Chosen State Heme
Economics Champion.
Frances Rehmeier, Weei)ing Wa
ter, has just been chosen 4-II State
Home Economics Champion which
will entitle her to a trip to Chicago
to rliend the National 4-H Club Con
tvrops the first week in December.
This will also entitle her to compete
with other state champions in Home
Economics for the national $400
scholarship given by . Montgomery
Ward : Co.
Frances has been enrolled In 4-H
clubs since 1929, coming back year
after year with renewed efforts to
"make the best better." During the
seven years she has been enrolled as
a 4-H club member she has com
pleted 31 projects, having been a
member of clothing, cocking, swine,
baby beef, dairy, girls room, poultry,
kcep-v.ell and rope clubs. Her 4-H
Scrap Book contains Interesting pic
tures, newspaper clippings and re
cords cf her many prize winning gar
ments, as well as champion poultry,
pigs and baby beeves.
In her story of 4-K activities, Fran
ces says, "Since I was first enrolled
in 4- Hclubs in 1929 I have found
that each year has been filled with
immeasurable benefits such a3 inia
tive, responsibility and self confi
dence as well as financial gain.
Through my 4-H clothing awards I
have received enough money to pay,
except for 52.33, for all of the gar
ments which I have made. I have
learned to make my clothes more be
coming, to buy better materials, and
to be better dressed than if I had
purchased my clothes ready made."
Nine pages were used to record her
winnings in clothing, cooking, girls
room, poultry, swine, dairy and baby
beef at state and county fairs, and
at Ak-Sar-Ben, since she first became
an exhibitor in 1929.

and entertainment furnished by mem
bers of the CCC camp. A tour of the
CCC camp and a field trip will be in
cluded in the afternoon program.
The CCC camp in co-operation with
the landowners is making rapid pro
gress in erosion control in this area.
The work is under the direct super
vision of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice of the United States Department
of Agriculture, and all features of
the program, recommended by the
technical staff are the results of many
years of experimentation by this de
partment. The camp personnel is
willing to discuss and help work out
an erosion control program on any
farm in the community. Since each
individual farm presents a different
problem, no set practice can be fol
lowed. Some of the projects now under
construction are the Ezra Neben
farm, Murdock; Lester Wagoner
farm, Cedar Creek; Otto Mogensen
farm. Weeping Water; Paul Swan
farm, Union, and the Albert Siemers
farm, Otoe. The public i3 invited to
visit and Inspect any of the projects
at any time.
A Guide for Wise Spending.
When a mother feels discouraged
over trying to make the food money
stretch to include all she feels her
family needs, why not consider how
helpful a weekly food record is? A
budget of course, cannot make more
money out of what she already has,
but it makes possible a careful study
cf "leak3," so that more careful plan
ning and wise purchases may enable
her to give the family better meals.
Keeping an account may sound for
bidding, but it is really very easy,
and takes, very little time if pur
chases are recorded soon after they
are made. The rules are these:
1. Record all food purchased for
one week, continuing the records for
at least a month; put the amount of
each found, and its cost, in the right
departments shown below:
(a) Milk, cheese.
(b) Vegetables, fruits.
(c) Bread, flour, rice, cereals, mac
aroni.
(d) Meat, fish, eggs.
(e) Fats, sugar and food acces
sories.
2. At the end of each week, add
up the total amount spent for food
and find . onsixth g. U... Tiien , add
the total for each group, and com
pare with the Guide for Wise Spend
ing, which follows:
1. Milk, cheese, about 26.
2. Vegetables, fruit, about 16.
3. Bread, cereals, cerial products,
about 16.
4. Eggs, meat, fish, about 16.
5. Fats, sugar, accessories, about
16.
Variations of 10 to 20 cents above
or below the "one-sixth" need not be
considered seriously. Wider varia
tions, however, are a warning to in
clude in next week's plan more money
for milk, and perhaps less for fats
and sugars, according to the differ
ences in each particular case.
