Four Drouth Modifications
cf Corn-Hog Contract.
Several notifications ot corn-hog
rulings have been made in the last
few days on account of the drouth
extending over several states in the
middle west.
Contract signers can now buy as
many feeder pigs from any one as
they care to buy providing they keep
the pigs separate from those they
farrow, or mark them so they can be
identified and also file in the county
office a statement of the purchase.
Seed from soy beans, cowpeas, for
age sorghums, millet and sudan
grass growing on contracted acres of
either corn-hog or wheat contracts
can now be harvested for seed.
Contract signers can plant as
much wheat and rye as they care to
plant this fall to use as pasture or
hay. Acreage of wheat and rye above
the base allowed by the contract is
not to be harvested as grain. If suf
ficeint moisture comes in the next
few weeks thousand of acres of Ne
braska farmsr will be seeded this
fall as a precaution against high
winds which might blow the loose
soil away. It is thought that the
modifications permitting the seeding
for pasture also covers seeding for
the prevention of wind erosion.
Crops grown on contracted acres
by tenants for feed for their own live
stock need not be divided between
the tenant and the landlord either by
money payment or division of the
crop. The modification permitting
the use of contracted acres for the
production of forage was intended
to relieve the drouth situation and
provide feed for the producers on the
farms. In case any of the forage
grown on contracted acres is sold,
however, the tenant should divide
the proceeds with the landlord in
approximately the same way he
would divide any crop grown on the
farm.
Health Contestants Chosen.
Lois Giles, Plattsmouth and Billy
Pierce, Nehawka, were the high
placing girl and boy in the 4-H coun
ty health contest, and will enter the
health contest at state fair, Mon
day. September 3rd. Six glrl3 and
three boys, all good healthy speci
mens, entered the county contest.
Style Show Elimination.
Nine 4-H club girls appeared in
a style show contest Wednesday,
August loth. Frances Rehmeier,
Weeping Water, was declared coun
ty champion and Geraldine Mickle,
Avoca, reserve champion. Each con
testant modeled in dress and under
wear made in her club project with
shoes, hose and accessories chosen by
her. Frances will enter the 4-H style
show at state fair Wednesday, Sept
ember 5th.
Cancel Dairy Cattle E Tiling
in Corn-Hog Contract.
Corn-hog contract rulings will be
modified to permit the signers to take
care of dairy cattle on a contract or
purchase basis in excess of the num
ber of dairy cows they milked in

the base period. The modification
has been made necessary on account
of the drouth and the fact that many
of the well bred dairy herds of the
state will be moved to other farms
for wintering.
In many cases the herds of dairy
cows have been built up by careful
breeding and continued cow testing
in dairy herd improvement associa
tions and it would be disastrous to
the dairy industry of the state to re
strict other corn-hog contract sign
ers who have the roughage and who
wish to winter the good herds of
dairy cattle. In signing the corn
hog contract the farmer agreed not
to increase the number of milk cows
in 1934 above the number he hand
led in the base period. At the time
of signing the contract the adjust
ment administration contemplated a
dairy program and did not want tb?
signers of one adjustment contract
to counteract the provisions of an
other adjustment program.
Altho beef cattle have been named
as a basic commodity by an act of
congress they are not considered in
the compliance of the 1934 corn-hog
program. The act of congress was
passed so late in the year that the
adjustment administration felt that
it was not fair to corn-hog contract
signers to make them restrict their
beef cattle purchases during the re
mainder of 1934. The corn-hog con
tract signer can, therefore, buy or
contract to winter as many beef cat
tle as he can handle, regardless of
his operations in the last two years.
Booth Exhibit at State Fair.
The Home Economics Council,
comprised of the countyand group
chairmen of women's project clubs,
met and made plans for a booth ex

and comfortable.
At this same meeting assignments
were made for group exhibits of
women's work, at county fair. The
chairman of each group with the as
sistance of the project leaders for
the past year will be responsible for
these exhibits. The chairmen in
clude, Mrs. R. A. Kuehn and Mrs.
Oscar Zink, Murdock; Mrs. Orill Al

Mrs. Everett Spangler, Murray and
Mrs. Albert Shelhorn, Louisville.

Need Eye for Seed.
Rye for seed is now in demand in
all parts of Nebraska where local
showers have wet the soil enough to
encourage farmers to seed. P. H
Stewart, acting on the seed stocks
committee of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture says agricultural
agents and the college of agriculture
at Lincoln are being flooded with
requests for seed rye.
Stewart and his committee have
begun to locate seed rye where it is
available over the state and will at
tempt to get sellers and buyers to
gether as rapidly as possible. Any
one In this county needing rye for
seed may report to the agricultural
agent's office within the next few
days. Arrangements will be made if
possible in this county for some par
ticular dealer or elevator to handle
this seed on a margin which will
barely cover handling charges. As
soon as thi3 is arranged, farmers
wanting seed will be referred to par
ties handling the grain.
The supply of rye for seed is rath
er scarce in the state. If anyone in
this county should happen to have
some which they would sell, other
farmers would appreciate it if those
with grain for sale would advertise
it in the newspapers or list it in the
agent's office.
Under ordinary conditions rye
makes much better fall and early
spring pasture than any other grain
which can be planted in Nebraska.
It will furnish pasture longer in the
fall, earlier in the spring, and stand
tramping in wet weather bettf-r than
wheat. A good stand of rye will also
hold the soil from blowing if the
winter should be dry and open.
Wherever the moisture is suffi
cient to bring up the grain it is prob
ably advisable to seed rye as soon as
possible. Ordinarily rye seeded in the
latter half of August makes ideal
pasture from about the 10th of Sept
ember until snow flies.
