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. Parr

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. Tree plant-

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

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.
