Suggested Price For Husking Corn.
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.

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.

Buy Your Liberty Bond and Help Win
The War.
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.”
