scare. Unusual Interest attaches 20 this
situation because OF the fact that a large

GAGE COUNTY FARMERS
HEAR LECTURES BY EXPERTS

BEATRICE, Neb.. Dec. 2O.-(Special) y.
The Gage County Farmers Institute
opened here yesterday for a two days
session with a large attendance.
o. Hull OF Alma, Neb., spoke on the
subject of growing better wheat. The
Importance of carefully selecting seed
and making a saving in planting by
sowing sparsely was dwelt upon at
length.
The question Of corn cultivation and
fertility was discussed by Prof Pugsley
of Lincoln. The reason why crops should
be rotated was explained from scientific
and practical points of view. UNMARRIED
cropping of a piece OF ground takes away
the soil properties necessary to produce
and poisons the soil.
In the afternoon the question of good
roads and concrete culverts was dis
cussed. ]. w. Fouts Of Diller. Neb, who
is leader in the Diller good roads en-
terprise, told how roads could be made.
Other speakers on this subject were r.
w. Schaupp, John Dobbs and William
Holm.

Sft hhR--Nohdltlons IN the Sheep and
lamb trade favored selling interests only
slightly, the general market having many
phases In common with yesterdays ses-
sion. Good lambs ruled strong to about
dime higher, while medium lambs and
all kinds OF sheep sold at figures steedy,
or very nearly so. Packing demand CEN
tered upon toppy corn-fed lambs, despite
an increasing proportion OF this class OF
stock, and the brisk inquiry for quality
strings was plainly responsible for i'm
prOvement. Retail orders for fancy
scored carcasses are more plentiful at
this time OF the year and in order to fill
these orders properly packers usually
show decided Partially for plump,
600 head, an estimate that served to put
additional life into the trade, and by
10 O'Clock almost everything with finish
had changed hands. Choice fed western
lambs touched IS and near prime offer
ings, both natives and westerns, landed
at $3.50. Medium lambs moved at and
under $3.50. the. full dollar range in prices
Matured muttons were purchased in
fairly active fashion, but did not find an
outlet as readily as fat lambs. Eve sales
were frequent, and business in heavy
wethers proved rather light, as fat ewes,
rather than wethers and yearlinRs made
up the bulk OF the sheep supply. Attrac-
brought So. l0dS 80, and inferior grades
sold under 1926. Something strictly choice
IN the way Of corn-fed ewes would prob
dblg sell at SosVVUOsOOs 1Tlfile "WGLn6TH are
Quotable up to 81.
Display Of feeders had a remnant APP
pearance and nothing much happened TO
afford anything like a fair test of val
ues The two days purchase on country
account, according to packers tabs,
amounts to only $500 head.
Spreads showed the usual 50-cent range
between prime lard and poor light grades,
the best heavies on sale selling at $3.50
as compared with yesterdays top OF $6.15.
Butcher animals moved around $6.O0q6.O5
and light averages sold from $500 down
to 5.S65d5.70. There were only a few,
small punches OF pigs among arrivals
and values remained unchanged, ranging
from S425 to $5.35.
