FARMER ORGANIZATIONS.
IN SESSION AT FARM
Various Agricultural Groups Are
Addressed by Many Interest
ing Speakers.
Ten farmers' organizations held
meetings at the University State Farm
yesterday. The big afternoon meeting
was the Nebraska Farm Bureau Feder
ation at which Elmer Youngs, presi
dent, gave his yearly address. The
meeting evolved into a discussion as
to what line of service the Bureau
should undertake first.
Prof. J. H. Frandsen, now with the
Capper publications, asserted that the
dairy cow is now of immense assist
ance in becoming the market and sav
ing the financially distressed farmer.
The dairy' cow produces human food
cheaper than any other farm an'mal
in converting roughage and by-products
of factories and mills into
nourishing foods. A man in the dairy
business can endure a crises of low
prices better than those engaged in
other branches of farming.
The extension work of the dairy de
partment for 1921 was outlined by
Prof. M. N. Lawritson. He urged con
centration upon one single problem
and the improvement of the breeding
of dairy cattle.
Home Economics Meeting.
Community spirit was emphasized
by Miss Brown of the Kansas exten
sion seivice. Modern conveniences
are tending to destroy community life
and directing farmers toward per
sonal pleasures.
Miss Anna Jurgens of Mingtare,
and, Mrs. Harry Nigh of Mead, dis
cussed the community spirit phase in
its connection with boys and girls of
the farm, the mothers' clubB and
country churches.
Miss Mary Maxwell of Dakota City,
deprecated the way In which ex
service men wer treated after they
had taken off their uniforms. Mrs.
E. F. rettis of Lincoln, described the
work carried on by the "citizenship
schools of the state.
Wallace Speaks Today.
Mr. Henry Wallace of Des Moines,
editor of Wallace's Farmer and promi
nently mentioned for President-elect
TTardins's cabinet, will address the
Farm Bureau meeting this morning.

ings. ' Officials are unanimous in pro

beneficial in the history of Organized

Schiscler's Protegee Again on Home
Floor After Defeating Illinois
and Wesleyan.
GRINMELL COMES NEXT
Will Start Workouts on Coliseum
Next Week Preparatory to First
Home Games.
Coach Schissler returned to Lin
coln with the Hu8ker Lasket ball
squad yesterday morning. The squau
is in pretty fair shape considering
the threehard games played on the
trip. The trip was in the nature
of a pre-scason workout for the squad
and allowed Coach Schissler to get
a good lineup on the men.
The sporting scribes of the Chicago
paptys and other papers who follow
the Illinois basket ball team com
nicnt very highly on the grade of
basket ball displayed by the Cora-
huskers.
John Schomar, who is a Big Ten
referee, spoke of the Huskers as
displaying the fastest floor work and
the best passing he had seen i"or a
long time. He mentioned that the
Huskers would have no difficulty in
capturing the Big Tin pennant if Ne-"
braska was a member of the con
ference. In defeating the Indians the Husk
ers beat one of the best teams in
the conference. In ten years of bas
ket ball the Illinois five have not
been lower than third in standing
and were tied for second place last
year. The Illinois quintet had tnree
of last year's men back to lorm a
nucleus for the first team. Two men
reported for work to complete the
quintet that were just as good or bet
ter than the two men lost by gradu
ation. Critics Praise Huskers.
Every sporting writer who saw the
Husker quintet in action rated the Ne
braska athletes abave the Illinois men
as basket ball players.
Forty-five hundred people witnessed
thi contest Monday night and five?
hundred more had to be turned .rway.
Coach Schissler reports that there
could not have possibly been more
spirit and fight shown than if the
team was playing for the champion
ship of the Big Ten.
Coach Winters of the Illinois team
expressed his desire that a series of
games be arranged between the? Husk
ers and the Indians every year and
that it be made an annual affair. The
Illmois team will journey to Lincoln
next year and train on the Kuskcr
floor the same as did the Nebraskans
this year.
Had Strong Team.
Illinois Wesleyan is rated as i
second sclass school but thai they
have a real basket ball quintet is
shown by their record thus far thit

Wesleyan team to the tune of 30 to
