legislative Committee At
tends Gas Tax Exemption.
The legislative committee of- the
county Farm Bureau joined with rep
resentatives from eighteen other
runty Farm Bureaus to present the
larnirrs' side of the gasoline exemp
tion bill which was up for hearing
I t fore the Revenue Committee last
Thursday.
This bill provides for gasolineax
exemption for gas used in tractors,
stationary engines and stoves. Thy
taring brought out the fact that
every adjoining state to Nebraska
has gas tax exemption on farm ma
chinery. Nebraska fanners are forc
Cd to use a low grade motor fuel of
vhieh there are no standards by law,
in order to compete with neighbor
ing state farmers who use gasoline.
This bill would not decrease the
f.ns tax revenue for the state, bin
would allow farmers to switch from
a low grade fuel to gasoline which
v ould add greatly to the efficiency
of farm motors.

Feed Cost May Determine
Trofit in Poultry
J. R. Redditt, poultry specialist
from the College of Agriculture, told
a group of poultry producers at Ne-
hawlia last week that the price paid
for poultry feed in 1937 will be the
main factor in determining the profit
or loss.
Mr. Redditt pointed out that the
university poultry department has
recently announced an all-purpose
tmash that can be fed to baby chicks.
growing pullets and laying hens.
.This ration has been highly success
ful at the poultry department for
t five years.
j This complete formula can be mix
j ed for about ?2.40 per hundred,
when mixed in quantities of one ton
j cr more at a time.
1 Ur. Redditt -eautioned poultrymen
to not over-buy on baby chicks be
cause the first cost is lower than
1 usual this season. Every one should
I do a little figuring on what feed re
j Quiremc nts it will take to produce
! a chick to broiler age or a pullet to
j maturity. When it takes about 25
i pcur.ds of feed to produce a pullet
to maturity, farmers tan easily fig
ure what this pullet will be worth
next fall if they know what their
feed will cost.
Salmon Heals Fit Purse
j In stretching the family food dol
jlar the homemaker is always on the
j bx k-cut for a protein main dish that
I is delicious, nutritious and within
the food budget. Salmon meets these

j Canned salmon contains many of
I the food essentials necessary to good
liu trition. It is a good body builder
jand provides food energy because of
jits high percentage of fat. Indispen

Feeders' Day. v
Slightly improved moisture condi
tions which may make it possible
for Cass county farmers to produce
seme small grain early for livestock
feed, coupled with the need for
using corn substittites until the crop
can be harvested is causing great in
terest in Feeders' Day to be held at
Lincoln on Friday. April 16. The
meeting takes place at the College
of Agriculture. Farm women are to
have their own programs through
out the day. There they will hear
everything from meat cutting to a
discussion of the recent Inaugural
i ceremonies.

Wool Market Prospects

homa, Missouri and Arkansas, re
ports that the wool market looks the
best it has for a long time.
Mr. Ross was at the Farm Bureau
office last week explaining the new
warehouse facilities the organization
had just established at Kansas City.
This organization has handled about
three and one-half million pounds
cf wool annually for a number of
years.
"Wool prices ' show that in only
five of the last thirty years has wool
been higher in April and May than
it has in September, October, No
vember and December. If farmers
want to get all their wool is worth,
they can sell to the co-operative and
get about SO per cent of the price
being offered by local buyers as an
advance price and then get the bene
fit of the season's advance in wool
prices when a final settlement is
made next winter," Mr. Ross said.
Farmers who sold their wool for
25c last year could have received
about 25c on a final settlement thru
their own marketing agency.
Pasture Contest Deadline
Extended
With more interest being mani
fested recently in improving pasture
land and evidence that farmers are
desirous of studying the grass prob
lem, the deadline for entering the
third annual statewide pasture im
provement contest was extended this
week until May 1. Previously the
date for final entry was April 15.
Elvin F. Frolik, assistant exten
sion agronomist at the College cl
Agriculture, in charge of the con
test has notified the Agricultural
Agent's office of the change. Five
Cass county farmers have already
entered and it is hoped that this
number will increase to many more
before May 1.
"It is possible to arrange four
fields planted to temporary pasture
crops so as to have pasture through
out the season if the rainfall is at
all normal," Frolik advises in im
proving pastures. "An excellent com
bination of this type is winter rye i
fr-r early spring pasture, this fol
lowed later by second year sueet
cbiver where such fields are avail
able. Spring seeded sweet clover and
sudan grass then grows as annual
pasture crops. The price of sudan
grass is relatively low this season
and few crops exceed the ability cf
.sudan grass to grow during the hot.
dry part of the year."
Where permanent killed-out pas
tures are on land which can be cul
tivated, Frolik suggests it good man
agement to put such land under cul
tivation and to seed down fields
which have been cropped for a num
ber of years. Where the land now
in permanent pastures is not suit
able for cropping, then an effort !
must be made to re-establish the
grasses.
Unless some seeding
in is
dene, it is likely to take many sca
lenus of unprofitable returns to put
such grasslands into a satisfactory
condition.
Feeding pasture grasses on old
pastures without some preparation
ordinarily is a wasie of seed. Ob
servations of the 1035 and 193 6 pas
ture contest showed best results
Si' izred where injured pasture lands
are disked severely, harrowed thor
oughly, seeded to a satisfactory mix
ture for the particular conditions in
volved, with no grazing of the field
for at least the first half of the
season.
Mothers' and Arbor Day

April 22 and May 9 are red letter
days on the calendar they are set
aside for observance of Arbor Day
and Mothers" Day. ' Arbor Day has
been celebrated in Nebraska with
enthusiasm from its very beginning
to the present day, on April 22nd,

"Frophylactics" in the Drug
Stores of State.
If there is any doubt about the uni-
cameral legislature entering upon
heretofore "unmarked trails it will be
dispelled by a study cf bill 435, pass
ed unanimously and signed by Gov
ernor Cochran. The bill has been
guardedly referred to by the press
merely as a bill to regulate and li
cense prophylactics.
The bill carried the emergency
clause and therefore was in effect
bright and early Sunday morning,
having been signed by the governor
Saturday. Under the bill persons oven
IS will be able to go into drug stores
and buy a prophylactic. This used
to mean a preventive of most any
kind of disease, but the bill defines a
prophylactic: "Any device, appliance,
or medicinal agent used in the pre-
vention of venereal disease."
The bill sets out that it was pass
ed "in the interest of public health
and welfare." While the bill dwells

pigs and farm production, but they
were not going to stand idly by and
see the IS year olders prevented from
buying prophylactics, even if they
could not buy intoxicants. So bill
435 was passed and no ouestions
raised as to what moral effect itj

Expert Declares April is the Ideal
Month to Purchase Baby Chicks
Planting season for the
majority
of farm crops is at hand. April is
an ideal month to plant next sea
son's nullet croi) if it has not been
done earlier. Er producing
breeds
of chickens require five to six months
to develop from chick to laying
stac:e. April hatc hed chicks will lay
in September cr October when egg
prices are approaching the season's
high peak.
The present relation between feed
prices and the egg market has dis
couraged the "in and outer." About
2 5 per cent less chicks have been
sold this season as compared to last.
Poultry leaders and government rep
resentative:s predict higher egg prices
this fall and winter. It's logical to
expect a much improved income
from egg production because:
(I) The size of laying flocks is
below the post-war five-year aver
age. ( 2 ) Chick sales are far below
normal this spring. It is apparent
the egg supply will be materially
reduced. (3) General egg consump
tion - is greater than that of last
year. (4) Frozen egg holdings are
low, and egg packers and breakers
started storing and breaking a month
earlier than test season, despite the
IcUt prices arc higher than a year
