THUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1936. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SEVEN t Cass County Farm Bureau Notes Cory furnished from Office of County Agent Wainscott T r Triennial Conference Asso ciated Women of World. With increasing interest shown on the part of Nebraska farm women in the forthcoming Triennial Conference of Associated Country Women of the World to be held soon in Washing ton, a delegation to that gathering from the Cornhusker state was as sured this week. Traveling by bus, the Nebraska delegation will probably number about thirty women from all parts of the state. Miss Mary-Ellen Brown, in charge of home demonstration work in Nebraska, is making the ten tative plans for the trip east. Cass county women have been invited to attend. An assembly of some 1,500 rural women representing more than 70 nationally organized associations in over 40 nations of the world will con vene under one room in the confer ence lor a study of their mutual problems. Simple clothes will be the order of the convention, even for its more elaborate occasions. No woman can say, "I would have gone to that con ference, if I could have afforded the new clothes necessary for the trip." The stress of the gathering of coun try women will be upon ideas and not upon clothes. That interest in foreign countries in the convention is running high is indicated n the fact that names of delegates from 16 countres had been received by the middle of March in Washington. These countries in cluded Australia, New Zealand, Cay Ion and three sections of Africa. Dele gates will come from every province o Canada and thirty delegates are already registered from England. Seed Corn Problem "Becomes More Acute. The nearer corn planting time conies, the more farmers there seems to be looking for seed. Many have found in the last few days that their early picked corn will not grow. Some corn, picked last fall and kept in the furnace room has a low germination. Others have purchased seed and found that it will not grow. The seller of this seed may be absolutely innocent that he is selling poor seed, either because he did not test it or because he took a sample from the top or edge of the crib and it had a good germination and so he assumed it would grow. The only safe position now on seed corn is to be sure what you have will stand up under a test whether you grew it or purchased it. Over 240,000 Trees Planted in Cass County in 1936. Just how many trees have been planted in Cass county this year is rot known but records are available to show that the CCC camp has plant ed 225,000 on the various farms they are working on and farmers ordered 17,000 of the Clarke-McNary seed lings. Besides this, undoubtedly many people purchased trees from various sources and planted them.

Garner and John Henry Kirby, millionaire lumberman and chairman of the Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution- Young of Nehawka, planted over 13 hundred on his farm. Mr. Young has replaced the old winbreak which was killed by the 1934 drouth and the severe cold last winter. These old boxelder, cottonwood, and maples, are being replaced with Chinese elm, American elm, Austrian pine and hatkberry. Hackberry has proven to be one of the most drouth resistant trees of the broadleaf varieties. It is about the only tree that stood the drouth of 1934 in Mr. Young's old gTove. This, without a doubt is the record breaking year for tree planting in Cass county. Win Trips to 1936 4-H Club Week. Six Cass county 4-H club members are assured of a trip to the 1936 -H Club Week in Lincoln. June 1 to 6. These trips have been awarded them as a result of outstanding work in 4-H projects during 1935. Bertha Horner and Clara Senf of Nehawka will go as guests of the Crete Mills, Lois Giles trip is donated by Lever Bros., Thelma Ward's trip is given by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, and John Ahrens of Weeping Water will be the guest of the Omaha Union Stock Yards. Edith Senf, who was the county cooking club champion has also been awarded a trip to Club Week. Club Week is open to any 4-H club member cr leader who care to at tend and pay the registration fee of $8.00. Application blanks and other ihform.tion are available at the Farm Bureau office to any one interested in attending. Chilson. School Has Windbreak. A three-row windbreak composed of Russian olive, Chinese elm, and Austrian pine, was planted on the Chilson school grounds, 3 miles north and one east of Weeping Water on Highway No. 1. The trees were planted by the CCC boys after the ground was prepared by Oscar Domingo, school director. The trees were furnished by the State Nurserymen's Association for demonstration school ground plant ings. Chilson school was picked by the Extension Service for one of the few demonstration plantings in the state. Three rows of trees will be plant ed on the; north and west with the rows 10 feet apart. The trees in the outside row will be Russian olive, planted S feet apart. The center row will be Chinese elm3, planted ten feet apart and inside row Austrian pines, planted 12 feet apart. It is hoped that the demonstration will be an incentive for other schools to do something in the way of wind break and tree planting.

