Former Nebraskan heads
list of agriculturists
to convene here Dec. 1 1
Francis Flood, formerly a Ne
fcraskan but now with an Okla
homa farm paper and well-known
traveler and lecturer, will be one
of the chief speakers at the annual
organized agriculture meetings at
the college of agriculture, Dec. 11

group in the state will meet on the
campus sometime during the four
days. Students will have an op

standing agriculturists also.
Flood is to speak in the general
session of all organizations on
Tuesday, Dec. 12, in the student
activities building and again at the
Fun Feed on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
At the latter meeting, he will show
some colored motion pictures of his
recent trip to the Great North.
Scheduling of Flood to appear on
the Organized Agriculture pro
gram is expected to increase Inter
est in the meetings on the part of
both farm and town people. Mean
time, plans for other speakers are
progressing rapidly and the ten
tative printed program for all or
ganizations is expected to be off
the press early next week.
The 1939 sessions will open Mon
day with the annual convention of
the Nebraska farm bureau federa
tion and close late Friday after
noon. Four general sessions are
billed for the week along with
many other special gatherings. The
Master Farmer presentation by the
Nebraska Farmer comes as usual
on Tuesday night, the Fun Feed on
Wednesday evening, and the dairy
Danquet i nursday night.
Ed Janike, chairman of the en
tertainment committee for the Fun
Feed, promises to have some of the
best talent in the state available
for the Wednesday night affair in
addition to Francis Flood. Usually
facilities in the student activities
building are crowded for this
event.

Gustafson
wins essay
competition
Ag senior awarded trip
to international show
of livestock at Chicago
Milton Gustafson, ag senior, was
announced today as the winner of
the livestock essay writing contest
at the college of agriculture. Sec
ond place went to Dale Theobald, a
sophomore.
For writing the prize-winning
essay, Gustafson receives a trip
to the international livestock show
held in Chicago early in December.
The contest was sponsored by the
Swift Packing company, donors of
the trip, to stimulate interest in
the livestock industry. It is run
off annually in agricultural col
leges in the United States and
Canada.
Dream to Reality.
"From Dream to Reality," was
the title of the winning essay sub
mitted by Gustafson, who is ma
joring in rural economics. In it
he stressed the importance of meat
in the development of civilization.
Then emphasis was placed on the
improvement of the meat packing
industry and how Gustavius
Franklin Swift dreamed of estab
lishing a modern packing Industry
in the United States. The reality
of the dream was that it resulted
in the establishment of an Industry
"which today is one of the two
largest in the United States and
one of the most efficient."
Facts presented led Gustafson to
conclude that today the meat pack
ing industry permits any modern
housewife to have a greater all
year choice of meat than had
Solomon in all his glory.

Ferdland
takes advice
to 'go west7
Brooklyn boy invades
midwest to take farm
course at Nebraska
Horace Greeley claimed another
recruit today. He is Lawrence
Ferdland, 23 and single, from
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The first youth to arrive in Lin
coln for the annual farm opera
tors' short course which opens
Monday on Ag campus, Ferdland
explained he decided it wasn't too
late to follow the classic advice to
"go west, young man."
Advance registrations by letter
for the short course also include
boys from Colorado, Kansas and
Iowa, according to J. V. Srb, su
pervisor of short courses at the
college. In addition; all sections
of Nebraska are represented.
As for young Ferdland, he was
tired of life in the city. During a
summertime job on the farm he
decided to make agriculture his
life's work, despite the opposition
of friends.
Inquired first.
Ferdland wrote to several states
inquiring about their agricultural
training. Several things influenc
ed him to decide on Nebraska. For
one thing, he preferred the exten
sive type of farming of the west
to the truck farming prevalent in
the east.
Then, too, he reports, the cost of
bus fare added to the $12 fee for
the Nebraska farm-op course
comes to but very little more than
the cost of a comparable course in
New York. The season of the
year was convenient, and his
brother had brought back encour
aging reports on a trip thru the
west.
Perhaps but not least among the
deciding factors, he commented, "I
felt as tho I knew Mr. Srb before I
came his correspondence radiated
such friendliness."
Ferdland's first impression of
Nebraska echoes this same feel
ing: "Everyone here seems so
friendly and helpful while in New
York you could be lost or shoved
about and no one would know."
The youth hopes eventually to
bring his mother and brothers to
Nebraska "where you can breathe
better and feel more like stretch
ing out."
Tryout for girls'
band scheduled
Plans are under way for the ad
mittance of girls to a band which
will meet Monday, Tuesday, and
Friday at the Temple theater,
room 103 at 5 p. m.
This plan is of the nature of an
experiment. Many girls have ex
pressed the desire to play in a
band. No credit will be given now
for this activity but if the plan
proves successful the ordinary
credit will be given.
Girls who are interested should
report at the Temple theater next
week during the hours scheduled.
Keim heads NU delegation
to national agronomy meet
University agronomists will have
a prominent part in the annual
meeting of the American Society
of Agronomy at New Orleans
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of this week.
A group is now on its way to
the gulf city, headed by Dr. F. D.
Keim, chairman of the agronomy
department of the college of ag
riculture and also chairman of the
crops section of the national or
ganization. Nebraskans who will present
papers at the New Orleans meet
ing include Dr. H. M. Tysdal, Dr.
F. L. Duley and J. C. Russel.
Dr. Tysdal, who has conducted
outstanding research work on al
falfa for the U. S. department of
agriculture in co-operation with
the Nebraska agricultural experi
ment station, will throw new light
on the question of whether trip
ping is necessary for seed setting
in alfalfa.
Dr. Duley and Mr. Russel will
discuss their moisture conserva
tion studies which have recently
attracted considerable national at
tention. Carried on co-operatively
by the research division of the U.
S. eoil conservation service and
the Nebraska experiment station,
their experiments have centered
chiefly around use of a straw or
other protective covering to in
crease intake of water into the
soil and decrease evaporation.
Dr. Tysdal, who is chairman of
the national Alfalfa Improvement
conference, will also' preside at a
round table discussion on the in
crease and distribution of new al
falfa varieties. Dr. T. H. Goodding
of Nebraska will preside at a ses
sion on the ecological relations of
crop plants; and Dr. K. S. Quia
enberry, representing the U. S. bu
reau of plant industry and the Ne
braska experiment station, will he
chairman of a session on statis
tics in relation to plant breeding.
