Weather Conditions Pointing to a
Much Better Condition and
Helpful to Farmers.
Encouraged by improved moisture
conditions and prospects for con
tinued good prices for farm products,
farmers of this territory are taking
to the fields for their spring work
with more confidence than for sev
eral years, according to Everett
Spangler of Murray, secretary-treasurer
of the South Omaha Production
Credit Association.
Many are planning their entire
season's program in advance and ar
ranging with the PCA for financing
their operations until time to market
their products, he said.
Although prices of most commodi
ties have gene up, the price of farm
credit remains at record low levels,
Mr. Spangler declared. He pointed
out the South Omaha Production
Credit association is still making
leans at 5 per cent interest, payable
only for the time the money is u?ed.

Bureau Notes
Copv furnished from Office
of County Agent Wainscott
Cass County to Get
Rural Electrification.
Word has just been received from
II. II. Henningson, consulting en
gineer for the Eastern Nebraska Pub
lic Power District, that the Rural
Electrification Administration in
Washington has allotted four hun
dred and ninety thousand dollars for
the electrifying of western Cass
county and a portion of Saunders and
Otoe counties. This district starts
five miles west of Weeping Water
and extends to the Lancaster county
line.
Actual work on line construction
will start early this summer. The
remaining, or eastern portion of the
county is in project number three
and it also has been allotted an ap
propriation by the REA but will prob
ably be a little behind the western
portion in actual construction work.
Mr. Henningson said in a tele
phone conversation Saturday, "Mr.
Wainscott, you can tell the farmers
of Cass county that it is now a cer
tainty they will get electricity this
year."

Extension Specialist to
Hold Recreational School. .
"All together, work together, play
together," is a good motto to follow,
but in work and in play, come one
must act as leader and plan the pro
gram. To help these leaders witn
their problems when planning enter
tainment or recreation for large and
small groups, a recreational school
will be held in the county, Friday.
April 2nd. Ralph Copenhaver, spec
ialist in community organization,
which Includes particularly recrea
tional and program help, will con
duct the school.
Mr. Capenhaver plana to Include
party suggestions. group games,
paper and pencil games, singing
games, field day and picnic activities,
dramatics and hobbies in the day's
program. It is desirable that each
community in the county send two
delegates to this recreational school
to benefit by the information and
suggestions, which they are expected
to take back to their home commun
ity to assist in various organizations
with their activities. These delegates
might represent several organizations
such as the Farmers Union, church
groups, P.T.A., 4-II clubs, women's
project or study clubs, and other or
ganized groups.
In connection with the work1- on
hobbies, each delegate, if he or she
has a hobby, is invited to bring his
or her exhibit to the meeting and
tables will be provided on which
these will be placed. Mr. Copenhaver
will display several representative
exhibits.
Make plans now for delegates to
represent your community, then send
their names to the Farm Bcreau so
that more detailed information may
be sent to them.
t
One Mash for All Poultry.
The poultry department of the col
lege of agriculture has recently an
nounced an all-purpose mash for
poultry. After five years they find
that this formula is excellent for
starting chicks, growing pullets and
laying hens.
Since it is well known that a good
starting mash and a good laying
mash are essentially the same, the
only puzzling feature of the one mash
plan is its U3e as a growing maBh.
The solution to this Is so simple that
it really is no problem at all. As the
chicks grow older, simply increase
the scratch grain. As scratch grain
is increased mash consumption is de
creased and thus the protein concen
tration of the ration is reduced. The
difference between a starting and
growing mash is that the former con
tains more protein. When chicks are
put on range at eight to ten weeks
of age, they have free access to both
grain and mash which are fed in
open, sanitary hoppers. When used
for broilers, no grain at all is fed if
skim milk is given in place of water,
rapid growth can be had.
It has been especially interesting
to note the records of hens in the
laying contest of the flock testing
project at the substation compare
favorably w ith the records of hens In
the country's leading egg laying con
tests. The records of these hens and
the fact that they have had the same
kind of mash mixture since they were
day old chicks convince us that this
is a practical way of simplifying the
poultry feeding program.
All-purpose Mash Formula 8-S for
Chicks, Poults and Hens:
bellow cornmeal 210
Shorts 200
Bran 100
Pulverized Oats or Barley 100
Alfalfa Meal (No. 1 quality) 100
Meat scraps 50
Fish Meal 50
Dried Buttermilk 50
Pulverized limestone or softed
oyster shells . 20
Fine Salt 10
Cod liver oil or other suitable
fish oil 10
1000
This mash can be mixed for about
$2.10 per 100 pounds depending on
the quantities purchased. Its sim
pllcity and usefulness to all classes
of poultry have done much to simplify
the poultry feeding problem.

