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.

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.

Dairy Association Report
Shows 10 Unprofitable
Cows Sold for Reef.
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.
In summarizing the activities for
1922 he reports: Twenty-four mem
bers completed |he full year's work:
40 unprofitable cows were sold {•>■
beef: 41 cows were sold for dairy
purposes: 22 cows were purchased:
eight bulls were purchased and 14 sold.
Every member uses a purebred sire.
Each member has a silo. Seven mem
bers installed individual drinking
eups; 13 memljers have electric lights;
13 tiembers have modern barn equip
ment. Seven herds are tuberculin
tested. Five members were Induced
to have soil surveys made of their
farms.
An exhibit of the high-producing *
cow as compared with the. low-produc
ing row wan held at the county fair.
Some 47 cows produced 363 or more
pounds of butter fat during the year.
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.
The high cow in the association was
a 5-year-old Jersey owned by Theo
dore Wehrlo & ifon which produced
0.S4S pounds of milk containing 565
pounds of butter fat
The high herd in the association
was that of ii IJ. Mol -e. This herd
of registered Ilolsteins averaged 9,250
pounds of milk, containing 363.7
pounds of butter fat.
CULLS
The average production of th>
dairy cows of this country can be
increased fully 20 per cent through
a better system of feed and care.
It is best to shear the sheep before
the ^g ather g* ts too hot, as sheep
witli heavy fleeces suffer from the
heat and the growth of wool Is re
tarded.
