JACKSON, .GRANT, SEEKS EE-ELECTION in the primary department fcera in the SStli district "Lincoln, May 8. E. E. Jackman, Grant banker and sponsor of several regulatory banking measures consid ered :by recent legislature, filed Thursday as a candidate idr re- lec tion on the Republican ticket ttom Years ago, May and June chicks were "natural." We couldn't raise them earlier because we couldn't get them "out-of-doors." Cod liver oil and advanced nutritional knowledge have bridged this gap, so they can now be raised indoors, early and more artificially. The late chick has become out of fashion, out of date. Every chick has to be "early," and every argument possible has been marshalled out and into line against late chicks. However, reason dictates this fact: May and June hatched chicks will be money makers in November if they are given proper care, proper environ ment, proper feed and proper feed ing. Perhaps those who are preju diced against "warm weather" chicks will ask what is meant by a "pro gram of proper care, environment, proper feed, and feeding." Such gen eral terms might well be questioned. Proper care of late chicks means giving them the same care that is now given early chicks. Is thi3 ask ing too much? Proper care consists of a plan of reasonable sanitation as to cleaning the houses, cleaning out drinking fountains, supplying fresh water regularly, dry litter, and above all else, regular periodic attention to a particular program of care. Pro- grePoive feed manufacturers and agri cultural colleges outline programs for the care of chicks. Ado'pe one of these plans and follow it religiously. Nothing is ever successfully raised without care, no matter the season. Proper environment of late chicks includes sufficient room with plenty of fresh air so they will not crowd and sweat at night, a range separate from older chickens and clean, new trround with shade. A field of half grown corn will provide shade and frequent cultivation will keep the ground clean. Summertime offers inexpensive and ideal environmental factors that are far superior to the confinement neces sary to early brooding. All other things being equal, range raised chickens will be hardier than those reared in confinement. Proper feed means feeding through out the summer a quality growing mash and scratch feed, both contain ing' a good variety of ingredients to supply all a growing bird requires for ideal development. Any concoc tion of a mash ration, any mixture of poor quality scratch grains will not do the job. The soundest test of a good poul tryman is whether or not he can raise a good batch of pullets year in and year out consistently. All of those who are poultrymen by this test are very particular about their rations, usually feeding the highest quality commercial rations on the market. A May or June chick, fed a high quality mash and scratch ration will be full-grown, solid, well-feathered, vigorous in health, and laying mar ketable eggs in November. But it can't be done without good feed. It can't be done by feeding growing mash half of the summer and allow ing the pullets to coast down hill during the other half. Given proper care, environment and feed, there still remains proper feeding. A good fede can be made ineffective by the use of poor feed ing judgment. Two dairymen al ternately feeding the same herd of cows the same feed vary in the amount of milk they produce. The variable factor is neither the cows nor the feed, but the actual feeding. Likewise with poultry, feeding prac tice is vital. A major demand is for a regular schedule of feeding. Again, many of the large progressive feed concerns and agricultural colleges outline plans of feeding, and it is a wise act indeed to adopt and follow one of these tested plans. Yes, with proper care, environ ment, feed and feeding. May and June hatched pullets will be money makers in November. DRYS THREATEN TO FIGHT D. W. MORROW Newark, N. J., May 7.

VISITORS Residents of Nebraska and of other states have learned something of the places of scenic interest to be reach ed by fine graveled highways and enjoyed by erason cf the comforts provided more and more each year for tourists travel. The year 1930 already gives prom ise of being a year of out-door pleas ures for Nebraska people who will be lured farther from their homes by the easy travel facilities that will be afforded this year by new high ways and better traveling accommo dations. Northwestern Nebraska is a de lightful section to visit in the sum mer, especially if one enjoys rugged pine clad hills and the broken scen ery such as are found in that sec tion. That part of the state is ac cessible by tine graveled roads and is gaining in fame each year as more people visit it. The North Platte contains the eastern extremity of Wild Cat range of hills coming down from Wyoming and tnding in surprising rock for mations. One of these is Scotts Bluff National Monument, a great rock, towering high above the plain and forming a rugged background for the city that bears its name. The bad lauds to the west cf that reck are a touch of the wilds of nature. The valley itself is a place of im mense interest by reason of its great fertility and intense cultivation for sugar beets and small crops. At Chadrcn State Park nature is seen in a turbulent mood. Rugged hills, pine clad slopes, and far stretching vistas entrance with their wild beauty. Near here is the enw ly acquired state game refuge and many places of scenic interest. II. park itself is a place of beauty. South of Chadrcn as one travels a fine graveled highway leading to Alliance a secticn of wild beauty is encountered that is a part of the Black Hills of South Dakota set down on the plains of Nebraska. One spot of historic interest is Sig nal Rock from whose eminence the Indians in early days wafted their messag3s to -cutlying tribes in flame and smoke in their primitive method of telegraphy. Northwestern Nebraska teems in places of delightful scenic interest and nature is lavish in her moods and caprices. MAY DAY TUESDAY AT GARFIELD PART. Providing theHvcather permits, the May Festival, under the direction of Miss Ruth Lindsay, music supervisor of the Plattsmouth schools, will be presented Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 in Garfield park.

With this in mind, they ask that every one attending bring blankets or pillows so that they may be seated on the ground. This will insure every one of getting a good view of the pageant. Chairs will be provided for the older folks, but it is urged that everyone co-operate in the plan of blankets and pillows and in this small way help make the children's May Day a gala occasion.
