Camp on Field Tour.
Between 40 and 50 Cass county
farmers attended the field tour, spon
sored by the Cass County Farm Bu
reau and the Soil Conservation Ser
vice, showing methods of soil and
moisture conservation, last Friday.
Practically every phase of the work
was shown on the five farms visited,
giving a good cross section of the
work being carried on in this vicin
ity. Terracing, contour farming, and
strip cropping were shown and ex
plained as means of sheet erosion
control, while temporary and per
manent dams, tree planting and grass
seeding are being used for gully con
trol. It was clearly demonstrated
why each phase of the work must
be practiced in order to effectively
combat erosion and conserve mois
ture. D. L. Gross, extension agronomist,
University of Nebraska, gave a short
talk on the program as it is being
carried on in the state. "It isn't so
much that we conserve the soil just
for ourselves, but we must think of
future generations. Will this land be
in as good shape and as productive
50 years from now as it was when
we started on it?" said Gross. He
also mentioned some experiments that
have been carried on at experiment
stations in regard to contour farm
ing. "In one field, corn that was
listed on the contour yielded 23 bush
els per acre more than an adjoining
field that was listed up and down the
hill," he said.
At present the camp is working
on 22 farms in Cass and Otoe coun
ties and farmers are invited to in
spect the different projects and be
come familiar with the different
methods of control being used.
Farm Women Keep Check
On Family Expenditures.
That Cass county farm women keep
an "eagle eye" on the family pocket
book when it comes to expenditures
for the home i3 vividly shown in
the summary of the 1935 home ac
count project which has Just been
completed. It shows anaverage "liv
ing value" of $1,465.65 for the past
year.
Results of the account project spon
sored by the Cass County Farm Bu
reau through the co-operation of the
Nebraska Agricultural College exten
sion service were announced this
week by the home demonstration
agent. Last year a total of 12 women
kept the books. This year 32 women
have checked out the books.
Into the home account book last
year the women recorded the expen
diture of every penny for the house
hold. Farm produce used on the
Kitchen table was even avaluated
and charged against the home. The
use of the car for family purposes
was included. Life insurance, gifts,
clothing, educational and shelter
costs, together with the other expen
ditures were carefully put down In
the book.
The "average" living value of Sl,
465.65 for Cass county was slightly
above the state average of $1,157.
However, expenditures ranged from
$3,382.85 for one family down to
$759.47 for another. The final fig
ures show that the average family of
3.9 individuals in this project put
511S.5S into savings, most of which
went Into life insurance. This family
purchased a total of $201.34 worth of
food during the year in Cass county
towns. They used on an average of
$239.93 worth of farm produce on
the table.
Even clothing bought for the fam
ily was entered on the accounts. Fath
er's clothing cost averaged $27.87.
For the mother it was $55.59 while
for the other members of the family
a total of $57.63 was expended.
Family use of the automobile cost
$70.13. An average of $56.68 went
for medical bills and health.
The cost of maintaining the home
in the form of rent was also com
puted. This was 9 percent of the
valuation to take care of deprecia
tion, interest, insurance and taxes. In
the average family a total of $279.94
was charged up to this item.
The Home Account books and sum
maries will be returned to co-operators
the first of July at which time
a series of meetings, for explaining
the home products value guide, and
answering questions that the various
record keepers may have, will be
held.
reports received at the state club of
fice at the college of agriculture by
July 15 on conservation activities
from various counties. Cass county
is eligible to submit the reports of
one boy, one girl and one leader for
consileration. The reports cover ac
tivities from July 1, 1935 to June 30,
1936.
Soil Conservation Time Extended.
Cass county farmers were inform
ed this week that an extension of
time for the completion of first oper
ations in getting land into soil con
serving practices has been made from
June 15 to July 1. The new ruling,
announced from Washington, will be
