Nebraska's slice of the 54,880,000,000 emergency relief fund already has reached J42.164.529 and this sum will be increased by a share of allotments yet to come. The state is expected to receive substan tial allotments from the resettlement administration, the rural electrifica tion administration and the national youth administration, as well as fur ther direct relief funds. Since the government began dip ping into the New York relief fund for direct relief last April, it has sent 56,970,391 to Nebraska. President Roosevelt has allocated 57,514,929 out of the new fund for PWA proj ects in Nebraska, of which 54,500,000 Is a grant to the Tri-County power anu irrigation project. He also has allocated 54,768,562 to the Nebraska WPA progress ad ministration program, 59,409,362 for highways and grade crossing elimin ation, 52.000,000 for the Omaha north side housing project, and 511.500,785 for other federal activities. Chief among the other federal activities are the CCC, for which 56,174,706 was set aside for Nebraska, and the navi gation development on the ' Missouri river, for which the state's share is - 54,464,000. The more than 542,000,000 already allocated does not indicate the size of the construction program which will result. In the case of the Tri-County project, for example, the government is putting up another 55,500,000 in the form of a loan from the old PWA revolving fund. In each case the PWA contribution from the new fund represents only 45 percent of the cost, and the agencies receiving the grants must put up or borrow the other 55 percent. PLEASANT HEDGE CLUB The Pleasant Ridge project club met October Sth at the home of Mrs. Fred Guenther. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Will Renner. Two members were absent. The project leaders, Mrs. Norman Renner and Mrs. Hugo Meisinger, gave an interesting demonstration on the different vgetable dishes which were served with the lunch prepared by the hostess. The next meeting will be October 29 at the home of Mrs. Max Burmeis ter. NEWS REPORTER.

Harney C219 3202 Poppleton Manley Gleanings By the Journal Field Man The Journal will appreciate the I giving of news items of interest to its representative by our read- j ers on his weekly visit to Manley. j Ray Reynolds and wife of south ern Kansas arrived in Manley the first of last week for a short visit with friends and relatives. Robert Ellison and family moved to Manley last week and are now oc cupying the Fleischman house just south of where Fred Fleischman re sides. Virtus Haws, who has been here for several weeks, departed on last Wednesday for Clay Center, Kansas, where he will work on the farm for some time. Teddy Harms and wife were over to Talmage a week ago last Sunday, where they enjoyed a fine visit and a most pleasant trip, as the day was ideal for motoring. Mrs. Emma Andrus is having her house painted and put in excellent condition in anticipation of the com ing wintry blasts that are hard on all unprotected surfaces. Rex Peters, who is engaged in the Implement business in Greenwood, was a visitor in Manley for a short time one day last week, calling on his friend, Oscar McDonald. Edward Scheehan, who is employ ed at Falls City with the Missouri Pacific, was visiting for a few days with the folks at Manley and with j the parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Sheehan. Mrs. Harold Schliefert, who has been at the Immanuel hospital in Omaha for some time past, was so far recovered that she was able to re turn home Sunday, and has since been making good improvement. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Steinkamp arrived in Manley last Wednesday evening Just before.the rain and were visiting at the home of the mother of Herbert for a few days. They are making their home in Kansas. John A. Stander and party depart ed last Saturday for Chambers in the northern portion of the state, where they arrived early Sunday morning and enjoyed a very fine pheasant hunt. We will have to await their return to give the results. George and William Rau have been working on the farm building fence and doing other work and Mrs. Rau has been looking after business at the bank. The boys had to make a quick run to get in before the rain storm Wednesday afternoon. Herman Rauth and Theo Harms departed last Saturday for Arthur and Sheridan counties, where they went to hunt pheasants and ducks. They have friends there and were looking forward to a most pleasant viBit as well as hunting trip. Enjoyed Pleasant Visit Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wilte were surprised when two brothers, one of them the twin brother of Ralph, came for a visit. The twin brother came from David City, where he resides, and the other brother comes from the state of Connecticut. They 'were all well pleased at the opportunity of be ing together, even if only for a short time. Many Attended Ball Game A large number of the baseball fans of Manley went to Omaha last Monday evening, where they attend ed the game between the Kansas City Monarchs, a fast colored aggregation, and a picked Omaha team augmented with Pitchers Bridges and Rowe and Gehringer, members of the world champion Detroit team. They enjoy ed the game and the opportunity of seeing the boys from the big leagues in action, although the Omaha team with which they played lost to the colored boys from Kansas City. Injured Knee Severely While Fred Fleischman was chas ing an obstreperous cow about the place a week ago, in some manner he injured his knee and has been in a poor condition for getting about. He is compelled to use a cane to get about and stand on one foot at the chair in the barber shop. However, he is getting along much better at this writing and is well pleased at being able to be about his work.

