CEMETERY CONDITIONS
The Committee Urges That Concerted
Action be Taken For Cleaning Up.

Action be Taken For Cleaning Up.
To The Editor of The Republican,:
Decoration Day is rapidly approach
ing, and there is much to be done in
the way of cleaning up our cemetery
This Day is especially set aside for the
identifying the last resting place of
our 'honored dead" in order that
those who go there to pay tribute TO
the Veterans of '61 may find all the
graves neat, attractive and well cared
for. This is commendable practice,
and one generally observed by Oak
land people, but heretofore there has
been a good deal of confusion result
ing from lack of concerted action, and
frequently we find people working on
their cemetery lots at the very hour
the memorial exercises are going for
ward. This year it has been thought
advisable to set aside a special day
for such activity, and to this end the
Cemetery Committee has asked all of
our citizens to consider Friday, May
27, as general cemetery cleanup
day, when grass and weeds may be
cut, dead flowers, waste paper, monu-
ment crates and other trash burned.
and the various lots made Just as at
tractive as possible.
This letter is direct appeal to Oak
land people, and all others who are or
should be interested, for their coop
Grafton.
Please remember the date-tombr-
row, Friday, the 9th. Much can be
accomplished by united effort. Every
one who reads this should consider it
personal solicitation of his or her
help.
No one would think of discouraginq
eleventh-hour activity. Indeed it is
sometimes impossible for people living
at distance from town to get here
before Memorial Day, and such are
forced to be late with their cleanin >
and decorating.
Flowers must of necessity be placed
on the graves at the last minute if
they are to be kept fresh for the day.
But the majority of lot owners and
interested persons can spare a little
time on Friday for this special effort,
and we urge them to do it.
Won't you help?
THE COMMITTEE.

DIOduW dtSI wear
Monday of this week while the cleo
trical storm which passed over por-
tons of Garrett county, was at its
heighth, a-boy of about twelve years
of age, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Jenkins, residing on a farm near New
Germany, this county, was instantly
killed while at the home of a neigh
Dor, where he had taken refuge from
the elements.
From the best information at hand
when this is written, it appears that
young Jenkins had been away from his
home when the storm came up and the
residence of Mr.. Lewis Broadwater
who now owns the Ross Compton farm
which lies about four miles from the
town of Grantsville, being the nearer
he, fearing the danger, ran into the
Broadwater home and seated himself
almost Immediately beneath a wall
telephone in room of the home. He
had been there few moments when a
flash of lightning came and striking
the service wire leading to the instru-
ment the fluid came through the, in
strument and with a loud crash the
boy toppled from the chair upon which
he had been sitting to the floor. When
he was reached by inmates of the
Broadwater home, several of whom
were in the same room, it was found
that the boy was dead.

near Tunnelton, West Va. He is still
in a weakened state as the result of
his narrowing experience.

Wheat Yield Of India
Third Under Last Year

The government of India has re-
Gently issued a special wheat fore
cast for the 1o20-2l crop, based on
reports received from provinces and
states which comprise about 90 per
cent of the total wheat acreage of
India, according to the commercial
intelligence dartment of India.
The total area reported in the spe-
cial forecast is 24,o45,000 acres, COM
pared with 2o,537,000 acres at this
time last year, or decrease of Is
per cent. Compared with the final
estimate of last year, 30,008, 900
acres, the present estimate shows a
decrease of II per cent. The total
yield is now estimated at 6,78,000
tons, as against 9,774,000 tons esti-
mated at the corresponding date last
year, or decrease of 81 per cent.
The present estimate of yield is 50
per cent below the revised final es-
tiinate (1O,130,000 tons) of last year.
The crop has been adversely af-
fected by dfouth and hot winds in
most of the important wheat grow
ing tracts, and the general condition
of the crop on the whole may be re-
garded as only fair.

