j roo. being 10 years. 3 months and 16
days. There were six or seven ten
i year guesses, but that of Mr. Holcomb

Record Attend
ance at Corn and
Hog Exhibition
Forty-Two Entries in Corn Show Held
at Weeping Water the Past
Week Fine Showing
Cass county's fourth annual corn
and ho? d:iy was held in Weeping
Water ast Thursday. About one
hundred and fifty people attended
the afternoon meeting.
Paul McDill. livestock specialist
from Lincoln explained the calf
creep-feeding projects that are to
be carried on in the state this year.
A summary of the records given on
creep-feeding work in Kansas shows
that where calves are allowed to eat
from a creep throughout the sum
iiner. they can be weaned und put on
full feed without any interruptions
in their growth. Where the calves
are fattened this way the costs of
gains are by far cheaper than any
other method of producing beef.
After a free lunch, the meeting
opened with a talk on tractor farm
ing by DeForest Brown, farmed 160
acres with a tractor, using horses
only to rake hay and haul corn from
the picker to the barn. Lee Faris of
Union. Cass county's champion corn
grower in the 'ten acre corn yield
ontest, told of his methods of pre
paring the seed bed, planting and
cultivating. Mr. Faris won the coun
ty contest with a 62 bushel yield.
The same field produced 100 bushels
per acre last year.
D. L. Gross, crops specialist from
the College of Agriculture, in his re
port of the county and state corn
yield contests, pointed out that at
present corn prices, where a man
gives 2-5 rent and has a yield of 3 5
bushels per acre he doesn't make a
cent, but is getting paid only for his
labor. Mr. Gross says. "The man
that keeps his soil in such a high
state of fertility that when the wea
ther conditions are favorable, he can
produce 60 bushels or more per acre.
is the man that will be getting the
most per acre for his corn crop."
Mr. McDill's talK on "Pig Raising
Practices of Successful Hog Growers"
showed conclusive evidence that the
common practice of hog raisers, of
picking their largest and best look
ing gilts for the next year's brood
sows usually results in a "run out"
hunch of hogs. The reason for this
is that in picking these large, nice,
looking gilts, they are usually from
a small litter and have had the best
chance. They interit the tendency
for small litters and as a result their
litters are small and as a result they
"run out" and the breeder is look
ins to his neighbor for breeding
I gilts. This can easily be overcome
I by litter-marking the pigs when
j young and when the time comes to
pick the breeding gilts you can pick
the best ones from the largest litters.
Results of feeding experiments re-
veal the following equivalents as
quoted by Mr. McDill:
100 lbs. corn 115 lbs. barley.
100 lbs. corn 96 lbs. wheat.
100 lbs. corn 167 lbs. oats.
100 lbs. corn 100 lbs. shorts.
100 lbs. corn 109 lbs. rye.
1 lb. tankage 2 gal. skim milk.
1 lb. tankage- 2 gal. bu'ter milk.
1 lb. tankage gal. . mi-solid
butter milk.
1 lb. tankage 1 lbs. Linseed oil
meal.
1 11). tankage 1 U lbs. Cotton seed
meal.
"As shown by these results, farm
ers have been valuing oats too high
as a hog feed." says Mr. McDill.
The new rules for the pig crop
contest call for two divisions, 6 to
15 sows and 16 or more. Each of
these divisions will be divided into
a market class and breeders class.
Th? principal reason for this division
is that the breeders do not want their
hogs as fat as those going to market.
The simple fact that, never has
a man been a winner in the Nebraska
Pig Crop contest unless he carried
lout all the details of the clean ground
system, should be proof enough of
its economic value. The average sow
in Nebraska produces 5.5 pigs per
litter. It takes four of these to pay
the bill, leaving one and one-half
pig for profit. The winner in the
pig crop contest produced 7 pigs
per sow, leaving him three pigs for
profit.
Several men have already enrol'
ed in the ten acre corn yield at d
pig crop contest. Enrollment cards
will be sent upon request, from the
County Agent. D. D. Walnscott.

