THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1942 PLATTSMOUTH SEHI - WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FIVE J Cass County Farm " t Bureau Notes Copy furnished Irom Offk 61 County Agent Waldo. 4 Important to Re-enroll Now Four--H Club members this week were urgtd by Extension Agents Baldwin and Waldo to re-enroll and get all organizations for 1943 com pleted at once. "Every 4-H club member will want to participata in the war ac tivities carried on in every commun ity in the state. Twelve months is needed to do the many things that a patriotic hoy or girl is expected to do," the agents said. Clubs organized during the winter have the advantage of holding meet ings at a time when outside work is not so urgent. It is possible to combine social activities with the 4-H Club program to an extent that is not possible when there is barely time to do the required work. The 4-H Club which goes right on into the next year without a break func tions much more smoothly and does more and better work. With travel curtailed, meetings will have to be planned so no extra driving will be necessary. The club meeting is a vital part of 4-H club work and should not be dispensed with. Bay 4-H Baby Beef Over 10U baby beeves will be fed; by Cass County 4-H club members this coming year in spite of the fact several older members will be in the armed forces or working rtay from home in defense plants. Tne young er boys and girls, those from 10 to around 14, will make up for the loss of older club members. The following were assisted in ob taining a total of 55 calves the past few days: James and Dick Harmon, Greenwood; David Cook and Eugene Kuehn, Elrnwood; Virgil Streich, Greenwood; Ruth Aufenkamp, Ash land; Donald and Elmer Iske, Platts mouth; Raymond Owen, Ashland; Richard and Marion Pratt, Elm wood; Richard Sack, Plattsmouth; Ralph Hild, Plattsmouth; Lyle, Bet ty, Norma and Marilyn Schafer, Ne hawka; Harold and Darleen Zierott, Murdocki Wilber Morris Weeping WatSer "arfeFCWrles Gonzales of Elm wood. Household Equipment Demonstration Care and repair of household equipment will get much attention j from home demonstration project clubs along with other importaV homemaking topics during the com ing winter, according to Extension Agent Miss Baldwin. Use of tools, nails, and screws; care and use of stoves, pots, pans and other cooking equipment, use and adjustment of washing machines, wringers, irons, and other ironing equipment, use of cleaning equip ment, milk utensils and equipment, refrigerators, sewing machines, plumbing problems, paints and paint brushes, windows and screens, and electric cords, are among the topics that will be discussed during the demonstration. Watch for the schedule of train ing meetings for this demonstration which will be opened to all organ izations wishing to send representatives. wear evenly as possible. Sheets wear out most quickly where the sleep er's shoulders rest, so reverse the sheet once in a while to put the top part at the bottom of the bed. Sheets also last longer if you let each one rest between the times it's used. A good scheme is to put freshly laun dered Bheets on the bottom of the pile in the linen closet, and use the ones on the top first. LooEe or sharp wires on bed springs or splinters in bed rails can snag or tear sheets. Bend down such wires and sandpaper splintery places on the rails. And mend any snagged or torn places in sheets quickly, before they get bigger. Both sheets and pillowcases that are too small will wear out more quickly than those the right size. You can piece sheets to make them longer or give them more tucking-in room at the sides. If your pillowcases are nar row, you can piece the sides of those, too. Underslips, the removable coverings for pillows, lighten wear on cases by acting as a "buffer" between the case and the harsher pillow ticking. A pillowcase may show first signs of year where it's constantly folded, and may even split at these places. To avoid this, with a pillowcase made from tubing and having no side seams, open the end seam and move the side places where folds formerly were made over to the face of the pillow case. Then researa the end. Using a sheet or pillowcase as a laundry bag is one of the hardest uses to which it can be put. It strains the sheet where it's knotted, and the seams of the pillowcase. Then too, the fabric, although sturdy was not made for this type of wear and much damage can be done by rough handling. Rommel Whistles Past the Graveyard j " : "T ' :.

