PAGE SIX PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOTTENAL MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1926. Pheasant Shoot ing Area Greatly Cut This Year Open Territory Cut Down to 36 Coun ties to Permit Birds to De stroy Grasshoppers. The state game commission in its monthly meeting set the open season for pheasant shooting for this year. The commission fixed a season of eight days, opening on Oct. 25 to Nov. 1 inclusive. The shooting hours be ing from 7 a. m. to C p. iik each day. The bag limit was reduced to four birds, one only of which may be a hen. The restriction in bag and posseession limit and days for the open season was made in response to demands from over the state occa sioned by the severe drouth condi tions which have prevailed during the year. The 3G counties and part of two other counties which are open terri tory this year were included in the open area last year when a total of 72 counties were open. 'There was a drastic reduction in the open territory," said Chairman J. B. Douglas. "This reduction was occasioned also by the drouth and was in keeping with the request of farmers from over the state that the open territory be limited on account of the grasshopper infestation, it be ing urged that the pheasants would do much toward the destruction of the grasshopper plague." Counties Opened. On reports from the conservation officers and on recommendation from various sportsmen and sportsmen's organizations and after careful con sideration the following counties were opened for shooting this fall: Scotts Bluff. Banner, Kimball, Morrill. Cheyenne. Garden, Deuel, Grant, Arthur. Keith. Perkins, Chase, Dundy, Hooker, McPherson, Lincoln, Hayes. Hitchcock, Thomas. Logan, Keya Paha. Brown, Rock, Boyd, Holt, Knox, Antelope, Pierce, Madison, Cedar. Wayne. Stanton. Dixon, Cum ing. Dakota, Thurston. And that portion south of govern ment ditch in Sioux county. And the following precincts in Cherry county: Pleasant Hill, Goose Creek and Elsmere. The areas opened are the most heavily stocked sections in the state. "It must not be understood," said Douglas, "that there is a short crop of pheasants this year. Quite the contrary is true. One of the heaviest crops in recent years has been raised, yet the commission found it advis able to close some counties with the thought of aiding the farmer in his fight against grasshopper destruc tion. The commission urges as many people as possible buy permits as the added money raised will be used to feed and carry over breeding stock in drouth areas."

Farley, na tional Democratic chairman, on the pro-Roosevelt program sponsored bv the sports committee of which Dempsey is president- Railroads Cut Freight Rates as a Drouth Aid Permission Given to Make Big Slash in Feeding Tariffs and a Cut in Live Stock Charges. Applications were filed with the railway commission Friday by all of the railroads operating in Nebraska asking authority to cut rates on hay and roughage feeds and also on live stock on shipments within the states. The commission granted the author ity without delay. The companies say that in order to avoid any complications with the states and possibly the interstate com merce commission, where charges of discrimination might be lodged, they are cancelling all existing drouth rates and substituting new ones. These are being put into effect on the authority of general powers granted by the federal commission that permit them to make rates for charitable and benevolent purposes. The rates will apply on shipments affecting drouth-designated counties, of which there were 65 when the ap plication was drawn. Rates on hay and roughage are cut from 33 1-3 to 50 percent of the normal rates. These cover a variety of roughage stuff, in cluding ensilage, corn stalks, beet tops, cobs and straws. In order to prevent exploitation for commercial purposes, it is provided that the shipments shall be sent to designated state or federal represent atives, which will generally mean the committee created in each county. It is believed that this will eliminate personal favoritism or unlawful use of the feed. A list of the committees is asked for. In this way it is hoped to save the foundation herds in the states. Livestock rates will not apply to designated public markets, and will be 85 percent of the normal commer cial rate, to feeding points, with a minimum of $15 per "Car. The priv ilege of returning the the livestock to the original shipping point will be open until Sept. 30, 1337, with the rate 15 percent of the normal. In ef fect this is an offer to carry livestock at half rates.

Standley was a visitor in Lincoln Tuesday of last week, going for a truck load of goods for the store. Park Otte was a visitor in Weep ing Water last Tuesday, being a guest of his friend, John E. Johnson, and also looking after some busi ness matters here. Miss Myrtle Woods and Mrs. Hen rietta Lawton were at Weeping Wat er last Tuesday, where they did some shopping during the forenoon and also visited with friends. William Stander and wife, former residents of this vicinity, but who have been away for a number of years, are visiting with friends in Cass county and spent several days at the home of Mr. and Mrs II. II. Gerbeling, with whom they have been close friends for many years. Frank Marshall, who lives at Weeping Water, but works on a farm and does trucking for the farmers of this part of the county, was over last Tuesday, delivering corn from the farm of Frank Bergman to the Manley elevator, where the price has been especially good, selling as high as $1.14 a bushel during a portion of the week. Enjoyed Visit in Missouri Messrs C. I. Mattick and Carl L. Hansen, who have been seeing the "Show Me" state of Missouri during the past ten days, returned home the first of last week, having visited a great many places of interest during their trip. They were at the lake of the Ozarks, where they enjoyed fish ing and were particularly pleased with the scenery around the lake, where many people were camping out during the hot weather. They visited in the southern portion of the state at Springfield and other points, including Popular Bluffs, and saw much country, some good and some bad. Spending Ten Days in West Mr. anu lurs. A.

