President Roosevelt provided by proclamation Thursday night for the remonetiz ation of silver, opening" vast new mar kets both here and abroad. In a surprise proclamation and statement, carefully wtihheld until after all the nation's money markets were closed for the day, the presi dnt artified the London agreement providing for world limitation of sil-1 Total Cost of These Projects Will Be Nine More PWA Projects in State are Approved ver production and increased use of silver as money. By this action he pegged the price of new mined silver at 64.5 cents an ounce, approximately 20 cents above the world value. Prior to this pro clamation the government was forced by law to pay $1.29 an ounce, a price which strangled the domestic mar ket. Maintain 1G-1 Ratio. In his proclamation the president made clear the 16 to 1 ration be tween gold and silver was to be main tained, at least for the time being. At present the gold dollar ha3 23.02 grains and the silver dollar 371 J,i grains. The president's action wa3 greet ed by Senator Key Pittman and other legislators who have been advocating some such move with jubilation. They predicted that not only would the silver market here be enormous ly improved but that exports would increase tremendously. In connection with the nation's money system the president has con cerned himself chtifly until now with gold. His policy i3 fixed for the time being as to gold and so at last he turned his full attention to silver. Under the London agreement he ratified, the president set the price cf silver at 64.5 cents an ounce and committed the government to buy all silver offered which is mined in the United States or its possessions after the date cf the proclamation. Such silver production last year was ap proximately 24,000,000 ounces. In a statement accompanying the proclamation the president said he understood other countries concern ed in the agreement would soon ratify it, following in the footsteps cf the United States and India, the first to ratify. lie said the proclamation opened the American mint3 to the coinage of standard silver dollars from Amer ican mines, subject to certain condi tions. These are that the depositors of sil ver surrendering to government one- half of its seignoir age and to cover all usual charges and expenses. In other words, cf all the silver bought by the government at the newly peg ged price, half will be turned into coinage and the other half will be deposited in the treasury vaults. Hailed by Many. Although Thursday's action was hailed by many a3 a long step toward improving the status of silver as a commodity, it failed to satisfy the more radical money experts who con- $322,0S6; Bellevue School Is Included.

Neitzel Murdock, Nebr. ffl fa Corn Hoj Program. Land taken out of corn under the corn-hog reduction contract in 1934 may be sown to additional permanent pasturefi planted to soil improving and erosion preventing crops not to be harvested, allowed to rest in sum mer fallow, cultivated to kill weeds, or planted to farm woodlots. The administrative ruling just re leased in connection wiih the corn hog reduction contract is interpreted by the Nebraska administrative offi cials to mean that farnieis will be al lowed to seed alfalfa or clover on the land taken out of corn. The only string attached is that no crop can be harvested from the first year alfalfa or clover in 1934. Some farmers will take advantage of the weed control provision by going alter patches of morning glories, tan weed and similar weeds with duck foot shovel3 or cultivators. Benefit payments from the corn-hog contract will help finance the weed control measures. What to do with land taken out of wheat and corn under the wheat and corn-hog reduction contracts has been puzzling Nebraska farmers for some time. Cox, in charge cf that problem for the Triple A organization in Washington, has been asked to dis cuss the topic Wednesday afternoon, January 3, at Organized Agriculture, lie will speak at a joint session of crop growers and livestock breeders associations meeting at the agricul tural college. One Important quetIon which will be put to Cox while he u in Lincoln will be what a man can do with land on which wheat winter kills. Such land g3nerally goes into corn late in May. Ccx will be asked if a farmer who plants corn on winter killed wheat gorund, which is already sign ed up under a wheat contract, vio lates his corn-hog reduction contract by thu3 Increasing his corn acreage.
