"Mothers and Grandmothers and then we others." Such will be the motto of the day on Sunday, May 10th when Mothers Day will be ob served everywhere. Many schools, churches and clubs will pay special tribute to mothers on this day and preceding days. If you wish some suggestions for appropriate program material, write for Extension Cir cular 54S entitled Mothers' Day program. Use Water Sparingly When Cooking; Greens. To cook greens properly any kind of greens use very little water and do not cook them long. Usually no water is needed except that which clings to the leaves after washing. Cook fhem only until they are wilted, stirring occasionally and do not put a lid on the kettle. They will lose vita min value if cooked too long, and they will lose their green color if cooked nnder cover. Serve with a seasoning of lemon juice or vinegar, salt and. pepper, or with salt pork or , 'acon fat. City people must depend on the market for their source of greens. We, here in the farming country, may find our greens in our own back yard. The common dandelion, tur nip top, beet top, purslane, and the pig-weed or red-root are all familiar plants and should be utilized as they add valuable vitamins to the diet. 4-H tlubs Organize.

Soil losses due to erosion may con tinue to cost many farmers more than taxes but not Henry Debuhr who left hi3 wooden shoes in a baker's shop in Holland 30 years ago to become one of Nebraska's leading farmers. Debuhr, who was one of the first farmers in Johnson county to sign a co-operative agreement with the Soil Conservation Service camp at Tecum seh, is now using erosion control methods of farming on every one of his 100 acres. "Muddy water doesn't look so good," says Debuhr, who has wit nessed the reclamation of land from the North Sea by means of dykes. "That's why I "build terraces and farm on the contour." This farmer is using strip crop ping on both terraced and unterraced fields. On the more gentle slopes he ; finds strip cropping without terraces to be effective in controlling erosion. "See that pasture?" Debuhr asked, pointing to a 14-acre sloping field covered with terraces without grade. "That's my entry in the Nebraska Pasture Contest. It's seeded to brome grass and sweet clover and no water ever gets off it." Gullies on the Debuhr farm have diversion ditches above them and trees planted in them. Concrete structures are located In strategic points to prevent erosion and grass is widely used to keep the small gul lies small. Home Eeautification Contest for 1936. A Home Beautification contest for 1936, sponsored by the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, has for its purpose "Improving the Entrance from the Public Highway to Our Own Door." The contest is on the improve ment you make upon your driveway from now until October 31, 1936. To enter the contest send a postal to the Nebraska Farm Bureau Feder ation, 1134 P street, Lincoln, stating your intention to enter the contest. It is important to take a picture of the driveway before any improvement has been made. A second picture should be taken about the middle of Hybrid Corn for Husking Contests. County champion cornhuskers will have an opportunity this fall to try their skill in hybrid cornfields. Five fields large enough to accommodate the state cornhusking contest are be ing planned in Nebraska, and one of these fields will be selected this fall for the state contest. These fields range in size from 50 to 70 acres and it is hoped that exceptional yields will be obtained so that a new state cornhusking record may be hung up this fall. These fields are being plant ed to Iowedlth Hybrid corn, furnish ed to these farmers free of charge by the Sioux City Seed company, Sioux City, Iowa, through the co-operation of The Nebraska Farmer. The five fields selected are as fol lows: Nemaha county, Snyder Bros. farm, 3 miles east of Auburn; Wash ington county, Mace Warrick farm. Committee Attends Appraisal School. The county soil conservation com mittee together with the agent, at tended a district meeting at Lincoln Wednesday, April 29, when instruc tions were given on appraisals and work sheets. Following this meeting will be one in the county for all committeemen and work will soon start in the precincts. Some Highlights of Feeders Day. Some ot the highlights of Annual Feeders Day at the College of Agri culture, April 17th, that was attend ed by 1500 people were: That cot tonseed cake Is 74 as valuable as tankage, pound for pound, as a sup plement to ensilage in feeding steer calves. This is indicated by the fact that the two supplements give re sults in relation to the amount of protein in them. Cottonseed meal has 75 as much protein in it as does tankage. This means that when cottonseed meal is selling for less than 75 as much as tankage it is a good buy or vice versa. Soybean cubes made from soybean meal containing 37 protein, proved to be 93 the value of cotonseed meal, which run 43 to 44 protein. The steers that were fed the cubes showed a little more bloom than those fed soybean meal and were ap praised a little higher. The cubes proved to be very palatable. This gives feeders another product avail able with cottonseed meal and tank age as a protein supplement. Grainless ensilage made 75 as much gains as where the ensilage contained 30 bushels of corn per acre. Other tests have proven that corn in the ensilage replaced corn fed in the trough. Some people have contended that corn in the ensilage is wasted. These trilas have proven that whether it is in the ensilage or shelled and in the trough the gains are the same. On the basis of the buying power of the public, caftle of the U. S. are now within 3 of the absorption point, sheep are at that point now and hogs will be in another 18 months. If livestock numbers go be yond this point lower prices are in evitable. One possible solution might be by more strict federal control of govern ment range areas. 45 of the sheep of the U. S. are produced on federal areas and 15 of the cattle. These cattle are grazed on these areas at a charge of 13c per head per month, and sheep at 3c per head per month. These low charges for federal grazing areas are conducive to greater numbers of livestock. These numbers could be controlled by rais ing the rates and restricting the numbers. Thl3 would cut the number of livestock down and also preserve the government range areas. The great expansion of tractors has caused a more complex problem. One tractor replaces six head of horses. One horse consumes the crops grown from 4.3 acres of land. The 1935 horse and mule population is 6 million less than the five year average. 6 million horses and mules times 4.3 acres is equal to 28 million acres. This is about the num ber of acres the government is try ing to get out of grain production by the Soil Conservation Act. Out of 14 years experiments at the Kansas State Agricultural Col lege in cattle feeding, corn and alfalfa brought 45 more than the feed would have brought if sold at the elevator. The returns when fed to cattle were $12.75 per ton for hay and $4.46 per ton for ensilage. Two of the 12 years they were less.
