J. .t....t..;...;,;..;..; Reminiscences of 1936. When we review some of the ac tivities of the Farm Bureau in 1936 v.e find that this organization's nine teenth year of service has been the greatest of all. Not only farmers, but townspeople have come to recog nize the county farm bureau as the greatest seivice organization to rural people that is within the county. The emergency problems of 1934 and 193 6, such as drouth, grasshop pers, food and feed shortage, seed corn shortage, inadequate farm in adequate farm income, etc. have all found the Farm Bureau ready and willing to help. During the past year there has been more than ten thousand per sonal office calls. This is an average of more than thirty per days for the days thTJ office was open. The office has also issued more than 45,000 let ters and 20,000 bulletins. In summarzing the activities of the Farm Bureau and Extension Service within the county, records show there have been 1119 meetings held with 17,534 people present. This is posi tive evidence of the value of the edu cational program of the Farm Bu reau. With the coming of a new year and with hoves for the return of a normal rainfall, the county Farm Bureau is again ready and willing to face the problems whatever the year may bring. Plan New Farm Program. Preliminary plans indicate that county conservation associations will hold reorganization meetings in Jan uary to start off the 1937 agricul tural conservation program. Claude R. Wickard, director of the north central region, was in Lincoln last week conferring with AAA field men and district extension supervisors and helping them line up the pro gram for this state. A district con ference was held at Lincoln, Monday, December 2Sth, when the Cass coun ty committee and agent received the offical information and material for starting the work in this county. The following calendar of events, with approximate dates, will show the trend of the organization work for the new program: January 11-25 County board of directors meeting. January 20-Febr. 10 Community meetings and elections. January 20-Febr. 2S Adjustment of bases, establishment of corn limits, etc. Febr. 15-April 30 Filing of state ments of intentions, appraisal of carrying capacity of grass land. March 15-May 10 Setting up of field standards for fallow, strip crop ping, tree planting, etc. May 1-20 First inspection re ports. June 15-July 10 Second inspec tion reports. July 1-Oct. 1 Final check of per formance. Wickard said the 1937 program is so devised that all farmers, no mat-, ter how small their farms may be will have the opportunity to benefit by the plan. The 1937 goal is to achieve a better balance between those crops that conserve the soil's fertility and those that deplete or eventually destroy it a balance that will maintain and improve the na tion's agricultural plant. Of particular interest was Wick ard's announcement that farmers who will not have their usual acreages of soil conserving crops in the spring of 1937 because of the 1936 drouth will be permitted to substitute forage crops for the soil conserving crops which they lost. The principal payments in 1937 will be made as this year for re placing crops which deplete the soil with those that restore its fertility. The payments, Wickard said, for this replacement will vary from the aver age of about $8 per acre for Nebras ka as soil productivity varies through the state, counties and on individual .-41 i ' gill o)Uft u Mother heed the urgsnt ad vice of doctors and hospitals; do as they do; give your baby a daily body-rub with the an ti septic oil that chases away germs, a nd keeps the skin SAFE.

The maximum acreage to which these payments will apply will be 15 per cent of the usual acreage of soil depleting crops. Organized Agriculture. Farmers and farm women from all sections of Nebraska will "rub shoul ers" and exchange experiences at the University of Nebraska college of agriculture next week at the annual Organized Agriculture meetings. The sessions, which will probably be at tended by many Cass county people, open Monday and close late Thurs day. Two big general sessions are plan ned. Dr. O. B. Jesness, Minnesota economist, is to address the Tuesday convocation. Dan Stephens, Fre mont; Miss Barbara Van Heulen of Washington; M. P. Jarnagin, Uni versity of Georgia; all appear on the Thursday general program along with the Nebraska band and the Hall county rural farm womens' chorus. There will be fun for all at the big family fun feed rcheduled for Wednesday evening, January 6. Skits will be presented by the college of agriculture students. Some of the other highlights of tbe program are: Crop Growrs: Meet Tuesday and Wednesday. Unusual program. Possi b'lity of long-range weather fore casting discussed.

No one questions the importance of good food habits for children, but what about adults? All too often they feel there is little necessity for having regular meals, and when there are no children in the family, well-planned ones seem entirely too much work. The right or wrong food makes as much differences in the pep and energy of adults a3 of children. The "maintenance" of health for adults requires essentially the same food ele ments as the "building" of health during childhood. No better plan for the meals of a family, regard less of its make-up, can be found than that of using generously the two groups of foods: milk and its products; and fruits and vegetables. MSaaSSSSaBBHaHaBHBiaMBBSaSSSSSBMIBaBPVBHHBVaHBSSSBaSSS If meals are planned around these foods, other articles can be chosen largely according to personal taste and the amount of food allowance. Eorers Destroy Trees. As interest in spring tree plant ing quickened this week and farmers made application for Clarke-McNary seedlings and transplants, the Cass to the damage done trees this year countj farm bureau called attention and in past years by insects and other pests. Tree borers have been more numer ous and consequently more destruc tive than in a great many years. Weather conditions and the weaken ing of trees by intense heat and lack of soi'. moisture have made them very susceptible to the attack of tree borers. During 1935 there was an unusually heavy infestation of red spider and they weakened the trees also. Foresters believe that many Amer ican elms which have died in such large numbers would have survived had it not been for the presence of the fiat-headed apple tree borer. Methods of controlling the borer and a description of its life history, ap pearance and habits are described in Extension Circular 1510 which is available at the Farm Bureau office. Farmers are thinking about such control measures as they make appli cation for the Clarke-McNary trees through the same office. Last year a total of 16,600 trees were distributed locally for farm windbreaks and woodlots. Thus far this year appli cations have been made for 4000 trees. Molasses Good Swine Feed. That Cass county rarmers feeding molasses to their swine during the present feed emergency apparently do not need to fear the possibilities of that feed producing "soft pork" was indicated in a recent prelimin ary meat experimental test conduct ed at the Nebraska college of agri culture. The results are most import. ant to all farmers. Prof. Wm. J. Loeffel of the animal husbandry department who conduct ed the tests says that the pork was exceedingly firm. The fat was white and hard. He believed the meat to be on a "par" with pork fed the standard ration during normal feed ing conditions. Cooking tests and experiments to make chemical determinations now are being conducted at the college of agriculture with sheep, cattle and swine fed molasses in an effort to gather more accurate and vital in formation for farmers throughout the state. The results will be watched with interest. Cass county has no bended In debtedness, as, like the state, we have paid cash for our hard sur faced roads and other improve ments as we went.
