He brought It home and it was carefully developed at the university. Today, this oat is known as Kherson and 90 per cent of the cats grown In Nebraska are of this variety or related varieties developed by the university. The value of this discovery to the state is estimated at $2,880,000 each year. This estimate is based on the conservation increase per acre yield of just four bushels. \gricultural College # Makes Building Plans At least S1 :t of the 1.570 sets of blueprints distributed by t! agricul tural college during 1952 it«rp used by farmers in constructing faint, build ings. Of the other 757 sets distributed no record of u-e has as yet beeif re ceived. The 1922 derrjpnd for blue* prints was an increase of almost 300 per cent over the distribution In 1921. Building programs have been post poned by many farmers during the past year or two because of financial conditions, but many plans are being made to use the blueprints when money is again available.

The dictionary prefers the academic Latin pronuciation of gla-di-olus, but the common usage is gladi-o-lus, and sec ond choice in many of the newer dictionaries. The rugged hardiness of the gladi olus and its willingness to grow lust ily and bear large, exquisitely beauti ful blooms under a wide range of climate and soil conditions, is what makes it so dear to the heart of the home gardener. Commercially, flor ists find a ready and profitable sale of the blooms at all times. Gladiolus prefer a sunny situation, with good, rich soil, such, ns is found in any good garden, and grows luxuri- , antly if planted about four inches ! deep and about a foot apart in the row. The more room given the bulbs, I the larger and better the blooms. Give water If weather Is dry, and keep weeds down. Cultivation should be shallow, but thorough, and mod erate billing up will often counteract any. tendency for the tall spikes to fall over. Diseases are happily rare with this flower, but one called scab, on the bulbs, is the most cothmon and im portant ope. This is easily prevented by giving the bulbs a thorough soak ing for one to two hours in a solu tion of one ounce of formaldehyde to four gallons of water. This is best done just before planting. There Is a gladiolus club in this country with 2,500 members, and In almost every neighborhood enthusias tic growers can l>e found, as it is truly the poor man's orchid. The bulbs cost but a few cents for the commoner ones, and they are just as fine and beautiful as the more ex pensive, newer, rarer kinds. Practical Course for Rural Schools Fillmore County Pupils Dem onstrate Benefits of Vital ized Agriculture. Sppfial Pi-patrh to The Omaha lirr. Falrbury Neb., April 8.—The plan of educating boys and girls in the rural schools is rapidly changing. Quite a number of Fairbury people at tended a school rally at Gladstone, a little town in the western part of Jef ferson county. A demonstration of the w’ork of vitalized sericulture in 11lie rural schools ven by the pupils o? u school under the lean it...,,, the teacher, Miss Blanche Leihty. The work scents practical. The pupils had written to several manu facturers of rope for practical infor mation In reference to the manufac ture of rope in its several stages, and three of the boys, about 12 years old, explained what they had learned. The boys had blue prints and each of them had constructed a simple de vice for making rope and made on the stage a piece of one fourth-inch rope of even strand in loss than 20 minutes, using a ball of binding twine for material. A demonstration of knot tying with ropes followed by children of from 10 to 13 years of age. Nine different knots and their practical uses were shown. After the rope was completed and the knots tied the manufactured article and the assortment of nine knots were exhibited to the crowd. A plow was brought on the stage, and a small boy named the 14 parts of the implement and showed how to set the point for shallow and deep plowing. Another division of the boys had written an automobile factory for a history of the plant, and one of the pupils guve a 10 minute talk on the' parts of the car and its care. This is vitalized agriculture as taught in Jeffetison county, the only! county in Nebraska giving the course j it. the rural schools. Osceola Man Wins Honors at College Merwyn Heald Breaks All Scholarship Records at Northwestern. Merwyn Heald, a. junior at North western university engineering school, again has broken all records for scholarship, according to anannounce nient by Director John F. Uayford. At the end of tho first semester, just closed, Mr. Heald had an average mark of 04.2 for 81 semester hours of work. This is said -by Director Hayfnrd to he the highest mark ever secured by a junior in the engineer ing school at the end of the first semester. Mr. Heald is married and resides in Chicago. There is a little baby In the family, and the father not only goes to his classes at Northw'estern but works Itt his spare time to help pay expenses. Notwithstanding these conditions, his marks are the highest on record, and he Isn't killing him self making the grade, he says. "I am 26 and came from Osceola. Neb," he said. “While my father is in the banking business, most of my relatives are farmers. None of them have been engineers, so far as I know. I nearly always manage to get seven hours sleep each night and won't study when my eyes begin to feel heavy.” Director Hayfold said "he attributes Heald's remarkable showing to the young man’s natural ability, on one side, and to the power to concentrate, on the other. “He is an exceptional student,” | commented Director Hayfold, "and nothing too good can be said of him."

Extension Service Judge* Help Nebraska County Fairs One hundred ninety nf the official judges at 67 Nebraska county fairs In 1922 were furnished through the agri cultural college extension service. These men and women hung the rib bons on everything from the best horse to the prize class of jelly. Seventy eight men Judged livestock, 29 placed the poltry, a,nd 39 men plac ed the farm crops. Forty-one women experts placed the cooking, canning and sewing exhibits. A few others Judged boys' and girls’ demonstra tions. All of these Judges gave reasons for their placlngs to the crowds who watched them work. Those who had had previous experience found more interest shown In these reasons last year than ever before. They also noted marked Improvement In the quality of products exhibited. This Is attributed to the application nf sug gestions made by former Judges. The extension service will he ready to furnish as many or more Judges the coming year. Cost of Farm Prorluctg Causes Warm Discussion Tn a meeting in Nebraska one far mer said to his ncighhor, "Bill, how much corn does it tako to produce 100 pounds of pork?" Bill could not j tell, neiher could any of the other 12 | men present. One of the men sug- j gested that the price of corn was get ting pretty close to the price of hogs. None could tell Just how close because local farm data was lacking Plenty of data was available from the agri cultural college, but the men were not sure that they could feed ns effi ciently as the college. As s result of t the question, two of the m»n decided j to keep a record of their pounds of ; gain in hog weight and a feed record, and report hack to their local meeting next year. »'op|es of an enterprise cost sheet for the hog business were secured from the county extension agent.. Some of the other men present called for eost sheets for other farm enterprises. Am KKTISrMFNT. . Lift Off with Fingers Doesn’t hurl n bit!

It is rather surprising to know, how ever. that we need not leave Nebraska to find farms allowed to go to weeds. For instance, within HO miles of Lin coln there are farms which have fallen so low in production that no one wants to farm them at any rental figure. On one such 80-aere farm the crop for the past two years ha's been sunflowers. The element most apt to be lacking in Nebraska soils is nitrogen. Nitro gen is supplied by decayed organic matter and by such crops as alfalfa, red clover and sweet clover. Trials of | commercial fertilizers have not up to I the present time shown a profit any where in the state. The use of ! manure, straw, cornstalks ami the I growing of legumes coupled with live stock farming are the host means of keeping up soil fertility. Tills is a good time to be planning for the seed ing of alfalfa, red clover and sweet clover the coming season. Landlords may well consider the sowing of legumes on their farms and over a series of years will find such a prac tice profitable. 6ulletins giving in formation regarding alfalfa, red clover and sweet clover, can lie secured from county extension agents or the agricultural college.
