Nebraska lloj.s "Win as Judges
The Nebraska stock judging team
carried off top honors at the Inter
state Fair at Sioux City. Tho team
was composed of Walter Briggs, Nor
val Clark and Peter Pratt, three
Seward county pig club boys who
excelled in judging at tho State Fair.
The three boys exhibited pigs at the
State Fair and carried off a number
of ribbons, Walter Briggs taking a
total of twenty-one. The Nebraska
girls canning team won first place
at tho Sioux City Fair last year.
Potato Dry Rot Can He Controlled
Potato dry rot may not bo entirely
eliminated in western Nebraska but
it can be controlled to a considerable
extent. Careful investigations indi
cate that tho dry rot organism grows
only at low temperatures and that it
must come in contact with the raw
flesh of tho potato before it can do
any damage. Hence it is very im
portant to handle potatoes carefully
so as not to bruise or cut the potato.
A potato with an unbroken skin will
be practically certain to remain sol
id if it is handled reasonably. Crates
or sacks used as containers for hand
ling the potatoes from the field to
tho cellur or car arc more desirable
than thq. open wagon box of scoop.
The potato cellars should bo disin
fected with a strong formalin solu
tion after they have been cleaned
thoroughly. The storage tempera
ture should bo maintained as near to
32 degrees as possible. Potatoes, it
must be remembered, are almost as
tender as apples and should bo han
dled accordingly. Further details
on storago methods of handling po
tatoes are contained in Horticulture
Circulars 1 and 3, Nebraska Agricul
tural College, Lincoln.

Bo s and Girls Exhibits Attract
Demonstrations and exhibits by
boys and girls clubs attracted an un
usual amount of attention at the
State Fair this year. Hundreds of
persons watched tho work of canning,
baking and other demonstration
teams each day ,of tho fair. Tho
pig club show of more than 100 pigs
drew a largo number of visitors.
Many pf the pigs wero very superior
tock and a source of great pride to
tneir owners and great credit to tho
boys and girls club work of tho stato.
One boy exhibited a litter which ho
sold for $5,000. An Omaha canning
team won tho free trip to tho Inter
state Fair at Sioux City.
Jluch Interest In Septic Tanks
Amodel of a farm septic tank for
sewage disposal exhibited at tho
Stato Fair by tho Extension Service,
College of Agriculture, attracted tho
attentl6n of farmers who aro plan
ning modern homes. This system of
sewage disposal has been found tho
most successful, and at tho same
timo perhaps tho least expensivo in
installation and upkeep. Further
information and blueprint plans will
bo supplied by tho Extension Serv
ice. Land Speculation Brings Warning
Tho continued inflation of land
values by speculators has caused tho
United States Department of Agri
culture to send out a warning, Sor
ious consequences aro liable to result
from tho boom, tho dopartmont says,
especially when tho prico of farm
products tends to go back to normal.
Experts estimate that an advance f
25 per cent was justifiable for Iowa
land, but speculators have pushed the
prico far above this in many instances.
" m
Plenty of Heed Corn in State
It Is anticipated that farmers will
havo no trouble obtaining good seed
from tliia year's corn crop. Most ol
the corn matured early, especially if
it was planted at tho normal time.
At tho University Farm tho corn was
well matured September 10 and it
appears to bo well out of tho way of
frost. In those portions of tho state
where the yield will bo small on ac
count of unfavorable weather cond
tions it Is regarded as good practice
to save seed from tho local crop
rather than risk introducing soma
new variety, the adaptation of which
Is not fully known.
Dry Silage Needs Water
Where corn is somowhot dried up,
as much of it is this year, tho No
braska Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion has found that tho addition of
n liberal amount of water aids ina
torially In preserving silage. There
ifi littlo danger of getting too much
water into the silo. Tho nrinclnal
difficulty, especially where there is
no water pressure, is how to get the
water in. By running a hoso Into
the blowor a considerable amount
can bo put In. Water aids In pack
ing the silage and otherwise helps to
preiiervo it.
