When questioned by Judge Begley

Stated that Monhollon had asked him
where there was a bank that could

tioned the Bank of Murdock and the
two with Ross Walker, the seventeen-year-old
brother, had come to
Nebraska City where tliey had visit

While Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Mc
Clusky, enjoying their summer vaca
tion, were at the lakes in Wisconsin
they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
H. C. Lindsay, former promi.ient
Lincoln residents, at the town of
Lodi. On this occasion Rev. McClusky
made many fine catches of fish and
reports of which have reached this
city from various sources. The genial
.:inisier is reported to have caught
some 291 white bass in four and I
half days, a number that stagg?red
the local fishermen, used to angling
for cat and other fish in the Platte
and Missouri river. Now that this is
no fish story, Mr. Lindsay, who for
mStty years was clerk of the Ne
braska supreme court has sent to
this city the undeniable proof that
Rev H. G. McClusky is a real fish
erman. To those who do not be
lieve this the statement of Mr. Lind
say, given- below ought to be con
vincing: State of Wisconsin , County of
Pane. ss.
The undersigned, members of
Waunakee Camp In said county and
state for the purpose of bolstering
tip the rather shady reputation of
Harry G. McClusky of Plattsmouth.
Nebraska, do hereby, on fishermen's
oath, declare and say that the said
McClusky was instrumental in the
catching of 291 white bass in 4Vs
(lavs, July 20 to 24. Inclusive, 1931,
(many of the hsh caught oy Mc
Cluskv weighed as much as five
pounds.) The said McClusky claims
that 150 or more of said fish were
personally caught by him. which we
are not prepared ;o deny.
Anyhow, we unite in testifying
that he is a "good fellow." and we
urge that you, to whom this state
ment is presented, give full credence,
so far as your judgment will per
mit, to his claims.

Renvesentatives Selected for Fremont
Convention: To Sponsor Home
Talent Entertainments.
l! the world were to end in a blaze
of glory the people would be too busy
praying to notice the spectacle. ,
From Wednesday's Daily
The meeting of Hugh J. Keams
!)ost of the American Legion last
evening was attended by a very
pleasing number of the members and
the chief business of the evening was
thai of the selection of the delegates
to the state convention which is to
be held at Fremont on August 24th
t :.' tith inclusive.
The delegates named to represent
the local post were: Judge A. H.
Duxbury, Dr. Charles M. Gradoville
and James Persinger, while the alter
nates selected were Clyde Jackson.
Louis Baumgart and C. A. Marshall.
The post lias depended on activ
ities of various kinds for the fl
nancing of their building and other
necessaiy expenses connected with
the maintenance of the building,
sponsoring indoor carnivals as well
as the summer outdoor carnivals,
which in the past provided the funds
that made possible the purchase of
the site for ihe building and a gre-it
deal toward its erection as well as
the payments on the Indebtedness.
A number of objections have been
made by residents as to the outdoor
traveling carnivals arid this matter
was discussed at some length by the
members of the Iegion as well as
several of the residents of the city
who had been invited to be present
to give their views.
It was the decision of the post and
which received the hearty endorse
ment of the citizens present, that the
Legion would sponsor at least three
home talent attractions during the
coming fall and winter season, the
first of which, a ministrel show,
would be given in October. It is1
hoped in this manner to be able to se
cure funds that will materially re
duce the indebtedness on the build
ing and enable the Legion to carry
on their other activities in commun
ity service.
The committee named by Com
mander Olson to carry on the enter
t linrm-nt plans are L. W. Niel, Leo
Boynton and H. L. Gayer.

