Fewer hogs are on hand in Nebras-

The average price paid for feeder

The average price or lambs for leeu-

The average price of alfalfa hay as
reported as $14.60 per ton compared
with $12.56 last fall. Other hay is
$12.29 per ton while -last fall the
price averaged $9.67. The price of
corn ranges from 60 cents per bushel

On this basis it is worth more than
$9,000,000 to harvest this year's corn
crop.
There is considerable tendency to
feed hogs to heavier weights and this
is not as marked as last fall, due to
corn shortage in some sections and
the higher unit price of corn.
ANGERS THE JUNG0-SLAVS
Paris, Dec. 7. Trouble is seething
over Italy's new treaty with Albania
Jugo-Slavia is aflame with anger; her
, foreign minister. Doctor Ninchitch
, resigned last night as a protest, and
the whole cabinet headed by M. Ou-
zounovitch, followed his lead, to at
! tract the world's attention to what
j he has described "the new and grave
situation" and what is generally re
garded as a 6erious danger to central
European peace
Even the league of nations is great
ly disturbed, advices from Geneva
state, for Doctor Ninchitch was pres
ident of the last assembly of the
league and complications of a wide
spread nature are feared.
Jugo-Slavia is a heavily armed na
tion with an estimated force of 200,
000 men. It is feared, too, that
.Mussolini's program of expansion and
alliance will run afoul of the little
entente, which in large measure was
developed by Ninchitch.
The Jugo-Slavs are reported as re
garding the Italo-Albanian alliance as
"disloyalty" to their country and
other Balkan nations, and the Bel
graue newspaper Politica prints a
statement from unconfirmed source in
Scutari that the pact contains a

Farmers Going
on a European
Tour Next Year

Tederation, to Lead Them on
Trip to Start in July.
Chicago New World farmers will
add to their scientific agricultural
methods of knowledge gleaned from
a survey of old world farms on a
European tour next summer it was
announced today by officials of the
American farm bureau federation
which opens its annual convention
here tomorrow. On July 30, the 500
farmers, led by Sam II. Thompson,
president of the federation, will sail
for a tour of England, Scotland,
France. Belgium, Germany, Holland,
Denmark, and the isle of Jersey.
Routes of ordinary sightseeing tours
will be avoided, as the visitors will
get directly in touch with the tillers
of the soil.
The most efficient farm co-operative
systems in the world exist in
these countries. President Thompson
said. Among subjects to b investi
gated'are to be irrigation in Holland,
the reforestation of Germany, waste
land reclamation in Denmark, land
terracing along the Rhine, and
slaightering meat and egg packing
in Denmark.
Farm Bureau Banquet.
"Presidents and secretaries of forty
five state farm bureau federations
met tonight at a banquet. Every ef
fort of the convention will bo to
ward demanding legislative relief for
farmers. President Thompson said
in a pre-convention statement.
"For two years," hedeclared, "con
gress has been beseiged by organized
farm bodies for proper remedial legis
lation and without results. During
the past year, not only agriculture,
but industry and commerce have
come to a realization of the neces
sity of correcting the unequal bal
ance which has so greatly lessened
the power of the farmer to purchase
products of ; industry and commerce.
We hope to see much good in that
direction accomplished at thi3 con
vention." The 3,000 delegates from nearly
every state today visited the first
farm bureau agricultural exposition,
held in connection with the conven
tion. Amid the collection of farm trac
tors, washing machines, lightning
rods and whatnots, the "co-operative
cottage," model farm home, to
day attracted attention of most visi
tors. In this miniature farmhouse
the federation has tried to set a liv
ing standard in furnishings and mod
ern conveniences for all American
farms, information is provided as to
the cost of each Item in the model
home.

caused by lightning, cause annual
property loss on American farms es

BREAKS EXCLUSION RULE
Washington, Dec. 7. There is no
consistency in admitting to the United
States foreign newspapers containing
liquor advertisements and excluding
magazines printing such matter, Lin
coln C. Andrews, in charge of prohibi
tion enforcement and of the customs
service, ruled today.
He ordered the collector at St. Al
bans, Vermont, to discontinue seizure
of .such magazines, explaining that it
could not be -supposed that congress
would authorize the entry of the
newspapers while excluding the mag-
zines "of less frequency of publica
tion and less ' value as advertising
mediums."
General Andrews stipulated that
foreign magazines with liquor ads de
signed exclusively for circulation in
the United States might be seized.
