Mr. Tocid also made a strong plea for aid in soil conservation, to keep farms of Nebraska and Iowa from losing their rich top soil. He also urged what has long been argued use of livestock on the farm, pointing out the dif ference between a strictly grain farm and one where grass and cattle are made a part of the farm program.

Mr. Todd, speaking as king of the King Korn Karnival, made some very fine suggestions to the future handling of events. One was a greater part should be given to livestock in the car nival program; another that an auction oi baby beef of 4-H clu'os be held at the karnival, and the city of Plattsmouth should have an adequate audi torium where meetings that are now held at other places could be staged here. Chairman R. R. Furse of the auditorium committee, reported contacts had been made with an architect, that plans would be secured affording a base of definite action. It was desired to have Mr. Pollock, donor of the land, proposed as a location, look over plans and make a formal tender of the land to the city council.
