LINCOLN, Nov. N-(Special)-The ex-
hibit Of the University farm at the Ma
tional Corn show to be held in Omaha will
be of benefit to every agriculturist in the
state of Nebraska, as we'll as of intense
interest 10 everyone.
The University farm intends to have
nine or ten separate exhibits or an ex-
hibit for each department Of the school
work. At least two demonstrators will be
on hand constantly to explain each Exhibit
and letcure on It's adoption to home work.
The lectures will necessarily be short and
continuous, but arrangements will he made
10 that any person who seeks further in
formation along any one particular line
may secure answers to inquiries and litera-
ture from the bureau Of information
which will be maintained by the school.
The domestic science department will ex-
hibit. a model kitchen. Demonstrators will
be on hand to show off this exhibit

worked city wife whereby she will be
saved many steps and much labor.
Tho field crop department will Illustrate
plant breeding and culture, giving exhibit
tions OF the work Of this important branch
of farm work.
The soil department, probably, will be
the most interesting OF all the exhibits at
the corn show. This department is now at
work upon a large map of Nebraska made
from the soil of the different sections of
the state. The department will explain the
formation Of the soil in each section shown
on the map and will show just What that
particular soil is adapted to grow with
profit. The experience of the university
school is that gradually land is wearing out
in some, sections OF the state and an effort
is now being made to educate the farmer
up to the point where he will treat his land
scientifically and thus save II from the fate
OF land in many of the older states. The
first work in this line will be done at the
corn show, where every farmer will learn
Just what can be grown with profit on
mis- land and just what crops ought to be
alternated and how the soil should be
treated to prevent It's decay. The depart
ment Is now at work on the map and will
Nhave It ready by the time the corn show
opens. This work of the university farm is
considered so important that the regents
of the university are giving it their per.
Bonal attention.
