During the time this was stored in the granaries of the grain companies Warehouses, they received one cent per bushel for each thirty days as storage, then during the interval be tween the time of storage and the present the grain was again resold to the grain company at an average of 48 cents per bushel.

Report Stresses Farm Advance in Electricity Past Decade Shown to Have Wit nessed Revolution in Agricul ture, Committee Reports f'hicagfj A decidedly constructive side to the agricultural picture of the past decade is stressed in a re port just puhlished by the Commit tee on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture, in which tremendous strides of the American farmer dur ing the past l't years in applying electricity to farming are told. Kven in 1930, when conditions on the farms were doubtlessly at their worst. f(i,i)fio farms were electrified, making the greatest annual increase on record, according to the report. "On Jan. 1. 1924. only 166,159. or 2.61 per cent of the farms of the United States had high line service," it states. "On Jan. 1. 1931. there were in excess of 640,000 farms, or over 10 per cent with high line ser vice. The power used per farm has also increase decidedly. Much of this Increase is attributable to the devel opment of new uses for electricity on the farm. "The period of agricultural de pression," the report finds, "has brought about a decided trend to ward large scale and power farming. Reduced returns have stimulated ef forts to lower costs. New standards, new applications of power, new ma chinery, lower prices, the pooling of management, electricity all indi cate changes and readjustments within the industry." This, the rc- port stat foundation is all helping to lay the for "a new science of agriculture." Agencies of many kinds, it is said, have set to work earnestly to work out new applications of electricity to farming. These include 493 active projects in colleges, universities and the United States Department of Agriculture, lis undertakings of an investigatituial nature by Utilities and commercial concerns, 39 in private laboratories. As a means of correlating the vari ous studies of application of elec tricity to the farm, the committee urges establishment of a farm elec trlcification research council. Such a council, it is proposed, "should be made up of one research representa tive from each of the following groups: United States Department of Agricultural, agricultural econom ists, agricultural engineers, electri cal manufacturers, committee on the re lation of electricity to agriculture , and National Electric Light Associa tion. The report was compiled by Oeorge W. Kable. director of research for the committee on relation of elec tricity to agricultuer. whose opera tions are financed by the National Electric light Association, and in dorsed by the American Farm Bu reau Federation. National Grange, and other farm organizations.

Closing of the open season pheas ants in Nebraska counties as an aid in the war on hoppers vras advocat ed Wednesday by Deputy Secretary Dwight F Iton of the state depart ment of agriculture. If hunters i re kept from killing off the birds this fall, Felton believes, the young i. will eat many of the hoppers lati this fall and next year. Ilor, dry weather during the fali was given as the reason for the great numbers of hoppers which were hatched this year. Adult hoppers de posit their eggs during the fall. Reports reaching the office of Fe;l ton have told of the work of pheas ants, particularly the younger birds, in exterminating the grasshoppers. One farmer of Custer county, opened the crop of a young bird after he had hit it with his car on the high way. The pheasant had eaten seven teen grasshoppers, one cricket and a quantity of alfalfa. For Closed Season. "I want to go on record as in favor of closing the season on pheasants in all Nebraska counties." Felton said Wednesday. He believes far mers should be looking ahead to an other year of grasshopper wars. Frank O'Connell. head of the state game, parks and forestation commis sion, said the commission would be willing to co-operate in closing the pheasant season if counties wished that action. "It is up to the individual coun ties of the state," O'Connell said. "We are glad to hear of the bene fletilal things the pheasants are do ing, in view of some complaints that the pheasant was a graineater." O'Connell said he had heard that young pheasants were eating great numbers of the hoppers. Twenty-three counties of the state held open seasons on pheasants last year. O'Connell estimated the num ber of birds killed during the ope n season at 150,000. Phone your Job Printing order to No. 6. Prompt service.

Druggists S Plattsmouth, Nebraska TO TAG BASS AND CATFISH Uass and catfish that frequent Ne braska lakes and streams will be tagged, starting this fall, Frank O'Connell. head of the state game, parks and forestation commission, announced Wednesday. Tiny metal tags, bearing the name "Nebraska" and a serial number will be placed on 10,000 catfish and baa to be planted in Nebraska streams and lakes in the fall. Only nursery stock will he so marked. The tag is clipped to the gill of the fish. Tagging of fish will be tried in order accurately to determine the rate of growth of fish, suitability of Jiahitat. age of fish and various fish habits. When a fisherman makes a catch of a tagged fish it is plan ned to have him report the catch to the office of the state commission, giving the serial number of the tag. A record of the date of planting that fish, and the place where it was planted, will he available. Michigan, O'Connell says, is nly other state that has tried tagging system extensively. the the In this state, the tagged fish will he planted at various Btreams and lakes probably in ten different lots. SHOT BY MISSION WORKER Shanghai Carl D. Menihardt, American consul at Tsinanfu. has proceeded to Tehchow. northwest Shantung province, to investigate the fatal shooting July 11 of a Chinese by Dr. Francis T. Tucker, head of the American board of missions hospital at Tehchow. Early reports indicated Tucker, a missionary in China for twenty-nine years, shot the man be lieving him to be a robber. The vic tim died a few hours later. Altho the Chinese press asserted Tucker wouhl be tried in the Chinese courts, this was not considered likely, inasmuch as the Chinese government does not claim the right to prosecute foreign ers in the Chinese courts prior to January. 1932. The case, therefore, probably will fall under American consular jurisdiction as heretofore. Headquarters of Tucker's mission is in Boston. STEAMER LINE IS IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE Portland. Ore.
