(Special to The Star) BLUE HILL, Aug. view of the growing tendency to Introduce religion into all matters of civic functions, especially into the public schools, cither as a subject for study or in connection with commencement exercises, in Hie form of invocations, benedictions, doxologies, and the like, thl Southern Nebraska district of the Evangelical Lutheran synod of Missouri, assembled here from August 19 to 25, in its final meeting passed the following sets of resolutions: Whereas, the principle of separation of church and state is basic and to our American form of government, and Whereas, this principle restrains churches, on the one hand, from Injecting their religious briefs into state affairs and also, on the other hand, prevents the state from interfering with the religious beliefs and legitimate religious practices of churches and their individual members, and Whereas, the adoption of this principle by America has, under God, become the mainspring of all the religious liberty and freedom of oonsclence which American citizens and their own Lutheran church included enjoy an inalienable human tight, under which they are enabled to carrry on their religious work unhampered, therefore, be it resolved; 1.

That we, the members of the Southern Nebraska district of the Evangelical Luthern synod of Missouri, Ohio, and other states, in convention assembled at Blue Hill, reaffirm our faith in and our adherence to this great principle of our civil givernment and that we praise God for having preserved the same intact to this day, to the blessing of both church and state. 2. That we do all we possibly can in an educational way to help our own people and also our fellow citizens to a more thorough understanding of the meaning and of the great value of this principle for themselves and for this nation, to the end that the efforts of such may be brought to naught as, either unwittingly or wilfully, are working to undermine it. 3. That we declare religious ceremonies held at civic functions and every effort to put the liibie into the public schools, or to introduce religion or rellous rites of one sort or another into said schools, to be violative not only of this principle but also of the religious liberty and freedom of conscience of those who must submit to such and similar practices 4.

That we call upon all liberal minded and earnest American citizens to join us in this protest against the growing tendency to tolerate them; and that we also ask our fellow citizens to second our endeavors to clarify not only an understanding of the principle of the eeparatlon of church and state in the abstract, but also in its many logical applications to dally life- 5.

M'COOK, Aug. farmers in Red Willow county who treated their seed wheat with copper carbonate dust a year ago reported to their county extension agent that they had no stinking smut at all this year. Adjoining fields which were untreated averaged 22 per csnt smut. The treatment cowt about 3 cents per bushel plus a little labor. Anyone can figure tha It was a paying proposition.

If a fheld of wheat averaged but 12 bushels per acre, 22 per cent makes over 2 1-2 bushels saved with 3 cents and a little work. Twenty more farmers of the same county reported 1-2 to 2 per cent smut, only three reported over 2 per cent, and 7 others were hailed out. The treatment must be thorough if the farmers expect to get results. All these men followed directions given them by their county extension agent, Irvin S. Ulrich, and state extension agents in agronomy, H.

Stewart und D. L. Gross. They mixed 2 ounces of the copper carbonate dust with each bushel of seed wheat, using a 30 gallon revolving barrel for a mixer in most cases. This barrel held about a half bushel of wheat at time and each batch was mixed about 80 seconds, making the capacity of the outfit with two men operating it about 30 to 40 bushels per hour.

The average pair of neighbors could treat all their seed In half day or less. Air. li'lch cautioned these men to make the barrel tight so the fumes could not escape and choke the operators. Most of them learned also to work out In the breeze so the dust did not sicken them. Commercial machines which do a much more thorough job than the home-made device are on the market at a reasonable cost.

For a farmer who grows 160 or more acres of wheat, they are as good an Investment as a fanning mill or grain drill. A group of farmers might use one To he effective the dust must be well mixed on the wheat and practices as stirring it on In any old barrel or In the grain drill at seeding time are a waste of time.