New Circular on Trench Silo.
Copies of the newly published Ex
tension circular upon trench silo in
Nebraska are being distributed. The
circular is written by Ivan D. Wood
and E. B. Lewis of the Agricultural
Engineering department at the col
lege, Lincoln. A total of 15,000
copic s of the bulletin have been pub
lished to meet the drouth emergency
of 1931.
The circular is well illustrated
with pictures and drawings of the
trench silo and it is described in
every detail. Features of the con
struction include easily and quickly
c i!-tructed for emergency use, built
with unskilled labor and with ma
chinery on most any tarm, and de
sired capacity can be had by increas
ing hte length of the trench.
The trench silo is finding favor
among many Cass county farmers. It
can be constructed for a cost of $5.00
to $10.00 besides the farm labor. No
great capital output is necessary for
the construction of the trench silo.
Two trench silos were dug at the
Agricultural College in 1930 for
study by Wood and Lewis. The silo
built near the sheep barn was 40
feel b ug, 7 feet deep, and 12 feet
wide at the top, 8 feet wide at the
bottom and two 20 foot inclines at
the ends. A total fo 114.84 Tons of
ensilage were put into the silo.
Eleven farmers built trench silos
in the county last year ana ail 01
them report fine results.
Copies of the trench silo circular
may be had at the Farm Bureau Office.

The Poultry and Egg Outlook.
Reduction i nnumbers of poultr
on arms, reduced storage siocks.
ciieaper feeds in relation to prices ot
poultry and eggs and the sustained
hi-umplion of poultry products are
i1"- outstanding factors in tne poul-
ii v outlook. The July 1 number of
bens in farm flocks is 5 per cent
les than on that date in 1930 and
the number of chickens is 10 per cent
less than on that date last year. July
1 -locks of poultry In cold storage
this rear were unusually low, being
about 40 per cent less than on that
date in 1930 and 25 per cent less
ilian the average July 1 stocks for
ihe preceding five years. Stocks of
case eggs on July 1 this year were
12 per cent less than on that date in
1330 and 3 per cent less than the
5-year average. July 1 stocks of
f-ozen eggs, however, were only two
por cent below those of 1930, while
they were 40 per cent above the 5
year average. The quantity of eggs
being broken for freezing has been
rapidly increasing for several years.
( mbined stocks of case and frozen
eggs were equivalent to about 9 per
cm less than last year, but 5 per
cent more than the 5-year average.
The condition of crops on July 1
promises an abundance of feed. On
June 15 the relative price of chick
en was considerably above and that
of eggs slightly above the price of
feed, compared either with last year
or with the June average for 5-year
period 1923-1927.

With most Nebraska pastures dried
up. many dairy herd improvement
associations ami other dairymen are
Sliding it necessary to feed grain to
their enws. according to E. C.
Svheidenhelm of the Agricultural
College. Scheidenhelm. who Is an
Extension Dairyman at the College,
suggests that Nebraska dairymen
leed some wheat in their ration. I'n
der present price conditions he be
lieves it is cheaper to feed wheat
rather than corn. Some dairymen
who bays used wheat, however, say
that it tends to slow up the milk
production. Nevertheless the College
t t Agriculture man says a ration
made up of one-fourth or one-third
wheat will not hurt the cows.
A miture consisting ot 300 pounds
of efound wheat. 300 pounds of
ground oats, 300 pounds ground bar-
- or corn along with 100 pounds
of either cottonseed or linseed meal
is suggested. Another mixture in
i liidos :"()() nounds ground corn or
bnrlev. F.00 nounds oats and 100
pounds of either cottonseen or lin
seed meal.
Tn more milk a cow produces the
more grain she should be fed now
Scheidenhelm maintains. Jerseys
ami Guernseys producing up to 20
luiimHa of milk should receive one
pound of grain for every 7 pounds
nt milk while those producing froriT
30 to 35 pounds should get one
pound for each 4 pounds of milk.
Hol.-teins, Ayrshire and other cat
tle require about the same amount of
grain fo reach pound of milk pro
duced. Those giving 25 to 30 pounds
of milk are to receive one pound of
grain for every 7 pounds of milk
while those producing over 40 pounds
Of milk should get one pound of grain
for every 5 pounds of milk.
