Extracts from the printed program
are as follows:
Program Talent
Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the De
partment of Education in the Uni
versity of Chicago Is an educator of
national repute. He came to our as
sociation from the Central Nebraska
Association. Dr. Butler Is a pro
gressive educator and is fully alive
to the educational problems and
needs of today. His Friday evening
address on the subject "The Social
and Individual Value of Education"
will be well worth hearing, and his
round table discussion on Nebraska's
educational status will be an "eye-
opener to those who have not stud
led the problem exhaustively.
The Committee has also secured
the services of Dr. O. E. Condra of
the University of Nebraska. Dr. Con
dra s work Is well-known to Nebras
kans since he travels extensively ov
er the state and he is probably more
conversant with the educational
needs of our state than most of our
school men for that reason. Dr. Con
I dra will deliver the opening address
of the session on Thursday afternoon
and will deliver an illustrated lecture
I Friday forenoon, using motion pic
tures illustrating various Nebraska
scenes and activities.
We consider ourselves fortunate
in securing Dean Charles Fordyce,
head of the Teachers' College in the
University of Vebrnska. who will be
with us on Friday. Dean Fordyce
has for the past few years made a
special study of educational meas
urements. His Friday afternoon ad
dress will deal with this branch of
educational activity.
Last year it was decided at the an
nual business meeting to have a spe
cial section meeting for rural school
teachers. In accordance with this
request we have asked Miss Lulu S.
Wolford of the State Department to
address the rural school section. Miss
Wolford is state Inspector of rural
schools and will give an address of
vital interest to rural school teach
ers. For the closing session on Satur
day forenoon an address on a sub
ject of timely Interest has been ar
ranged for, namely an address on
the European war, by Professor E.
P. Wilson of the Chadron Normal.
Professor Wilson is head of the His
tory department and has made a
special study of the European situa
tion. Teachers may enroll at the Phelan
opera house. The enrollment fee is
$1.00. Enrollment will begin Thurs
day at 10 a. m.
Banquet
The annual banquet of the asso
ciation will be igven Friday evening

Bulletin on Smut Treatment
The methods of treatment for the
smuts of various Nebraska cereals
may be obtained in detail from Bul
letin 131 which may be had of the
bulletin clerk, University Farm. Lin
coln. Aside from the methods of
treatment, the bulletin glyes a gen
eral account of the life history of the
smuts, the time and place of Infec
tion, the characteristics of the kernel
and loose smuts, and the effect of
seed treatment upon the growth of
the seedlings.
Promising New Hay Crop
Sudan grass Is a very promising
forage plant, especially for central
and western Nebraska. In the east
ern part of the state, however, Sudan
grass will perhaps never become
more than a supplementary crop. '
For hay It should be sown In rows'
Bt the rate of 20 to 30 pounds an1
acre. The yield Is about the same!
as sorghum.
For seed purposes Sudan grass is
sown In rows at the rate of two or
three pounds an acre and is cultivat
ed the same as corn. The acre yield
of seed is from 200 to 800 pounds.
In feeding value Sudan grass
promises to compare favorably with
timothy and sorghum. In addition.
It produces a more leafy and finer
stemmed hay than sorghum.
This new crop Is believed to be as
relatively drouth resistant aa cane.
Department of experimental agrono
my, University Farm.
Manure the Beat Fertiliser
Data from the Nebraska Experi
ment Station which were obtained In
cooperation with Nebraska farmers
in several counties show that the av
erage annual yields of corn from
manured fields during a period of
three years were 10 bushels greater
than from adjoining fields which
were not manured. The average an
nual yields from the unmanured
fields were 26.81 bushels an acre and
the yields from the manured fields
were 36.76 bushels an acre. Accord
ing to data from other experiment
stations the lasting effect of farm
manures is at least 20 years; that is
to say, a farm may continue to ob
tain increased annual yields for sev
eral years after a good application
of farm manure or the turning under
of organic matter in some other
form.
The Increases In crop yields for a
period of years at several of the best
experiment stations were sufficient to
give to the manure applied an agri
cultural value of from $1 to $7 a
ton, depending upon the climatic
conditions, rate of applications, kind
of manure, crops manured, etc.

WILL RESTORE
LAND TO ENTRY
Secretary of Interior Has Recom
mended That President Wilson
.Make Homestead Restoration
Washington, March 17 Secretary
Lane has recently recommended to
the president the restoration from
withdrawal of the following lands:
243,345 acres in northeastern Ut
ah, part of which lies along Green
river east of Vernal, and the remain
der along the Union Pacific railway
north or Coalville. This land has
been examined by the Geological
Survey and classified as noncoal, and,
therefore. Is being restored from coal
withdrawal.
3,843 acres lying along the mar
gin of a large coal field in north
western Colorado. 80 acres of this
land have been classified as coal
land, and the remainder, 3,763 acres,
as noncoal land, and its restoration
recommended.
647,768 acres in eastern Montana.
This land has been examined by the
Geological Survey and classified, 320
acres as coal land and the remainder,
647,448 acres, as noncoal. The res
toration of the land will open the
coal deposits to purchase and all the
land to nonmineral entry with reser
vation, in case of the coal land, of
the coal deposits to the government.
18.000 acres in west-central Wy
oming lying on both the north and
south slopes of the Owl Creek moun
tains. It has been known for a num
ber of years that deposits of phos
phate exist In this part of the state,
but as a result of examination by the
Geological Survey it was determined
that the lands included in this order
of restoration do not contain phos
phate deposits, or if there are any
deposits, they are too thin, too lean,
or lie at too great a depth to be of
commercial Importance.
