OUR BEST FRIENDS
Request for Reader to Lick a
Stamp for the Birdi
The Kunn mid Homo, one of the
two papers Included In The Herald's
ptl Datum offrr. had the following
sensible editorial In Its Issue of De
cember 1, printed under the caption,
"Our I test Friends":
Hlrds, which live so largely on
noxious Insects, protect our crops
from great loss and destruction.
We are not Rivlni; the birds the
protection which the best Inter
ests of mankind demands They
are being wantonly killed and
some species are now extinct.
The food value of certain spec
lee Is Important, but really noth
ing in comparison with their live
value to catch insects.
Three hills are before congress
to protect migratory birds and it
Is important that one of them be
speedily enacted. The birds that
go south for the winter should
be allowed to return unmolested
to their northern resting places.
The only way such protection
can be assured is through a strin
gent federal law. For this reas
on every one interested in bird
life should urge congressmen and
senators to pass at this session a
federal migratory bird law. Now
Is the time to lick u stamp for
the birds.

case as though made just for me."

GROWING GOOD CORN
The results of the NebTMkl boys'
corn growing contests inaugurated
last spring by the I'nivcrsity De
partment of Agricultural Extension
are beginning to materialize in the
form Of splendid corn specimens ar
riving at the Stock Yards offices
daily.
The I'nion Stock Yards Company
with a view to stimulating interest
among Mm boys of Nebraska in
growing gootl corn last spring, as
follow-up to the seed corn campaign,
placed $700.00 at the hsposa of
Pr if Pugley'l department to be
awarded in county and state irrizes
to the boys of Nebraska Showing,
Mm lii sliest yields of corn from acre
plots. In order that the boys of MM
hlVOred districts of Nebraska might
not lie at a disadvantage in competi
tion with their brothers in the east
t rn pari of the state a division was
made in the state prizes, so that
125.0V is to be awarded in the
western division and the same
amount In the eastern division. The
awards will be made at the state
fu r in at Lincoln in January during
institute week there.
Meanwhile, that the farmers and
shippers, and others interested, may
know what lias been accomplished by
these boys, the Stock Yards Com
pany has arranged for samples of
the corn raised by contestants to be
sent to the company at South Oma
ha, where they will bp properly lab
eled with name and address of grow
er ami the acre yield and placed in
large glass case in the lobby of the
Bxchange Building. These samples
will be kent on exhibition all winter
and spring. Many samples have
been received and they are still com
Ins in. Most of the samples thus
far received are excellent exhibits
of corn and many of Ihe ears come
near perfection, while the yields
range from fifty to more than one
hundred bushels to the acre, Elton
Stone of Lyons has the record to
date for the highest yield, a iittle ov
er 101! bushels. Ceo. J. Iloggenbach
of isner comes next with Kit bush
els: Harry Kgger, Hooper, reports
sv Walter Pfelffer, Hooper, bu.;
Alfred Miller, Surprise, 7:! bushels;
Qeorge Hartman, Paxtoo. Sfl bushels
Brneel Hudnalt, chapman. S2 bush
els. William Hog. is of I. imp City re
ports that with less than fixe inches
of rain his corn made a yield of 5 15
bushels. The Stock Tarda Company
la much nloaaed with the Interest
manifested by the boys throughout
the atate and with the sue. ess vvhuli
lias rewarded the efforts of most of
them. While none of the yields are
natoundlng, they show an average
nearly three times greater than the
entire com yield for the state for
1913 and will be marks for tlu fath
ers lo shoot at next year.
