Bow are members of the board of
directors.
An Omaha man, Robert Wals
trom is heading the honey produ
cers association for the coming
year. Ralph Barnes of Morrill is
the newly elected vice president
and Don B. Whelan of the college
of agriculture is secretary. Joseph
H. Sharp of Malcolm is president
of the farm equipment association
while Paul Hoff of the Nebraska
college of agriculture is secretary.
Mrs. Mildred Weigley Wood, di
rector of the adult education in
homemaking at the Phoenix Union
high school, Arizona, outlined the
steps necessary in the successful
management of a home at the
Wednesday afternoon session of
the home economics section of Or
ganized Agriculture.
The speaker said the needs of
the family must be considered as
the basic step in the management
of a home. Next to resources the
family must be studied, she re
marked. By resources she did not
mean only money but also human
resources such as energy, health
and ability of individual members
of the family.
Mrs. John Strolz, Moore field:
Mrs. J. Thomas Graham, Dakota
City; Mrs. Ervin E. Hartz, Roca;
Mrs. John H. Cooper, Washing
ton; and Mrs. H. A. Heyne, Wis
ner were honored as master
homemakers also at the home eco
nomics sessions. Dean W. W. Burr
of the agricultural college, W. H.
Brokaw and Mrs. H. F. Capwell,
1930 master homemaker, gave
short talks on the program.
Probably the most interesting
part of the crop growers associa
tion program was a debate upon
the advisability of reducing wheat
acreage in eastern Nebraska. D. L.
Gross of the agricultural college
led off for the affirmative followed
by Ira Kindig of Holmesville for
the negative. D. S. Dalbey of Beat
rice also appeared for the affirma
tive and P. H. Stewart of the col
lege spoke for the negative. No
decision was reached.
Electricity will be the largest
factory in making the farm home
as efficient and attractive as the
city home Thome Brown, director
of the midwest section of the na
tional electric light association told
farmers gathered at the farm
pquipment association session in
the agricultural engineering build
ing. He said agriculture is becom
ing more and more electrically
minded.
Hildebrand Addresses Stockmen.
Dan Hildebrand of Seward told
members of the livestock associa
tion that low priced feeder cattle
and sheep combined with financial
conditions have caused more in
terest in contract feeding this year
than ever before. He said the prac
tice allows a profit in a small way
for both the feeder and the grower.
The state dairymen's associa
tion started their annual meeting
off Wednesday morning with the
usual dairy cattle judging contest.
Only 56 breeders, testers and stu
dents entered the contest this year.
Seven teams from dairy herd im
provement associations entered the
contest last year while but two
were entered this year.

' LADIES OF THE JURY,' BY
NEBRASKA GRADUATE IS
KNOCKOUT AS SCREEN
PRODUCTION, SAYS HOL
LYWOOD PAPER.
(Continued from Page 1.)
February of 1931 was received
with such a "big hand" that it was
held over three days, playing to
greater audiences each succeeding
performance, altho the first show
was packed almost to capacity.
The cast which played the Feb
ruary performance included Alice
Howell, Theodore Diers, Mildred
Bickley, Pauline Gellatly, De Lellis
Shramek, Dorsel Jacke, Nora Os
borne, Robert Reade, Harlan G.
Easton, Bill McCleery, Zolley Ler
ner, Leland Bennett and Dick
Page.
The plot of the story, which is
just sufficient to hold the play to
gether, centers around a wealthy
society woman who is impaneled
as a jury woman. She is con
vinced of the innocence of the de
fendant, a young girl accused of
murdering her miluoDaire hus
band. After the first act which
takes place in the courtroom, the
scenes are laid in the jury room.
After two days and two nights
spent in "considering the evi
dence," Mrs. Crane, the role por
trayed by Miss Howell, succeeds
by flattery, bribery, and the use
of her own charms In persuading
the jury that the defendant is
"not guilty."
Fred Ballard while here in the
university English department
wrote his first play, "Eagles Nest."
This was never produced, but was
first read to the English depart
ment club by Prof. R. D. Scott who
is at present the head of the mod
ern English drama department of
Nebraska. It was upon the sub
mission of this play that Mr. Bal
lard gained admittance to Baker's
class in Harvard. Before achiev
ing his latest success, "Ladies of
the Jury," Ballard also wrote the
stage hit, "Young America." He
has written several other stage
successes.

With all but the first and last
scenes depicting a dream, the p?ay
is a satiric farce of witty comedy.
The costumes and exaggerated
proportions of certain objects gives
a fantastic, dream-like atmosphere
which is truly unique. A feature
of the show is a pantomine ex

because it is a new situation. That
they failed to carry out the threat
of proposing abolition of the of
fices in Student council meeting is
an old, old story in campus poli
tics. "Feminine interest" was per
haps the greatest factor in the
furore created by the law college
as it attempted to have Kosmel
Klub action proclaimed illegal.
When the name of Miss Imogene
Steinmier, law college candidate
for the position of Nebraska
sweetheart, was thrown from the
ballot the laws were up in arms.
Many changes, they indicated,
would be made as soon as their
case had been brought before prop
er parties. Their case, it seems, was
brought before several parties, and
although all was proper enough
nothing was done. Miss Audrey
Gregory's resignation from the
post of Queen Kosmet added a
great deal of interest to the case
but produced no particular reac
tion. On the whole the campus sit
uation has been extraordinarily
dull. The Student council has
met regularly and from time to
time has passed commendable
statutes but perhaps the hardest
work its members have done all
semester is supervise the fall elec
tion and count votes. Nothing,
however, can be held against
members of this august group on
account of their inactivity for
they have a very good excuse iu
that "there simply has been
nothing to do."

