The general
Omaha thirty
years ago
located
Midland at Atchison because at that
time it was the best place to put it.
No one doubts the wisdom of their
choice. But a good many things
have developed in the course of 30
years. ,
At that time the Kansas Synod
was the larger and most promising
Synod, and Atchison held out induce
ments. At that time the Nebraska
synod was quite small and there was
no German Nebraska synod at all.
But all that is changed now. Ne
braska synod is larger than is the
Kansas synod, the German Nebraska
synod has come into existance and
reaches far down into Kansas, and
that synod is no larger now than it
was thirty years ago. Nebraska has
doubled her synod in the last ten
years. And in addition to this the
Rocky Mountain synod has gone out
from the Nebraska synod.
OOr church fathers could not see
the developement of the Lutheran
church in this territory. So far as
the relative value of the cities are
concerned the favor is much with
Fremont. Atchison is a third Rom
an Catholic and one third negro.
Fremont is white and predominating
ly Protestant. Railroad facilities are
about the same, but tending to favor
Fremont. In the matter of build
ing and equipment things are about
even.
But the real thing that matters
is -this, what is the service of Mid
land to our church and what is the
outlook for the college. We will
give you what information we have
at hand and you can draw your own
conclusions. There have been 1208
college students.
3!)9 from Atchison 148 children of
professors and others directly con
nected with the institution.
277 from Kansas.
255 from Nebraska.
129 from other states.
In the academy there have been
1520 students, divided in nearly the
same proportion. From this it ap
pears that the Lutheran church has
served Atchison almost as much as
bui veil .iixiin
it has served the church
As to the outlook -wo have this to
say: In a radius of of DO miles of
Atchison there are eight Lutheran
churches; within a hundred miles

Atchison has less churches now than Daniel Hnrtnett mn,l ViiVtViAf
it had thirty years ago.
The students of Midland will tell
you tins, too. Atchison doesn t care
for the college save that they want
to keep the institution.

of course, will go to Atchison high
school students, but that will not
serve the church at large, and when
the matter is settled again, Atchison
will settle down to their old way of
treating tho college, which isnt
much. We've been there eiirht
years and know what that means.
Atchison as 11 town is no school, town,
Fremont is.
Midland nt Fremont will serve us
more than Midland at Atchison. We
are unqualifiedly in favor of Fre

Too Much IVcil CmiM's Scours
When a sow is fed too much or im
properly the pigs often suffer from
the scours. Corrective rather than
remedial measures should lie taken.
That is, the feed of the sow should
lie reduced or improper feed elimin
ated. The Nebraska College of Ag
riculture finds that quite often the
sow needs a dose of epsom salts or
castor oil. Either can be success,
fully given in the blop. The Col
lego also keeps some blood meal on
hand to give mothers of scouring
pigs. It is very effective. Several
days feeding of linseed oil meal or
alfalfa meal is also very good.

m:v legislation
(From Farm Bureau News.)
Farmers as well as others should
rejoice over tho passage of the Good
Roads bill, which covers a two year
period. It is true that this will
call fdr a largo increase in taxes.
But all seem well satisfied with that,
if the money is properly administer
ed. The good roads project receives
a sum of $3,380,000 this coming year.
This will come from a 3 mill levy and
an increase in auto license.
The passage of the bill declaring
the Omaha Grain Exchange a public
market was assured last week. This
Is a long stride towards cutting out
middle men for tho 'farmers who sell
through co-operativo olevators.
The signing of the state hail insur
ance bill by the Governor will be of
interest to many. This increases the
maximum loss by hail, for which a
man can insure under the state, from
$10 to $15 per acre. Under this bill,
tho premium need not be paid until
tho subscriber pays his personal
taxes.

