Hebron.—Thirteen farmers with more than 100 eorvs have enrolled in file Thayer county cow testing proj ect. They will keep daily weights of the milk of each cow and test the milk for butterfat. Feed records will also be kept. County Agent L. C. Chris tie will put out a report from these each month and at the end of the year a summary will be made of each cow. The owners will know what the milK and butterfat production of each is and also the feed cost. This w ill make it possible to weed out all of the poor producers in the herds. The next step is to learn and practice better feeding methods, Mr. Christie says. Many cows that are now poor producers would do much better if they were fed a properly balanced dairy ration, he says. After feeding and weeding comes [the breeding for higher milk produc j tion in the next generation. WASHINGTON COL'NTY.

The Women's club of Martland has also sponsored several com munity gatherings-, and are planning to give a play next week. According to Mr. Thompson, the lack of a suitable meeting place for these meetings is a drawback to their being held tnla sum mer. T^e interest that has been aroused is so keen thtat a group of those inter ested in community activities have ar ranged to consider the matter of a meeting place. SAUNDERS COUNTY. Wahoo—From present, indications the club enrollment in Saunders county this year will far surpass any previous year, says Walter F. Roberts, county agent. A Poultry < lub enrollm«4nt has just been tecelved from Mead with 2U members.

Frank Ijehtnan of Kustis, Frontier1 county, is the fanner who received . the above return. "Mr. Ia»hman, acting upon advice of his country agent, plowed the thin and unproductive clay soil shallow and sowed it with 1 1-2 bushels of oats and 2ft pounds of sweet clover in the spring of 1921," Says the agri cultural college, "He cut the oats for hay, but left enough stubble to pro tect the clover which grew rapidly, and furnished plenty of feed for the 17 cows all fall. , In 1922, he cut 12 acres of the waist high clover for 1 hay. The 3 other acres w ere left for seed, but the season was good and all the field produced seed. The shatter od seed will reseed the field. The soil should now be worth more than the sift per acre which it was worth in 1921. Sweet clover certainly has Its place in reclaiming okl wornout soils in Nebraska." Adams County Wheat Crop Month Ahead of Schedule Hastings,—Warm weather of the past few days, following a half inch of rain and some snow, has started wheat off at springlike gait, a month ahead of the usual schedule. Fields j that usually are brown until the first of April are now a bright green. As a rule, the sown wheat is the best this year. Some wheat was i sown In Septemlier and the remain- j rler, due to a long dry period, was not put in thelground until November. It Is the November w heat that looks <he best, the earlier planting appearing to be not more than two-thirds of a normal stand. In most years the early planting has produced the best ■ crops. Stanton Duron llrccdcr Sells Hops at Average of $162.50 Stanton.—Ed Kern sold 40 head of Duroc-Jers< y sows at «n average of $12.50.

Timber of Indians Important Source of Future Supply Forests in North ami West Valued at $130,000,000— Per Capita Worth Es timated at $4-30. Washington, March 11.—The atten , tion of lumbermen and timber con | servationists has been directed to the j importance of the Indian forests as , factors in the present and future lum her supply of the United States by the recent sales of great quantities of limiter by the Indian service of the Department of the Interior, according to a statement by the research de partment of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ association. The Indians own, individually and tribally, at least 7,000.000 acres of .forests of commercial importance in j 15 state* The principal Indian for {ests, whose combined area, the de partment points out, covers an extent equal to Massachusetts and Connect icut, are situated in Oregon, Washing i ton, Montana, Arizona. New Mexico, Wisconsin. California, Idaho and Min I riesota. These forests contain 15, i O00,000.000 feet of merchantable tim ber worth $100,000,000. The value of young growth, adding I $30,000,000 to this figure, fixes the per capita forest wealth of the American Indians at $410 if it were distributed among all of them. This, the research department points out, h^lps to es tablish the Indian as the wealthiest race in the world, since, with forests and other property, the per capita holdings total $2,400 as compared with $2,000 for white persons. The forest wealth alone of the Klamaths in southern Oregon is placed at $25,000. For the last 10 years the gross re turns to the Indians from their tim ber have averaged more than $1,500, 000 and are expected soon to reach 12,000,000. More than 90 per cent of these returns are net, since the ad ministrative expense is less than 10 per cent._ Whereabouts of Virden Priest Still Mystery Virdeu. 111., March 11.—<0*1 >—The whereabouts of the Rev. lather Vraniak of Vlrden, who disappeared Mondav in Kt.

