Rooney, County Extension Agent Crops and Soils Field Day June 23 The tenth annual crops and soils field day is scheduled at the Agricul tural College in Lincoln on Tuesday, June 23rd. Weed identification and eradication, alfalfa wilt, uncommon crops, good soil and crop manage ment, and the annual tour to the! Held tests of the experiment station, are features of the program. County agents, vocational agriculture in structors and members of the Ne braska Crop Growers Association are expected to help the Agricultural College officials with the attendance and the program. 4-H Club District Judging Days 4-H Club members and leaders will get together at nine district judging days in June and again in August. Extension workers in coun ties and from the Agricultural Col lege at Lincoln will arrange articles of clothing, baked and canned goods, furniture, curtains, rugs, etc., and classes of livestock and soil products for the boys and girls to judge. The club members are to develop their ability to choose and buy or sell wisely, as well as prepare for coun ty and state judging contests at the fairs. 4-H club news reporters will get together at the same time for a news writing school. They plan to use a new circular just off the press and to practice writing club news stories. The schedule is: Lincoln, June 1(5; Clay Center, June 18; North Platte, June 19; McCook, June 20; Bridgeport, June 22; Chadron and Kearney, June 23; Sidney and Nor folk, June 24. Control For Garden Bests Lead arsenate and nicotine sulph ate spray will get most of the gar den pests, O. S. Bare, of the Agricul tural College, says. The lead arsen ate spray will kill most insects and worms that eat foliage off the plants. The nicotine sulphate will get many of those which suck the sap out of the stems and leaves. Cucumber beet les, cutworms and grasshoppers can not be controlled satisfactorily with the usual method of spraying poison on the gar'den vegetables. The best control for cucumber beetles is to dus*. the plants well with a mixture of one ounce of calcium arsenate and one pound of hydrated lime. Poison ed bran is probably the most effect ive control for cutworms and grass hoppers. A quarter of a pound of Paris Green or white arsenic and five pounds of bran mixed with enough water and one-half pint molasses to make a bran crumbly when spread, makes a satisfactory poison. A fine ly chopped ogange or lemon added to the bran will make it more attractive to the grashoppers, but it is not nec essary for the cutworms. The poison bran should be scattered thinly around the bases of garden plants early in the evening for cutworms. For grasshoppers it should be scat tered thinly over the ground between eight and ten in the morning. 4-H News Reporters Enter Contest Announcement is made this week of a news writing contest for the 4-H clubs of Holt county. This contest will be sponsored by the O’Neill In dependent, Stuart Advocate and the Atkinson Graphic. The expenses of the winning news reporter at club week will be paid by these three pa pers. 'The Holt county champion will [compete with the other county cham pions for the state title. 15 counties held county news writing contests last year. The rules will be publish ed next week. Extension News and Exchange List The first copy of a mimeographed News and Exchange List will be dis tributed about July 1st. Anyone hav ing articles for sale or wishing to buy can notify, this office. The News and Exchange List will be distribut ed to Holt county farm bureau mem bers. Oyster Shell Scale Infestation Several pine groves in the south ern edge of Holt county and north ern Wheeler county show an infec tion of oyster shell scale. A number of these groves were sprayed by the Extension Service two years ago. The Extension Service will furnish a spray machine to interested parties. Transportation and the material nec essary for spraying would be fur nished by the land owner. If the spraying is handled on a community basis the cost to each land owner whose trees are infested, would not be a great deal. Anyone interested in spraying is asked to write this of fice.

We will meet at the home of Lucille Lowery, on June 18th. Velma Krska, Reporter. METHODIST CHURCH NOTES Benj. Kuhler, Pastor That was a fine record again last Sunday. Just about what the aver age might be, I think. Were we thankful for the rain? We hope so. We still have a great deal to be grateful for when we think of the condition of other parts of the world. Let us not “foresake the assembling of ourselves together” for worship and praise to God. We believe there is a serious turning in that direction, as people are discovering the futility of a life apart from God, for does He not say that “apart from me ye can do nothing?” Next Sunday is the regular day for Children’s Day, but there will be no program on account of the Vaca tion School. They will have a pro giam the following Sunday night to be announced next week. However, we will have the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper next Sunday morning, with baptismal service and reception of members into the church. Either infants or older ones may be baptiz ed.