Rural school teachers Have a won derful opportunity to organize 4-H clubs in thiir schools, correlating the work carried in the 4-H club with their regular studies, and giving the children all the benefits of practicing parliamentary drill while conducting their own business meetings. 4-l j iveep-wen, weea, mx-it, oc mncn and Farm Account projects are es pecially well suited to suplement school work. Five members, with a local leader in charge (the teacher may very well be the leader) are all that is neces sary to form a 4-H club. The Hot Lunch project is design ed to teach the children sow to act as housekeepers, cooks and bookkeep ers and essentially to maintain good health by having warm dishes pre pared for their noon meal at school. First year Keep-Well club members keep a record of health and food hab its for at least ten weeks, and height and weight during the project. Weed club members learn to identify com mon weeds of Nebraska and how to eradicate them. Fix-It club members are taught to "fix" things, that is repair equipment, home furnishings, etc. and to men clothing, are taught accident and fire prevention and pest eradication. Each individual earns credits, so many points being given for each bit of "fix-it" work he does. Recreation Is also stressed In the "Fix-It" club which makes It a popu Iar project and one well suited to a group of school children. If interested in organizing a 4-H cluu within your school get in touch with the Extension Agents or write for application blanks, and material and instructions will be mailed. Prussic Acid Poisoning. Utilization of frosted forage crops is causing quite a problem with Cass county farmers this year. As a result the universal question is: Is there danger involved in feeding these for ages which frosted but failed to ma ture? Prof. H. J. Gramlich, chairman of the animal husbandry department at the Nebraska college of agricul ture, says that the usual practice at the college is to put frosted crops In silos. Opening of the silo is deferred until time has been permitted for a proper degree of fermentation. Where this practice has been followed, no bad results have ever resulted from feeding of ensilage made from frosted cane or sorgo crops. Poisoning by cane prepared as en silage has not been reported to Dr. L. Van Es, chairman of the animal pathology department of the Univer sit yof Nebraska. Prussic acid form ing capacities of plants, he says, will be gradually diminished by the sour ing and fermentative processes which take place within the silo. Experi ments have shown this takes time and that cane ensilage should not be fed until all fermentation has been com pleted and that like cane or sudan grass hay should, by preference, be fed during the latter part of the hay or ensilage feeding period. Cass county farmers can get fur ther information about the feeding of such frosted crops which failed to ma ture by getting copies of special cir culars Just issued by Dr. L. Van Es and Prof. H. J. Gramlich. Both are available at the Farm Bureau office. Horse Bots and Botflies. Horse bots are the maggots or grubs of botflies, which are common ly known to many farmers as nitfties or gadflies. Three kinds are common in Nebraska, and although they re semble each other in appearance and life history, theirhabits differ consid erably. All have the four stages com monly found !n the life of cycle of flies and similar insects. First of these is the adult botfly of late spring, summer and early fall. Second is the egg which is found glued to the hairs of the horse throughout late spring, summer and the entire fall. Third is the grub or bot, found in the stomach and intestines of the horse through out most of the year, and fourth is the pupal stage found in the soil dur ing the spring, summer and early fall, t usually changes to the adult fly in a few weeks. While these stages over lap greatly and thus render control difficult throughout most of the year, theinsects are in such condition dur ing late fall and through about two thirds of the winter that control measures may be used very effective ly. The three kinds of botfly are: Common Botfly, Throat or Chin Bot fly and Nose Botfly. Throughout the summer botflies are very annoying to horses and mules. Although they ap parently cause no pain by their egg laying activities, their hovering.