COST 01' IMtODl'CTION ItllCOItDS
WHYS
(From Farm Bureau News.)
University Farm, Lincoln, Neb.
April 8, 191'J. !
To County Agents:
1.
Cost of Production Records help
ner to have a better under-
a larmer to have a hetter under-
standing ot his corn crop, 111s hogs,
or other part of his business. His
Farm Record Book gives him general
information about the whole farm
business, how well it is paying, and
whether the largest "leaks" are
caused by low feeding efficiency,
poor use of labor, or something else.
To trace the trouble much farther,
however, requires more detailed rec
ords on certain crops or stock.
2. Farmers need to know hov
much it costs them to raise a bushel
of corn, a hundred pounds of pork, or
some other product. Lack of such
information was felt keenly during
the war. It is likely to be just as
necessary during readjustment times
that farmers know these same things.
For example, an Industrial Board has
been appointed by the Government
to stabilize prices. They have cut
steel prices, taken up other indus
tries, and it is hinted that they may
extend their activities to agricul
tural products. Mr. Peck, chairman
of the Board, said recently in speak
ing of certain farm products, "What
is a reasonable cost, must be deter
mined by conditions. There is ev
ery reason to expect lower food
prices in the relatively near future."
While prices for farm products may
be lowered, farmers should help to
see that they are kept high enough
to give a fair profit above cost of
production. To do this they must
know their costs.
3. How many hours of work should
lie necessary to raise 40 acres of corn
in your county? How much feed do
your good farmers use to put one
hundred pounds gain on a bunch of
hogs? And what are their produc
tion costs? Are your tractor own
ers doing their work cheaper than
they would with horses? Cost of
Production Records on a few farms
in your county will give you some
good information along these lines
for eevry day use. And it will be
information based on local conditions.
HOW?
The Cost of Production Records,
which wefe used last year have just
been revised and printed on heavier
paper. This will make them stand
more wear and tear. They are avail
able for corn, hogs, wheat, cattle,
tractors, oats, potatoes, and .sugar
beets. The blanks contain a labor
record, feed record for stock, and
summary page. Inventories and cash
receipts and expenses are to be kept
in a Farm Record Book.
WHEN?
Spring is tho best time to get
some ot this work started. rrom
now on, the earlier it is started tho
hetter. Mr. Boomer, Mr. Taylor and
myself nre planning to put in full
time for tho next few weeks helping
some of you men with this work in
your county. We have no datos made
as yet after April 15. Please let us
know as soon as possible when you
want us in your county, and which
cost records you need the most.
Very truly yours,
P. K. WHELPSTON,
Farm Management Demonstrator.

1 intmu (ii ine meiuuers 01 ine ratio ,
Bureau that we take pleasure In !
having them emphasized here. There
con be no question but that we are
sadly in need of definite information
on costs of production. This can
best come from actual farm condi
tions and can only be furnished by
the farmer himself. We know that
the furnishing of this data sometimes
causes somo inconvenience, but it is
worth It many times over. If you
nre interested in keeping records
' along any of these lines lot us know.

those present received a great deal
of valuable information.
Eggs that are being held for incu
bnfion should be turned once a day
so as to change the position of the
germinal disc, kept in a cool place,
and should not be held longer than
10 days. When artificial incubation
is to be used the incubator thermom
eter should be tested with a physi
cian's clinical thermometer to be sure
it is accurate. Then run the incu
bator for two or three days so as to
test it out. After thc eggs are
placed in the incubator the tempera
ture will drop, but the thermostato
should not be changed, as inside of
twenty-four hours the eggs will lie
come heated to the point the tem
perature was regulated before the
eggs were put in. The eggs should
be watched closely to determine the
amount of moisture. If there is in
sufficient moisture, it should be add
ed by placing a damp cloth inside
the incubator under the egg tray,
when the chick3 are hatching out.
It is a good plan to place 11 cloth
under the egg tray rather than paper,
as a smooth surface will cause the
chicks to slide about, which will
make them lame. The window in
the incubator should also lie darken
ed so that no light can enter. If
left light, tho chicks crowd toward
the light and are apt to tramp some
nnd become overheated.
Young chicks should not lie fed
until they are at least 48 hours old.
More chicks die as the result of over
feeding the first week or two than
from any other one cause. It is ad
visable to feed five times a day al
ternating a mash or soft food with a
hard grain or scratch feed. If plenty
of milk is available give clabber
milk or buttermilk instead of water.
Ventilation and grit are also essen
tial for good health of baby chicks.

Are you fighting the fly? If not,
why? That flies spread diseases and
are otherwise a source of harm as
well as a nuisance is assumed to lie
generally accepted Furthermore, it
is assumed that people pestered by
(lies nre willing to go to some troub
le to get ritl of them. It will, there
fore lie necessary to solve the manure
and garbage situation. Few (lies
will get into tho best screened house,
but the only additional measuro re
quired is fly-swatting, traps and fly
'papers.
SWAT THE FLY.
Oh, every fly that skips our swatters.
Will have five million sons and
daughters,
And countless first and second cousins;
Of aunta and uncles, scores and doz
ens, And fifty-seven billion nieces,
So knock the blamed-thing all to
- pieces. .V. M.
(lood Prospects for Poultry
Poultrymen should feel encouraged,
say University of Nebraska poultry
extension workers. Both eggs and
poultry are higher than they were
this time last year. Moro than
500,000 cases of eggs have been ex
ported since January 1, against little
more than 100,000 for all of last year.
There is indication that eggs will
continue high throughout the year.
