LUCKEY COMMENTS ON
WEEK IN WASHINGTON
By HENRY C. LUCKEY,
1st Dist., Nebr.
Washington, March 16.
Dear Friends:
The approaching spring planting
makes it imperative that the Federal
Feed and Seed Loans bo made immed
lately. Those of us who have been
the most interested in this work have
been trying to expedite these loans in
every way possible. Here is the situ
ation as it exists today: Some time
ago the house and senate passed an
enabling act which provided for
$60,000,000 to be used for feed and
seed loans in the drouth states. This
act was signed by the president after
considerable delay. It was then ne
cessary to pass an appropriation for
this amount. It was included in the
deficiency appropriation bill which
passed the house March 13th. It is
now necessary for the senate to pass
that bill and for the president to
sign it. making it effective. The set
up for these loans is now ready and
the disbursement of the funds can
proceed immediately after the bill
becomes law. AVe are trying to. fore
stall any possible delay that-might
arise.
I will comment only briefly on the
other legislation of the. past week.
The Public "Works deadlock in the
senate now seems to have. been brok
en. A compromise was effected
which was satisfactory to the admin
istration leaders. Several points still
remain to be discussed by the senate,
and then the house will be called to
pass upon the senate amendments.
The Home Owners Loan Corpor
ation has been granted authority to
make an additional bond issue of
$1,750,000,000. The terms have been
somewhat liberalized.
The Agriculture Department ap
propriation bill has passed the house.
The chief feature of the appropria
tion is that it is a little over $200,-
000,000 less than for the past year.
This was chiefly due to the non-recurring
expense features of the AAA.
The Jones bill, H. R. 5585, known
as the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration amendment bill, is now
under discussion in the house com-
QUTTS THE GREEK CABINET
Athens. John Metaxas resigned
from the Greek cabinet as a result of
a disagreement with' Premier Pana
yoti Tsaldaris, leading to the belief
important government changes are
in prospect. Metaxas, an ardent roy
alist, was minister without portfolio,
and assumed the war ministry dur
ing the recent revolt when Gen.
George Kondylis took the field. Met
axas issued a statement saying the
leniency of Premier Tsaldaris made
his presence in the cabinet "unneces
sary." It was assumed he had ref
erence to the trial of rebel .officers
under court martial, now in progress.

mittee on agriculture. Just what
modifications and recommendations
will be made by that committee are
not known. They may vitally affect
the bill as it now stands. This bill
has drawn a lot of opposition from
the people of the First District of
Nebraska, and for that reason I want
to make some comments upon it.
There are three chief features of
the bill. 1. It provides minor admin
istrative changes. No great opposi
tion has risen on this part of the bill.
2. It empowers the secretary to issue
licenses to all processors, associations
of producers, and others engaged in
the handling of any agricultural com
modity or product thereof, or any
competing commodity or product
thereof, in the current of or in com
petition with or so as to burden, ob
struct, or in any way affect inter
state or foreign commerce, which
provide that such handling be en
gaged in by the licensee only upon
the terms and conditions not in con
flict with existing acts of congress or
regulations pursuant thereto. 3. It
empowers the secretary to enter into
marketing agreements with the hand
lers cf agricultural commodities and
throws open the books of the parties
to the marketing agreements.
The bill has been vigorously at
tacked as giving the secretary too
much power and that it would regi
ment the processors and handlers of
agricultural products. Czarism is the
frequent complaint. A number of ob
jections could be raised, and are
raised, by the opponents of the bill.
There is one great advantage tha.
should be pointed out.
If marketing agreements were
worked out and entered into by all
the processors and handlers of agri
cultural commodities it would mean
that they would be forced into open
ing their books for'inspection by the
Secretary of Agriculture. For ex
ample, take the case of the big pack
ing interests in the meat industry.
They have consistently refused to al
low their books to be submitted to
the Secretary of Agriculture hence
there ha3 been no marketing agree
ment. The complaint has been con
sistently raised that there is too large
a spread between the price paid to
the farmer and the price paid by the
consumer. Supporters of this bill
point out that if the spread in price
is not due to the excessive profits of
the packers then the packer would
have, nothing to fear. If, on the oth
er hand, the spread is due to the
packer, then his books would be dam
aging evidence against him. The
same thing applies to many of the
processors Included in this bill.
When the bill comes in its final
form a fair estimate of the relative
values can be given. I shall be glad
to hear your views on this bill. It
directly affects you and you have the
right to be heard. It is your duty to
make your opinions known.
One last word. The Frazier-Lemke
farm refinancing bill is about to be
taken up by the house agriculture
committee. Sentiment in the agri
cultural states grows increasingly in
favor of this bill. It is now highly
probable that some action will be
taken in this session of congress.

Chief of Corn-Hog Sec
tion at Grand Island.
The Cass county corn-hog allot
ment committee, C. D. Fulmer, J. L.
Stamp, Marion Stone, and D. D.
Wainscott, attended a meeting of all
Nebraska allotment committeemen
and agricultural agents at Grand Is
land Wednesday, March 20th, to
hear Claude R. Wickard, chief of the
corn-hog section.
Mr. Wickard recently made head
of the largest of the AAA adjustment
programs, is an Indiana farmer and
hog raiser. He has been the assist
ant to Dr. A. G. Black since the corn
hog program started. This was hi3
first appearance before Nebraska
corn-hog contract signers. Being a
farmer, he has always had the view
point of a farmer in working with
the problems connected with the
corn-hog contracts.
Many of the problems that have
arisen on the 1935 program were dis
cussed with Mr. Wickard at this
meeting. The Cass county committee
men were very much impressed with
Mr. Wickard. They feel that he is
very much concerned with the farm
er's problems and farmers can be as
sured that they are well represented
in Washington.

Hand Made Toys.
A useful and most interesting
bulletin lias just been published, by
the Extension Service, entitled, "Toys
You Can Make." This bulletin gives
suggestions mainly for toys for
younger children, however some may
be adapted for older children. Many
of these toys may be made of ma
terials available in the average
home. ' Most children find real en

Will Organize Sheep Clu'j.
A meeting will be held at the home
of Milford Smith in Weeping Water,
Friday evening, March 22nd at 7:30
to organize a 4-II Fheep club. Anyone
interested in joining a sheep club and
who has an ewe is welcome to come
to the meeting and join the club if
they wish to. The sheep club proj
ect calls for one or more eyes bred
to a mutton ram." The club member
cares for the ewes until the lambs
are weaned and for the lambs- until
they are marketed. The project cov
ers a ninety day period and records
are kept during the project.
23rd Annual Feeders Day, April 18,
The twenty-third annual Feeder's
Day which always attracts statewide
attention, will be held on the Ne
braska College of Agriculture campu3
in Lincoln on Thursday, April 18th.
As many Cass county farmers who
find it possible, are urged to attend.
Although no definite program for
the day has been worked out as yet,
we do know that Jerry Thorne, of
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics, and H. P. Rusk, head of the
Animal Husbandry Department of the
University of Illinois are two out of
the state speakers.
One hundred and twenty head of
experimental cattle will be on dis
play throughout the day. A test with
various protein supplements and oth
er experiments with grainless silage,
limited corn rations and sex and age
studies will probably attract consid
erable attention. Horses will be on
exhibition also.