During the first quarter four pu pils were not absent. These pupils are: Dean Meisinger Jean Meisinger, Frances Buechler and Donald Born. In the scrap drive contest we had about 877 lbs of scrap per pupil. We won second place in the contest. The prizo was a check for $2.50. With the money we are going to buy a flag. Our school is also going to get a vic tory flag from the Ak-Sar-Ben for having 500 lbs of scrap per pupil. In our school we have helpers. Each pupil is appoint a different job to do. The jobs we have to do are put up flag, help with washing, pass oil cloths, pass waste paper basket, clean erasers, hang up wraps, pass song books, water flowers, and keep doors closed. We enjoy to do these jobs very much. Every pupil in school has defense stamps and four pupils have bonds. These pupils are Dean Meisinger, Jean Meisinger, Marion Tritsch and Marilon Warner. We hope we can keep up this good work. Marilon Warner, reporter Cost Of Bindweed Eradication Cultivation is the kmost practical and effective method of eradicating bindweed on infestations larger than 1 acre, according to studies at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. On such areas tillage proved to be only one-fifth as costly as the sodium chlorate method of eradica tion. Total cost per acre of each cultiva tion, in work conducted in Lancaster and York counties was 33 cents. The average number of cultivations re quired to eradicate 95 to 100 percent of the original stand of bindweed was twenty-seven, making a total average of $8.91 per acre. Further supplemen tary treatment to complete eradica tion brought the total cost per acre to approximately $10.00. A 7 foot tractor drawn duckfoot cultivator was used in the experi ments. Costs included depreciation on equipment, labor of the operator, and cost of fuel and oil. Philadelphia, Pa. Americans who know, think Marshal Rommel is like the p mall boy who whistles to keep up courage while he goes by the graveyard at night. From Berlin, supposedly from Rommel's mouth, comes a belittl ing statement about American-built tanks, the latest step in a Nazi propaganda campaign, designed, ac cording to Major General L. H. Campbell, Jr., Chief of Ordnance of the U. S. Army, "to undermine American Faith" in the M-3 medium tanks. "The propaganda has failed," says General Campbell, "because it was falsehood." " In a letter to Charles E. Brinley, president of The Baldwin Locomo tive Works, Philadelphia, General Campbell gave officirl confirmation of the story published by The Il lustrated London News, that the American Tanks have robbed Rom mel's panzers of their hitherto su perior fire-power. In one encounter, eight of the M-3's. which the British call "General Grants," routed approximately 50 German Mark III and Mark IV tanks, leav ing 14 of them on the battleground. The American ordnance chief also approved publication of the above photograph, from the same Eritish source, showing a tank driver's view of a fleet of 28-ton monsters going into action on the African desert. Picture and comment, says General Campbell, "form deserved recognition of your good job at Baldwin as well as a truthful ex position of the job the M-3's are doing." The General might have added that Mr. Rommel will get small comfort from the fact that the M-4's (General Shermans) now rolling out from Baldwin and other tank arsenals are even bigger, bet ter and tougher. Card Of Thanks I deeply appreciate the confi dence which was shown by the many friends who wrote in my name and especially those who worked in my behalf at the general election. I feel this was the greatest com pliment that could be paid my four years record as your County Com missioner and I thank you sincerely, d & w Ray E. Norris. Doing Well The reports from the Clarkson hospital at Omaha are to the effect that C. C. Wescott, local clothier, who is there recovering from an operation, is doing well. Mr. Wes cott is feeling in excellent condition and his reaction from the opera tion has been the very best. Large Shipment of Cattle Although cattle have been arriving right along at the Burlington sta tion, the largest shipment in some time arrived this week end. Seven cars of white-faced cattle, which J would number about 225 head arriv , ed from Heckla, Nebr. They were shipped to Boedecker and Cotting ham at Murray. - - Special Journal Correspondano linois arrived in Eagle the first of IVf rs. Roosevelt Visits Ireland this week and is enjoying a visit! S 0 S For More Fats A campaign to collect more waste fats and oils will proLably get under way in the county soon. Every patriotic Nebraska family will want to do their utmost in making avail able every possible pound of sur plus household fats and oils and ev ery pound of grease from every dead animal on the farm so that their boy and the neighbor's boy across the road may have the ammunition they need, both for attacking and repell ing our enemies. During winter months fats and greases are easily preserved until they can be delivered to the meat dealer, frozen food locker operator or Tenderer. Continue Bat laitirg Farm folks who baited rats during the ! week follow ing Hallowe'en are urged by Associate Extension Ento mologist Don Whelen to not stop the work just because the one week's Farm Operator's Short Course Twelve weeks, instead of sixteen will be the length of the farm opera tor's short course which starts on November 30 at the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture, ac cording to Jerome Srb. supervisor of short courses at the college. The change means that farm boys and girls may have four more weeks dur ing which they may help out with farm and home jobs that are import ant in the war effort, and yet can get practical instruction in wartime agriculture that will help them do a better job on the farm in 1943. Boys will study pork, beef, mutton and wool production, grain and feed production, animal diseases, insect control, milk and cream production farm mahinery and motors, farm ac counts, vegetable and fruit produc tion, and other farm topics. Girls will take some of those subjects, so that they may do some of the jobs formerly done by boys and will also study foods and nutrition, care and use of household equipment, family record keeping and budgeting, and other home making topics. These are two terms of 6 weeks each, and fees are $6 for each term or $13 for the entire farm operator's short course. Anyone 16 years old or older may enroll. High school training is not required but is val uable. Inquiries about the short course should be sent to Supervisor of Short Courses, College of Agriculture, Lin coin. Jesie H. Baldwin, Home Demonstra tion Agent, campaign is over. The drive on .rats Willard H. Waldo County Agricul. should be a year-round proposition, he states. Poisoning, trapping and other control measures will elimi nate the $1 annual cost of feeding one rat on a farm. Conservation Of Textiles Textile mills have heavy schedules to meet in wartime, and every saving on household textiles in the home help ease the burden on the mills. Home Demonstration Agent Miss Baldwin states. It is possible to get longer wear from sheets and pillow cases by taking a lew precautiojos. One suggestion is to distribute the tural Agent.
