Special Program for
Women at Feeder's Day.
Farm women attending the twenty-fourth
annual Feeders Day at the
Nebraska College of Agriculture on
Friday, April 17, are not going to
be lorced to listen to talks about
horses, sheep and hogs. They will
have a program of their own.
Prof. H. J. Gramlich, chairman of
the animal husbandry department at
the college, this week announced
plans for the ladies' program. It will
be an all day session with Miss Mar
garet Fedde and Miss Mary-Ellen
Brown presiding.
Popular topics are listed for dis
cussion on the program. Most, how
ever, will relate to meats. Miss Edith
Carse, is to recommend practices in
caring for meat in the home. Mrs.
II. J. Gramlich is scheduled to ad
dress the group regarding what the
consumer wants to know about meat.
Dr. Rebekah Gibbons is to discuss
the use of meat in the reducing diet.
New ideas in meat cookery will be
presented by Miss Alice M. Child or
the University of Minnesota while a
round table discussion of the farm
meat problem will be led by Miss Ma
tilda Peters.
Other discussions are scheduled for
the day also. Miss Evelyn Metzger
is to speak about "Refurnishing the
Home." Miss Helen Reeder will pre
sent a demonstration in showing the
use of lard in cake baking. A panel
discussion, "Better Citizenship, Bet
ter Government," is another feature.
Mrs. W. LeRoy Davis, Mrs. J. E.
Miller, Mrs. William Fleming and
Mrs. John P. Senning are to take
part.
State Soil Conservation
Committee at Work.
The Nebraska state soil conserva
tion committee will be Fred Wallace,
Gibbon; Leroy K. Smith, Lamar; S.
K. Warrick, Scottsbluff; A. K. Ches
tem, Decatur; W. II. Brokaw, Lin
coln. This group will be responsible
for the new farm program in Ne
braska until such time as the legis-ika
lature accepts the state and federal
co-operative responsibility as pro
vided by act of congress.
This committee has been appoint-
ed by Secretary Wallace upon recom-
mendations made by individuals and
organizations within the state. Fred
Wallace, who operates a farm in the
Platte Valley between Gibbon and
Kearney, will serve as chairman of
the state committee. Leroy Smith has
been chairman of the state grain
board which had charge of the 1936
wheat program. He operates a large
farm in Chase county. S. K. Warrick
represents the sugar beet section of
the Platte Valley on the committee.
A. K. Chestem is a Burt county
farmer who has been alternate on
the corn-hog board of review and has
worked as a fieldman in northeastern
Nebraska lor the corn-hog program.
W. II. Brokaw Is director of the agri
cultural extension service and has
been active in administration work
of wheat, corn-hog and cugar beet
programs in Nebraska since 1932.
. The committee began its work
Monday of this week. One of its first
activities is to classify crops and
practices into soil conserving, soil
building, and soil depleting groups
so that Nebraska farmers will know
as soon as possible exactly what they
can do to qualify for grants to be
made under the soil conservation
program.
Accessory Ideas.
Well chosen accessories add charm
and variety to your outfits. In choos
ing shoes, bag, and gloves for your
suit or ensemble, here are a few sug
gestions: With blue or navy blue.
wear black, gray, navy or, blue,
your green suit or ensemble
For
brown, black, green, gray or chamois.
With your tan . . . brown or navy
blue. For black, choose black or
chamois. For your gray, get gray,
'black, brown or navy. Then bring in
a bright note through contrasting
hat since this is extremely good
fashion for 1936. Repeat the hat
color in a boutonniere, a hanky, a
bracelet or other small accessories.
Since colored gloves are a new
fashion note, perhaps you would like
to work out the idea of shoes and
bag to match your suit or ensemble,
with colored gloves to match hat,
boutonniers, or both. Again your
hat may also match your outfit with
a trim that ties in with boutonniere
and gloves. You really can get stun
ning results by working in these
color contrasts. White fabric gloves,
bought one-half size larger than
usual and boil-dyed turn out very
successfully. Of course, white gloves
are always cood, even though all
jour other accessories are in a dark
or bright color. The new white wash
able doeskins are a charm may be
"sudsed" out easily and add a fresh
white accent to your outfits at any
time of year.
