Snow Slows Up
Organization of
Agriculture Meet
Small Crowd Attends First
Croup Meeting on State
< College Campus—Farm
Basis Discussed.
Idncoln, Jan. 2.—(Special.) — Or
ganized agrieuture in session at the
University of Nebraska College of Ag
riculture campus was slow in getting
underway today, owing to the snow
end oold. Only a small attendance
was present at the first of five group
meetings to he held during the week.
There are 13 different sections of or
ganized agriculture, all with programs
of special interest to the particular
class of agriculturalists represented.
At the Crop Growers' association,
farm tenantry was discussed from
vhiee angles—r.ie tenant, the owner
and the land. J. 12. Kiri;wood, rep
resenting the owners, suggested a
model lease, providing for alternating
crops and feeding of livestock as a
means of maintaining fertility. The
owner furnishes the livestock and di
vides evenly witli the tenant in pro
viding seed fop planting.
Presents View of Tenant.
Presenting (he view of the tenant,
.Tames Smith of Tekamah suggested
that farming operations were much
too high at present. Ho suggested a
lease to run one year, with an option
Of renewal for five years. He pro
posed the tenant should furnish
horses, machinery and labor, and own
the livestock, a five-year pro
^TTrail of rotalii>n of crops agreed upon
and all crops to be marketed in the
form of livestock, if possible. He said
the tenant should not bo charged
for pasturage, Hie owner should fur
nish seed, and divide 50 50 with the
tenant on expense or operation and
profit.
Ip order for a lease to be satisfac
tory, according to I'roJ, II. FUiey,
who presented the impartial view, it
should contain provisions for crop ro
m tatfim, for the raising of legumes,
* should encourage the keeping of live
stock, should put a. penalty upon loose
slipehod methods and Should protect
theftenant against loss upon his re
moval fur the efforts lie had made
in bettering the land.
Need Marketing Machinery.
TV need of more marketing ma
hitp’i-.v was emphasized by several
speakers.
Although the honey producers did

In the last 10 years, Nebraska’s honey
Industry hns tripled and was valued