Animals on pasture, when an noyed by the pests usually crowd to gether and try to shield their heads, or scatter to different parts of the pasture in an effort to escape. The nose botfly is a much more serious pest than the others, as animals fre quently become frantic from its at tacks. Horses and mules attacked by it often rub their noses and lips on fence posts, barbed wire or other sharp objects until those parts are bleeding and sometimes badly in jured. Bots, when present in large num bers ,are likely to do more or less serious damage to the horse, n rare cases, death may be caused by perfor ations of the walls of the stomach or rupture of that organ when excep tionally large numbers of bots are present. Some horses seem to be sub ject to frequent attacks of colic when badly infested by bots. A heavily in fested animal fails to get the full value of the food consumed, and is quite likely to present a rough-hair, ed, unthrifty appearance. Badly in fested animals often lack normal en durance and may fail to stand up well under the strain of steady hard work. Carbon bisulphide has proved to be an effective remedy for bots. Not only is it highly effective but is com paratively cheap, and when adminis tered by a competent veterinarian there is very little danger attached to its use. Its use is increasing rap idly, and each pear many thousands of horses and mules are treated with it with uniformly satisfactory results Even in cases where the work is done only on individual farms, the results indicate that benefits are many times greater than the cost. Best results are secured by treating during De cember and January, but results are quite satisfactory throughout Febru prey. For further information call or write the Farm Bureau office. HAEPEE SAYS HE IS GUILTY Sioux Falls, S. D. Francis Virgil Harper eliminated a possible death sentence for himself when he entered a plea of guilty in federal court here when araigned on a charge of bank robbery in which hostages were tak en. Harper was alleged to have taken part with Tom Limerick, Maurice Denning and Earl Keeling in the rob bery of the First National bank of Dell Rapids, S. D., last Nov. 7. Under the act of May 18, 1934, bank robbers who take hostages are punishable by death if the jury con victing them so directs. Without such direction the penalty becomes not less than ten years and up to life in pris on. Sentence of iTarper was deferred by Judge A. Lee Wpman to a later date. Harper was rought here from Leavenworth penitentiary, where he has been serving a fifteen year term for robbery of a Superior, Neb., bank.

Filley, Bnral Economics Department of State University Reviews Present Sitnation. Lincoln. Manufacturing has ex panded at more than seasonal rate since July, states the report of Prof. H. C. Filley of the state university. Retail sales were higher in Septem ber than in September, 1934. Week ly freight car loading has advanced to the highest level since 1931. Steel ingot production is about 51 per cent of capacity and lumber pro duction has increased. The number j of unemployed persons remains large but somewhat smaller than last year. Business forecasts are for better busi ness during the last three months of the year than during the last three months of 1934. Not all Nebraska farmers, how ever, are as optimistic over the win ter outlook as the men who forecast business trends for the entire coun try. In parts of the state where corn is short, many farmers believe they will have less money available for taxes and other necessary expenses than in the winter of 1934-35. Be cause of the shortage of feed last year, many farmers were compelled to sell a large part of their productive livestock. They spent the money re ceived for this stock during the win ter. They produced very little grain this year and have no more capital goods that can be sold if they are to continue farming. Forage is plenti ful but they have no stock to which it can be fed and the 6ale price is low. The effects of the 1934 drouth will be felt for many years. The crop reporting board estimates the total wheat crop of the United States at 599,000,000 bushels for 1935 or 102,000,000 bushels greater than in 1934 but about 82 per cent of the 5-year average, 1910-14. Es timates of wheat needed for flour, seed and feed, for poultry and other livestock vary from as low as 600 million bushels to as high as C50 million bushels. Apparently more bushels will be required for consump tion this year than was produced. Production, plus carry-over provides a sufficient., amount to supply our needs until the 1936 crop start to market. Despite the fact that the 1935 pro duction plus a modest carry-over gives us as many bushels of wheat as would normally be consumed, it is probable that considerable amounts will have to be imported. This im portation over a tariff barrier of 42 cents per bushel is explained by the poor quality of much of this year's crop. Black rust and unseasonable weather prevented the grain from maturing properly. Most of this low grade wheat could be used for feed If necessity required, but in all prob ability part of it will be fed and some high grade wheat imported for milling. With the 1935 corn crop estimated at 2,213,000,000 bushels, it is gen erally believed that because of the great reduction in numbers of live stock to be fattened that the crop will be ample for needs. The 1935 oats and barley crop are both large and the use of barley as a feed crop has been increased materially since pre-war years. The U. S. Department of Agri culture estimates production of feed grains plus carry-over will give a feed grain supply about 13 per cent below the 1926-33 average. The number of units of grain consuming animals and poultry are considerably reduced, however, so there should be slightly more than the usual supply of feed grain per unit of livestock. Egg and poultry prices are more satisfactory than prices of most other farm products. The average price of eggs in September for the five years, 1909-13, was 20.5 cents. For Sept ember, 1935, it was 26.4 cents. Par ity price would have been 27.8 cents. The average September price of poul try for the five pre-war years was 11.6 cents per pound. The Septem ber, 1935, average price was 15.4 cents or nearly 1 cent per pound above parity. Creamery butter production was less by about 2 per cent in the first eight months of 1935 than during the first eight months of 1934. Ap parent consumption was 8.7 per cent less. Cheese production from Jan uary to August, inclusive, was about 3 per cent less than a year ago but increased In August. Consumption was more . than 3 per cent greater during these same months and stor age stocks of cheese have decreased. Butter prices are approximately the same as a year ago but more than 6 cents per pound below parity. The price 6f cheese Is also below parity. Phone the news to no. 6.
