CREATING: A FRESH Edd SUPrLY The long-suffering local grooer in some communities has a hard propo sition to sell the consumor "strictly fresh eggs" from thoso that aro often offered him. Ho would like to buy better eggs and could afford .to pay more for thorn if ogg of certified quali ty were offered in such numbers that ho oould build up a fresh ogg trade. It is hold by the department of farm management at the University Farm that practically tho only way that the consumer can get satisfaction (and get eggs that iu tho long run will really be cheaper despito the fact that they may coat a little more), tho only way that tho merchant may mako a fair profit, and tho only way tho f armor may get what f rosh eggs are worth is to oouporate. If an association of several egg producers will agreo to furnish oggs bearing tho dato of laying on eaoh ogg, together with nnmo or number of tho produoor, and furnish them regularly and in suoh quanitios that they may he recognized in the market, thoro sooms little donbt that -It would work an ccouomio benefit for the cntiro community. ' AMALYZINa FARM EFFICIENCY The farm management survey Is a new line of extension work that has just been undertaken by tho Unitod States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Extension Service of the College of Agrioultnre, Tho plan is' to viBit as many farms in a community as 1b nocoBsary, usu ally about 100, and to take of eaoh a record of the farm business for ono year. Theso reoords aro secured by personal conference. They aro fig ured, studied carefully, and a summ ary is roturned to tho farmer. No in dividual record is mndo puhlio without his consent. Tho objoot is to point out dearly tho most profitable farm systems of tho regiop, to annalyzotho BVBtouia, show how thoy aro tho most profitable, and wherein they differ from thoBO of unsuccessful farms. This lino of work is also expected to inoreaBe greatly tho efficiency of tho county agricultural agoutu or farm demonstrators, Farmers in regions not reaobod by a special survoy muv bavo thoir reoord workod np by filling oat a special prepared blank whioh may bo had from tho Agricultural Extension Service, University Farm, Linooln, DO YOU RATHE OANE?

COMMUNITY ULTJB8 POPULAR Five popular rural community clubs have been organized reoently in Kim- lHeesnty, Programs consist of talks and debates on live farm topics, foll owed by a short cntt "tninment of niiulo and recitations. A most ovcry person in the community i ttends theso meetings and all tako part in tho pro grams, which aro uonnlly given in a uirnlsohoolhouso.

WIIKHE TO OROW DURUM WHEAT Durum wheat can be rocomondod as a spring orop for points in Nebraska west of Niobrara, Holdrege, and Bro ken Row, according to rnports from growers and tho results of tho Btato oxporiment stations at Lincoln und North Platte. In 1902 tho average yield scoured from d literal t points in the state was 12 bushels an aero for ordinary spring wheat i nd 18.3 bush els un acre for durum. Durum whoat at Lincoln and other points in the eastorn parts of tho state, however, rusts very badly, is very scabby, fro anentlv lodcos, and produces grain of poor quality. At tho North Platte substation tho averago yield of durum for flvo yoors (19041909) was 21 bnshols and for tho common anting whot, 13 5 bushels. In 1909 and 1910, on tho other band, durum yield ed but 10.2 bushels and common spring whoat 10.5 at the samo station, Tho Norih Flatto substatior from from its experiments has found (1) that diuum wheat matures earlier than common spring wheat, (2) that it not only gives higher jiolds but is also much tnoro rust resistant . than common varieties, (3) that Kubanka, Black Don, and Volvet Don are good varieties for western NobraBkn, and (4) that tho boot yields of durum aro so- cured in years of normal rainfall. were married on Wednesday evening KwoowiiQKiwmvQnwrM at the county court room by County S CORRESPONUENCE S WWKMWWMmWWWXmC1 items or interest from our Exchanges I 8OKQlCOI(rj)K Obert Tribune; Mrs, H.

