Professor Gramlich Flays
Sit-Downers; Rusk,
Harper Talk.
Tn attendance of more than 2,000
persons, Nebraska's silver anniver
sary Feederr.' session at tho ag
college closed Friday. The student
activities building on tho Holdrege
street campus was filled to ca
pacity by visitors viewing the ex
hibitions. rrnf I inward .T. Gramlich. one
of the chief speakers at tho sec- j
xion, accentuated the fact that sit-.
down strikes have been playing
havoc with the livestock Industry.
"While industrial conditions of the j
country seem definitely on the ,
mend, erratic demands for food
resulting from numerous sit-down i
strikes without question are pre- j
venting the pork market from ad
vancing," Professor Gramlich as
serted. I
Jesse Harper, ex-Notre Dame
football coach, wa.i introduced to
tho assemblage by Coach Biff
Jones. In the role of a seer, he
predicted a good feeder market
for next fall and urged agricul
tural rchonls to undertake studies
showing the cost of producing
calves.
Prof. H. P. Rusk, of the Univer
sity of Illinois, compared livestock
conditions of Illinois to those of
Nebraska. Ho told his audience
that Illinois farmers are deeply In
terested in improving their pas
ture lands.
