Changes Made in Soil
Conservation Program. i
Word lias been received at the
county office that three major
chpnges have been made in the 1936
soil conservation program. The de
tails have not been received, how
ever they indicate that the changes
v.-ill permit the haresting oE oats for
hay and the ground seeded this fall;
also the planting of forage crops pre
ceding a seeding for 1937. Word will
be sent to committees and producers
as soon as the details are received.
A district conference of all the
agricultural agents, county commit
teemen, and Farm Bureau presidents
in this district was held in Lincoln
Thursday of this week to discuss im
portant issues in the conservation
program. Handling of expense ac
counts, procedure and practices to
follow in checking compliance, new
rules and regulations, way and means
of improving the program in general
and looking forward to a future pro
gram are included in the topics
taken up.
Send in Applications for Camp.
4-H club members planning to at
tend district 4-H club camp, July 26
to 29, are again reminded that their
applications, together with the camp
fee, must reach this office by Thurs
day, July 23rd to be eligible to at
tend. Application blanks may be ob
tained from your club leader.
Home Account Sum
maries Tell Story.
When Cass county home record
keepers received their 1935 sum
maries they found that 36 percent of
the total, living value was furnished
by the farm, in goods and services.
This 4 percent increase over that vt
1934 occurred principally in the food
item.
The following facts taken from the
1935 figures of the 251 books sum
marized show why some women find
record keeping worthwhile and in
teresting: An increase of 69 in food from
the farm for 1935 over that of 1934
may be attributed to an increase in
value of meat products used, some
increase in price of other farm prod
ucts, and better growing conditions
for gardens.
Shelter valuation has remained
about the same.
The average value of fuel con
tributed by the farm over a period
of five years shows a range of from
$17 to $24 with an average of $21
per year. (
The increase of $22 in purchased
food over that of 1934 is a 12 per
cent increase.
Clothing shows only a slight in
crease. Many replacements are need
ed and will be secured as cash is
available.
The increase of nearly one-third
over 193 4 in operating expenditures
is probably due to the purchase of
fuel during the cold winter and the
needed replacement of household fur
nishings and equipment.
Transportation is less than for
1934. This may be due partly to a
more accurate division with farm re
cords and partly to the fact that a
few of the books in this summary
included the winter months of Jan
uary and Sebruary of 193 G when ex
treme weather conditions made travel
impossible.
Development shows a slight in
crease which varies according to
family needs in health and education
al erpenditures.
Soil Conserving Payment Rates.
The average rate of soil conserving
payments for Cass county under the
1936 federal farm program is $11.30
per acre, according to word received
at the office of the county conser
vation association. The announce
ment means the farm program has
moved another step ahead.
Although the average county rate
was announced, the rate for each
farm will depend upon the produc
tivity of the land on the farm and
may vary considerably from the av
erage rate for the county. Some
farms will probably receive higher
rates due to greater productivity.
Others may receive lower rates.
The county average payment ap
plies only to the diversion of acreage
to soil conserving crops or uses from
the general soil-depleting crops such
as corn, oats, wheat and barley. The
maximum acreage upon which farm
ers can receive soil conserving pay
ments (also known as Class I pay
ments) is 15 per cent of the general
soil-depleting base acreage establish
ed for the farm. These payments are
distinct from soil building payments
which will be made to co-operating
farmers who follow approved soil
building practices on their farms.
Producers may qualify for one or
both.
In most cases the soil conserving
rate for an individual farm will be
established by comparing the ap
praised yield of that crop for the en
tire county. In every case, only the
crop or crops were used which ac
curately indicate the productivity of
the farm as compared with other
farms in the county.
As an example, suppose corn is the
principal soil depleting crop on the
farm and the appraised normal yield
of corn for the farm is 36 bushels
per acre. Then suppose that the nor
mal average yield for the county is
40 bushels an acre. The productiv
ity would be 3640, which is the
same as 90 per cent. The rate of the
soil conserving payment for the farm
then would be 90 per cent of the
county rate or $10.17.
bees. In addition she poisoned
gophers and rats, and trapped mice
-each being detrimental by carry
ing disease germs and destroying
plant life and eating grains. She de
stroyed sparrow nests, and welcomed
beneficial birds.
Poison Bran Not Dangerous.
With the grasshopper "war" in
its height and farmers using poison
bran mash as ammunition against the
pests, there is no important danger
of pasturing livestock on such areas
where the bait has been spread prop
erly. Experimental work and Prof.