Stromer, of Alvo, where Mr. Stromer is rural mail carrier, visited last Monday evening in Wabash at the home of Mrs. Stromer's father, John Browne, and a day later departed on a vaca tion trip to the west that will take them to the mountains of Colorado. They expect to be gone ten days or more and visit Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, as well as other points of interest, enjoying the cool er climate of the mountain country, and hope to return greatly refreshed in both mind and body. Everyone should take a vacation to keep from getting into a rut and to add extra years to their span of life. We trust they will enjoy theirs fully as much as contemplated. Weather Was Too Warm Sherman Hardaway, wife and lit tle niece, who has been staying with them for some time, planned a visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mead, who reside east of Murray, and started out in their faithful car. Be fore they had gone far, however, the car began heating badly, requiring them to turn around and come back home. Sherman says when it gets so hot that it is too warm for a Ford to go visiting, it is time to call the halt. SHOWING IMPROVEMENT Max Bowman, South 6th street barber, who has for , several weeks past suffered from an infection in one of his hands, is now back home but unable to look after his work at the Bhop.

Demands Drouth Relief for the Wild Fowl Life Elimination of Season lor Wild Duck Hunting Over Nation Urged by Lovers of Wild Life. New York, Aug. 12. Drought re lief for wild ducks, in the form of a year's reprieve from hunting, was demanded here today by the Nation al Association of Audubon Societies, with a warning that unless there is a cessation in killing the water-fowl may go the way of western cattle herds, but with no similar hope of replacement. "The vigorous drought-relief meas ures being undertaken by the admin istration on behalf of man and domes tic stock will undoubtedly relieve their distress," the statement said, "but what of the wild life of the area a natural resource worth many mil lions of dollars? The worst drought conditions have blanketed tue very prairie states in which the United States raises most of its wild ducks and the suffering among them has been extreme. "For years conservationists have been concerned over the diminution of our water-fowl. Grazing, drain age, overshooting, and recent dry years have reduced their numbers until some species are in grave dan ger of extermination. The losses oc casioned by this new catastrophe can not be repaired until better breeding seasons combined with requisite lim itations of kill have made it possible for the birds to increase their num bers. ' v "We can't replace the ducks that are done." the statement concluded. "Only ducks can do this. We can, however, reduce the depletion by closing the shooting season for a ye;rr, thus relieving an enormous drain on our water-fowl resources." ELECT PRINCIPAL AT WAHOO Wahoo. Rex Carden was elected principal of the Wahoo high school Wednesday to succeed Franklin T. Anderson, principal for six years, who resigned to resume his univer sity study. Carden has been athletic coach and instructor in mathematics and Ger man in Wahoo schools for the last four years. He will be succeeded by Donald C.

Soil Conserva tion is Our Best Crop Insurance AAA Chktf Talks "to Farmers Kearney Thursday; Modifies Beet Contracts. at Kearney, Neb. II. R. Tolley, AAA administrator, Thursday told Nebras ka farmers the federal government's soil conservation program is a form of crop insurance, and crop insur ance will "provide social security for farmers." Before addressing a gath ering of roil conservation state com mitteemen and farmers, he an nounced a modification of the AAA sugar beet progra mto permit more beet farmers to comply with it. Under, the new plan a beet pro ducer is required to put only 25 per cent of his 193G beet acreage in soil conserving crops, rather than 40 per cent. The program provides for pay ments of I2V2 cents per hundred pounds by the AAA on sugar manu factured from beets to beet growers. Beet raisers of the Scottsbluc area and other sections had requested modification. After discussing problems and practices of the soil conservation pro gram, Tolley explained his proposal for crop insurance and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's "ever normal granary" suggestion. Applause greet ed discussion of, both plans. Tolley urged farmers to "be practical in co operating and developing programs for agriculture and to work together for 1937 and 193S programs. He sought suggestions from farm ers who assembled at the Kearney State Teachers college auditorium on what they wish in 1937 and asked, "should we give more attention to soil conserving crops?" Farmers were asked to study the Nebraska situation, discuss problems, and pre pare suggestions within a month. Un der the crop insurance plan, Tolley said farmers could pay premiums to government in bushels of wheat or corn in years of high yields and col lect insurance in years of crop fail ures because of drouth, pests, or oth er causes.

The national chairman told a Sac ramento meeting the retirement of James A. Farley as postmaster gen eral and his subsequent absence from Washington "has removed from that city the political censor of govern ment reports." t "Doubtless," he added, "it is a mistake that some of the real facts are beginning to slip out now."