Commerce offered the cash prizes for

wood Young Man
From Tuesday's Danv
The jury th;it neard the case of
the State of Nebraska vs. Everett
Stewart in the district court yester
day, at the close ot the afternoon
when the evidence was submitted to
them, acquitted the Greenwood young
man who was charged with assault
and robbery.

his way home from his place of busi-
ness and in the holdup the sum of
$30 was taken from Mick.

attention from the residents of the
vicinity of Greenwood and many of
the friends of the Stewart family
were here to witness the acquittal
of the young man.

Red Cross Relief
for Drouth Areas
is Needed Badly
Local Chapter in Drive for Funds Re
ceive Facts as to Conditions in
the Drouth Country.
The local chapters that are mem
bers of the Cass county chapter of
the American Red Gross are now en
gaged in raising 'their part of the
$10,000,000 fund that the people
of the nation are being asked to
supply to aid the suffering in the
drouth stricken areas.
The Plattsmouth chapter is solicit
ing aid wherever possible for the
county quota and those who can
are urged to donate by leaving their
amounts at the Plattsmouth State
bank or with W. G. Kieck. chapter
chairman.
The reports from the drouth area
show the real need that exists at this
time as the facts set forth below
show:
A communication comes from Earl
county. Ark., that 376 head of stock
has died of starvation; one woman
plantation owner lost fifteen of her
thirty-five mules yesterday, and pre
dictions are that a large number of
the stock will be dead if the animals
do not get feed within the next ten
days. A trading company has two
mules jacked up in the barn to keep
them on their feet while being fed.
They had just been brought in from
a plantation where no food was
available. Large planters are driv
ing their stock to the western part
of the country and are turning them
out on fields of rice stubbles and for
age. The small renter is the hard
est hit, because if his mules pull
thru they will not be able to work
in the spring.
The Hawaii Red Cross chapter
cabled that it gladly accepted its
$1,000 quota. Will Rogers called on
Chairman Payne of the Red Cross to
his assistance. Rogers plans to tour
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, giv
ing the proceeds to relief refund,
betters and telegrams reflecting ser-
j'ous conditions continue to come
trom itogers nome state. umanouia.
He says all the money I raise for
these folks will be spent thru the Red
Cross. Why. there is no organization
in the world that can reach these
people but the Red Cross.
Ralph T. O'Neil, national com
mander of the American Legion,
stated "the Red Cross campaign for
$10,000,000 deserves and has" the full
support of the American Legion. This
is the time for all American citizens
to come forward and help this worthy
cause. Ten thousand posts of the
American Legion will co-operate to
the fullest extent in this emergency."
Wires like the following are re
ceived every day: "Need 100 pounds
yeast to combat pellagia. Many fam
ilies bare-footed and scantily cloth
ed. Flu and pneumonia on increase.
Need 500 pairs shoes, stockings, un
derwear, and overalls."
Prnm Oklahoma letter reads: "We
i have divided the county into units
i composed of the school districts ana
have asked the clerks of the different
school boards to act as Red Cross rep
resentatives in their district. We
are puting on an extensive drive in
the county in order to strengthen our
chapter.
"Our supply of clothing and food j
is exhausted and we are in need of
immediate relief for those who are
destitute. We will have to care for
500 families at this time, and more
if the weather becomes more severe.
These families are on the verge of
starvation and without sufficient
clothing to prevent the keeneth suf
fering during the cold weather."
WILL STUDY RADIO
Eugene Bushnell of this city de
parted Sunday for Chicago where he
will enter the Coyne school at that
place to take up a course in radio
engineering and television. Mr.
Bushnell has been interested in radio
work for the past few years and has
shown a great deal of skill in the
building, handling and repairing of
sets and with the special training
at the Chicago school will be able to

and also have an insight Into the
coming developments in television.
Mr. Bushnell is a graduate of the
class of 1929 of the Plattsmouth high
school.
QUIET AT COURT HOUSE

drawn through a sharpening, device
and which worked only to well as
Mrs. Kunsmann discovered, the knife
slipping and cutting the knuckle of
one of the fingers of the left hand.
The knuckle was almost severed and
made necessary the need of a physi