M. II. Swenk of the University of
Nebraska college of agriculture were
quoted as authorities for the state
ment.
In past years numerous rumors
floated around indicating the bait
properly spread was dangerous to
poultry and domestic animals. In
vestigation showed that where some
poisoning actually did occur, it was
found with poultry fed on unspread
masses of the bait or on lumps or
chunks of it and not on bait properly
spread.
At the Oklahoma station a bait
made up of the regular formula was
scattered evenly in pens at the rate
of 50 to 100 pounds to the acre two
and one-half times the regular maxi
mum rate of spreading in the field.
Chickens having no feed for 24 hours
were placed in the pens. No fatal
cases of poisoning arose. The test
was repeated with bait containing
four times the regular amount of
white arsenic. Still there was no
fatal poisoning.
The accuracy of the experiment
was tested further. Grasshoppers
placed in cages were poisoned with
both white arsenic and sodium arsen
ite. These poisoned dead hoppers
were fed to chickens of various breeds
from small chicks up to fully grown
fowls. Some were fed on a diet of
poisoned grasshoppers and water
alone for 10 days. Others were fed
on varying rations for different pe
riods. In no instance did a fatal case
of poisoning occur. These experi
ments, says Professor Swenk, fully
justify the assertion that there is no
danger of any kind to poultry from
poisoned bran bait that has been
spread properly or from dead grass
hoppers that have been killed by eat
ing the bait.
4-H Conservation Contribution.
Anxious to join in the conservation
movement, Nebraska 4-H club boys
and girls now anxiously await the
second annual statewide wild-life
conservation camp to be held at Sew
ard, August 1S-21. Prize trips will
go to 40 cluv members and 10 local
leaders, selected for their outstand
ing contributions in preserving wild
life. Cass county club members are
competing for the trips. Those sub
mitting reports thus far are: Marie
Anderson and Virginia Pollar of Ne
hawka. Reports of the activities of 4-H
club people in the project must be
filed at the state club office at the
agricultural college by July 15. Win
ners will be announced July 20.
That 4-H clubbers are doing some
thing worthwhile in conserving wild
life is shown by the record of Iris
Mae Kremke of Pierce county. This
girl provided feed for birds. Flowers

Sudan Grass Poisoning.
Farmers that are turning into their
sudan grass pastures should use ex
treme caution. Many losses have been
reported in the county and through
out the state, from cattle and horses
being turned on sudan after it had
reached considerable growth. It
seems that the losses might be at
tributed to 2 or 3 things, the dry
weather having stunted the sudan
which leaves it containing some prus
sic acid poisoning which causes al
most instant death to livestock if
taken in very large quantities. Or a
mixture of some of the sorgo-sudan
hybrids scattered throughout the
field. Authorities seem to not be at
all sure which of the two above
things are causing the death loss,
however the loss is occurring and
caution should be used regardless of
the cause.
About the only safe method of de
ciding whether or not sudan is poi
sonous is to turn one of the least
desirable animals on the farm on it
for 3 or 4 days. If they survive the
trial then it may be safe to turn In
the entire herd.
Bindweed Eradication.
Further evidence that bindweed
infestation is becoming more and
more serious in Nebraska was noted
this week in the report that fin an
cial concerns now are "holding out
from $50 to $500 per loan on a quar
ter section of land where the weed
is prevalent. Widespread infestation
reduces the loan and appraisal value
That it is possible to conquer the
weed by various means has been
amply demonstrated by farmers, farm
organizations and others. Last year
H. Paul Cook, agricultural agent in
Hamilton county, and the Farm Bu
reau there put on about $2,000 worth
of sodium chlorate on a concern s
farms in that county.
The sodium chlorate, dry form
was applied at the rate of from 3,
to 4 pounds per square rod in the
fall months Just before the ground
froze. Cook late rinspected the land
and found numberous 100 per cent
"kills." Only on small areas were
there scattered infestations remain
ing. It was too dry this past spring
to repeat the chemical treatment but
it will be put on this fall.
Other Nebrasqa people have used
the chemical with good success on
small patches of land. Clean cultl
vation is recommended by the college
of agriculture as a more practical
means of eradication on large acre
ages. When infestation covers a wide
area, the cost of using chemicals be
comes almost excessive amounting
to about $50 to $65 per acre.
