Cattle judging contest is
largest in college history
Latest count shows 735 Smith-Hughes students
registered in faculty-judged high school tests
Faculty members judging the
eastern Nebraska high school ag
ricultural contests at ag college
"burned the midnight oil" in large
quantities last night in an effort
to complete the scoriny of yester
day's events by this morning,
when another set of contests gets
underway.
Members of the dairy husban
dry staff at the university worked
into the small hours of the morn
ing tabulating ratings of the 50
teams which made Thursday's
dairy cattle judging event the
largest in the 26 year history of
the contests.
Registration brisk.
Registration of vocational ag
rlculture students enrolled in
Smith-Hughes high school work
continued throughout yesterday.
The latest count showed 735 boys
registered from 57 schools. There
were reports that three or four
other teams had arrived just in
time to enter the contests and
probably would not be registered
until some time Friday. But in
any case, last year's record of 691
boys from 53 schools was certain
to be left far behind.
Thursday's competition also saw
39 teams entered in poultry judg
ing; 31 in grain judging and
identification; 19 in judging dairy
products; and 8 in the egg show.
In addition, 15 boys were entered
in the Future Farmers of Amer
ica public speaking contest vie
lng for the right to represent Ne
braska in regional competition
later in the year. Howard Soester
of Crawford, winner of the public
speaking event in the western Ne
braska high school contests at
North Platte last week, was pitted
against entries from eastern Ne
braska competing for the state
championship.

Morton Margolin, news editor.
"I don't know much about his

Jim Evinger, sports reporter.
"Some of his ideas might be ap

wood's Pulitzer Prize Play with
Raymond Massey in the title role
comes to the Stuart today.
This show tells the story of this
period in the life of Lincoln as it
never has been told before. It
opens with his arrival as a gang
ling youth of 21 in the wilds of
Illinois. It tells how he ecame a
storekeeper and postmaster and
about his shy romance with Ann
Rutledge and its tragic end. Here
is also shown his political rise.
He meets Mary Todd, climbs to
the Presidency and departs for the
White House.
Massey stands within nn inch of
Lincoln's own six feet four inches
and bears a marvelous resemb
lance of him. Gene Loekhait and
Ruth Gordon also appear.

Ag announces
two county agent
changes in state
Two changes in Nebraska coun
ty agricultural agent positions
were announced today at the Uni
versity of Nebraska college of agriculture.
P. N. Hornby, agent in Sarpy
county since 1933, goes to Perkins
county in the western part of the
state to succeed T. H. Alexander
who has resigned to become the
Adams county agricultural agent.
Hornby was elected by the Perkins
county farm bureau board in a
special meeting and will take up
his new duties about May 15. He
is married and has three children
and graduated from the university
College of Agriculture in 1924.
Hornby is well known in Lancas
ter county and eastern Nebraska.
Succeeds Hornby.
Succeeding Hornby in Sarpy
county on May 15 will be Gilbert
Erickson who has served as Knox
county agricultural agent since
1936. He graduated in 1936 and
served as assistant agent in Lan
caster county for a few months be
fore going to Knox county.
In the northeastern Nebraska
county, Erickson, who comes from
Wilcox, has achieved statewide
recognition for his community
service record and his 4-H club
work. He has been particularly
Instrumental in getting farm peo
ple interested in a sound dairy
cattle program and several hun
dred head of cattle have been dis
tributed in the county within the
past year.
Farmers to see
demonstration
Howard county farmers who
turned up the sod years ago and
put the land into cultivation now
are wondering how best to get it
back to grass. And, a sod planting
demonstration scheduled for Fri
day, May 3, may provide the answer.
County Agent Alfred Kruger an
nounced plans for the meetings
today. The demonstrations will be
held on the Chris Leth farm near
St. Paul and on the William Krem
lacek farm near Dannebrog. Sev
eral acres of land will be re-sodded.
A sod cutting device will be
used along with a truck whose
rear wheels will be used as pack
ers for the newly laid sod. Local
implement dealers will display
their modern soil and moisture
conservation machinery at the
gathering also.
"The reason why no more of
these areas now unfit for culti
vation are not left to sod over is
because it has been impossible for
grass to get started without some
artificial way of introducing na
tive sod," Bays Kruger. "The dem
onstration may show the way."

Maunder makes report at first day's meeting of
seven. states' agricultural extension conference
Nebraska's Pasture Forage Live
stock program was cited as an
educational movement having cor
related and coordinated support of
all groups of people as the first
day of the seven cornbelt states'
Agricultural Extension conference
closed last night on the university
ag campus. A. H. Maunder, su
pervisor of extension programs at
the college of agriculture made the
report.
Citation of the F-F-L. program
came as Nebraska, Minnesota and
Iowa reported how they follow
through on county extension pro
grams. Director Paul E. Miller of
the University of Minnesota pre
sided at the afternoon gathering.
Speaking about the Pasture
Forage Livestock plan as one
which enlisted the active support
of civic groups, farm organization,
farmers, industry and the college
of agriculture extension service.
A. H. Maunder said that the pro
gram gave farmers an opportunity
to tell their own stories of success.
It also affords an opportunity for
the extension service to gather
important data from cooperating
farmers and to disseminate in
formation from the experiment
stations to them.
Participating farmers in the
P-F-L were spoken of as demon
strators who carry on improved

the actual administration of the in

other farmers and ranchers gain.
Maunder also said that the pro
gram was a vehicle for bringing
farm and city groups together on
a common ground for understand
ing better the problems of Ne
braska's agriculture.
Educational programs.
F. F. Clark and Mabel I. Phipps
reported for Iowa State college
and told how the desires of farm
people are carried out by county
agricultural agents in educational
farm programs. C. L McNelly of
Minnesota told the conference how
farm people in that state have
helped solve their problems by ed
ucation. McNelly cited Clay county one
of the larger potato-producing-
areas in Minnesota and how
growers through education had
improved their stock and increased
their income by working closely
with the county extension work
ers. As another example he cited
how farmers in that same county
had saved $300,000 worth of crops
ty a well organized grasshopper
control campaign in 1939.
Second day.
The conference goes into its
second day today with Director K.
J. Haselrud of North Dakota pre
siding. Robert Clarkson of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
will outline the objectives of land
use planning and there will be a
panel discussion with Paul Taft
of Iowa as leader. Taking part
will be Clarence Shanley of South
