KECOnD-IlUKAKING ATTKNDANCK AT
WINTER MKETINGS
This year's attendance at Organ
ized Agriculture meetings at Lincoln
January 15 to 19, was by far the
largest in the history of tho event.
The combined attendance at all sess
ions was estimated at 16,000, as com
pared with 0,000 last year.
The sessions of agricultural meet
ings which make up Organized Agri
culture attracted what was probably
tho largest gathering of farmers for
educational purposes ever held in
the United States. Herbert Quick,
member of the federal farm loan
board, who explained the workings
of the new rural credits act to 1500
farmers at St. Paul's church Friday
afternoon, declared that this audi
ence was the 'argest he ever ad
dressed on this subject. Thischurch
the second largest audience room in
the city and tho largest one avail
able at the time, was secured be
cause the largest speaking hall at
the university farm was entirely in
adequate. Tho need of a new auditorium
with suHicient seating capacity to
care for crowds of farmers who at
tend events of this character was
urged on every hand. Several meet
ings passed resolutions urging the
state legislature to make some pro
vision for a new auditorium.
Some meetings were so crowded
thabt'ven standing room in corridors
was at a premium. Some persons
who eahie late Wednesday and
Thursday went from meeting to
meeting but were unable to find
standing room at any of them.
l'KKPAUKDNESS AUA1NST OAT SMUT
Whether or not preparedness in a
military way isjadvisable, prepared
ness against oat smut is a paying
proposition. Oat smut destroys an
nually on tho average more than 5
per cent of the Nebraska oat crop, is
tho word that comes from tho agri
cultural botany department of the
university college of agriculture.
Now is the best time to become
acquainted with the formalin treat
ment and to lay plans for "spring
drive" against this common enemy
rather than wait until the rush of
planting is on. The department of
agricultural botany will be glad to
furnish complete information as to
the smut treatment problem.
FARM INVENTORY
A circular giving' an outline for
the farm inventory and directions
for its use has been prepared by the
agricultural extension service of the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
Blank forms along with directions
for their use are included..
This outline can be used for four
years and may be had uppn applica
tion to the extension service. For
the time required in its making, the
the farm inventory is the most val
uable record a farmer can make. It
should be rnnde bofore March 1.
LENGTHENING HEN'S WORKING DAY
To lengthen the day during the
the winter, electric lights aro used
in the poultry house's at the univer
sity farm, Lincoln.
It has been found a paying invest
ment to get the birds up early and
give them the benefit of a sum
mer day's light during the winter,
according to the poultry depart
ment of the state university. The
lights are thrown on automatically
at 5:00 a. m. and turned off at 7:00
p. m.
WINNINGS AT THE NATIONAL WESTERN
The University of Nebraska stock
judging team and university stock
made almost a clean sweep of prizes
at the National Western Live Stock
show which just closed at Denver.
Tho team won first place and $200
in cash prizes besides four silver
trophies. The stock took $400 in
cash, and one silver trophy offered
as a special prize.
The five men on the judging team
took individual honors in the con
test as foilows: 1st place, 2nd, 5th,
Gth and 8th, in competition with 30
contestants. Colorado Agricultural
College won 3nd place; the Curtis
School of Agriculture, Nebraska,
3rd; and the Colorado School of Ag
riculture, fourth.

The long-wauied (MO-acre Homestead Act is now a law. It
permits application for these homesteads in the grass-covered
livestock area of Central Northeast Wyoming you can reach
this area either over the Burlington's nisin line via Douglas for
Converse County or via Upton, Moorcroft, Gillette or Clearmont
for Northeast Wyoming. Inquire early ahd go early.
This area contains large bodies of excellent grazing lands
from fifteen to fifty miles from the railroad Write me jor cir
cular of information and init ructions, which will tell you exactly
what to do without loss of time to apply for a stock-raising and
dairy homestead. You can secure one of these valuable mile
square homesteads in a region established and well known as the
psrmanent livestock area of Wyoming.
