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."

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.
RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL
The many friends of Mrs. Frank
Detlef will be pleased to learn that
she has so far recovered from the
effects of her recent operation at an
Omaha hospital that she has been
able to return home. - Mrs. Detlef Is
still feeling the effects of the illness
and the two weeks following at the
hospital, but it is hoped will soon re
gain her former health.

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."

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.
THIRTY DAY DUCK SEASON
Washington. Duck hunters will
have a 30 day season this fall un
der the department of agriculture
announced as "rigid and drastic" re

HAMILTON TO SEE HOOVER
San Francisco. A conference with
former President Hoover was on the
schedule of John Hamilton, repub
lican national chairman. Hamilton
planned to discuss with Mr. Hoover
the general political situation, with
special attention to the California
outlook.
The former president, republican
leaders said, accepted an invitation
to a mass meeting here, and prob
ably will introduce Hamilton, who
will give the princpal address.
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."
