The tree now lirinij from the

in the nawlliill region, according to
Mr. llitiRins. After IS year of
study and application of scientific
research, a hardy cla of nursery
stotk has been developed, which,
when olauted in the sandiest of
iaudhills, wilt thrive and make a
catisfactory growth, the supervisor
declared.
Special Plow Used.
"To eliminate the eoiupelition for
moisture by the native vegitatiou.
a furrow is plowed, in the botoin of
w hii li a special plow makes a 'suita
ble trench in which the trees are set
and the sand well tamped about the
tree roots." according to Mr. Ilig
gins. explaining the process o', tree
planting. "The trees arc planted at
the rate of about 1.500 to 1.800 per
acre.
" This year's output of trees will,
at this rate, plant approximately 1,
fXK) acres of sandhills. The acreage
of previous years' plantings total
nearly 6,500, while if present plans
materialize, the largest acreage ever
planted on this project will be ac
complished within the next 30 days.','
The Nebraska National forest in
cludes a total of 205.000 acres of the
roughest of the Nebraska sandhills,
and .is the only one of the national
forests that is essentially a reforesta
tion project, Mr. Higgins asserted.
This, area of sandhill land was set
aside by proclamation in 190J, and
the next year work was started dc
vel6ping a nursery site for growing
trees to be planted on the thousands
of acres of handbills which are nat
urally well adapted for the growing
of the coniferous tree, according to
Mr. Higgins.
First Planting in 1920.
The first planting done In 1920 has
developed into a veritable forest,
Mr. Higgins stated, manv of the
trees being 30 feet high. 'The orig
inal heavy stand of grass has given
way1 to a thick floor of decaying
needles." which, it is expected, will
materially change and improve the
character of the soil.
The survival of the trees planted
in the past has been good, the su
pervisor stated, the survival in 1911
being 88 per cent of the trees plant
ed and thinnings soon will be neces
sary. About 60 to 70 per cent of the
trees have lived, based upon an
average.
In addition to reforesting its own
lands, the federal government is en
couraging planting of trees for
woodlots and shclterbclts in the
sandhill region. Each year, since
1912, applicants living within the
Kinkaid district have been furnished
trees- without charge from the Bessey
nursery, and many thriving planta
tions are being started throughout
the sandhill region from trees fur
nished by the government.
Wool Marketing Pool

Steps for the organization of a
wool pool in Nebraska, through
which wool producers can market
their product co-operatively, have
been taken by the Nebraska Farm
Bureau federation.
Questionnaires have been sent to
al! counties to nether information re
specting the number of producers

market their wool through the pool.
After this information is gathered a
meeting will be called at some cen
tral point in the state, probably
Grand Island, where the final ar
rangements will be completed.
While there is no accurate estimate
on the amount of wool that will be
produced in the state this vear, it is
be,ieved that at least 200,000 pounds
can be handled through the pooL
Most of the Nebraska wool is

