FARM BUREAU MEETING
In spite of the busy season and
threatening weather tdxly farmers
met in the court room on Saturday
afternoon to attend tlte annual meet
ing of the Webster County Farm
Rurcau. The following program was
carried out:
President's remarks, Joe Gurncy.
Secretary's report, Carl Fausch.
County Agent's repoit, Henry
Fan vch.
Mr. J. L. Gilniore explained the
duties of School District cn-opcrutora
and tho necessity of havinfy-co-opora-
tors to represent the various local
ities of the county.
Mr. Newton Gaines was tho orator
of the day and made a fine talk on
tho value of organization. Follow
ing this the constitution and by-law's
were changed so that (lie annual meet
ing will be held the first Saturday in
December instead of February. There
were two reasons for making this
change, the first that the fiscal year
of county agent work closes Decem
ber 1st, and tho second that the
roads are better in December than
in February.
The following directors were elec
ted: Alex Puschaw, Blue Hill; Chas.
Guthrie, Roscmont; Ernest Tcrrill,
Cowlcs; Carl Fausch, Guide Rock;
Fred Householder, Bladen; Joe Gur
ncy, Inavale, and John Ryan, Red
Cloud.
The board elected Chas. Guthrie
President and Carl Fausch, Secretary.

perhaps tho League of Nations being
given more thought at present .'by
Christian people, than the Iutcr
ehurch movement, we believe any
thing authorative on the subject will be
appreciated, therefore wo give without
waste of time and space by comment
an extract from report of Committee
on I' hidings, adopted by Inter-board
Conference, Cleveland, Ohio, May 1,"
1919:
"To meet the natural and propel
inquiries of our churches as to the
character and purpose of the move
ment, we deem" it wise to state that
tiio Inter-church world movement is
a co-operative effort of tho mission
ary, educational and other benevolent
agencies of the evangelical churches
of tho United States and combine to
serve unitedly their common present
task and simultaneously and togethoi
secure the necessary resources of jnen
money and power required for these
tasks that it is a spiritual undertak
ing of survey education and inspira
tion, that it is an instrumentality,
of co-operation and co-ordination of
administrative agencies and assigned
to serve, not to supplant them. It
is this positive character of the
movement that we desire to exalt,
at the same time to prevent misap
prehension. Wo affirm our definite
understanding that this is not an
ecclesiastical movement nor an effort
at organic union. It will not disturb
nor interfere with tho administration
of any church or board, neither will
it undertake to administer or to 'ex
pend funds for any purpose beyond
its own proper administrative ex
penses. It has a definite and tem
porary mission. It will not duplicate
or conflict with other denominational
agencies. It docs not assume re
sponsibility or authority in question
of. church or missionary policy, rec
ognizing that these belong to tho co
operative agencies and organizations,
and we disclaim all statements by
whomsoever made contrary to his
declaration of principles."
Tho foregoing with that given last
week will give us somewhat of an un
derstanding as to tho character and
purpose of the Inter-church move
ment!. Board of Health Notice

May Crop Report
Winter wheat improved during tho
past month and present chances for
i a word production are excellent. The
condition of 101 per cent compared to
97 per cent last month indicate) a
production of 70,700,000 bushels,
which is more than twice the produc
tion last year. At $2.00 h bushel this
will dd 141.400,000 td the wealth of
Nebraska farmers. Thin in the lntetrt
estimate of A. Anderson of tho
Bureau of Crop Estimates and E. It.
Danielaon, Secretary of the Nebraflkit
Hoard of Agriculture.
The abandonment is practically
negligible this year. This is an un
usual record in view of the extremely
adverse seeding conditions until the
second week of last October and can
bo accounted for by a suilkient mois
ture supply and a minimum of low
temperatures since that time. Cool,
wet weather this spring has caused
exceptional stooling. Some fear has
been expressed that the thick stand
may induce rust or that it may lodge
or dry out. Wheat is a little in ad
vance of the usual which decreases
the chance for rust. Plenty vain for a
month will almost settle its moisture
requirements as dry weather is pre
ferable for wheat during tho three
weeks preceding harvest. While some
lodging may be expected from the
large, rank growth, the present con
dition is preferable to the small,
spindling growth produced by a dry,
unfavorable season. Last year's har
tcsIs were very light and this should
leave an abundant supply of available
plant food for the heavy stand of
wheat. In view of this, there is little
room at present for the pessimists.
The condition of winter wheat for
the U. S. is 100.5 per cent compared
to 99.8 per cent a month ago. This
promis.es a production of approximate
ly 1)00,000,000 bushels compared to
J)58,.M9,000 bushels the final estimate
lust year.
The condition of rye is 102 per cent
which indicates a production of 7,127,
00 bushels. ' The condition of rye for
the U. S. is 9,").U per cent.
Tho preliminary estimate of nil
tamo hay is 1,7G9,000 acres. The in
crease in acreage is due largly to the
ever increasing acreage of alfalfa.
This places Nebraska nearly first in
the acreage of alfalfa, having prob
bly a slightly lower . acreage than
Kansas. The possible harvest of wild
hay may bo 2,717,000 acres. This
may vary considcrabli according to
conditions. The present condition of
all hay is excellent. Alfalfa especial
ly is farther advanced than usual for
this date. Only 0 per cent of last
year's crop of all hay remains on
farms compared to 13 per cent a
ear ago. Tho condition of pastures
is very good.
About 55 per cent of the plowing
for spring plunting was completed
May 1. It os delayed by continued
rain:. Approximately '10 per cent of
the spring planting and sowing was
done by May 1. The seeding of oats
and spring wheat w.'ts delayed by
numerous rains.
The mortality of livestock for the
past year was about the average, ex
cept in the case of swine where it was
lower. The past winter was very
favorable for livestock. Shortage of
feed reduced the vitality of stock in
some sections of the state. Tire gen
eral health of all livestock has been
good.
In general farm conditions arc very
good. Aside from the delay of farm
work by the numerous rains, most
reports indicate that farmers arc well
pleased with the prospects. Witn a
large reserve supply of subsoil moist
ure there is less to worry about than
last spring when the subsoil was prac
tically dry. The corn acreage may in
creased this year at the expense of
the acreage of oats.
