NEW WOMAN COUNTY AGENT
Madison county is to have a wom
an county agent, the second in Ne
braska. A County Homemakers'
association with n membership of
more than 200 country women has
been formed to assume local direc
tion of the county agent's work.
The enterprise is a cooperative ar
rangement between the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the Agricultural Extension Service
of the University of Nebraska, and
the Homemakers' association. Funds
for the support of the work are pro
vided by the government and the
local association. Miss Louise
Meredith, of the home economics
extension service of the university,
has been appointed county agent.
She will begin work July 1.
"itOGUING OUT" OATS' AND WHEAT
Where barley is present in oats, it
may prove practical to "rogue
out" barley plants from a few acres
of the field so as to secure a barley
free plant as a soi rce of seed next
year. However, 1 1 there is too much
barley in the field, it may be desira
ble to purchase barley-free seed,
as the cost of removing the barley
plants will be too great. Rye should
also be removed from wheat in the
same way, as it has been found
that the market discriminates
against wheat that contains more
than i per cent of rye. Recently,
when samples of mixed grains were
submitted to Minneapolis millers,
wheat containing 1 per cent of rye
was discounted 1 to 5 cents a bushel.
Millers usually refuse to buy wheat
that contains more than 1 per cent
of rye.
PRODUCE A THANKSGIVING CHICKEN
There is still time to produce a
4-pound roaster for Thanksgiving,
according to poultry husbandry
specialists at the University Farm,
who are urging increased production
of poultry to meet the world's de
mand for meat. Should every farm
er of the state (there are 130,000 in
Nebraska, who produce 90 per cent
of the poultry output for Nebraska;
set one more hen with 15 eggs,
hatch 10 healthy chicks, and raise 8
of them, the aggregate production
would be more than a million chick
ens weighing four million pounds,
or nearly one 4-pound chicken for
every man, woman and child in Ne
braska. CANNING AND DRYING BULLETINS
"Home Canning by the One-Period
Cold-Pack Method" is the title of
Farmers' Bulletin No. 839, just is
sued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. This bulletin
describes in detail the best canning
methods known. Farmers' Bulletin
No. 841, "Drying Fruits and Vege
tables in the Home," is a companion
food-preservation bulletin. These
bulletins will be sent free upon ap
plication to the Extension Service,
University farm, Lincoln, or to the
United States Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE NOT REQUIRED
Foreign languages will no longer
be required of men students who
wish to enter the college of Agri
culture, it was" decided at a recent
meeting of the board of regents.
This does not reduce the standard of
entrance requirements, but it per
mits the offering of a larger variety
of subjects to fulfill the entrance re
quirements, making them such that
graduates of welll-equipped rural
high schools may enter the college
of agriculture with full entrance
credit.
WILL HELP SELECT EWES
Arrangements have been made by
the University to help farmers in
the purchase and selection of breed
ing ewes at the South Omaha stock
yards, South Omaha is quoting 90
to 100-pound westerns at around 8i
cents. These are mainly short or
broken-mouthed but are otherwise
sound ewes that under farm condi
tions would profitably produce an
other lamb and clip of wool. Small
orders will be grouped, so as to se
cure carload rates. Arrangements
will be made to locate native and
and pure-bred ewes in case there is
a sufficient demand. Further infor
mation will be sent upon application
to the Animal Husbandry Depart
ment, University Farm, Lincoln.