He led Claude around to the wing, and through a glass door Into a big room that was all windows on three sides, above the wainscoat ing. The room whs full of boys and young men, seated on long divans or perched on the armp of easy chairs, and they were all talking at once. On cure of the couches a yopng man In a smoking jacket lay reading as composedly as if be were alone. "Five of these stfe my brothers,” said his host, "and the rest are friends.” Tlie company recognized Claude and included him jn their talk about the game. V^'hen the visitors had gone, Julius introduced his brothers, They were ail nice boys, Claude thought, and had easy, agreeable manners. The three older ones were in business, but they, too, had been to the game that afternoon. Claude had never before seen brothers who Were so outspoken nad frank With one another. To him they' were very' cordial; tht! one who was lying down came forward to shake hands, keeping the place in his book with his finger. On a table in the middle of the room were pipes and boxes of tobaceo, cigars In a glass jar. and a big Chinese bowl full of cigaret. This pro vislonment seemed the more remark able to Claude because at home he had to smoke in the cowshed. The number of books astonished him al most as much; the wainscoting all around the room was built up in open bookcases, stuffed with volumes fat and thin, and they all looked in teresting and hard used. One of the brothers hail been to a party the night before, and on coming home hail put his dress tie about the neck of a little plaster eif Byron that stood on the mantel. This head, with a tie at a rakish angle, drew Claudes at tention more than anything else in the room, and for some reasrm in stantly made him wish he lived there. Julius brought in his mother, and when they went to supper Claude was seated la-side her at on'- end of the long table. Mrs. Krlirh seemed to him very young to be the head of such a family. Her hair was still brown, and she wore it drawn over her ears and twisted in two little horns, like the ladies in old daguerreo types. Iler face. too. suggested a da guerreotype; there was something old fashioned and picturesque about it. !l«r skin had the soft vvhitntss of white flowers that have been drenched by rain,. She talked with quick gestures, and her decided little nod was quaint and very personal. Her Ipizel colored eyes peered ex pectantly over her nose, always watching to see thing" turn c-ut won derfully well: alw ays looking for some good German fairy in the cupboard or the rake box. or In the steaming vapor of washday. The boys were discussing an en gagement tlptt had Just been an nounced. and Mrs Krlirh lagan to tell Claude a long story about how this brilliant young man had come to Lincoln and met this beautiful young girl, who was already engaged to a cold and academic youth, and how after many heart burnings the beau tiful girl had broken with the wrong man and l>»<'>m« betrothed to the tight one. and flow they were so happy—and cn ry one, she asked < laude to believe, was equally happy! In the middle of her narrative Julius reminded her smilingly that sines Claude didtt t know these people, he would hardly be interested in their ro mance, hut she merely looked at him over her no»«> glasses ami said, "And is that so. Herr Julius' ' One could see that she w*s a match for them. The conversation went racing from one thing to another.

He had never heard a living person discussed and analyzed thus before. He had never lie.tr4 a family talk so much, or with anything like so much zest. ■ Here there was none of the poisonous t reticence he had always associated with family gatherings, nor the award ness ,of people sitting with hands in their lap, facing each other, each one guarding his secret or his suspicion, while lie hunted for a safe subject to talk about. Their fertility of phrase, too astonished him; how could people find so much to say about one girl? To be sure, a good deal of it sounded far fetched to him, but he sadly admitted that in such matters he was no judge. When they went back to the living 100m Julius began to pick out airs on his guitar, and the bearded brother sat down to read. Otto, the youngest, seeing a grdup of students passing the house, ran out on to the lawn and called them in—two boys, arid a girl with red cheeks and a fur stole. Claude had made for a corner, and was perfectly content to be an on looker, but Mrs. Erlich soon came and seated herself boride him. When the door* into the parlor were opened, she noticed his eyes straying to an en graving of Napoleon which hung over the piano, and made him go and look at it. She told hint it was a rare en graving. and she showed him a por trait of her great-grandfather, who was an officer in Napoleon'# army. To explain how this came about was a long story. As she talked to Claude. Mrs. Er lich discovered that his eyes were not really pale, but only looked so be cause of his light lashes. They could say a great deal when they looked squarely into hers, and she liked what they said. She soon found out that he was discontented; how he hated the Temple school, and why his mother wished him to go there. When the thrte who had been called in front the sidewalk took iheir leave. Claude rose also. They were evident ly familiars ut the bouse, and their careless exit, with a guy "Good night, everybody.'" gave him no practical suggestion as to what he ought to say or how he was to get out. Julius made things more difficult by telling hint to sit down, as It wasn't time to go yet. But Mrs. Erlich said it was time; he would have a long ride out to Temple Place. It was really very easy. She walked to the door with hirn and gave him his hat. patting his arm in a final way. “You will oome often to see us. We are going io be friends." Her forehead, with its neat curtains of brown hair, came something below Claude's chin, and she peered up at him with that quaintly hopeful ex-1 pression, as if—as If even he might turn out wonderfully well: Certainly, nobody had ever looked at him like that before. "It's been lovely," he murmured to : her quite without embarrassment, and 1 in happy unconsciousness he turned the knob and passed out through the glass door. ' ri* Be Continued Tomorrow.)