More 4-H Clubs Organize.
With enrollment of approximately
100 active members and 25 associate
members, Cass county 4-H clubs are
off to a good start for the year. Three
more clubs have been organized the
past week, as follows:
Blue Ribbon Sheep club, Merton
Norris, leader.
Nehawka Pig club, Malcolm Pol
lard, leader.
Blue Ribbon Baby Beef club,
James Schafer, leader.
The Early Bird Poultry club of
which Oren Raymond Pollard is lead
er, and Mrs. Hall Pollard, assistant
leader, met for their first regular
meeting March 16th. Mrs. R. E. Nor
ris, county chairman of 4-H work,
was present and talked to the club.
Having been a very successful poul
try club leader for several years, as
well as one of the outstanding poul
try growers in the state, Mrs. Norris
was able to give them many helpful
suggstions for conducting their club
and caring for their poultry.
The time is here now for the or
ganization of Farm Account clubs.
The International Harvester company
is again offering some ' attractive
prizes to winners of their Farm Ac
count contest. To be eligible for this
contest, records should run for a con
tinuous year, starting between Jan
uary 1 and March 1, 1937. Bona
fide 4-H club members do not have
to be enrolled in a farm account club
to be eligible. For example, a pig
club member might be eligible pro
viding he keeps an actual farm record
and conforms to all other rules of
the contest. If there are any boys
and girls interesttd in geeping re
cords of their fathers' farms, we will
e glad to endoll them in clubs and
help them in getting their books
started.
In order to get the most out of the
-H year, clubs should be organized
early. Write now for application
blanks if vou are interested in a club
for your community. It takes only
five boys or girls, between the ages
of ten and twenty years, with a local
eader in charge, to form a standard
4-H club. Further information is
available at the Farm Bureau office.
lant an Adequate Garden.
An important item in the farm and
homemaking schedule this spring is
the planting of an adequate vege
table garden. A well planned and
cared for vegetable garden will re- j
duce family living costs and will
make for better health. In addition
to producing fresh vegetables for use
during the summer it should provide
"anned food for winter use.
An adequate garden which will
meet all the need3 of the farm family
is not planned nor planted haphaz
ardly. The size and location are im
portant and then too, proper plan
ning should be done before planting
the ground so as to use a small area
to the best advantage by planting
the early garden so the ground can
be re-planted to garden vegetables
which will mature in late summer
and early fall.
An area 100 feet by 150 feet should
take care of the needs of a family of
five. This does not provide for suffi
cient potatoes or navy beans for the
farm family, but it is better to plant
potatoes in an area apart from the
vegetable garden. Soince moisture
plays such an important part in the
success of the vegetable garden lo
cate it where it can be irrigated. Pro
tect it against hot, south winds, with
a grove, an orchard, a set of build
ings or a hill. If there is higher
ground adjoining, distribute the run
off water thru the garden. An ideal
arrangement would be to have the
garden located near well or other
supply of water that could be de
pended upon to thoroughly soak the
garden about once a week.
For vegetables like tomatoes, egg
plant and celery, which require a
long growing season, a hotbed or
cold frame may be used in getting
them started. Extension Circular
1208, The Home Garden Hotbed,
gives Information and suggestions for
soil preparation, transplanting, care
of the garden, insect control, plant
ing table for vegetable gardens, and
also a list of vegetables adapted to
Nebraska conditions. Both of these
circulara are available upon request

