When Senator Nash was in the city
on Saturday last he was enabled,
through the adroit management of the
editor of this Christian sheet, to sponge
a meal at the Windiate House. Tom
and the editor OF this paper are en-
rapport on religious matters and other
little incidental affairs which give a
charm to living, and in consequence
Tom never fails TO tell when the pros
poets are particularly bright for meal
which might tempt the gods. But
Nash evidently believes that his own
running ways'--a phrase coined by
Jasper Hanson as descriptive OF him
self--secured him the invitation to
dine. Should he visit Manitowoc
again without being dtsabused OF that
idea he may dine on liver wurst and
rye bread. Tom and the Pilot are
close corporation so far as good meals
are concerned.

0delI Tells Of Lack of
Live Stock on the Farms

Frank 6 Odell. secretary of the
Federal Land Bank Of Omaha. in his
talk TO the Conservation conference
yesterday told OF the lack OF live
stock on Nebraska farms as revealed
by the survey made by appraisers OF
the Land sank.
This survey covers only the farm
ers who have applied for loans from
this Institution.
The applications for loans OF these
$50 farmers show an average acreage
per farm Of 4S0, an average number
OF milk cows upon each farm Of
1874. an average number OF beef cat
tle--old and young--of 20,s, an aver
age number Of hogs per farm OF IS,
and an average number OF brood
sows OF "A.
Mr.. Odell then gave the live stock
situation by counties as this tentative
survey showed ii, and concluded:
Representative farmers who are
present in this assemtlage from the
counties which have been examined
are much more competent to state
to this audience than is this speaker
as to whether there has been an ac-
tual decrease in the amount Of breed
ing stock upon the farms OF western
Nebraska.
Whether there has been such a
decrease 1t should be plainly appar-
ent to al. that every reasonable effort
should be exertel to increase the live
stock production of Nebraska and to
make such production profitable to
the farmer who incurs all OF the risk
attendant upor this vital contribution
to the national need"

Prof. Burr Urges Farmers
To Prepare for Next Year

Prof. w. w. Burr, head of the de-

crops, since he pointed out that the
crops OF this year are pretty we'll
ground. He declared that much Of
done for this year except intensive
cultivation to get the best possible
crops out OF the seed already in the
grannd. He declared that much of
the seed planted and sown this year
Is of the slow terminating kind, for
the reason that this year the kernels
have particularly hard shells or hulls
which absorb moisture slowly.
There Is wheat enough in the state,

Food. Measures Are :

Washington, May z3.-Food legis-
!ation was placed in favored position
in the senate today by unanimous
consent for immediate consideration
OF the first bill, which deals with stim-
ulating production. The bill became
the unfinished business, giving it a
privileged parliamentary status.
While it is being considered by the
senate. the house wifi take up the Sec
ond administration measure.
In presenting the first and re-
vamped bill to the senate today, Sem
ator Gore, chairman OF the senate
agriculture committee, proposed to
repress all efforts to attach any pro-
hibition legislation. He hoped to
have the prohibition question post
poned for consideration with the food

to that end being in the Lever mea-
sure offered yesterday, which would
authorize the president to regulate
grain used for manufacturing intoxi-
eating beverages.

FARMERS WIVES Do
NOT WANT UNI GIRLS
Say That Skilled Workers
Would Want Too Much Pay
and Others Would Want
to Be Guests.

That the farmers wives do not want
to accept the magnanimous offer of
Nebraska university girls, who are
willing to go on the farms this sum
mer and assist the overworked women,
is the opinion of Mrs. A. E. Davisson,
instructor III the home economics de-
partment of the State College Of -Agri-
culture in Lincoln and chairman of
the agricultural department of the Ma
tional League for Woman Service, in
Lincoln. XIX.
"In my extension work throughout
the state d meet large per cent of
the farmers wives in Nebraska and /
have discussed with them the prppo-
sition the college girls have made. In
one town where talked to twenty
women for an entire afternoon on the
subject they refused to entertain the
idea. When | asked them il they
would refuse trained college girls
capable of canning 100 quarts of to-,
matoes in a day they replied, Such
girls would demand wages beyond our
incomes"
Would Work for Nothing.
When told that many of the girls
wished TO volunteer their services
free, the women replied, "Then we
would have to treat them as guests
and they would be more bother than
they are worth. Only help who woulI
be willing to eat in the kitchens,
which in the summer are insufferably
hot, who would be willing to attend
to the baby and help in the fields if
necessary, unless personal friends of
the women on farms, will be accept
able" according to the women.
Mrs. Davisson also made an earnest
plea that Nebraska women not waste
even a particle of food, so great, in
her mind, is the demand for the strict
est conservation. !
