In welcoming students back to
the college of agriculture of the
university this year, there is one
point that seems to be worthy of
special mention.
That is the fact that despite an
other year of drouth and setback
in agricultural production in Ne
braska, our enrollment in agri
cultural courses continues to in
crease. This indicates that the
young agriculturally-minded men
are determined to understand ag
ricultural problems and that they
believe their solution will be found
thru education.
The field of home economics Is
coming to be more and more im
portant from both the practical
and professional standpoint. Our
home economics curriculum is be
coming more specialized and
better adapted to fill needs in pro
fessional fields in which women
excel.

apple crop
35-40 of fruit yield
remains in 80 acre
NU orchard at Union
Those hot, dry, windy days
played havoc with the university's
apple crop, Prof. C. C. Wiggans,
head of the department of horti
culture, declared yesterday. More
apples of several varieties were on
the ground than on the trees by
Saturday, he pointed out.
This year's crop prospects were
exceptionally good Wiggens ex
plained, until late summer, and
then, with the unusually hot.
windy weather early in September,
counts in the 80 acre university
orchard at Union showed only 35
to 40 percent of the apples left on
the trees.
Jonathans suffer most.
The Jonathan variety suffered
most, the department head said.
This variety, which ripens usually
early in September, was "top
picked," that is the apples on the
tops of the trees that showed a
little color were picked first. This
picking was done when the hot
winds started, and when the crew
went back to pick the rest of the
crop which had not ripened, most
of the apples were on the ground.
More than 1,000 bushels were
picked off the ground, he com
mented! Later varieties, such as the
winesap and black twig, have fal
len also to some extent, he said,
with some dropping in the golden
delicious and serious dropping in
the grimes. The delicious varietv
he remarked, stayed on the trees
rainy well and there was little
loss.
Condition is state-wide.
This condition prevails thruout
me siaie also, with many orchards
suffering losses. The Jonathan ap
ples that dropped are not seriously
injured, he declared, since they
were nearly ripe in most cases,
but among the later maturing va
rieties the dropping will mean a
serious loss. The older the orchard
the worse the drop, he pointed out.

job-minded
ag students
Ag students are job-minded this
year, say faculty members in
charge of student employment on
the campus, as time for classes to
begin brings nearly a thousand
students back to school.
More boys work than girls, they
say, pointing out that last year
more than fifty percent of the
girls had at least some work, but
more than eighty percent of the
boys enrolled had jobs.
Seniors do technical work.
The work these students do
ranges from tending furnaces to
the most technical kind of research
work, with upperclassmen holding
down most ot the more technical
jobs.
"Prospective freshmen are job
hunting, too," declared C. E.
Booth, in charge of boys' employ
ment, and Mrs. Angeline Ander
son, who has charge of girls' work.
Booth forsees a big demand for
part-time work this fall, indicat
ing that the students that enter
college are going to need work
to pay their way.
More jobs to freshmen.
Mis. Anderson, discussing the
work problem as it concerns the
girls, said that of the 285 girls
registered last year, slightly more
than 200 worked, and that these
girls earned more than $25,000
timing the year. She pointed out
that more freshmen and sopiio
more girls work than upperclass
men, althought the percentage of
girls working runs as high as
fifty percent in all classes. Fresh
men run about fifty-five percent,
with sophomores about sixty-four,
according to last year's figures.
the winds and heat much better
than the mature trees.
Student picking crews have been
put to work cleaning up the apples
that have dropped. This unprece
dented dropping has rushed the
work of caring for the fall crop,
and the horticulture department is
working overtime to take care of
the green apples as well as keep
up with the regular picking.
