Attending National Home
Extension Meetings.
Miss Evelyn Wolph, Nehawka, in
company with Mrs. Overton, Nebras

ton, and Miss Mary-Ellen Brown of
Lincoln, left Monday," September 16
for Columbus, Ohio, to attend the
National Home demonstration exten
sion meeting for farm women. Mrs.
Overton, from Nebraska City, leads
the round table discussion on exten
sion benefits Thursday.
Miss Evelyn Wolph, chairman of
the Cass county project clubs the
past year, will bring back a report of
these meetings for the Organized
Agriculture program.
Soybean Variety Demonstration.
Cass county farmers that are In
terested in soybean varieties, meth
ods of planting and cultivation, are
invited to attend a field demonstra
tion at the Parr Young farm, 42
miles west of Murray, Monday after
noon, September 23rd at 1:30 p. m.
These plots will show four va
rieties of soybeans, Dunfield, Manchu,
Illini and Virginias, planted in listed
rows, also planted with a lister and
cultivated, and also with a press drill.
D. L. Gross, of the College of Agri
culture, will be there to discus3 all
phases of soybean production. These
plots should be evidence of some of
the better varieties to be used in Cass
county.
Bust Off Lunch Box;
School Is Opening.
Vacation time Is over Tor the chil
dren and with it, mother's holiday
from packing the school lunch box.
This need not be the chore that it
often becomes, asserts Miss Baldwin,
county home demonstration agent.
Miss Baldwin reminds mothers that
the school lunch constitutes a third
of all the food a child eats and there
fore should be planned with consid
erable thought and not just hastily
flung together.
She explains, "The three require
ments of a school lunch are proper
balance, pleasing taste and appear
ance, and careful packing so that the
food is in good condition when noon
time arrives. The thermos bottle
takes care of the so-much-to-be de
sired cup of hot cocoa, or soup, while
small screw-top jars or waxed paper
containers make possible generous
portions of salad, applesauce and the
like.
"Sandwiches, however, will always
occupy the major space in a lunch
box and it is to these that I parti
cularly want to call mothers' atten
tion. Fillings that are easy to make
include cottage cheese, cream cheese,
eggs, fish, meat or chicken, nuts and
fruit. The protein part of the meal
is provided in the meat, eggs or
cheese sandwiches, while the nut and
fruit combinations supply the young
sters' natural craving for sweets and
make unnecessary the usual cake or
cookies. Fruits of course always have
a place in the well-balanced packed
lunch."
Extension Circular 980, "Sandwich
Suggestions," and Circular 990, "The
School Lunch" contain many sugges
tions for preparing appetizing school
lunches and may be had upon re
quest, at the Farm Bureau office.
Public Hearing on Fu
ture Ccrn-Hog Program.
"The Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration announced that a public
hearing on a future corn-hcg adjust
ment program will be held in the
small ballroom of the Willard Hotel
in Washington, D. C. on September
26 at 10 a. m.
The hearing will be held under the
provisions of the new amendments to
the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
All interested parties will be giv
en an opportunity to be heard upon
the following questions:
1. Whether the current average
farm price of corn and of hogs is
less than the fair exchange value of
these commodities.
2. Whether the average farm price
of corn and of hogs is likely to be
loss than the fair exchange value of
these commodities during the period
when the corn and hogs produced
during the curernt or next succeed
ing marketing year will be normally
marketed.
3. Whether the conditions and fac
tors relating to the production, mar
keting and consumption of corn and
hogs are such that the exercise of
any one or more of the powers con
ferred upon the Secretary of Agri
culture under the acts as amended
will tend to effectuate the declared
policy of the act.
4. Whether the exercise of the
lower to provide for adjustments in
acreage or production of corn and
bogs through agreements with corn
and hog producers for the adjustment
payments in connection with such
agreements is administratively prac
ticable and best calculated to effec
tuate the declared policy of the act.
Extracts from Press Re
lease on Potato Plan.
The Potato Control Act proposes
the levying of a taiupon all pota
toes sold in excess of a national sales
t-llotment for potatoes.
At present, parity price on pota
toes is approximately 90 cents a
bushel. Prevailing market prices are
about 45 per cent of parity.
It is estimated that under pre
vailing conditions, potato producers
in the United States might expect
to receive approximately $72,000,000
more for a total crop of 340,000,000
bushels than for 400,000,000 bush
els. By the terms of the act, the allot
ment year for potatoes is the 12
month period beginning December 1
and ending November 30. The first
allotment year begins December 1,
1935.
The states are given allotments,
which may be sold tax free, on the
basis of past production and acreage.
