THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE SPECIALLY WRITTEN L INFORMATION ABOUT Tt'IlAL SUBJECTS FROM RELIABLE SOURCES Thoro (s at present a groat surplus of low grade potatoes in Nebraska. In tho faco of profitless market condi tions a question arises as to tho com parative value of thoso tubers and corn as a feed for hogs, donorally spooking 400 pounds of potatoes are oqual to 100 pounds of corn as hog feed, say animal husbandry specialists of tho agricultural college. It Is neces sary to cook potatoes beforo they aro fed, as raw potatoes when fed to hogs in largo amounts tend to causo quite serious digostlvo disturbances. They make tho most satisfactory food for hogs when they aro cooked and mixed with grain. Reports received from tho United States Department of Agriculture In dicate that 2,216,000 farmers, or nn averago of about 1,100 per county, adopted methods Introduced by tho county extension agont In handling tholr Uvo stock or cropa !n 1921. Soloctod seed corn was planted on 1,600,000 additional acres In 1921 through tho Influence of demonstra tions by county extension workers, and 160,000 farmers selected seod corn for tho next year's uso. By following methods of management demonstrated by tho extension agent, tho number of cows producing 300 pounds of butter a year was Increased from 9 in tho first year to 41 in tha second In the ix dairy herds In tho Clark County (Ind.) Cow-Testing Association. Rural Women In Nebraska aro doing xcollont clothing work In cooperation with tho state and county extension workers. Tho Dress Construction and Millinery work han been especially popular with thom. It Is necessary that an organized group finish at least ton dross forms and at least ten sowing machine short cuts, be fore they are eligible to send two representatives or leaders to tho Dress Construction or Millinery train ing classes. Two leaders from each of tho five communities comprise a class. At thoso classes tho women are givon Instructive and teaching helps which they uso In repeating tho work to their own groups. Tho success of local leadership has been duo not only to tho ability and devotion of tho local leaders but In a measure to tho simple practical basis upon which extension workers havo outlined tho work. Nebraska is planning to show the other corn states that she can produco corn with any of thom. The proof of this will bo ten ears exhibits that Ne braska farmers are selecting for tho International Hay and Grain Show to bo . held at Chicago December 2 to 9. Nobraska has not had an exhibit at this show since It was started two yoars ago but expects to offer some sharp,, competition this year. Besides com there- will be exhibits of wheat, oats, barloy, ryo, soybeans, cowpeas, alfalfa and sweet clover seed, and different kinds of hay. Liberal pre miums aro offered In all classes. Tho Nobraska Crop Growers' Association is backing this exhibit and In addition totho individual competitive exhibits they will stage an educational exhibit In cooperation with tho Nobraska Agricultural College. Premium Hats and other Information relative to tho show can be secured by addressing tho Nebraska Crop Growers' Associa tion, Agricultural Collego, Lincoln. Although corn Is probably suf ficiently matured In most parts of tho stato to bo out of tho danger of the frost, still seed corn selection In the field Is well worth while for other reasons, Just as in tho old saying that "no two leaves aro exactly allko" so it is with ears of corn and corn plants. If seod corn is selected In tho crib thoro Is no way of knowing what sort of a stalk the oar was produced on. In flold selection ono can pick an ear for Its holght and angle on tho stalk as woll as selecting a strong sturdy stalk which is not too largo and leafy for tho section in which it Is to be grown,. Plenty of good adapted seed, safely Btored whero it will properly dry and bo protected from rodents, Is good start for next year's corn crop. Soloctlng twice as much as will be noodod for tho next year's planting, RURA READERS Vote for L. L. BERTHE Domocratic and Progresslvo Candidate for SHERIFF. Believes In enforcement of all laws. Two terms is long . enough for any man to hold an offlco. and saying tho romolndor ovor until seed corn Is safo for tho following yoar, Is recommended by tho Universi ty of Nebraska Agricultural College. Relatively long smooth ears havo been shown by experiments In Nebraska to outylold tho largor rough deep korn-AGRICUJj-1 bled typo that has been popular as seed corn In many parts of the state, It best results aro expected by storing only potatoes of good quality should bo stored. Potatoes will not Improve In quality In storage but aro more liablo to go down in quality. Many storage troubles aro tho result of poor field conditions. Potatoes should bo lort In tho flold a fow hours after digging to pormit thom to dry. Immature potatoes will havo to bo handled and watched care fully. Potatoes may bo stored In open bins In a cool cellar or burled in tho ground. If burled In a cellar thoy should not bo piled more than a foot doop. "When stored in layers deepor than this or in sacks, there is more danger or loss from decay. Potatoes may bo buried in tho ground over wintor. A shallow hole about G to 12 Inches deop should be dug and lined with about 2 Inches of straw. Tho potatoes should bo placed In tho hole and covered with straw and 4 or 5 Inches of soil. Ventilation should be provided Jn the same man ner as for storing other root crops. As tho weather gets colder, place an other layer of straw on the mound and add sufficient soil to prevent tho tubers from freezing. Tho United States. Department of Agrlculturo this-year extended Us co operative bog-cholera control work to South Dakota, Washington, Now Mexico, and West Virginia, making n total of 34 states in which work is be ing dono in co-oporatlon with State authorities. Co-operation among the different agencies is now at Its best, land Is therefore moro effective than over. Tho object of tho work with tho various states Is to prevent and con trol outbreaks of tho Infection and to reduce losses. During tho year hog cholera has been kept well under control, but special care must bo tnken in October, No vember and December, when usually there is an increase in its prevalence. Farmers will save moro hogs and prevent disastrous losses if thoy do not delay reporting immediately to tho State veterinarian, trie county ag ricultural agent, tho representative of tho Bureau of Animal industry or local veterinary practitioner, any suspeclous cases of sickness among tho hogs. Antlhog-cholora serum is not a euro but a preventive treatment, and should bo applied as soon as pos sible when tho disease appears in the herd or In tho neighborhood. Tho prevention treatment is a good In surance against losses from hog cholera. Milk is often spoken of as the most perfect and complete of all foods. This 1s because it contains all tho material needed by the body In better proportions than any other food. Tho materials found In milk aro protein carbohydrates, fat miner-' als, vltamlnes nnd water. . Milk con- tains an abundance of protein which is used in building muscles, henco a very essential food for growing child ren. Tho carbohydrates, found In the form of sugar, and tho fat supplies both heat and energy to tho body. Tho vitamines found in milk aro tho vital growth requirements. Theso are found in such small amounts in other foods that milk is needed daily to sup ply tho amount of vitamines neces sary for growth. Mineral matter is used especially 1n the bones and tcoth. Theso aro being constantly worn away so now mineral mattor Is needed to When in North Platte COME AND SEE US Hotel Palace Palace Cafe PalaceBazaar Everything first class and prices reasonable.