Canadians Plan to Ship
Wheat Via Panama Canal

The plan to ship Canadian prairie
wheat to, Europe via the Panama
canal has received much encourage
ment from the attention given the
arrived of the. S. S. Buenos Aires
with 5000 tons of wheat from Van
couver, according to a statement in
the London Times Trade Supple
ment. e=.-.
Some experts feared that the rapid
change from the temperature OF
northern lattitudes to that OF the
tropics and back again would prove
injurious to the wheat. The success
of the venture, however, has been
sufficient to demonstrate clearly the
feasibility of the Vancouver-Pana-
ma route for grain as far as climatic
conditions are concerned.
There is at Vancouver a govern
ment elevator with capacity of
1,250,000 bushels, capable of han
ding $4,000 bushels of grain an
hour. The difficulty of the railways
in transporting the grain crop east
ward in the short time between har-
vest and the close of navigation on
the great lakes, is increasing yearly,
as the area devoted to grain crops
becomes larger. Therefore, the ad-
vantages offered by the western
route, where there is ice-free water
all the year round, are especially at
tractiye.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today

The pearl, which is today's tails
manic gem, is the jewel of youthful
purity, according to the ancient Ori-
entails. While its wearer was said to
be gifted with extreme charm and to
be irresistible to the opposite sex,
she is likely to be possessed of a
GOODNESS and poise which will nip
many an affair in the bud.
Roman mythology assigns the
emerald as today's stone. Though
the emerald belongs to Venus, by
some queer contradiction it is an
enemy to sentiment. 1t bestows
upon those whose birth anniversary
it is extraordinary clarity of vision.
White, a symbol of purity, is the
color to be used today, according to
the ancient mystics. 1t preserves the
harmony of which the pearl and the
emerald are the two leading factors.
No more appropriate symbol could
be imagined than the gardenia, the
flower which will exercise its sacred
significance on this day. From its
cool, chaste petals is read the proph-
ecy of pleasure which is pure and
without motive.

Growing Demand
For Information
ION Farm Problems
agricultural Stations and Col.
leges Almost Swamped With
Flood of Calls on Eco
nomic Questions.

The rapid development of the farm
bureau and the agricultural extension
work has swamped the agricultural
experiment stations of the country
with demands for more definite in
formation on the solution of the
farmers problems, according to DIR.
E. w. Allen, chief OF the Office of
experiment stations of the United
States Department OF Agriculture,
who recently visited the Nebraska
experiment station at Lincoln.
\ The farm bureau, organized in the
Interest of more efficient farming,
has seized upon the information
which the experiment stations had at
hand and is now demanding addi-
tional facts, Doctor Alien said. In
creased production, which once occu-
pied very largely the field OF expert
ment station work, no longer satisfies
farmers; they are now interested in
the economic aspects of agriculture.
The experiment stations realize that
a great deal of investigational work
must be done concerning the eco
nonrics of farming
DR.. Allen mentioned the expert
mental work that must be done in
the interests of the woman in the
home. The farm bureau is demand
ing that the experiment stations help
tighten the burdens of the farm
woman. & 79
DR.. Allen mentioned several fields
in which experiment stations have
revealed rather startling facts. Ex-
rferimental stock feeding in the last
few years has threatened to upset
some time-worn ideas. A vast
amount of valuable work has been
done along the line Of animal and
plant diseases, with the result that
some widely accepted theories have
Mad to be altered or abandoned.
= The coming of the farmer into his
own and the demand which he is
making for new farm facts have been
brought to the consideration OF con-
gress by Representativ ePurnell of
Indiana, who has introduced bill
providing for increased federal aid.
In spite of the greatly increased de-
mands upon the stations, their finan-
cial support has not been increased
in more than 10 years.
DR.. Allen complinlented the Ne
braska station on its work and ad-
yancement.
"We look upon the Nebraska sta
ton as one of the best and most re-
sourceful in the country" he said.
"We are much impressed with its
steady advancement, with the way it
organizes and conducts its work, and
with its efficient plant. Each new
building seems to represent the eli
max in efficiency. This is especially
true of the animal pathology plant
and the engineering and dairy build
ings. The way the Nebraska station
selects its experimental work and the
fact that such work is limited to
pressing problems, is especially pleas
ing. Nebraska makes happy COM
bination of the theoretical and prac-
teal and it bids fair to accomplish
great deal of good"

Grain Growers
Sign Contracts
With Elevators
Nebraska Firms Agree to De
liver Crop to New Assoicia-
tion-New Organizations
Are Formed.

