the newly painted interior, will
give the old building an entirely
new and attractive appearance.
One of the moat striking
changes is the white enameled
stairway, which has replaced thl
dark varnish stain. Most of the
remodeling has been necessitated
by moving the theory department
from its former location In Mor

building.
The ground floor ha been
turned into Urge classrooms, a
reading room and listening room,
replacing the several small studios

Attendance records of former
years at the annual two day tur
key grading school at the Ne
braska college of agriculture were
shattered as the crowd increased
to around the 200 mark late Fri
day. The turkey dinner Friday
night at the activities bunding was
the climax of the school, with writ
ten examinations on grading Sat
urday completing the school.
Those who pass the examina
tions will be eligible for a grading
license under federal-state stand
ards. Instructions on grading and
care of birds completed the pro
gram.
Practically every commercial
turkey growing area in Nebraska
was represented at the meeting
More than 200 growers packed the
meats laboratory on the campus
for the Friday sessions, with
around a hundred taking the
examinations Saturday. Included
in the crowd were many women
indicating they have an interest
not only in farm chicken flocks
but also in turkeys.
Better turkey dinners.
The turkey which the average
Nebraska housewife sets on her
Thanksgiving table thi3 year will
be better in quality than ever be
fore, II. G. F. Hamann, agricul
tural marketing specialist for the
U. S. department of agriculture
predicted following a dcmonstia
tion of grading methods. The
same holds true for housewives
thru the nation, he added.
It appears now that more than
30 million pounds of turkeys will
be marketed under federal grades
thruout the nation this year an
all time record, Hamann pointed
out. This represents an increase
of around 5 million pounds over
last year.
A. E. Anderson, state and fed
eral statistician, estimated that
the 1939 turkey production in Ne
braska will hit a new all time high
mark of 840,000 birds compared
to 600,000 produced in 1938 or an
increase of about 40 percent. The
average number produced for the
five years of 1931-1935 was 409,
000 birds.

that in view of crop conditions and
decreases in other types of live
stock that there should be an in
crease in turkey production this
year." That turkey production is
"big business" in Nebraska was
indicated by the fact that the 1928
crop was valued at $1,267,000.
R. B. Willard, representing the
Nebraska department of agricul
ture and inspection, observed, "We
had a hard time finding a commer
cial grade of turkey that's the
lowest in the coolers here, to use
in the demonstration. That cer
tainly wasn't true at the grading
schools here a few years ago."
Prof. F. E. Mussehl, head of the
poultry department, presided at
opening sessions. J. R. Redditt,
extension poultryman, Prof. H. E.
Alder and J. H. Claybaugh, assist
ant extension poultryman, took