At tliit time, when every stockman
r-nd farmer it debating the que
lion, "What i the most practical cat
tle for me to raise, it eem a very
tasv iiuestiou to answer if the answer
is, "Ihe cattle that will make me the
most profit for the amount of money
,n n time invested in them," so when
bringing the question down to a
point, it reads, "What is the most
profitable cattle for me to raise now."
I will give a few reasons why the
tnoi:ern polled Hereford is. the most
practical and profitable cattle for the
farmer and stockman to raise. The
meaning of "practical." when applied
to rattle, i a type that more near
ly meets all expectations that the
grower has for them and can he the
most economically grown ami de
veloped by any farmer or stockman
en any feeds that can be raised on
his farm, and when finished, will sell
for a figure that will pay all expense
of the feed and care and a reasonable
profit for the risk and investment.
Beef Ultimate End.
We are all aware that the ultimate
end in the beef producing industry is
to meet the demands made upon it
bv the public bv way of the meat
block. Therefore, the efforts of the
breeder, the grower, the feeder and
the packer must he gauged by how
well and how economically he can
meet this demand. If two men can
supply a given trade with any com
modity equal in variety, quality and
nuantity, but one of them can pro
duce it more economically than the
other, it must be admitted that the
man who is getting the best returns
for his products is getting the most
practical results. So it is with cat
tle, when one man is producing a
type of cattle that meets the popular
rpproval of the critical buyers and
another man is producing a type that
nobody wants, but buys because they
rre offered for less mony, both types
taking the same amount of feed, care
etc., it stan 1s to reason that the type
meeting the popular approval of the
buyers, is the most practical type to
produce.
The first consideration, but not
the foremost, in producing a choice
cut to meet competition on the
butcher's block is the dam of the
steer that is to furnish the carcass
for this cut. Most any cow will de
liver a calf and raise 'it, if given or-
inart. rari anrt fH Kiif tn tuppf tUt
flecn competition that the cattle
feeder comes in contact with at all
market points, this cow should be
able to deliver a calf that inherits
the ability to convert its feed con
sumed into development that will
produce the most dollars' worth of
meat and be ready tor the block in
the shortest nossible time. .
In order for this cow to deliver a
calf with these essentials, she must
necessarily have been bred for
these characteristics herself for sev
eral generations. The scronger she
is bred for them, the more nearly
the height of perfection is attained
by her calves.
Can Raise Calves. .
After she has i delivered this calf
with the inherited ability as a meat
producer, she must be able to tur
nish it with milk enough to give it
a good start in growth. But to de
velop a physical constitution to
stond out-door, general all-around
knocks that he will be subject to be
fore he is ready for the meat block.
he must inherit a character that will
cause him to learn at an early age,
to start rustling for himself, thus
not to depend on. milk alone, but to
harden his development with other
teens that are placed before him
in order that by the time he is 6
to 8 months old, he is well grown,
hardened in development somewhat.
and has established the ability to
handle all kinds of feed and to keep
on growing oir them. If this cow
is the "practical'' cow and has been
given practical feed and plenty of it,
she will be front 4 to 6 months in
calf again by this time, and by the
time her previous calf is a year old."
weighing from 700 to 1,000 pounds,
she will have delivered another one.
The foremost consideration for
the production of practical cattle is
the sire of the steer that is to make
the competitive test for the block.
If he is one of the practical beef-
producing type and has the ability
to transmit it to his progeny, he
will come nearer fulfilling the re
quirements, when crossed on a fair
to common cow, than will the good
cow when crossed on the fair to
poor bull. The steers from a good
sire will come nearer meeting all
the necessary essentials that go to
make up a practical type.
Produce Choice Cuts.
This sire of "practical" cattle must
be able to produce a type that is
strong in vitality at - birth, not
necessarily large. They should be
rugged, well-boned,' good depth of
body and uniform in color and
markings. He must also be able to
instill in his calves the ability to
produce meat for the feed consumed
and this meat must be the cuts that
demand the better prices, such as
sirloin, porterhouse and round, and
not all shoulder, neck and ribs.
All these essential points that are
necessary to the makeup of the prac
tical cattle are incorporated in the
modern polled Hereford. The breed
is a direct decendent of the original
LHercfords. Its origin being a few
head of registered Herefords that
freakishly failed to develop horns,
and consistent breeding of the
offspring and crossing back to the
horned family occasionally, have re
sulted in the present day polled
Herefords being able to take their
place with the leading breeds of beet
cattle.
The cows are large, roomy mat
rons, measuring well in comparison
to their horned ancestors. It's not
unusual to see them weighing 1,500
to 1.800 and some are known to
weigh over a ton. They are good
mothers, good disposition and rog
tlar breeders, a calf every 11 to 12
months is the rule rather than the
exception. The calves a'e born
small of stature, but with plenty
of vitality, the cow giting a nirdi.
nut quantity of milk rich in quality,
they soon grow into duskiness.
150 Herds in Nebraska.
The polled Hereford breed, ai a
practical cattleman's breed, i well
established. More than 150 herd
in Nebraska are putting their best
effort in producing thcni. and every
herd is managed by a practical cattle
man ami not a rich man w ho it nuk
ing a hobby of it or a side-line to hit
other bobbies. It make a din'ereiue
when a man goes to buy a real good
bull whether he must compete
against a nun who measures hi
dollar by the same scale that hi
prospective customer dor or if two
men compete in the bidding for the
same animal, if one' scale of value
are low and hi ability to pay it high,
and the other man' is vice versa, it'

be commercially applied for sale or

signs of livestock culture as in the
selection of good breeding stork or
in a purebred herd. Too many farm