State Bank Bldg. w II f John Henry to John Nanem My Dear John : How long are you going to tolerate that apostasy of the Roosevelt administration to the cardinal principles of the Demo cratic party and its notorious con tempt for the plain terai3 of the Constitution? Your friend, John Henry Kirby John Nanem to John Henry Dear John Henry: Your favor just called to my attention. You can't do everything you want to, and I can't do half what I would like to do. You don't control everybody you would like to, and I am in a similar fix. I think that answers your ques tion. Sincerely, Jno. N. Garner. H ing seems to run with every other generation. Grandfather planted the old wood lots in the county, father enjoyed them and had the wcod and protection they offered, but did not do anything to replace them. Now they are about gone and the son is faced with the problem of replacing them and going on for ten years or so without a grove or windbreak, until one grows up. School ground plantings should stimulate interest and love for trees in children's minds as well as the minds of the school directors and par ents. Corn Planting Intentions. That Nebraska farmers may plant an excessive acreage of corn in 1936 is foreseen in official estimates re cently announced by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The re port says farmers intend to plant 15 per cent more acreage to corn this ear than was harvested in 1935. Farmers have said they intend to plant S, 993, 000 acres to corn this fear. This compares with 7.S20.000 acres in 1935 and 6,676,000 in 1934. The average for the period, 1928 1932 was 9,803,000. The letter acre age contributed to the break in the market price for the farm products. That the increase in planting in tentions for the country as a whole is less than in Nebraska is also ob served in the report. Farmers thru out the country intend to plant 6.5 per cent more acres to corn than there was in 1935. Spraying Tine Soon. It won't be very long till spraying time. The weather is an important factor in the success or lack of suc cess of a spray schedule. But let's not blame everything on the weather. Prompt, thorough coverage of all parts of the tree and fruit are essen tials to successful control of pests. Successful growers are all agreed on this point whereas they differ in their opinions of various spray ma terials. Apples: Scab was present in most orchards last year in sufficient quan tity to provide overwintering spores in large numbers. It develops in cool wet weather, affects leaves, fruits and stems very severely in some years. Spray when tho buds show pink and after the flower stems have be gun to separate, using lime sulfur solution 4 or 5 quarts to 50 gallons of water or 3 or 4 pounds of dry lime sulfur to 50 gallons of water. This spray will check red spider, if the trunks and branches are thoroughly covered. If early leaf eating worms (like spring canker worm) were pres ent last year, include one pound of lead arsenate per 50. These same recommendations hoi dfor pears. Zouie growers feel that this cluster bud spray can be omitted safely 4 out of 5 years. True enough in a dry season but dangerous in a wet one. If you are sure which it will be, act accordingly. If not, tetter insure by spraying. Delicious, Wintsap and Elack Twig are particularly suscept ible to scab. Don't fail to spray these. Cherries and plums: When the petals have dropped, spray with 1 gallons lime sulfur and 1 pounds lead arsenate to 50 gallons of water. The lime sulfur is for leaf spot (also called shot hole fungus) the lead ar senate for curculio and cherry slug. Peaches can be passed up this season in most parts of the state. But where the trees are alive, they should be given dormant spray for peach leaf Not Agree V 4' curl using 22 gallons of lime sulfur to 0 gallons of water. Black Raspberries should be spray ed immediately for anthracnose, using 1 gallon of lime sulful to 8 of water. Just before the blooms open, use lime sulfur 1 gallon to 0 of water. Second Apple Spray: When 4 of the petals have fallen, spray again with lead arsenate lVz to 50 and a fungacide. This is the most tender age of the young apple. Russeting may occur on tender varieties like Jonathan, Golden Delicious or Grime3 if strcng Bordeaux or lime sulfur are used. If the weather is cool, lime sulful 1 gallon to 50 may be used with safety or 3 pounds of dry lime sulfur. Some growers are afraid of these caustic sprays and are planning on reducing the lime sulfur to gallon and IY2 to 2 pounds of wet table sulful to 50 gallons. If the season is cool and wet (favorable for scab) better use lime sulfur since it is much more efficient in scab con trol than are the weaker sulfurs. C1IAHA FIRM IS LOW BIDDER Columbus, Neb.