A. J. Dewald of Belvidere, Neb.,
representing the United States Grain
Growers, Inc, signed contracts with
six cooperative elevators last week,
by which the elevators agree to de-
liver to the United States Grain
Growers the grain of. growers who
later take out membership. He
signed every elevator interviewed.
These elevators who thus signified
their desire to get behind this CO.
operative movement are located at
Byron, Bruning, Hubbell, Gilead,
Hebron and Carleton.
At Williams, where there is no CO.
operative elevator, Mr.. Cewald ar
ranged for the formation oe a To-
cal grain growers association. This
association will be the local contract
ing body and supervise the handling
and financing of members grain.
1t will arrange for the use of local
elevator facilities, either by con-
tract, construction, purchase or 9TH
erwise.
Word from the office OF the state
organizer indicated that 50 elevators
would be signed up by the last Of
this week. The Is solicitors working
in the different parts of the state,
have scheduled meetings for every
day this week with boards of dircc-
tors of local cooperative elevators
and they report that high percent
age will be maintained throughout
the campaign. In most cases the di-
rectors have voted unanimously %
sign the individual grower contract
as soon as this phase of the crgani-
cation work is started.
The United. States Grain Growers
is also making satisfactory progress
in other middle western states. Twen-
ty-fcur elevators, with an average
membership of 81 farmers. have pc
come affiliated with this organiza-
ton in North Dakota, according
to reports received from y. L. But
dick, director of the organization
in that state. Approximately s.000,-
600 bushels of grain are involved
in the individual contracts signed to
date.
Thirty-three cooperative elevators
in Missouri have signed contracts
for membership, according to X. E.
Donnell, state organizer. Up to the
present time no effort has been made.
to obtain signatures on the growers
contracts, bit this work will start

Eggs Rejected Because
OF Inferior Case Filters

Several car lot shipments of eggs
from the Pacific coast were recent
ly rejected because of the use of in
ferior filters, which absorbed mois-
ture and became soft and weak. In
some of these shipments the inferior
grade filters were scattered through
out the car. OF the Is cases inspect
ed in one car, one case contained
one inferior filler, another had two,
third had five all on one side, while
a fifth had all inferior filters. The
rest of the cases contained high
grade filters, which were firm and
sound.
The quality of the eggs was not
questioned because of the decline in
the market while the shipments were
in transit. The buyers refused the
eggs solely because the inferior fill
ers made it possible for them to re-
ject the eggs at the grade specified
in the transaction under a technical
grading.

Twenty Cars Of Eggs
Are Shipped to Boston

Approximately 20 car loads of
Chinese eggs reached the Boston
market during the early part of this
year. When these eggs first arrived
they were an unsettling factor on
the storage-egg market, as they were
better than the storage eggs which
could be bought at the same price.
But after storage eggs had disap-
peared from the market they were
used to supply mill towns and other
places where cheap eggs were want
ed and where they could be disposed
of prohtably at about 10 cents below
the price of eggs produced locally.
1t was difficult for the ordinary
person to distinguish Chinese eggs
from the domestic product.

American Farm
Bureau Head to
Visit Nebraska
President Howard Will De-
liver Two Addresses in
State During Latter Part
OF July.

President James R. Howard Of thu
American Farm Bureau federation
will deliver two addresses in Ne
braska the latter part OF July, ac-
cording to announcement made at
Nebraska Farm bureau headquarters.
Mr.. Howard will speak at the farm
bureau picnic in Buffalo county on
July 20, and at similar gathering
in Fillmore county on July n.
Those were the only two dates for
which the Nebraska Farm bureau
was able to secure Mr.. Howard at
this time, but tentative arrangements
have been made to have him deliver
one address at the Nebraska state
fair this fall.
This is the first opportunity that
Nebraska people interested in agri-
cultural activities have had to hear
Mr.. Howard, who has sprung into
international prominence as the head
of the greatest organization of farm
ers anywhere. President Howard,
durig the recent year of uncertainty
and reconstruction, has kept in close
touch with the vital things looking
to relief from the conditions that the
postwar period has plunged the
farmers into, both in the matter of
legislation and better organization
and cooperation among the farmers
themselves.
"This will be the greatest opportu-
rity Nebraskans have had in recent
years to learn something of the con-
dition Surrounding agriculturalists
and the aims of the greatest farm or
ganization in the world looking to
betterment of their condition"
says s.atement issued at Nebraska
Ed m bureau headquarters.
