Unified Action * in Marketing Is Conference Plan _ i Grain Growers, Farm Bureau and Wheat Growers Pass Resolution on Termi nal System. —'. _ Lincoln, May fi.—A forward stride | toward unified action in terminal mar keting of Nebraska grain was taken | at a conference of representatives of: the United States Grain Growers, tlie wheat growers and the Nehrnska Farm bureau, resulting in adoption nf a resolution to be presented to the respective nationl organizations for ratification, according to a state ment made public by H. D. Lute, secretary of the Nebraska Farm i bureau. Establishment of a joint agency at Omaha, a joint storage space, and allowing one- organization to act as agent for all in pooling grains, .and another to act as the agent of all in marketing, are "the chief features of tlte resolution, which is as foliws: That a joint agency be established at Omaha, if found practicable and of mutual benefit, before the open-1 his of the grain marketing season of li'L’o, between United States grain j growers and the Nebraska Wheat Growers' association, and any other purely farmers' cooperative organiza tion interested in the co-operative marketing of farmers’ grain in the Omaha .trade territory, for the pur-, pose of co-ordinating and consolidat ing the marketing of grain for the best interests of the members of the or ganizations fso joining. That joint storge space lie con tracted for in sufficient amount to provide for in sufficient amount to grain. That upon the adoption of these recommendations by the board of di rectors of the United States grain ; growers and the American Wheat Growers' association, the United States grain growers shall recommend to its members the privilege of the Nebraska wheat growers’ pool, and that so long as the Nebraska Wheat Growers' association provides a wheat pool, sufficient to satisfiy thw co operative marketing necessities of the farmers of Nebraska, and the Omaha trade territory. that the United j States grain growers make no effort I tc pool wheat. That the United States grain grow ers, through its joint agency at Oma ha, shall make immediate provision for the marketing of all grain of its members other than pool wheat. Lice and Mites Destroy Youiijj Chicks in Spring Parasites Suck Blood From Poultry and Make Bird Less Resistant to ' Disease. "Thousands of dollars worth of young poultry is destroyed each spring because of lice and miles, for birds infested with these parasites cannot make normal growth,” says Clara M. Suiter, extension specialist in poultry. The parasites suck the blood from the chick, thus causing loss of vitality which makes the bird less resistant to disease. The head louse causes much trou ble in all kinds of young poultry and should lie carefully watched. It rarely goes below the hackle, or neck feathers, but goes to the eye and nose for moisture. It lays its eggs on the small feathers around the eyes and under the bill. The treatment advised is a small quantity of sweet oil or. lard dropped Where the head louse hides. Dip the tip of tlie little finger in the melted lard or oil and rub well around the comb; dip aguJn and rub behind each ear, also under the jaw. Blue ointment is a good remedy for the body louse on young chicks. Mix one ounce blue ointment and two ounces cup grease together; apply ointment about the size of sweet pea seed under each wing. The poultry specialist suggests that the dipping method is unsatisfactory for young chicks because of the danger from chilling, unless done on a very warm da y. Bittle chickens are weakened quick ly by mites. During the day they are usually found In tho litter and cracks of the brooder. A good disinfectant should be used as a spray for the coops and brooders before the young flock is put in them. (iive Fair Trophy. Kalrbury, Neb-, May 6.—The Na tional Duroc-Jersey Record associa tion is offering a beautiful silver trophy tills year to the owner of the best litter of four Duroc-Jersey pigs exhibited at the Jefferson county fair.

Poultry Owners Unite Two Clubs s t Fillmore County Finds Dupli cation in Two Organiza tions and Unite. Geneva. Neb., May 6.—Consolida tion of Fillmore county's two poultry associations lias been effected. After several years of attempting to func tion separately, hold two poultry shows and conduct other business as two organizations, the members of both organizations decided thut theiri efforts were being lost in duplication. The officers and directors of both associations resigned, lenving the two associations automatically dissolved. A temporary organization was formed with T. W. Drummond of Fairmont a« chairman and Dr. J. M. K. Ches sir us secretary. The new organiza tion is known as the Fillmore County Poultry and Pet Stock association. One of the outstanding features of the new organization'p constitution 1j a clause which provides that the an nual show of the association shall be held each year in a different town. No one town in the county is to have the show two years iti succession, uri less by unanimous consent of the membership. The secretary of the association is to lie chosen from mem bers living in the town in which the show is to be held that year, and that town will be the official headquarters of the organization for the year. The following officers and directors were elected; O. F. Bordner, Geneva, president; W. T. Drummond. Fair mont, vice president; P. N. Frame, Fairmont, secretary; .1. M. S. Chessir, Geneva, treasurer; Mrs. F. S. Man ning. Fairmont, director, one year; Mrs. Clark .Vales Geneva, director, two years: E. S. Thomas, Shickley, director, two years. The executive committee was in structed to carry out the plans of the old Fillmore County Poultry associa tion for holding the poultry show in Fairmont this year. All members In good standing of either of the two old organizations automatically became paid up mem bers of the new association. The American Poultry Association co operated with the poultry raisers of the county by issuing to the new organization a life membership in lieu of the two memberships formerly held by the disbanded organizations. lime.

The selling of 41 rows for dairy purposes and the sending to the butcher block of 40 unprofitable cows are high points in the annual report of the Alt. Hope -Fennimore Cow Test ing association report. Interesting facts about the work of this associa tion which was founded in 1914 have been compiled by Blaine G. Paulson, tester for the association.

The average yearly production for each cow in the association wan 6.352 pounds of m lk and 270 pounds of but ter fut. Twenty two ,members fed balanced rations; 20 members fed grain to cows on pasture.
