BUY SEED COKN NEAR HOME Do not get excited when you see a catalog from a distant seed houso advertising seed corn that has pro duced marvelous yields. Perhaps the seed offered for sale would not produce the same results when plant ed under Nebraska conditions. The University College of Agriculture has found that in most cases native corn gives a fourth larger yield than the prize-winning variety from another state. The Nebraska Agri cultural College has also found that it is even safer for western growers to use their native seed than to try that fi'om another section of the state. Corn grown near home pro duced '1.5 bushels more than that imported from another part of Ne braska. In any case, however, it should always be tested. The re sults of native grown seed com pared with imported seed may be obtained from bulletin No. 12G of the Bulletin Departmet, University Farm, Lincoln. APl'LE AND CRANBEUItY JELLY An excellent combination for home made iellv. according to the home economics experts of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture, is cranberries with apple. Equal quan tities of cranberries and of apples cut into small pieces should be just covered with water and boiled until the fruit is soft. Strain the juice thru cheesecloth. Add to the pulp the same amount of water as at first, boil the miln a second time, strain as before, and combine the two lots of juice. Add three-fourths much sugar by measure as juice, and boil again. The jelly is done when a few drops taken up with a mixing spoon will flake on the spoon as it cools instead of drop ping from it. Pour the jelly into glasses which have just been steriliz from the Extension Service, College of Agriculture, Lincoln Enroll ment for the coming ) ear is now open. NATIONAL UETTEK BABY WEEK The national better baby week, beginning March 4, gives' evidence of being observed by a large num ber of women's organizations the state over. In response to the sug gestion that Nebraska do its part at this time in bringing about better understanding of infant care, a large number of requests have been made for material to assist in con conducting tho programs. As long as the supply lasts, much literature may be had from the women's club section, Extension Senvice.

CORN VARIETIES IN WESTERNNEBRAS KA Preliminary results from variety tests of corn conducted at the North Platte and Mitchell as well as other experimental stations Beem to indi cate that U. S. Selection 183, a yel low dent corn; Marten's white dent; and White Australian are varieties which are well adapted to this part of the Great Plains area and good va- rities tor western Nebraska condi tions. Tho "White Australian va-' riety, which is a flint corn, is point ed out as being deserving of further trials, especially where corn for hog ging off is desired. Of the varieties tested, the medium early seems su perior to the very early or late ones. KITTIE A GOOD PRODUCER During her first lactation period, which recently closed, Kittie Gerben Lincoln, the seventh calf of Katy Gerben, the noted Holstein cow of the College of Agriculture produced 4,114 pounds more milk (containing 24G pounds of butter fat) than her mother during her first milking pe riod.

Lutheran Church Notes DAKOTA CITY-SALEM It certainly is encouraging to see tho readiness with which the Salem boys and girls pick up the Easter cantata music. Enthusiasm counts there, you can see it. Tho young folks are enthusiastic. We have good times, and we work, too. The two must go together. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The same is true of Jack's father John. If we take hold with a will and a spirit any thing that is right can be made to go. That is especially true in the church. The pastor must have the backing of the congregation or he cannot do annthing. He is only a leader, not the whole thing, he has responsibilities, and so have all the rest of the people. "Ye are members one of another." So we all have a part. Many people think they ar.e thru when they have paid. That is tho last thing God looks at. He wants love and service. Don't grunt, do your stunt. You have as much time as anybody, all there to. It depends on how you use it, where your greatest interest is. That's all. The boys and girls sang a Te Deum last Sunday morning. They did fine. About 35 of them on the platform made a fine showing. How they en joyed it; and the congregation -well, Mr. Boals got up, came forward, and in the name of the congregation thanked the chorus for the music and offered the hope that they "come back" and then called for a rising vote of thanks and would you believe it, every mother's son and duughter got up in appreciation, even some of the boys got up. That made everybody glad and feel good. The children appreciate encourage ment. It costs nothing to give it to them. It is largely a matter of I thoughtlessness. Thank them pri vately, express the hope they will favor the congregation soon ngain. Boost. We will all feel better. Our catechism class is still making additions. There are nearly twenty now and they are wide awake, too. It is a great privilege to teach a bunch of young enthusiasts. Some were from as far as the bluffs. If you come you will get instructed. You won't get interested in our work hugging the kitchen fire. Re ligion is like anything else; you get interested because you are "in" as well as being in because you are interested. It has been a long time since we had as much real pleasure and en joyment as we had at Mr. Albert Heikes' last Friday night. There was more than a hundred people on the carpets of the house and, a good time, come back. What didn't they do to pass the time and have so much pleasure? Pretty hard to tell. Joke, chat, visit, sing, youngsters played up stairs. There ought to have been a gallery all about the house for people to sit in and watch who can find nothing to do at such a gathering if they don't have cards. Watching the movies would not be in it beside watching that crowd en joy themselves. It was a little late, but O you fried chicken lunch. No body stood back then but "charged" like yonng soldier boys with wooden swords. The Lutherfest was very enjoya ble. Not so many as we had hoped, but what was there had a good time. Perhaps the social times we have at the church ought to be held at even ing. We will have to try that some time. Rev. Frank has been acquaint ed in this neighborhood for thirty years, and as he spoke of the Luther an church and Home Missions he could tell of some of his own expe riences in this community in the Mis sion work. It was full of human in terest because of that. Sorry it was so cold that some of the folks could not get out. Uolu weather win break some day and then we will have to have another gathering. Do not wait till some body moves away to have a good time but have it anyhow. It is just a matter of getting out and making something go on. Do not forget Sunday school and church. Rev. C. R. Lowe.
