Win Trips to 4-H Wild
Life Conservation Camp.
Marie Anderson, Virginia Pollard,
and Evelyn Wolph, all of Nehawka,
will attend the 4-H Wild Life Con
servation camp at Seward, Nebraska,
August IS to 21, with all expenses
paid. Marie and Virginia were award
ed their trips as county winners in
the annual contest, while Miss Wolph
was one of the leaders at large se
lected for a prize trip because of her
work with 4-H club members in feed
ing and protecting birds, growing
wild flowers and assisting them in
various other projects. All three are
to be congratulated on their fine work
as word from the state 4-H club of
fice reveals that their reports were
quite outstanding.

Check, re-check and double-check re

average of 10,000 bindweed seed per
bushel were being threshed and put
iuto circulation.

to know how long it would take

the above combination of materials

Feed Conservation Important.
Time to Organize Women's
Project Clubs.
It is time now for women interest
ed in belonging to project clubs dur
ing the year 1936-37, to organize for
the work. This includes the election
of a president, two project leaders, a
social leader, and secretary, and a
news reporter if one is desired. Agree
ment blanks must be filed with the
Home Agent by August 15th.
This year's work will include two
lessons on home beautification, two
on foods and one entitled, "When We
Go Shopping," which is a study of
consumer problems and more thought
ful buying.
The first training meeting of the
year, which will be held the latter
part of September or the first of Oc
tober ,is entitled "The Important Job
of Homemaking," and will be attend
ed by the presidents, social leaders
and secretaries of the clubs, rather
than the project leaders who will not
be asked in until the second training
meeting. The purpose of this is to
give special help to the club officers
for their important task of carrying
on the club meetings.
Demonstration Practice Day.
Tuesday, August 4th, will oe de
voted to giving special assistance to
4-H demonstration teams. Miss Mary
Runnalls and M. L. Lawritson, of the
College of Agriculture, will be at the
Farm Bureau office from 10 o'clock
on to hear the teams and to offer com
ments for improving the demonstra
tions. All teams wishing to help with
their demonstration should plan to
be at the office by 10 o'clock, with
all the equipment they will need, and
prepared to give a practice demon
stration. It is a good plan for all teams to
be present to watch the work of other
teams and to hear the comments made
by the specialists. Other club mem
bers will also benefit by watching
these demonstrations.
Cass County Women
Will Be Pern "Co-Eds."
Those who attended the county
achievement program of Cass County
Women's project clubs, in May, will
remember the announcement made by
Mrs. Lawrence Meisinger, county
president of the Women's Federated
clubs, relative to the Summer Insti
tute, which is scheduled to be held
August 5 and 6 at the Peru State
Teachers College. Copies of the ten
tative program have been received at
the Farm Bureau office and it prom
ises some very worthwhile sessions.
Cass county women are invited to
become Peru Co-eds for the two days
of play and study.
Mrs. Inice Dunning, uean of wom
en, is director of the institute Rooms
at the dormitory will be furnished
free to guests, but breakfast, lunch
eons and picnic will be served at
popular prices. Reservations for
rooms should be made by club presi
dents for their respective club mem
bers and any other women of their
community, by August 1st if pos
sible. !
The theme of the institute is "Edu
cation for Better Living," and the
personnel of the Institute faculty will
be selected from the regular college
faculty. Music, art, recreation, dra
matics, round table and panel discus
sions, are included in the program.
Registration fee for the two-day ses
sion is $1.00. For further informa
tion write the Farm Bureau office.
With the 1936 drouth playing
havoc with what appeared to be
earlier a potential "bumper" corn
crop, Cass county farmers have turn
ed their attention to conserving the
damaged corn by use of the, trench
and upright silos. It will mean feed
for livestock now and later in the
year.
Throughout the state the feed con
servation campaign Is gaining mo
mentum with farm experience, and
experimental work proving beyond
doubt the value of silage. - Some farm
ers who filled large trenches last year
when forage was relatively plentiful
now have feed stored beneath the
ground and do not face an acute feed
situation.
Experimental tests at the Univer
sity college of agriculture in past
years prove that it pays to conserve
the short corn. Several silos there
were nlled with silage made irom
earless corn in 1934 which stood
about 3 feet high and yielded around
1 ton to the acre. The silage proved
to be surprisingly good. Judging re
suits obtained by those of previous
years where similar trials were con
ducted with ensilage made from good
corn. Results showed that ensilage
made from immature earless corn has
a relatively high feeding value and
in periods of emergency can be de
pended upon to constitute a consider
able part of the ration for fattening
heifers.
The trench silo Is regarded as the
most economical means for storing
this drouth-Injured corn. One can be
constructed for little or no cash out
lay and rapidly. Ensilage from the
trench comes out in good condition
and with but little spoilage. '
Some farmers wanting to conserve
the roughage are wondering about
using something other than field cut
ters. This can be done by a binder,
Ctfrn can be cut and put into the silo
in bundle form lengthwise. They
should be packed tightly against the
walls. Even a mower can be utilized.
The question of watering corn
when put into the silo has come up
in Cass county also. Experimental
results show this is not necessary
where the corn is fairly green. Sil
age does not need to stay in the
trench for a period of time before it
can be used. Often at the agricul
tural college in Lincoln feeding is
started from one end of the silo be
fore the other end is entirely filled.
Ordinarily though it is better to let
it stand a week or ten days before
opening it.
Where cane is put into the silo, the
silage should be allowed to stand at
least two weeks before it is fed to
eliminate all possibility of poison.
No danger should be experienced af
ter that time. Drouth-damaged corn
possesses no danger of prussic acid
poisoning though.
Extension Circulars are on file
which tell more about trench silos
and silage feedings. They are Cir
cular 713 and Circular 241.

A very unusual thing has happen

Beauty Pageant. The block from 5th

say that not a single business house
or professional man has failed to take
a sponsorship for these young ladies.

For a husband, the chances of be
coming widowed have diminished
since 1920. The chances of a hus
band, of equal age with his wife, be
coming widowed were about 45 in
100 according to the 1929-1931 mor
tality, as against about 48 in 100 ac
cording to the 1920 mortality.
Where a man is 5 years older than
his wife the chances of his becoming
a widower are 35 in 100; if 10 years
older, the chances are 27 in 100; if
15 years older the chances decrease
to 20, while if he Is 25 years older
his chances of becoming a widower
are slightly more than 10 in 100.
Mark Kerns, who has been the di
rector of the employment of WPA in
this district, was up from Nebraska
City today, the first time in twelve
weeks, to look over the situation and
the recently completed WPA project
in this city. Mr. Kerns is just re

ation and last Thursday was the first
time he has been able to be at his
office In Nebraska City, then for only
a short time.
Denver. 'Storms which brought
near flood conditions to the Arkansas
river in southern Colorado left two
persons dead. Mrs. W. A. Greathouse,
wife of a Baca county commissioner,
was killed when the roof of a garage,
torn loose by the wind, fell on her.
The accident occurred near Walsh,
Colo.
William Reilly, power company
employe, was killed at Rocky Ford
when a rain soaked power line, dam
aged by the storm, dropped from a
pole and struck him. The line car
ried 13,000 volts of electricity.
The Arkansas river was running
near bank full as a result of heavy
rains on the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains. Residents of the
valley had been warned of flood dan
gers. Rain, averaging from a frac
tion to more than an inch iell gen

tho most early crops were beyond aid,
due to the long dry period, farmers
said the moisture would aid them in
producing feed crops.