South Omaha Drovers Journal, 23rd: Charles Voss. of Hubbard. was on the market with a load of heavy beeves of his own feeding that brought $8.10, tho high price of tho day, These cattle were of Mr. Voss' own raising and they had been on full feed about four months the ra tion consisting principally of corn and alfalfa. They were high grade Herefords and a well turned lot of beeves, "The weather conditions have been very bad with us for some time and anyone who imagines feed ing stock is a picnic has another guess coming," said Mr. Voss. "Snow drtfts were eight and ten feet high for some time, covering the fences, and now that the snow has gone the mud is so deep it makes it almost impossible to get around. Then add the feature of high priced teed and it will be seen that the cat tle feeder has had no snap this season." Sioux City Journal. 20: The South Sioux City debating team last night defeated a team composed of Allen Bartlett, Horace Wulf and Ralph Pitman by a two to one decision. The question under discussion was, "Resolved, That tho United States government should own and operate the railroads." The South Sioux City team, which upheld the nega tive side of the question, was com posed of Clarence Gasser, Byron Dorn and Miss Gladys George. Ihe debate was held in the First Metho dist Episcopal church at South Sioux City. The Sioux City debaters asserted that government ownership was desirous becouse it would elimi nate certain evils of management. Thoy declared an enormous saving would be realized annually and that government ownership had succeed in fifty countries. The Nebraska orators laid stress on the argument that onr present system is well man aged, that we have had the best suc cess of any country in the world in controling our national highways, and that the present rates are the best in the world for the service ren dered. The judges were Mayor W. A. Morgan and George Learner, of South Sioux City, and Howard G. Smith, of Sioux City. W. V. Steute ville acted as chairman. A girls' chorus gavo a song before the de bate. The South Sioux City team will go to Oakland, Neb,, next Fri day to meet the affirmative team of that place on the same question. D. M .

Sioux City Journal, 19: The Sioux Uity bsrvice company yesterday was served with notice of a $2,G0O dam age suit to be started against it in the district court by Frank Reichle because of injuries alleged to have been received in October, 1914. Reichle stated in his notice of suit, which was filed in the sheriff's of fice, that he was permanently hurt in alighting from one of the compa ny's cars in South Sioux City South Sioux City wets at the spring election will endeavor to elect a council that will permit an increase in the number of saloons operating in the village, it was indicated yes terday by men in close touch with Eolities in the village. On the other and, the dry element, fearing a re turn oi the Govmgton days in the event Sioux City goes dry with the rest or Iowa January 1, 1910, will line up behind candidates pledged to liru'tthe saloons to their present number. At present there are two retail saloons and four wholesale liquor houses in South Sioux City. Under the state law it is optional with the city council as to the num ber of saloons that shall, operate. Tho council may increase or decrease the licenses as it sees fit. The fact that Iowa will be dry next year has given the political situation in South Sioux City a sudden twist. Citizens. fearing the influx of undesirables and the opening of another Coving ton, aro working for an administra tion that will keep a comparatively closed town. Mayor William JYLor gan, who has served as chief execu- Wayno Democrat: Misses Britton and Peterson, who teach at Sioux City, and Miss Grothe, who teaches at Dakota City, came home Friday evening to spend Sunday with home folks, and on account of the storm unable to return to school Monday.

Kingsbury was in Dakota City Tuesday attend ing court.. . .The residence of Jas. Mclntyre, about four miles from Ponca on tho Sioux City road, was destroyed by fire with its contents last Sunday morning about 1 1 o'clock. The building was insured for ?1,G00. ....Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Fales went to Dakota City last Saturduy to visit over Sunday at tho W. L.Ross homo. On account of tho irregular train caused by the ice on the track on Monday they did not return until Tuesday..... Richard A. Lenox, of Allen, and Rachel I. Selby, of Ponca, tive of the village since its incorpo ration two years ago, declared yes terday he would not again become a candidate. Mr. Morgan is a demo crat. Whether the democrats will place a candidate in the field he did not know. He rather thought the election would tako the shape of an open and closed town campaign, with the advocates of each'lining up behind favorable candidates, regard less of political complexion. Among the republicans who are being boom ed as candidates for mayor are H, A. Phillips, a councilman; Joseph Kloster, John Turnbull and H. U Dorn. F. S. Martin, socialist mem ber of the council, probably will run on the socialist ticket. Terms of three councilmcn expire tills year Three other councilnien nro holdover incumbents. The election will be held the first Tuesday in April. In tho event that an optm town follows the election, tho conservative ele ment of the village probably will in voko tho local option law to vote out the saloons altogether. Nebraska has a local option law giving munici palities a right to vote independent ly on the liquor question. Nebraska Silos Double in One Year. Omaha, Fob. 18.
