Farm Costs
Rising as In
come Goes Up
June 15 Study Shows Operation of
Recovery Legislation in Regard
to Comparative Prices.
The partment of agriculture has
just Issued statistics for the first
half of last month. These say, in
effect :
"The inflation is booming up the
prices of what the farmers buy as
fast or faster than the prices of what
he sells."
During the first half of June the
period covered by the study prices
to the farmer rose two points and
prices which he paid rose three. In
other words, on June 15, the farmer
received 64 per cent of the basic pre
war price for what he sold, whereas
he paid 103 per cent of the pre-war
price for what he bought.
Boht of these figures are expected
to be higher when the next summary
is made. Some observers say a race
has started in the two columns to
see which can climb the fastest with
the federal industrial rcovery and
the agricultural adjustment acts set
ting the pace. Most udents agree that
unless the farm column figures win
or run a dead heat, the farmer will
be the "also ran."
Finds Little Enthusiasm.
Few farmers in Nebraska are will
ing to bet on their side at the present
time, according to L.. S. Herron, editor
of the Nebraska Union Farmer, and
A. C. Millington, manager of insur
ance activities of the Nebraska
Farmers union.
Millington, who has just return
ed from an extended tour in western
Nebraska during which he attended
several farmers' meetings, said,
"There is vivid contrast in the way
the Nebraska farmer is looking at the
present program to his enthusiasm
over the government's previous at
tempt to peg the price of wheat. In
this trip I found only one man who
was enthusiastic over the present
program."
KERGE "POTASH" PRECINCT
Gordon, Neb., July 5. Iloffland
precinct, center of the war time pot
ash boom, has been wiped off the map.
The Sheridan county board this week
(merged the precinct with Reno pre
cinct in which the remains of the
boom town of Antioch are situated.
The action followed discovery that
SI 10 taxes assessed in the precinct
were balanced almost exactly by the
expense of the assessment.
Two potasli plants costing 2 mil
lion dollars apiece were built in Hoff
land precinct after the war had cut
off America's potash source in Eur
ope. The fertilizer was obtained from
the alkaline lakes in this region. An
tioch thrived on the business and
1,200 to 1,300 pecple crowded within
its limits. But the boom died when
cheap European potash floated into
American ports again after the war.
Now a few piles of brick mark the
sites of the plants.
In Antiocn only a hundred persons
still live and much land once with
in the town limits has been sold for
taxes and merged with adjacent
ranches. The potash center is just
another cow town now.

Our Funeral ,
Home
IN planning our funeral home,
we desired to provide a place
where the funeral service, and
the necessary preliminaries to
it, may be conducted with the
greatest efficiency and comfort
in the quiet, dignified atmos
phere of a home.
WE believe that we have
achieved this. The use of our

Governor Bryan Outlines Program to
Northeastern Nebraska
Delegation.
Northeastern Nebraska's delega
tions to the state's recuperating gov
ernor Thursday carried home pros
pects of more road work and expen
diture of remaining available state
funds in the fight against grasshop
pers. To the plea of State Senator
Andersen of Bristow for additional
supplies of poison bran for the grass
hopper war, Governor Bryan prom
ised if the poison was not needed
elsewhere in a few days, another car
would ba bought from the dwindling
funds. Only about 54,000 is left to
fight insects for two years.
"He told us he'd use it if neces
sary, and take a chance on next
year," Andersen said, after the con
ference. Bryan also sketched to a
northeastern group headed by Ander
sen and Representative Siringfellow
of Oakdale, his recommendations for
the federal road program in the
northeast. They wanted No. 6 west
of Norfolk and the road from Elgin
to Bartlett improved.
"They found," Bryan said, "we
already had listed more roads in their
territory under the proposed federal
program than they even thought of
asking."
To a delegation . led by Senator
Kunkel of Albion, however, the gov
ernor brought disappointment. It
asked for a road from ePtersburg
east in Boone county but the gover
nor said it was not, eligible for state
or federal aid because not properly
designated.

Berlin. His intention of largely
maintaining a hands-off policy in the
church situation in Germany was
Dean of Chichester, who came here
disclosed by Chancellor Hitler to the
to investigate German Protestantism
under the nazi regime. His only con
cern, the chancellor told him, would
be to oppose a multiplicity of churches
so that he would have only one re
sponsible Protestant organizations to
deal with.
Adherents of Von Bodlchwingh
Tuesday demanded a threepoint pro
gram, including freedom of the
church press, use of the broadcast
by non-nazis and restoration of sus
pended church officials. The nazi
German-Christians, who in May op
posed the election of Von Bodlsch
wingh as the First Evangelical
reich's bishop, replied Wednesday
with a demand that 70 percent of
all local, district and national church
councils must be nazis. (The Ger
man Christians supported Mueller
as their candidate for Evangelical
reich's bishop, maintaining that a
nazi should hold the post). State