In turn, through representatives of
the producers, tax free allotments are
given counties and individual potato
farms.
On all potatoes sold in excess of al
lotments a tax of 3-4 of a cent per
pound is to be levied, unless the Sec
retary of Agriculture fixes a lower
rate of tax, but this rate can not be
less than 1-2 cent per pound.
The tax on sales above tax exempt
allotments is upon the first sale of
potatoes and is to be paid for by the
seller. Transfers of tax exmption
stamps betwen individual growers are
to be governed by regulations of the
Secretary of Agriculture which will
provide the prire at which stamps
may be sold and the procedure for the
transfer. Penalties for violations of
the act to not extend to the purchaser
of potatoes for ordinary household
consumption. Farmers whose sales
have averaged five bushels or less In
the past will receive a tax free allot
ment in line with past sales if they
aply for such an allotment.
Potatoes sold for export are also
exempt from the tax and under cer
tain conditions potatoes for manu
facture into by-products or livestock
feeding may be exempted.
At least 30 days prior to the be
ginning of each allotment year, the
Secretary of Agriculture will an
nounce the tax free allotment of
potatoes.
Allotments to farms are to be made
upon application by producers. The
act provides for the distribution of
at least 95 per cent of a state's allot
ment to farms on which potatoes
were grown during one or more years
1932-34. Such allotments may be
made upon the basis of a percentage
of the sales history of the farm.
Five per cent of the state's allot
ment may go to farms operated by
new producers.
Before each allotmejit year, save
the year beginning December 1, 1935,
the Secretary of Agriculture must de
termine whether a majority of the
potato growers receiving allotments
wish the act to be effective during the
following crop year.
In 1929, 332.415,914 bushels of
potatoes were purchased on 2,944,082
acres. Approximately half of the 6,
288,648 farms in the United States
reported potato prdouction, but only
about one-fourth of those growing
potatoes grew them commercially.
The potato program is to be concern
ed primarily with those who grow
potatoes for sale.
A Flea Merits All
Attention It Gets.
Less than a dozen of the SCO spe
cies of fleas known to exist are of spe
cial interest as pests to man and ani
mals, but, say entomologists in the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, "any flea of these few species
when bent upon satisfying its appe
tite, justifies the attention given it."
Fleas, in addition to being an annoy
ance, often carry disease.
Protection against fleas by U3e of
traps and repellants is important, but
secondary to destroying them and
their breeding places. Fleas breed in
greatest numbers in moist soil or
dust containing vegetable and ani
mal matter and protected from wind,
rain and sun.
Animals and poultry should be
kept from beneath buildings, infested
areas sprayed with creosote, and
ground where immature fleas are de
veloping covered with salt and thor
oughly wet down. Houses may be rid
of fleas by keeping out pet animals,
applying kerosene extract of pyre
thrum (fly spray) to the floors after
all rugs have been removed and the
floors scrubbed with soap and water.
An even better method is to scatter
5 pounds of flaked naphthalene on
the floor and each infested room and
leaveit closed for 24 to 4S hours.
Fleas on pet animals may be destroy
ed with derrls powder, fresh pyre
thrum powder, or with a weak solu
tion of saponfied creosote or kero
sense emulsion.
WANT SIOUX CITY BRIDGE
Washington. A strong "uid is be
ing made here to obtain a 45 per
cent public works grant for construc
tion of a four lane bridge across the
Missouri between Sioux City, la., and
South Sioux City, Neb.
Authorization of the bridge was
made in an omnibus bill, passed by
congress. It was one of a series 6f
bridges for which PWA funds have
been sought, but those interested said
the Sioux City projece appeared to
have the best chance.
The application calls for the usual
45 percent grant, the governmnt to
buy bonds for the remaining 55 per
cent. This would be liquidated by
tolls over an estimated ten years.
Promoters of a proposed span
across the Missouri at Erownville,
Neb., were hopeful for a time of fed
eral help, but Missouri PWA reports
have not ben submitted and officials
here are said to have indicated it
could not be considered for this rea
son. Efforts also have been started to
obtain Missouri river bridges at Nio
brara, Neb., and between Decatur,
Neb., and Onawa, la., both author
ized by congress.

SUGAR MEN ASK EXTENSION
Washington. Secretary Wallace
was urged Wednesday by represen
tatives of sugar beet growers asso
ciations to make an early decision on
proposed extension thru 193G of the
sugar control program. The growers
are anxious for a definite decision as
soon as possible so they may prepare
for next year.
In order to assure early benefit
payments the growers recommended
a speeding up of compliance work
under the allotment procedure. In
connection with the 1936 program
officials of the AAA sugar section
have Invited sugar processors to meet
with them in Washington next
week. A committee of growers rep
resentatives now here will remain
to take part.