nation," which are now being
planned by at least two significant
forces within the student body, get

BY HARRY FOSTER.
Registration week. Students are
sie-ninc un tor courses. What is
the basis for the choosing of elec
tives? The professor or the sub
ject. Something like the lion and
the mouse.
Students' minds need p--ychoana
lvsine. Whv do students choose
certain courses instead of others?
I'll have to think this out myself.
Some of the most able professors
in the Vnivrrsity of Nebraska are
not chosen by the pursuers of
knowledge. Personal unpopularity
has deprived i.nem or receiving me
following that their knowledge de
serves. Some professors, teaching dull
subjects, have drawn herds of stu
dents to their class room. Stu
dents like a regular fellow for a
prof. They cat up what he feeds
them. "Bull session" classes nre
extremely popular.
Other professors in a boresome
monotone lull their class to sleep
and Morpheua reins. The informa
tion that they put out in this man
ner is vastly more important than
the staff digested in "Bull session"
classes. Or is it? It depends on
whether you go to college in order
to learn bow to make a living or
if you come to develop a philoso
phy of life.
Straddle the fence. We need
both types- The one kind affords
amusement and sets you a think'in.
The other gives you important in
formation about a subject that will
help vcu culturaly or materially.
Choose a professor regardless of
the subject if you know that you
will get some good out of him.
Choose a subject regardless of tne
professor if you think th;;t the sub
ject is one of value to you.
The other angle of the regis
tration week is the fact that the
enrollment fr the next term has
fallen down considerable from that
of former years. The aepiession
took its toll! How about the rest?
A decline is always shown in the
second semester enrollment but
this years decadence presents a
problem.
The university authorities? I
have been told do not care par
ticularly about the quantity. They
are interested in the quality. The
quality is helped by the quantity,
however, because the more stu
dents that there are the more com
petition there will be.
Competition breeds business. (I
got that out of the Sat. Eve. Post,
not my ec. class. ) We need com
petition at Nebraska and we need
all the good students that we can I
gel. Its unfortunate that there are
not more scholarships offered so

that deserving students could stay

Tow heads, red heads, black
heads, square heads, block heads
and round heads have worn the fa
mous "brown derby." Another type
of head is wearing it now. Dean
Foster, the owl of the law owlettes
has come thru with a wise crack.
The famous, I mean notorious, law
derby replaces the Dean's custo
mary Homberg.
We were talking about heads. I
got ahead of my story. The classi
cal brow now ends in a classy
derb. Too bad that it isn't hasn't a

genie. All things come to him who

somebody if we printed the sub

pend upon an increase in popula
tion. Land Requirement Unchanged.
In dealing vith per capita con
sumption it appears from Dr.
Baker's lecture that the net land
requirements per person, assuming
a stationary production per ace,
are about the same now as thirty
years ago. Aggregate consumption
of farm products in the United
States continues to increase more
or less directly with the population.
This tends to show that no relief
can be expected from this source.
The export of American agricul
tural exports since 1926 has been
definitely established. The reasons
given by Dr. Baker for this, are:
The reduction in the purchasing
power of European peoples, owing
to the dimunition of American
credit and other factors, the in
crease in European tariff on agri
cultural products and American
tariffs on manufactured goods, the
decline in the value of silver, which
has affected the purchasing power
of Oriental peoples, and many
other facors have exerted an in
fluence. Dr. Baker, believes that
some of these adverse influences
will improve with recovery from
the business depression, but that
exports of farm products will
again exceed or even equal the
post war peak or the ear'.V- peak
at thp beginning of th cm ury is
not certain in view of uc .Inclining
birth rate in Europe and the low
purchasing power of the peoples of
Asia.
In a summary of this question,
Dr. Baker pointed out tnar agri
cultural production in the future,
as in the past, undoubtedly will
not and should not increase faster
than the nation's population, un
less exports increase greatly.
Will Need Increase.
The question of how much farm
land is likely to be needed to pro
vide food and fibers for an in
crease of 15 to 20 percent greater
population that may be expected a
third of a century hence was taken
up. This is the maximum increase
expected, unless a drastic change
occurs in the number of births or
immigrants. It is expected that
this nation's maximum population
will be reached in about thirty
years, and to take care of this in
crease, it is probable that the in
creased need for farm products
will be about 8 percent f3n years
from now.
In tracing the agricultural pro
duction per acre at the present
time, and from the period since the
World war, Dr. Baker showed that
the agricultural production per
acre of productive land has been
increased in at least five ways.
These are: By the substitution of
gasoline for horse and mule feed:
the increase in animal products
(other than power) has been about
23 percent, whereas crop feed
available has increased not more
than 10 percent, a shift from the
less productive crops per acre to
the more productive, as for ex
ample from corn to cotton in the
south, likewise, there has been a
shift from beef cattle toward dairy
cattle, hogs, and chickens, which
produce much more food than beef
cattle per unit of feed consumed,
and finally there has been an in

Operating
crease in acre yields of certain
crops.
Erosion Complicates Problem.
Still another factor enters into
the problem, according to Dr.
Baker. That is the loss by soil ero
sion, notably in the south and the '
sputhwest. The progress of erosion !

Other
an influence, according to Dr.
Baker. Mechanization of agricul
ture is responsible for an increased
crop acreage.
Dr. Baker in concluding his ad
dress declared that the rapidly de
clining birth rate and the rigid re
striction of immigration has made
former land policies as obsolete as
the hoe and the flail. The farmers
of the United States must realize
that a great change has occurred
in the ideals of the American peo
ple, which is altering the composi
tion of the population and, unless a
reconsideration occurs, will reverse
the trend of national dtrvelopment
