The best attended feeder's day in
the history of agric ultural college
w as held at Linc oln April 20. It was
'estimated that 1.000 to 1.200 people
were in attendance. Some argue
! that the present high price of cattle
j was partly responsible for the inter
est being taken in this work. This is
'probably true to some extent, but the
attendance' has been steadily increas
ing during the' last few years, and
there seems to be an increased in
terestin the problems which are un-
considerat ion in the- various ex-
r pertinents.
' One experime nt was conducted at
jthe Valentine station and while it is
; extremely intere sting, it is probably
not ot so much practical value to

It -iiis a day of
it -.- turned out to
he-roe:, fioni a foreign shore. En
thusiasm se:aed to have no bounds
and no jarring note was heard in
all tumult of friendly greetings.
Tin t:b is had heard in advance
something of the st renuousness of
New York welcomes and at first they
wi m slightly nervous. The baron
e-ve-n stuffed cotton in his ears lest
the sound of carnival be too piercing
for him to stand Put fence the cele
bration was really under way, the
aviators lost their fears and joined
in tin spirit of the day with full de
light, shouting ami waving their hats
like boys fin a holiday.
The day's program began in mid
morning with a teiir fit" the harbor
in tin city tug Maeom. Launches
of welcome followed one after the
either, the wives smiled over inter
vening heads at their husbands and
little Patsy yawned tn unfeigned
boredom. Once she made a dash over
tables to reach her father, but was
(aught and restrained.
When all thefcspeeches were made,
medals pinned on, scrolls read and
other formalities complied with, the
husbands and wives at last were per
mitted to greet each other. After
Mrs. Koehl kissed her husband she
threw her arms around the major
and kissed him for good measure.
The parade continued then, still
thru cheering crowds that ove rflowed
into the wide streets. At Madison
square the fliers laid wreaths at the
base of the Kternal Light war mem
orial and at Fifth avenue and Forty
second street they paused while 12,
0)0 children in front of the library
sang in their honor.
For five hours the greetings lasted
and tomorrow- the city tenders them
a dinner and then they go to Wash
ington for a reception there before