Even Horses Believe in
"Contour Farming."
Even horses are "sold" on contour
farming as recommended by the Soil
Conservation Service for controlling
utcr erosion. A Wisconsin farmer
writes that the horses find working
on the contour "easier." It does away
with dragging heavy implemnts up
and down hill.
Contour farming also does away
with rows of cultivated crops run
ning up and down hill their open
furrows an invitation to. the little tor
rents that are likely to eat big gullies
eventually and, in any event, carry
off tons of topsoil.
Contour farming leaves furrows
nearly level at right angles to the
slope of the land each furrow a
tiny terrace holding rainfall until It
Is absorbed into the soil, or forcing
it to creep away rather than running
wild downhill. This Wisconsin farm
er finds the idea of working "on the
contour rather odd at first, but you
get accustomed to it."
He likes terracing and strip crop
ping to retard runoff. The terraces,
he reports, "aren't as bad as they
look." And the strip crops long,
narrow plots of grass or hay sand
wiched in between long culticated
fields, all on the contour have made
him "wonder" if he shouldn't have
"more permanent pasture" on corn
land which always washes badly.
Grain Sorghums.
Farmers in the southern half of
Nebraska might well plant ten to
fifteen per cent of their corn acreage
to early varieties of grain sorghums
as a safeguard against dry years.
That's the conclusion reached by P.
H. Stewart and D. L. Cross, extension
agronomists at the Nebraska college
of agriculture, after holding meet
ings and checking yields of ten to
fifteen sorghum varieties in 25 out-

state co-operative tests. The results,
comparable to those of other years
in co-operative tests with the col
lege of agriculture, demonstrated
that in years of drcuthw here corn
practically fails, the earliest grain
sorghum varieties have made yields
of from 15 to as high as 30 bushels
per acre.
Early Kalo showed up particularly
well this year, chiefiy because of its
earliness. Mid-season and late va
rieties in the southern half of the
state have the most part failed to
mature where to the north and east
they have matured in many cases.
The Early Kalo matures in approxi
mately 90 days while Kalo takes from
10 to 15 days longer. The Greeley
variety also matures in 90 to 95 days.
Hegari, planted to large acreages
last spring when other seeds were
scarce, has not proven satisfactory
due to its late maturity. Few, if any,
fields produced mature grain. This
variety" produces a" very leafy and
palatable stalk, however, and should
make good dry roughage, the agron
omists say. Most growers have had
difficulty though in harvesting He
gari because the stalk is apparently
very tough near the base.
Coss County Committee
on Farm Debt Problems.
"New life is being Instilled Into
the government's efforts to help end
the tragic story of farm foreclosure,"
Mr. L. R. Leonard, field man for the
regional Farm Debt Adjustment of
fice at Lincoln, Nebraska, said during
his recent visit to Cass county.
This work has been transferred
from the Farm Credit Administration,
according to Mr. Leonard. Since
1933, groups of unselfish citizens
have been working without pay in
their own counties all over the na
tion in en effort to bring debtor and
creditor together in a friendly at
mosphere where they may see each
others problems and work out a vol
untary agreement benefiting both
parties.
A part, at least, of the travel and
other expenses incurred by these com
mittees is now to be met out of the
funds recently set aside from the
Works Appropriation, for debt con
ciliation throughout the nation.
The committee for Cass county is
composed of the following: Henry
Meierjurgen, Murdock; E. H. Spang
ler, Plattsmouth and J. W. Menden
hall, Weeping Water. "Any depress
ed farm debtor or any creditor who
desires help in reaching a satisfac
tory adjustment of mortgages or
other debts is invited to call on any
member of this, committee," Mr.
Leonard said.
Local and district rehabilitation
supervisors will be responsible for
assisting these county committees in
working out satisfactory adjustments,
and field men from the regional debt
conciliation office, will, in turn, give
advice and assistance both to the
committees and to the rehabilitation
supervisors.
