LINCOLN, Neb. As conditions
continue to improve there are more
jobs available for University students,
reported University officials this
week. They point out that even last
year, when the institution had a re
cord breaking enrollment, there was
a slight percentage increase in stu
dent employment with about ZT per
cent of the men and 34 per cent of
the women employed.
The average cash earnings of stu
dents, either wholly or partially self-
I supporting, have been a little larger
! during the past year than the pre
vious year, officials reported, also re-;
porting that students wholly self-!
supporting have spent less and earned
more. Since business has absorbed
many employees who during the
worst of the depression were unem
ployed and ready to take part-time
employment, the opportunity for stu
dents to get employment in Lincoln
this fall apparently has improved.
It was also pointed out that a goodly
number of the employed students
were having at least two jobs.
It is expected that the National
Youth Administration will continue
to provide funds for student employ
ment for next year as has been in
effect for the past several years. Un
der this government aid program,
if continued on the same basis as last
year students will earn from ?10 to
$20 a month while attending the Uni
versity of Nebraska during 19 37-3 S.
If this program is authorized, recip
ients of this government aid will be
selected on a basis of scholarship and
need, the same as the past several
years.
Apart from the federal National
Youth Administration, college pro
gram, students worked for business
concerns, a limited number held Uni-
Jar for women, followed closely by
housoork. Among the other more
popular types of student jobs as part
time work In the various University
offices, work as salesmen, laborers,
readers, musicians, and service sta
tion attendants. Some of the miscel
laneous jobs included interior decor
ating, electrician's helper, watch re
pairing, window displaying, truck
ing, photography, hospital service,
landscaping, cashier, nursing, car
tooning, telephone operator, and
teaching.
Men students who were employed
during the first semsster of last year
earned an average of $101.60 and
women earned an average of $SC05.
The earnings ranged from very nom
inal sums to as high as $C50 for the
period. The average student who
j worked for his meals secured all 21
meals a week by that method.
QUINS ARE IMPROVING
CALLANDER, Ont., Aug. 14 (UP)
The Dionne quintuplets probably
will be together again tomorrow when
Cecile, slower than the others in re
covering from a sore throat, was ex
pected to rejoin her sisters in their
public appearances.
Only four of the famous five have
appeared on the verandas of the Da
foe nursery yesterday after about 4,
000 tourists gathered despite a light
rain and begged Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe
to let them see the girls who had
been in seclusion almost a week after
developing sore throats.
Dr. Dafoe finally permitted Yvonne,
Annette, Emilie and Marie to play on
the verandas for a few minutes. The
four girls wore raincoats and repeat
edly waved and threw kisses while
the crowd cheered.
Cecile was reported today to be
"much better."

LINCOLN, Neb., Aufe. 12 (UP)
Soaking rains and relief from recent
high temperatures will do much to
save Nebraska corn in fields not al
ready damaged by recovery, the Ne
braska co-operative crop and live
stock reporting service announced
today.
"The final outcome
crop is very uncertain.
of the corn
said the re -
port, which was based on conditions
of Aug. 1.
A. V. Nordcjuist, assistant state
and federal agricultural statistician,
who prepared the bulletin, pointed
out that the condition of corn de -
clined from SI per cent on July 1 to
71 per cent on Aug. 1. and slumped
since the first of the month due tot
extreme heat and deficient sub-soil
moisture.
"Corn is also firing in some east-
ern
ton
counties, particularly in Hanil-
York and Polk," he said. "Some
corn already is being cut for fodder
in parts of central and south-central
Nebraska."
The report said hail damage was
considerably above normal and said
that even in areas where corn had
made fair progress and showed little
damage from heat, the percentage of
barren stalks was noticeably larger
than usual.
Indicated corn production on Aug.
1 was 179.334.000 bushels a drop
of 17,496.000 bushels since the July
1 forecast but more than six times
larger than the estimate of 27,627,
000 bushels on Aug. 1 last year.
Winter wheat furnishes a brighter
picture. Production, according to
the Aug. 1 forecast of 46.306.000
bushels, is the largest since 1931 and
the average yield of 14.2 bushels per
acre is the greatest since that time
with the exception of last year's aver
age ct lo.o nusneis.
More wheat was sown this year
than ever before although the har
vested acreage did not set a record
because of large abandonment. Har
vested acreage this year was esti
mated at 3,261,000 acres compared
with 2.93S.000 acres in 1936.
Estimated winter wheat produc
tion jumped nearly four million
bushels from the July 1 estimate of
42.393,000 bushels which Nordquist:
ascribed to less damage from black j
stem rust than was anticipated.
"Most counties lying east of and
including Saunders, Lancaster and
Gage harvested a better than aver
age winter wheat crop," he said.
The heaviest spring wheat acre
age in history was seeded this year,
much of it replacing winter wheat
abandoned in the panhandle. Yields

in the northern panhandle. Condi
tion of spring wheat on Aug. 1 was

For the rest of the crop picture,
the statistics disclosed substantial
production gains over last year for
oats, barley, rye, grain sorghums, po
tatoes, tame and wild hay, sugar
beets, dry edible beans, apples,
peaches, pears ajjd grapes.
Oats production was placed at 39,
4 CO. 000 bushels compared with 19,
007,000 bushels last year and the
1&2S-32 average of CS. 421. 000 bush
els. High temperatures caused
shrinking in yields. !
Barley will make a crop of about

(average oi io,ozi,vvv. nje is uiJ

Indicated production of sugar
beets was estimated at SOO.OOO short

year and the 192S-32 average of

increased from 4.730.000 bushels last