Mail Courses
for Students are
Proposed
Would Ee Offered by the National
Youth Administration to
Young People.
Washington. correspondence
courses may be offered by the nation
al youth administration to young
people who cannot afford to remain in
school but whose families are too
proud or self-reliant to apply for re
lief. The plan has been worked out
in conference with representatives of
a number of university extension ser
vices. They estimated $1,600,000
would be necessary to put it in oper
ation and maintain it until next
June. President Roosevelt's works al
lotment board probably will pass up
on a request for such a sum in the
near future.
Consideration cf the correspond
ence courses followed protests from
several sources that other forms of
aid offered college and high school
students would not reach many on
the "border line" of relief.
These sources pointed out that the
S6 a month payments promised high
school students who have a "relief
status" would not be available to
boys and girls whose families are
hard pressed but not actually on re
lief. They said also that the $15 a
month aid offered college students
who otherwise would have to leave
school was not sufficient to solve the
problem for those who have no other
resources.
Correspondence studies would be
offered to persons between 16 and 25
who are forced to quit school. The
plan is to use unemployed teachers to
draft or assemble the correspondence
courses under the supervision of state
departments of education or other
public institutions. These public in
stitutions also would select instruc
tors from relief rolls to receive and
grade students' papers. In commun
ities where sufficient correspondent
students lived near enough to come
in occasionally, local authorities
would be asked to set up study cen
ters with some library facilities and
unemployed teacher in charge.
Dr. J. D. Russell, associate pro
fessor of education at the University
of Chicago, loaned to the youth ad
ministration temporarily as a con
sultant, said the proposal would op
erate mainly in rural areas where
children are so far from schools they
can not attend without boarding
away from home.

Roosevelt Trip
to Pacific vill
Include Omaha
Day of Starting Not Yet Announced;
Secretary Ickes, Administrator
Hopkins to Go Along.
President Roosevelt said at Hyde
Park he Is going across the country
to the Pacific coant on the most direct
route, but he made no announcement
of when the start would be made. He
did say to the newspapermen at the
regular semi-weekly Interview that
Secretary Ickes, the public works ad
ministrator, and Harry L. Hopkins,
works progress administrator, would
accompany him.
Before writing a letter late In the
day to Joseph P. Kennedy on his re
tirement as chairman of the secur
ities and exchange tor.imis.sion, the
president took a ride behind the
wheel about the place and visited the
school children at Hyde Park. Re
turning, he put the final o.k. on the
members of the new coal commission
to administer the Cuffey coal stabil
ization act. So far as the European
situation is concerned he said he had
not talked with Washington on it
for two days.
The route westward. It was clear,
will be by way of Omaha, Cheyenne
and Salt Lake City, to Boulder Can
yon dam in the Colorado river where
he probably will make a set speech.
Shortening Work Hours.
Asked about the order of Hopkins
shortening hours of work. Mr. Roose
velt said he knew nothing about it
and was leaving all of this to Hop
kins just now. Somewhat surprised
by an inquiry about the resignation
of Kennedy, Mr. Roosevelt said It
was so. but he had not had oppor
tunity to write a letter to Kennedy.
Asked by newspapermen If he
would attend their baseball contest
against the team of Lowell Thomas,
newsreel commentator, and K. C. Ho
gate, editor of the Wall Street Jour
nal, Mr. Roosevelt said he certainly
would try.
Visitors included three governors.
Brann of Maine. Green of Rhode Is
land and McNutt of Indiana. They
said they talked things In general.
John W. Studebaker of Iowa, the
commissioner of education, talked
over plans for providing "white col
lar". Jobs in making what he de
scribed as necessary surveys of school
ing. He pointed emphatically to the
large number of school districts and
suggested consolidations, lie believed
4,000 could be employed for a year
in these surveys at a cost of less
than 3 millions under the works
fund.
Coal Commission Named.
President Roosevelt named the fol
lowing commission to administer the
new Guffey coal stabilization act:
George E. Acret of California;
Charles S. Hosford, jr.. of Pennsyl
vania; Walter II. Maloney of Mis
souri; C. E. Smith of Fairmont, W.
Va., publisher, and Percy Tetlow, of
Columbus, O. The president bIbo
named the bituminous coal labor
board created by the new act. These
members are Lee Gunther of Tennes
see, to represent the producers; John
J. O'Leary of Pennsylvania, to repre
sent the employers, and John M. Paris
of Indiana to represent the public.
Advertising expense yields a far
bigger dividend than any form of
investment.