Water is just as Important to keep the body machinery In good running order as any of tho materials that flavo been mentioned. Children getting plenty of fresh milk aro much stronger and brighter tnan thoso got ting tea nnd coffco Instead. Every child should bo gottlng not less than a pint of milk daily, suggests tho University of Nebraska Agricultural Collego. If for somo reasons persons do not liko to drink milk, it can bo used for puddings, soups, cereals and in various othor ways. "Aro you proud of tho cows in your county?" is tho question asked by tho United States Department of Agrlcul turo on a map on which is shown tho avorogo yearly production of dairy cows in practicably every county in tho country. This large map will go shown In tho department's exhibit at tho National Dairy Exhibition, at St Paul, October 7 to 11. Dairymen may thus seo at a glance just how the cows at homo compare with those in any othor part of tho United States. Tho map shows that 7 counties havo cowa that average more tnan 0,020 pounds of milk a year. Thrco of these counties are In Washington, while Oregon, California, Nevada and Texas havo ono each. Tho exhibit al so shows an analysis of the census figures mado by tho Department of Ag riculture, in which It Is brought out that the states which lead In averago production per cow are thoso In which tho highest percentage or aairy bulls are purobrcd. Tho States aro marked Into four groups according to tho production of tho cows. Thoso in the first group havo nn averago pro duction of 4,427 pounds of milk a year and 42.5 per cent of the dairy bulls aro purebred. In the fourth group th average production Is only 1.C0G pounds of milk and only 1 4 per cent of tho dairy bulls aro purobrcd. In tho first group there !ls ono purebred dairy bull to every 10 dairy farms, while In tho othor groups thero is only ono to overy 82 dairy farms. Tho 48 states are arrangea in tho order of the percentage of dairy bulls purebred. Arizona, wnere tno dairy business has been of recent develop ment, Is at the top of the list, with 91 per cent. Although poison Ivy 1b ono of tho worst offenders. It frequently is blamed for poisoning caused by other plants, says Dr. W. W. Stockborger, of tho United States Dopartmjnt of Agrlculturo. Tho ''department has a list of more than 100 of such plants that grow In this country, and it is possible that there are others that may bo poisonous to somo persons. Not all of theso plants aro equally What I T is a law passed work and earn a living instead of "going on a strike," during labor controversies. But the law was referred to a vote of the people by petition of a small per cent of the voters, and thereby suspended, and it is now up to you'and all the voters to say on election day, November 7, that this law shall stand. TAKES AWAY NO RIGHTS It DOES NOT take away any lawful right of any person, group or class. It DOES NOT take away or limit the right of workers to strike whenever they choose. It DOES NOT prevent strikers from freely advocating their cause in a lawful manner. It DOES NOT prevent striking employees from talking to working employees for the purpose of persuading them to leave their employment, provided they do not compel and force workers to listen against their will. WHAT THE LAW DOES DO It says that the right to work is just as sacred as the right to strike no more and no less. . It says that men who strike must respect the rights of those who want to work and must not "run them off the job" by any of the following methods: ' By using degrading, offensive or abusive lantfuaita towards worker or their families) by PERSISTING In talking to, following or Intercepting workers, or their families, AGAINST THEIR WILL; or to menace, threaten, ntlm!dato or frighten such persona; or to commit an assault upon such persons) or to loiter about, picket and patrol the place of work, buslnoas or residence of workers, their families, or their employers, for the purpose of Intimidation and unlawful coercion. This law says that strikes in Nebraska must be conducted in the American way on their merits without force, terrorism, intimidation, violence and without infringement of the rights of citizenship. By votinn "yes" play and the right of law abiding persons to work at honest labor without being subjected to abuse, intimidation or injury. ' NEBRASKA MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION.

Tho pollen of tho caster lily has been known to causo irritation of tho skin, but this is pro bably as rare as poisoning by loaves of tho goranlum or tho carrot. Somo of theso plants aro poisonous whon taken internally, but tho list has boon mado out on tho basis of bolng Irritat ing to tho skin. Because somo of those common plants aro used for ornamonts In tho homo Is no roaBon to fear thom, as most persons aro not affected by thom and in tho groat majority of cases tho irritation of tho skin is mild.
