C lira) bid. manager of the Farmer union sure in Neligh, wa the first speaker; Thi store hat paid interest on the capital stuck and patronage dividends to custom er every year since it wa started in 1918. Handling only Maple line of goods, avoidance of overstocking, telling for cash and economical op eration were assigned a the chief reason for tin excellent showing, Getting Out of Hole. "We have heard how a tore wai kept from getting into a hole; now we shall hear how one wa pulled out- of a bole,' said Mr. Conner in introducing A t., Hethcl, manager of the Farmer union store in Clar iiia, la. Two year ago the Clariuda store wa $7.5tW "in the red." It ended the vear 10J1 free from debt and with $.'.M0 to be distributed to the stockholders and patron in divi dends. This comeback wa accom plished by applying the same prin ciple that have made the Neligh store, Mr. Hethcl said. Ben II. Buiboom, jr., president of the Farmer I'nion Co-Operative as sociation of Crete, irirf described the operation of that business. The Crete association conducts a general store, an implement business, an ele vator, a mill and ships livestock. Last year it lost money in the im plement line and in the mill, but came out ahead in the store, the elevator and the shipping activities. The desirability of the Farmers union audit department undertaking the collection of claims from railroad companies for all Farmers Union Co-Operative assocations was pre sented by R. B, Schuyler, Omaha attorney. L. M. Koch, secretary of the state Farmers union, told of the facilities the state organization has to fnrnish insurance to stores and elevators and bonds for managers. Membership Drive. A campaign to add 10,000 new members in six weeks is being made by the Colorado Farmers union, ac cording to advices that have reached Nebraska headquarters. Each local in the state has chosen a commit tee, consisting of eight vmen and eight women, to make the commu nity canvas for new members. These 16 persons are divided into four teams of two men and two women each. The territory covered by the local is divided into four districts, and each team takes a district. In dividual members are also asked to help in the campaign and April 22 is designated, "Scc-Your-Neighbor Day." 'his campaign is being made by the members themselves without the aid of paid solicitors or speakers. Prospects Encouraging. That prospects for wheat and other small grain are considered favorable is indicated by the volume of twine business already done by the Farmers Union State exchange. "Contracts are already being made and "inquiries are coming in rather With the County Farm THURSTON COUNTY. Walthlll In order to test Hubam clover 4Tlth tha common white blossom variety In actual field comparlona, test plots have been planted on a farm near Thurston, according to H. E. Houston, county extension agent. Two other vari eties, yellow blossom and . special yellow blossom, also were sown, with and with out a nurse crop.

There la a queation In some parts of the county whether the farmer or the gophers are turning over more dirt, com ments Mr. Huston, announcing " that ex tension agents expect to plat the county, and conduct war on the rodents. The pests are active now, he aaya, and proa rects are that more damage than ever will be done thla year if they are not combated by Intensive methods. OTOE COUNY. Syracuse Hog cholera has put in Us appearance In Otoe county but with prop er control measures, no serious outbreak is anticipated, reports A. H. DeLong, county extension agent. At thla season of the year, farmers should keep in mind the fundamental facts in connection "with swine disease and methods of prevention, the agent states. He adds:. "Lice and worms soon reduce -the vital ity of pigs and to such an extent they easily become victims of their environ ments. Cholera and pther kindred dis eases seize the Individual and the swine herd soon disappears. "Worty pigs should be treated at once. The agricultural college has a remedy that should be followed. A good, cheap, home-mixed preventative and hog condi tioner that can be kept before the pigs in a self-feeder, ia made up of the fol lowing: One bushel of charcoal (coal Black, soft coal or wood ashes), eight pounds of air-slacked lime, five pounds of salt, four pounds of sulphur (flowers), and four pounds of copperas (iron sul phate). Mr. DeLong reports on club activitlea as follows;, "New members added to District No. 10 poultry club bid fair to making the club the largest in the county. Some exceptional poultry exhibits are In pros pect for he fall. . "Several boys have regularly enrolled In a cooking club organized in Harmony district. Sex competition is expected to be keen. "The Delaware poultry club la now well under way on the year's work. "A Cnadilla youth haa announced his intention of taking up pig club work nnd will conteat with Durocs, aeveral fine specimens of which already are on hand. The distances many of the ladies trav eled who visited the various sewing club meetings in Otoe county last week proles conclusively that Otoe county women. are Interested in the projects, writes Mr. De Long.

F. Roberts, county ex tension agent, during the month of March, which, he explains to his constituents, probably explains why the county agent la obliged to be absent from the office t regular intervals. The monthly report shows a large amount of club activity in Saunders county. Mr. Roberts suggests the following pre cautionary measures In the prevention of disease among poultry: "Select breeding atock for vigor and vi Farmers Union Notes more than the uul volume for thi tune oi j ear," Manager McCarthy said.

JOHNSON COUNTY. Tecumseh. With an estimate of 200. 000 hens on Johnson county farms, should all the flocks In the county work towards an Increase in production of at least 30 eggs the first year, the aim of the ac credited system, it would mean S120.000 tho first year, not to mention the feed saved on the thousands of "never lay" hens, according to J. P. Purbaugh, coun ty extension agent. Two accredited flocks owned by Johnaon county farmers placed In the state contest, and, aa Mr. Purbaugh sees aome room for improvement, he asks it more Johnson county flocks are not open to accredited lists. Many Johnson county farmers are mod ernizing their farm buildings, varying from poultry and hog houae construction, to residences, reports Mr. Purbaugh.

COLFAX COUNTY. , Schuyler. Fourteen hats, none of which cost more than $3.05, were completed at the millinery school held In Grandvlew hall last week, conducted by Miss Rachel Harris, clothing specialist of the agricul tural college, according to Clement Kuska, county agent. The actual cost of the hats was'fl9.31, while their , estimated value, ready made, was S5. The school was conducted for the bene fit of clubs that had completed dress form and sewing club work and which desired to gain a belter knowledge of line colors and construction. Poor standa of corn usually are due to adverse conditions and the planting of unsound seed, or seed low in vitality, Mr. Kuska states. As considerable mold Is manifest In corn this year, testing of seed before planting will be profitable and probably avoid the necessity of replant ing, he says. FILLMORE COUNTY. Geneva.

A closer relation between mothers and daughters is an object of the movement.

The volume of business last year amounted to $125,000, and nt the hrst three months of this year it reached $20,500, according to the quarterly audit made by the tanners union audit department. I he company is somewhat under capi talized, which makes it necessary to borrow money for operation. Many of the farmers arc in favor of in creasing the capital by the sale of additional stock.
