AGRICULTURE WEEK TO BE GREATEST IN HISTORY Farm and Dairy Problems Re lating to War Will Be ; Feature of Program Organized Agriculture Week will be observed in Lincoln this year from January 14 to 19. Practically every one of more than thirty farm organi zations are completing their programs and preparations are already being made for handling the biggest crowds in the history of the Week. The program given this year will all reflect more or less the war spirit. In nearly every case there will be special discussion of the problems to be met with in handling crops profitably in war time. For instance, the Nebras ka Corn Improvers' association will take up "Field Crops in Relation to War Problems." The dairymen, among other things, will discuss "Ne braska Conditions for Milk Produc tion." The home economics associa tion will hold a special conservation day during the week. The horse breed ers' association will take up "Pros pects After the War." The committee in charge of Organ ized Agriculture Week consists of W. R. Mellor, chairman; Dean E. A. Bur nett. W. S. Whitten. E. R. Danielson, Prof. H. J. Gramllch. R. W. McGinnis and C. W. Pugsley. Engineers To Be Placed In Last Draft Class All engineering students in the tech nical schools and colleges of the United States who enlist in the Engi neers' Reserve, will, upon the recom mendation of their faculty be placed in the last draft classification. Only Juniors and seniors, however, whose scholarship places them among the first one-third in their class can Join the reserve. In making this ruling the government is following the ex ample of Canada and England. Pros; pettlve engineers are one of the most valuable assets that we possess, and to send away the men who are prepar ing for such service would cripple the industrial world and greatly handicap the United States in carrying on the war, as well as impede the reconstruc tion program after the present struggle.