Social Life on
Homestead
Recreational Program is Arranged!
for Use on the Seven Reset
tlement Farmsteads.
"To promote the social life of the
130 families living on our eight Re
settlement farmsteads, a diversified
recreation program, has been de
ised," J. C. Russell, in charge of
the Management Division of Region
Seven, announced.
Although only two of the projects
had community buildings, arrange
ments were worked out by the farm
eteaders themselves for meetings,
parties, clubs and various education
al projects. Last July the only farm
steads having community buildings
w dre Grand Island and Falls City.
During the past year a warehouse
0.1 the Scottsbluff project has been
converted into a community build
ing, with a stage for programs and
a kitchen so that refreshments can
be prepared and served. At Two
Rivers a machine shed was con
structed from unused material and
a part of this partitioned off for use
as a commodity building. The farm
steaders did all the work themselves
at both places. Loup City, South
Sioux City and Kearney are still
using tne nonies ol tue clients ior
meetings.
While farmstead residents have
taken the initiative on all recreation
steps they have been assisted by
members of the regional Manage
ment staff through personal contact.)

After an j editorial appearing in
the "Farmstead News" suggested
small libraries and their manage
ment would serve as a worthwhile
4-H project the South Sioux City
t-H club started activities along
that line. They started with a trav
eling library from the State Library
Commission and a reading room is
now located in the office building.

the co-operation of various County

An arrangement with the WPA !
-late Recreational Supervisor has,
nde services of WPA's trained rec
tation personnel available to most
f Resettlement's farmsteads. As a
-esult of this arrangement a recrea
tion committee has been organized
it Fairbury and is responsible for
ill activities along that line. They
have recently established a model
boat and airplane building clas3. At
Scottsbluff plans are under way for
a "community night."
At Kearney, when four new fam-;
ilies moved onto the project, a wel
coming party was held at one of the
homes and thirty-five men, women
tnd children participated in a pro- j
gram of songs, talks and games. J
One project has a literary club,
another a "Help One Another" group
which helps members when there is
illness in the family. Dances, quilt
ing parties, stunt nights, song fests
ml card club3 are even -.a on all
projects.
Through a National Youth Admin
istration project the son of one of
the clients at Fairbury is making
benches and tables for the commun
ity building and a farmstead girl is
ataloguing and classifying books
and taking care of the project li
brary. She conducts a story hour
for children between the ages ot
three and thirteen.
"These efforts will build a perma
nent, satisfactory and wholesome
community life," Russel stated. "A
variety of activities that appeal to
old and young will do much to make
our clients happy and contented and
will bring out the leadership and in
activity of the individuals.V
Neighbors of the farmsteaders are
included in almost all the social
functions promoted by the projects.
VILLAGE DOCTOR 50 YEARS
McCool, Neb.. Dr. Frank S. Mor
ris has been practicing medicine in
this village for 50 years. On March
21 observed the 50th anniversary of
his location here in what was then
a prairie town without railroads or
telephones.
Dr. Morris located here after his
graduation from the medical college
of Indiana on March 2, 1887. When
he decided to establish his practice

a team of ponies. With the ponies or
his bicycle he made professional calls
in preautomoblie days.
Dr. Morris received many con
gratulatory messages from friends on
the occasion of his 50th anniversary.
He is still an active practitioner.

PUNCTUAL SWALLOWS
For 161 years the swallows of the
moldering old Mission San Juan
Capistrano, near Los Angeles, have
returned on time. The flock of birds
have shown up with clocklike
schedule on March 19, St. Joseph's
day.
Fcir generations the swallows have
remained all summer and fluttered
away again on October 23, San Juan
day, to streak in again the next year
as sure as death and taxes.
Curiously, press photographers
never have been able to get a picture
of the swallows' arrival and depar
ture. They seem camera-shy and al
though lensmen have haunted the
mission for years the birds always
have outwitted them. The Literary
