Rousek said. Ag students will get
together next Wednesday,' then
will have no classes Thursday, Fri

so they can get ready for the
event.
The "Rolling Rockets," profes
sional roller skating team, will
headline the indoor show this year.

section of the country as a head
line act at fairs, will be one of the
highlights of the show, which will

Extension meet
starts today
Representatives of extension
services in seven land-grant col
leges in the west central states
will convene at Lincoln today for
the opening of their annual three
day regional conference. State to
be represented include Iowa, Kan
sas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras
ka, North Dakota, and South Da
kota. Held primarily to make plans
for programs of work during
1940, the agricultural extension
workers are expected to study
means of carrying forward educa
tional programs desired by farm
people in their home communities.
Representatives of the extension
service in the United States de
partment of agriculture will sit in
on the three day conference.
Planning county extension pro
grams with farm people and the
need for land use planning will be
among the topics discussed. The
annual dinner will be held tomor
row evening, with Director W. H.
Brokaw presiding. All of the ses
sions are scheduled for the Stu
dent Union building.
Council-
(Continued from Page 1.1
tions thruout the Big Six territory
were discussed, the advantage
cited being that the many mutual
problems the councils in the Big
Six conference have in common,
could be more efficiently coped
with.
Mr. E. W. Lanbt, faculty ad
viser, voiced the hope before the
holdover election that the Coun
cil would try to keep in mind that
the "life in a Council depends on
the holdover people. He reminded
members that in the past year
"we have attempted nothing for
the good of the university as a
whole. We haven't lived up to our
party responsibility." Mr. Lantz
also remarked that "after you get
In the Council" members should
disregard party affiliations and
work for the university.
He concluded by reprimanding
the Council members for having
a political Interest and a desire for
points, and pointing out that mem
bers "aren't serious, aren't inter
ested, and have done nothing but
play politics."
Survival of trees
goal of 1 940
planting program
Survival, rather than numbers
planted, is the goal of Nebraskans
in their 1940 tree planting pro
gram. People are just a bit hesi
tant about planting large numbers
of trees now but are determined
to see that the trees get the best
possible chance to survive.
As Nebraskans observed Arbor
Day this week, farmers over the
state have put about 900,000
Clarke-McNary seedlings into the
ground. Four-H forestry club
members planted another 75,000
trees and farmers and 4-H club
members alike are going to uo
their best to obtain a high survival
of trees when they make their
count next fall.

Gushing suggests sorghum
varieties for state regions
Since considerable increased
acreage of sorghums Is expected
in Nebraska this year. A. L. Cush
ing of the ag college has passed
on to farmers some suggestions
about adapted varieties. He stated
that very few of the 100 varieties
are adapted to this state.
"Since no one variety has proved
consistently best in any region,
several are suggested and the
final choice will rest with the
grower," Cushing said. Recom
mendations for each of four Ne
braska regions, southeast, central
and southwest, northwest and
northeast are based on varietal
performance in experiment station
tests at Lincoln and North Platte
and in co-operative tests located
New pork market
develops in north
During the months since the
European war started, a new mar
ket for fresh pork has been de
veloping in Canada, according to
an ag college report received from
the United States department of
agriculture.
Under British food plans, Can
ada is obligated to ship from 230
to 290 million pounds a year of
bacon and ham into the United
Kingdom. With curing plants tak
ing so large a share of Canadian
production, Canada drew on sup
plies in the United States. Can
ada bought more than 21 million
pounds of fresh and frozen pork
from the United States last year,
as compared to only 300 thousand
pounds in 1935. The demand is
expected to continue as long as
the United Kingdom calls for de
liveries of Canadian cured pork.
And from the office of foreign
agricultural relation comes news
chat the United States has been
making further recovery of its ex
ports of lard to Latin American
countries, with sales last year
nearly four times as large as in
1935. The restoration of lard ex
ports was credited to such causes
as better economic conditions in
"ome Latin American countries,
rade agreements, and the fact
that more lard is available for sale
now than there was during the
drouth years.

Recommendations made in
cluded: For the southeast, later matur
ing varieties are advisable; Early
Kalo and Sooner may be used for
grain in the central and south
west; in the southern and north
western parts of the northwestern
region Early Kalo and Sooner may
be used, but In the western and
and northwestern sections, only
the earliest varieties will mature.
In most parts of the northeast
region grain sorghums will prob
ably not be of much importance
because of the relative dependa
bility of corn. However, in ce
tain parts of the region they may
be used to advantage.
