Farmers Will Raise
Cattle Scientifically
Nebraskans Pledge to Follow In
structions in Effort to Cut
Cost of Living,

LINCOLN, NEBR., July 5.-To do
their part in reducing the high cost
of living 200 Nebra ska farmers have
pledged themselves to devote their
time, talents and energies to increas-
ing the production of beef cattle and
to follow the instructions of the uni
versity experiment station, which has
for several years made a special study
of raising cattle for beef by what 1t
believes to be the best methods.
The fact that the population o:
the country is increasing at an aver
age of 20 per cent every ten years,
while beef cattle are decreasing Z per
cent has aroused the nation to real
1zation that the high cost of living
can never be lowered until this stat
of affairs is mended. and that the
farmers are responsible for the work
is just as apparent as that the pres
ent conditions exist" said Dean Bur
nett, ADDRESSING the farmers.

From this It can be readily seen
that the droppings OF cattle fed on
cotton seed meal win afford the mos,
economic source OF nitrogen when
compared with other foods. Since
about rs per cent Of nitrogen con-
sumed by live stock in the form of
food may be returned to the soil I'm
the form OF manure, Il will be OBJ
served how lnexpensively cotton seed
meal can be made to put nitrogen in
the soil.
incidentally II may here be observed
that rs per cent OF the nitrogen plant
food in the cotton seed meal can be
used to fatten an animal and the bal
ance returned to the soil whence
1t came, to feed other plants Is it
not better to use the Is per cent in
feeding live stock than In returning ii
directly to the soil in the form Of

Peanut Shortage Coming;

Like Father Damien, young Hahn
regards his action as a duty to his
church and God. No one could better
understand the horrible conditions he
must face than he does, for he was
born there.
i shall finish my preparation. Then
l will return to India ana enter upon
my work there" he said simply.
My father gave his life to the
work in that field and l must take it
up later myself If my health permits.
Mother is i'll and l do not believe

delight her more than to know be-
fore she dies that l, too, will con-
tinue in the work Of my father"
To him it is all in the days work.

of the superintendent Of the colony.
She has been there for years and has

1t seems a certainty that Wayne

The bill compels Wayne county to

rate the elimination OF $4,000, 900