In addition to the classic sport
felts, the youthful Breton, Chinese
shapes, and the more mannish hats,
we have loads and loads of both
tailored and feminine telts and
straws, covered with veils, flowers or
both this year. I like them! They
are gay, crisp, youthful, and add a
feminine touch to tailored outfits as
well as fitting in gracefully with
feminine clothes. The all-over face
veil are more suitable for older girls
and for women. TTTe use of veiling
tied jauntily on a hat as trim is good
for all ages. Flowers, of course,
bloom on the hats of young and old
alike , . . and may be removed or
changed from time to time . . . per
haps to match the boutonniere on
your suit, coat or frock.
Ed A. O'Neal to Visit Nebraska.
Edward A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Burau Federation,
will be the guest of Nebraska farm
ers April 15 and 16.
Mr. O'Neal will address a group of
farmers in the Sokol Hall at Wilber,
Wednesday, April 15th and another
group in the new city auditorium in
Wayne the following day. Both meet
ings will start at 1:30 in the after
noon. Farmers are coming from all parts
of Nebraska to meet the famous farm
leader.
Mr. O'Neal is a master farmer in
his home state of Alabama. He owns
and operates a 2C00 acre farm near
Florence, Alabama, and for years
has been nationally known as a fight
er for economic equality for agricul
ture. Few men in the United States
have received more praise from
friends and more condemnations from
enemies than has Ed O'Neal.
He is a dynamic and colorful speak
r. He is generally credited with hav
ing done more than any other one
man in America toward uniting the
thought of American farmers. Mr.
O'Neal does not avoid matters of con
troversial nature. He expresses him
self decisively and leaves no doubt
in his listeners' minds as to where
he stands.
Large crowds are expected to greet
him. He is being brought to Nebras-
under the auspices of the Nebras-
ka Farm Bureau Federation.
Suggestions for Summer Study.
After project club ends.
then
hat? Many of the project club mem-
bers feel that they are too busy to
do club work in the summer, how
ever, frequently clubs meet for a
social afternoon, and have requested
suggestions for study so the time can
be more profitaly spent.
There has been a list of circulars
prepared which clubs might use, se
lecting one circular for discussion for
each meeting. These circulars are
available for each member of the
club. Clubs do not need to enroll
for this work but may select and se
cure enough for two or three meet
ings during the summer. Groups in
terested in subjects for summer dis
cussion should write the Farm Bu
reau for form 560, which lists the
various possibilities.
County Sheep Producers Meet.
Cass county ranks first in the num
ber of farm flocks of sheep in east
ern Nebraska, according to W. W
Derrick, Extension Animal Husban
dry Specialist, who discussed flock
management at a meeting of sheep
growers of the county held at the
Farm Bureau office last week.
While the farm flock was usually
considered a side line enterprise,
there is a possibility of making it pay
larger returns if certain practices
were followed, Mr. Derrick said.
Some of these practices are: (1)
The lambs must be of good type. This
can only be done by using a good pure
bred ram of the short set thick type.
(2) The lambs mu3t be fat when sent
to market. This is only possible by
getting them started on ground feed
when they are about two weeks old
and then creep feeding them every
day until they are finished. (3)
Lambs should be finished and mar
keted at around 80 pounds. They
seem to finish better at about that
weight and it is also a desirable mar
ket weight.
"Nothing is as worthless on the
market as a thin native lamb," Mr.
Derrick emphasized.
Marshall Rose, president of Mid
west Wool Marketing Association,
explained the organization and some
of the many benefits wool producers
could obtain from patronizing their
own wool marketing agency.
