The presentation of diplomas,
which were given by County Sup
erintendent Elja McCullough was
preceded by a short program. The
rural rythm band of ddistrict No.
165, of which Miss Lucille Hickey
is the teacher, caused much favor
able comment. The principal ad

Suggestions For Planting
Of Sorghum Crops
Two of the best guarantees of a
good yield of grain sorghums this
year are to treat seed for smut and
plant at the proper rate according
to information from the Nebraska
college of agriculture, pointed out
by the county agent this week.
Estimates by A. E. Anderson,
State and Federal Statistician, are
that Nebraska’s grain sorghum
yield last year averaged 10 bushels
per acre in spite of the drouth.
This yield probably could have been
much higher except for one thing—
planting too thick.
Some farmers, even in extremely
dry areas of Nebraska reported
they obtained good yields by set
ting planters or listers to drop seed
at the rate of only two or three
seeds per foot. This rate of plant
ing under favorable conditions pro
duces a plant for every 10 or 12
inches which in a good stand ac
cording to the Nebraska College of
Agriculture.
Many other fields were a total
failure because they were planted
too thick with the result that they
failed to head. The use of sor
ghum plates is necessary since com
plates are not satisfactory in giv
ing uniform distribution of such a
small amount of seed.
Some farmers have reported as
much as 60% of their sorghum
grain crop was lost last year be
cause it was not treated for smut.
Three ounces of copper carbonate
dust properly applied to one bushel
of seed will insure the grower prac
tically 100% against loss from
smut in sorghums.
Circulars are available free of
charge at the county agent’s of
fice in O’Neill suggesting good
methods of adjusting listers and
planters for the correct rate of
planting and outlining low cost
methods of treating seed for smut.

the year. There were three medals
awarded, the first being on the hon
or list and was given to those who
rtfted high in scholastic ability dur
ing the school year. The second
medal was awarded for excellence
and was given to those who had
shown notable improvement in
their school work. The other was
the merit badge given to those pu
pils who had shown their loyalty to
St. Mary's in a special way by

A Clean-Up Held For
Forrestry Field Day
Country and city folks alike are
repairing, cleaning and painting
their buildings, yards and farm
lots, getting them ready for their
premier show'ng on June 16, when
several thousand visitors will be in
this area for the Nebraska For
estry Field Day and Picnic.
Many farmers are busy cultivat
ing lheir shelterbelts and farm
rtead windbreaks. Several of the
old timber claims have been clean
ed up in order to have them ap
pearing their best for the Forestry
Field Day. The trees look better
than they have for several years
as a result of this extra attention.
Estimates of the-'orowd that will
attend the Field Day range from
fifteen to thirty-five thousand vis
itors. These Deonle are coming to
this community to see the trees and
for a lesseon in tree culture. They
will go home and praise your tree
planting if it is well cultivated and
the trees are growing. Plantings
that are weedy will also be talked
about but not favorably and they
will leave a poor impression on
the visitors.
City parks and picnic areas are
being put in readiness to accommo
date one of the largest crowds that
ever turned out in this area.