of major benefit to the Agricultural
Conservation program here.
Extending the date will allow the
Cass county conservation association
more time to complete their Initial
office work and make it possible for
some farmers to know their soil de
pleting base by July 1. Most good
farmers, however, have already start
ed their soil conserving practices as
a matter of good farming methods.
Land, under the ruling, is to be
in soil conserving uses by July 1 If
it is to qualify for grants under the
federal farm program. This means
the first operation of summer fallow
ing and of eradicating bad perennial
weeds is to be completed by that
date. Turning under crops for green
manure purposes to qualify is also to
be completed by then. Land not de
voted to soil conserving by July 1
will be lermed soil depleting.
The new ruling also Indicates that
July 1 is the "deadline" for change
in , owner-operator of farms. Those
purchasing land after that date will
not be eligible to receive grants of
money on that land.
4-H Conservation Camp.
Some Cass county 4-H club boy or
girl may be fortunate enough to win
a prize trip to the second annual
statewide conservation camp sched
uled to be held at Seward in August.
Ten leaders and 40 club members
from the state will have their regis
tration fees and transportation to the
camp paid.
Trip awards will be based upon
Bindweed Experiments Started.
Cass county farmers will be inter
ested in knowing that some compre
hensive experiments dealing with all
phases of bindweed eradication are
now being started by the University
of Nebraska college of agriculture
near York in an effort to determine
the best practices in getting rid of
this pest. The tests on a 10 acre plot
will be continued for several years.
Louis Evans, Kansas State gradu
ate, has been placed in charge of the
bindweed experimental plots. There
he will conduct experiments in show
ing the influence of clean cultivation,
use of sodium chlorates and com
petition crops on eradication. All
variations of such methods will be
under close study.. Chemists will be
put on at various dates, cultivation
will be done at different times and
early and late vlanting of competi
tive crops will be made.
The results of the extensive ex
periments will be of value to Cass
county farmers who are Interested
in knowing about the latest and most
successful methods of eradication.
Much eradication will be done this
summer by farmers In cooperating
with the Agricultural Conservation
program.
fore 3 p. m. however. Application
blanks and information have been
sent 4-H club leaders, and club
members should obtain their blanks
from them.
MONUMENT FOR DR. YOUNG
4-H Club Camp Next Month.
How nice it would be if all the
boys and girls enrolled in 4-H clubs
might attend the 4-H district club
camp, to be held at Brewster, one
mile south of Omaha, on July 26, 27,
28 and 29. Unfortunately however,
Brewster cannot accommodate all of
them at once and the first 75 from
Cass county to send their applica
tions will be privileged to attend.
The remainder of the boys and girls
attending the camp will be members
from TJtoe, Sarpy and Douglas coun
ties. Boys and girls wishing to attend
the camp might easily earn their own
camp fee of $3.25 if they start sav
ing their nickels and dimes now.
What fun It will be for them to romp
and play with the other boys and
girls, or with equal zest to take part
in the handcraft periods, or adverse
ly, just to loll and rest on the thick
grassy lawns dotted with beautiful
nig shade trees scattered over the ex
clusive 75 acre camp. Swimming in
an outdoor pool and plenty of time
for their favorite sports such as ten
nis, volley ball, kittenball, ping pong,
etc., help round out a four day pro
gram from sun-up to "lights out."
Camp is not open until after sup
per Sunday evening, July 26. Any
campers who come before evening
must bring a picnic lunch. Parents
and friends are welcome to attend
the evening program. Campers and
their families are not to arrive be-

age of 58.

of the Masonic order discovered the
grave marker bearing the square and
qompass emblem in a forgotten ceme
tery five miles southwest of Nehawka.
Immediately an attempt was made by
lodge members to clear the site. After
weeds and debris were removed about
20 graves were discovered. A monu
ment was erected for the doctor by
Masons from Nehawka and Dunbar
and dedicated Sunday afternoon.

munity. Varro Tyler of Nebraska

ka City, C. E. Stimbert of Nehawka,
and Robert McKissick of Dunbar.