Besides market price advantages,
the association can give the pro
ducers another very attractive ser
vice thi3 year. This is their grading
service. If the producers will num
ber or tag each sheep and its fleece,
when the report is returned the pro
ducers can tell eaxtcly which sheep
are shearing the best fleeces. This
is a big help in culling the flock.
The farmers were very enthused
about the meeting and asked for an
other to be held this fall.
4-H Club Activities.
4-H club members wishing to win
a trip to 4-11 Club Week through
the slogan contest have less than a
month in which to submit their slo
gans, i he -club member submitting
the best slogan on or before May 1,
1936, will be awarded a trip to Club
Week. The individual submitting the
1935 winning slogan wrote "4-H
Club Work is Measured in Dollars
and Common Sense."
Several new clubs have been or
ganized and others have made plans
for holding their organization meet
ings. Some of those already enrolled,
since the last report are:
Everlay Poultry Club, Robert Wall,
Eagle, leader.
Blue Ribbon Sheep Club, Cleo
Bergman, Eagle, leader.
Girls Room Club, Marjroie Zink,
Murdock, leader.
Rip & Stitch It Club, Mrs. A. II.
Ward, Murdock, leader.
Seedling Tree Dis
tribution Delayed.
Snow and cold weather have put
a crimp In the distribution or
Clarke-McNary seedlings and trans
plants for farm windbreak and wocd-
ot planting and as a result Cass coun
ty farmers will receive their trees
about one week later than earlier an
ticipated. Original plans called for
shipment of trees starting March 31.
Orders for evergreens to a few coun
ties were filled the first day but were
immediately stopped when adverse
weather set in. No broadleaf trees
were shipped last week.
Enter the Pasture Contest.
Cass county farmers have until
May 1 to enter the Nebraska 1936
pasture contest as the "deadline" for
accepting entries has been extended
from April 1 until that date.
Adverse weather conditions of past
weeks together with later develop
ments in the new farm program
which lends encouragement to farm
ers to improve their grazing land
were given as the reasons for the ex
tension of the time for accepting
entries.
Grass and Legume
Seed Plentiful.
Never before in the nation's his
tory have the available supplies of
seed of grasses and legumes In gen
eral been as large or the situation so
favorable for large increases in pas
ture and meadow crops, according to
a report of the Bureau of Agricul
tural Economics in the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Fairly large surpluses, in excess of
normal usage, are reported for or
chard grass, rye grass and meadow
fescue. The supply of brome grass
and crested wheat grass seed, adapt
ed to western and northwestern con
ditions, is greatly increased over last
year. Red Top, Sudan and Timothy
are approximately one-fourth the
price of last year.
650 Times More Soil Loss
When Rows Follow Slope.
A sloping plot of ground near
Ithaca, N. Y. planted last summer to
potatoes in rows up and down hill,
lost 650 times as much soil and 14
times as much water from July 7
to November 15 as two adjoining
plots planted to potatoes, oats, and
clover in strips across the slope. The
three plots at the Arnot erosion ex
periment station of the Soil Conser
vation service were each 21 feet
wide- and 311 feet long, with a slope
of 7 percent on the upper half and
15 percent on the lower.
The plot planted up and down the
slope lost almost 14 tons of soil per
acre and nearly 14 per cent of 18
inches of rainfall. The two trip plots
each lost 43 pounds of soil per acre.
The run-off was 1.1 percent on one
plot and only 0:35 percent on the
other.

Many Coming
to Conference
large Delegations cf Towns Officials
Expected To Hold Meeting
at the Cass Theatre.
So large is the response to the in
vitation sent out to city officials in
ninety-one towns comprising this re
gion to attend the conference here
on April 22nd, that it has become
apparent the auditorium of the pub
lic library will bo inadequate to ac
commodate the business session. As
a result, arrangements have been
made to hold this meeting in the
Cass theatre. Use of the theatre for
this purpose is made available to the i
city through courtesy of the Cham- j
ber of Commerce, which made the j
necessary arrangements with Manag-
er Westerlund.
This will provide much more room
and more comfortable seating
