good accounting of
themselves next fall.

inadequate to fill the demand.

Distributing
Toys to Scores of
Homes Today
Auxiliary Ladies Making Rounds of
City with Truck Provided by
Ofe Oil Company.
From Thursday's Daily
In their widespread distribution of
toys to children throughout the city,
and food baskets to the families of
needv service men, the American
Legion Auxiliary ladies have been
given the service of the Ofe Oil Com
pany delivery truck and a driver. As
the homes to be visited are located
at scattered points over the city, it
became necessary to have a truck to
get about promptly.
Employes at the Recreation Cen
ter have put more than 350 toys in
repair, ready for the distribution that
is now under way. This is the larg
est number ever salvaged and the
ladies are particularly grateful to
the Cass theatre for providing the
free matinee show, the Journal for
publicity and the Recreation Center
for its services in. getting them re
paired and ready to distribute, as
well as to Ofes for the use of their
truck.
Those who gave toys will derive
satisfaction in knowing that they
are going into scores of homes that
would undoubtedly have had little if
any gifts, making youngsters happy
and confirmed in their belief that
"there is a Santa Claus."
The method of selection was ar
rived at through a co-operative ef
fort carried out in the schools, with
all children writing letters to Santa
Claus telling what they wanted, and
passing of such letters from needy
children into the hands of the Auxil
iary committee.
Mr3. Otto Keck, chairman of the
Child Welfare committee, has had a
great deal to do with the success of
this program, aided by many of the
Auxiliary members.
The distribution of food baskets to
the families of needy ex-service men
has been handled by the Rehabilita
tion committee of which Mrs. Robert
Cappell is chairman.
MARRIED AT OMAHA
The marriage of Miss Mary Ellen
Byers of this city and Mr. Joseph A.

lines read by Judge J. W. Battin of
the Omaha municipal court.
The young people returned to this
city after the ceremony and expect
later to locate at North Platte.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Byers and was born
and reared in this city, graduating
here from the high school in 1932.
The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. McNeill of North Platte and
where he has made his home until

Oscar Linville
Loses Foot in an
Auto Accident
While En Route to This City to Visit
with Sister, Mrs. Greeley Beil,
Meets With Accident.
Robert Linville, 27, 629 South
19th street, Omaha, was severely in
jured Sunday in a car-truck accident
at 2 4th and Q streets, and is now at
the Nicholas Senn hospital at Omaha
suffering from the effects of his in
juries. Mr. Linville was driving to this
city to visit his sister, Mrs. Greeley
Beil at the farm south of Plattsmouth
and had with him as passengers,
liownrd Channel. 23 and Ruth Lar-
son, IS.
The car was going south on 24th
street when a milk truck driven by
Richard Shovgaard, Route No. 5,
South Omaha, drove into the roadway
and the car of Mr. Linville crashed
into the truck.
In the accident Mr. Linville had
foot practically cut off, reports
one
from the hospital stated Sunday and
suffered a leg fracture as well. The
other passengers in the car suffered
head injuries, while Mr. Shovgaard
and his brother, Russell, IS, riding
with him, were unhurt.
Mr. Linville is a former resident
here and was employed for some time
by the A. W. Farney Co., as a cook on
one of their quarter boats here, but
has been living at Omaha for some
time past.
CORN LOAN UNDERWAY
All local and state machinery is
now set up for handling federal
corn loans under the 1937 program
and Cass county farmers can secure
detailed information from the Agri
cultural Conservation office.
A total of about twenty farmers
here have already made formal appli
cation for the fifty cent loan. Results
of moisture sample tests made at
the state ACP office in Lincoln indi
cate that the corn to be put under
seal is a high-grade product.
I! is expected that about 6,000
corn loans will be made to Nebraska
farmers this year. Locally, probably
150 farmers will take advantage of
the opportunity of sealing up their
1937 crop.
Under the 1937 program, farmers
may borrow on eligible corn, prop
erly stored in well-constructed, seal
ed cribs on their farms, at the rate
of 50 cents per bushel of two and
one-half cubic feet, or more, depend
ing upon the moisture content of
the corn. The volume of corn re
quired to equal a bushel of corn will
be increased above the two and one
half cubic feet by two per cent for
each one per cent in moisture content
over 14 per cent.
This offers a protection to the
borrower since it gives him assur
ance that after shrinkage, there will
be enough corn in the crib to satisfy
the collateral requirement. No fed
Mai loans will be available on corn
testing more than 20 per cent mois
ture. Loans will bear an interest
charge of 4 per cent. Loans made in
December will run for 10 months,
while those made after January 1,
193S will mature November 1, 1938.
TO VISIT HERE
From Friday's Daily
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dashner of
near Glenwood and Mr. and Mrs.
George Kozacek of Omaha will be
