Short busi ness meeting will begin at 1 p.m. followed by a talk and slides on landscaping, also a pruning dem onstration by Wayne Whit ney, horticulturist from the ex tension department of the Uni versity of Nebraska college of agriculture. * County Agent Neil Dawes will also be present to give us some thing on 4 - H and Garden club work. t Everyone interested is invited to come. “The pioneer homesteaders of Nebraska had a firm belief in the horticultural future of our State,” according to Mrs. C. V. Robertson, of Chambers, who is district 4 director. “Through the years, their descendants have reaped bountiful harvests in ev ery section of the state; proof that the pioneers settled wisely and well. “Have we taken full advantage of thist heritage? Not until every home 'is attractively landscaped; * --- - - necessary windbreaks and wild life cover are established, road sides beautified, every wood patch is eliminated, can we claim full use of our inheritance. The farmers are doing their part through a soil building program. Meanwhile, the home gardener and flower grower can do his or her part by participating in other vital projects.” Garden clubs are organized lor the purpose of improving the standards of horticulture, aiding civic improvement projects, and assisting in soil and wildlife con servation. “A Garden club in your town or community — in cooperation with the Federated Garden clubs of Nebraska — can do much to ward the beautification of Ne braska,” Mrs. Robertson explain ed. If you are interested in or ganizing or joining a garden club, write for full information to Mrs. C. V. Robertson, director, dis trict 4, Chambers, or Mrs. E. J. Irving, organization chairman, 4612 Saratoga street, Omaha. Up-and-Al-Il Elects Leaders, Officers — The U-and-At-It club met at the home of Doris, Patty and Darlene Pierson Friday night, February 23.

This depends on the individual and certain conditions relative to his opera tions that may determine how fast it is economically practical for a change, where changes are needed to be made.
