Can Enter International Show Cass county farmers have been in vited to enter samples of their grain in the International Hay and Grain Show which is held annually in Chi ago 'in connection with the Inter national Livestock Show. Classes are open to farmers a n d MI club members and Smith Hughes !aml piannlng of the sandwich maker, students and there are no entry fee s. J Several important points to remem Classes have been arranged for corn. !,)er are; wheat, oats, barley, grain sorghum, j j Sandwich fillings should be soft hay and small seeds.

The fillings may be prepared Samples of Nehml ar.d Cheyenne : beforehand and stored in jars in a wheat and B-.'.rt 518 oats will be en-lcooJ 'a(e- , . tered in the Chicago show crop growers. by the Nctv Bindweed Chemical Commercial mixtures of sodium chlorate and sodium arsenite known us "Chlor-arsf-nite" and "Meta-chlor- ate" are being offered for sale for the first time this year. In view- of a possible shortage of available .sun-' ,. , .. p ies of sodium chlorate, the, com- monly used chemical for bindweed treatment information on the new product should be of value. The new product, the same as all arsenic compounds is deadly poison to all forms of animal life and must be lined with raution wherever chil dren or livestock may have access to a treated area. Special precau tion must be taken to prevent breath ing the dust when applying the mix ture and rubber gloves should be worn. Tsts with these materials, at York, have not progressed far enough to be conclusive but it is possible that chlor-arsutiite will prove as ef fective as sodium chlorate applied at the same rate.

Uppermost in their minds is the desire for (1) protection of the family against diseases which the application of existing medical knowledge can prevent or greatly lessen, (2) secur ity against the continuous financial hazards of illness. Seventy-eight project leaders rep resenting thirty-five clubs have at tended leader training meetings held ithe past two weeks, and are now the discussions within their local groups. Suggestions for School lunch. Since each meal in the day does its bit toward good nutrition the school lunch should be well-rounded in food value. A well-rounded school lunch should include each of the fol lowing kinds of food: Milk; whole grain cereal or whole grain bread; vegetable or fruit; egg. lean meat, cheese or fish; butter or other fat; sweets, as dessert. Much of the palatability of the pa(:ke(j lunch depends upon the skill z. tiiiieuueu carrots, I'auuage, en. may be used to give a crispy texture. 3. Day-old bread is preferable since it slices nicely. 4. Dark breads such as whole wheat, graham, raisin, rye. oatmeal and date breads are excellent for sand wiches. 5. Butter should be creamed he- fore using and spread evenly to the edge of the bread. C All ingredients of fillings should ,be chopped, ground or flaked. Add '" , . .

Shipping Fever Vaccine Doubtful As they move stocker and feeder cattle from the range to feed lots this fall Cass county stockmen are on guard against shipping fever, which is most likely to occur at thi3 itinie of year The primary cause of this malady has not yet been determined. Dr. S. V. Alford. extension livestock sani tation specialist, at the Nebraska Agric ultural College, informed Coun ty Agent Waldo. However, research workers in the United States are making a determined effort to find some specific organism that may cause the disease. There is much evidence against the common prac tice of causing it hemorrhagic speti cemia. i I The best means of preventing shipping fever is to give cattle the best of care just before, during and jjust after shipment. There has been a wide tlinerence of opinion over the ejuestion of vaccination as a 'pre jventative measure, Dr. Alford points cel. Veterinary literature is full of .arguments for and against it. Re- j port 3 from the field are equally con fusing. j Reliable research with the prod uct:i commonly used for this purpose IBhows them to be utttrlv worthless t "The entire history of vaccination ,in thi3 field will not bear careful .scrutiny," Dr. Alford comments. !In general preventive vaccination of cattle against shipping fever may rightfully be looked upon with much Uncertainty." j He points out that vaccines are jSipccific products. They immunize only against the specific infection for (. which they are designed. The specific causative agent of a disease must .enter into the vaccine-producing pro cess. Practically never In the his itory of either human or veterinary :riedicine has there been produced a dependable vaccine for any disease until the exact cause of the disease had been determined "What reason is there to believe , that shipping fever Is an exception to this general fulo?" he concludes. i EAGLE HS ITEI1S Mr. and Mrs. G.

There seems to be a need of ex planation of the work of the Amer ican Red Cross at this time. The following are the principal obligations of the American Ittd Cross taken from the charter granted by congress in 1903. "To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wound- (1 of armie3 in time of war. ,"To perform all the duties devolved upon a national society by each na tion which has acceded to the Treaty (The Treaty of Geneva) ... "To act in matters of volunteer relief and in accord with the mili tary and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy. ... To continue and carry on a sys tem of national and international re lief in time of peace and to apply the same In mitigating the suffer ings caused by pestilance. famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamaties, and devise and carry on measures for preventing the same." Red Cross expenditures are audit ed by the war department, and al though the Red Cross holds a quasi governmental position, its yearly programs are made possible entirely through the financial support of mil lions of men and women who join as members, and through the work of thousands of volunteers who serve without pay.
