At a recent meeting in Omaha-of the State Executive Committee of the Federal Food Administration, a joint committee of the State Council of De fense and the Federal Food Admin istration was appointed by Gurdon W. • Wattles, Food Administrator for Ne I braska,,to take up the question of sug geating an equitable price to be paid C for husking the corn crop which will || soon be ready to be gath^d iq ,1^ f braska. The following committee was :'named: . | George Coupland, Vice-Chairman of ' Nebraska State Council of Defense. T. P. Reynolds, President of the State Federation of Labor and mem ber of the Nebraska State Council of Defense, „i>Jt 0. G. Smith, President of the Far jmers’.Congress. C. H. Gustafson, President of the Famers' Union. , C. W. Pugsley, Director of the Ag _ __ t,. ricultural Extension Service of the University of Nebraska. All the men named are members of the Executive Committee1 of the Fed eral Administration for Nebraska. After careful consideration, this committee unanimously recommends and suggests to farmers that the gen eral price for husking in good corn shall be six cents per bushel and in addition to said price that machine un loading facilities be furnished the husker; also, that team, wagon, and tapr^and lodging he provided. Where the <Sorn'is poor, the! price shall be in creased., sufficiently to meet the equities in the' cate; and if machine Unloading faoilities pre not furnished, those pickers * *whb unload com by hand shall be given an additional remuneration that wjll be fair pay for the work, they do. In case the busker furnishes a'team, the employer shall board the samp. The committee realizes the abso lute , necessity of ipyal co-operation with the National (government in its jsndeavor t to. secure the harvesting of foodstuffs rapidly and with as little waste as possible. Nebraska’s con tribution to the Nation’s needs must be loyally and heartily given. Employ ers pnd. employees are called upon to do their part,; patriotically in the gathering of Nebraska’s banner com crop. The cry of the Nation is that FOOD WlIiL WIN THE WAR. :!•. t ! I'.i ' 1 Housing Machinery Pays. Meet the rising price of machinery by making every machine last1 !6hg*r *—tills is ah “econpmy- suggestion1? from the agricultural engineering^! partment of the University of Ne-‘ braska. The life of a machine may be greatly lengthened by providing proper shelter, adjusting parts for wear, lubricating freely, and making prompt repairs.'1 | tv* — Bedtime For Strawberries. It’a time to put your; strawberries a, bed for the ,winter j ip a heavy inket of /straw ;jpst ab soon as the ground is frozen hard enough to bear the weight of a waggon, say iorticnl 'tuyift*s,.^,:the University ’ Farm. Coarse straw or very coarse, weed free hay makes the best winter wrap for these plants. Manure is likely to peat apd thus injure them. Fine material of any kind will smother them out. “ ‘ ' ' Vt j ' Poultry House Whitewash. A whitewash that disinfects, kills mitqa, and brightens the poultry house is made as follows: Slack 5 quarts of rock lime with hot water to about fhe consistency of cream. To this, add 1 pint of crude carbolic acid or zenolem, and 1 quart' of kerosene. Stir thor oughly, and dilute with twice its own volume of water. Apply with either spray pump or whitewash, brush. When properly prepared, this solution serves three purposes: The zenolem acts as a disinfectant, killing the germs; the kerosene penetrates the wood, destroying the mites; and the lime whitens the walls, making the building Sweet and light.

Nebraska’s* response to the sale of Liberty Bonds has heen magnificent, yet it is only a beginning. Within the week Nebraska must subscrihe its al lotment/and much work remains to be, done. . Omaha started off its campaign with a whirlwind drive, subscribing seven and a half million dollars in less than an hour; The Nebraska bankers put the state on the map when they subscribed $3,000,000 at the annual meeting of the Association. But Nebraska has to boll up a grand total of more than $30,000,000. This amount is only a loan, not a gift. You will get it back with interest. The business organizations have done their part. They have subscribed liberally. New it’s up to the small wage earner—the professional man— the farmer and the women to do their part. The buying of a $50.00 bond means as much as the buying of a $1,000 bond. Theie is every reason why these bends Should be bought by everyone. They are the best investment in the world; they pay four per cent inter est;, they are practically tax free. They mean a, saving ar>d a nest egg for every purchaser; And; more than all, the Government must have the money to finance the war. It’s your war and it’s you the soldibrs in the trenches are fighting for. It's your duty to provide the soldiers who have given up all to fight for you and Liberty, with the best of food, the best of clothing, and the best of. ammunition. Fifty dollars spent now in defense may save five thous and a year from now. Every home in the state should be the possessor of Liberty Bonds. When the final roll is called and when this war is won by the Allies, hold ers of Liberty bonds will be ranked as ’the patriots, alongside of the boys, who have left father, mother, brother, sweetheart, and sister to fight for you. The reputation of the state is at shake; the reputation of the Govern ment is at stake; and Liberty and Democracy are,on the altar. You must -- *• do your part if you cannot fight, provide the necessities. You can do it by loaning this money to your Gov ernment. Are you going to have it said of you—“I did not do my duty. I let everyone but myself do his part in making safe, Democracy and Liberty.” If you are a loyal Nebraskan yoiur answer November 1st "Will be: “I have done my duty—I have my Liberty Bonds.” First Shipment of Hospital Supplies.

Let every one sacrifice a few days time and do their part toward taking care of the bOys who are sacrificing their all. THIS MEANS EVERY WOMAN AND GIRL IN HOLT COUNTY.
