TEXAS PENSION ROLLS
CUT BY 11 PER CENT
' AUSTIN. Tex. (UP) Texas lias
put on the brakes against acceler
ating old-age assistance.
Legislators failed to pass a tax bill
to provide more money and refused
to liberalize the eligibility provisions.
Re-investigations Lave struck 14,
000 names from rolls that had reach
ed a total of 128,000. At the peak, a
senate committee reported that Texas
paid pensions to 46 per cent of all
people in the state who were past 65.
"With one exception, this is the
highest percentage in the United
States. The average is 19 per cent,"
the report said.
The house and senate failed to
agree on how far children should be
allowed to shift the burden of par-
ent support upon the state. The
house refused to withdraw a demand
that pensions be granted without
considering the ability of relatives or
friends to aid the applicants. The
senate refused to accept this liberal
ization. Neither did anything about
forcing children to contribute. Each
case was left to individual decision !
by the administrators.
A senate committee reported that
present recipients of old-age aid own
real estate valued at $26,000,000
Pension administrators proposed a
remedy but it was left without ac
tion. Administrators proposed a lien
be taken on property of pensioners
for post-mortem payment from the
estate of all aid given by the state.

E00STS FARM DICOXE
That the hen and the cow provide
a surprisingly large share of the
farm income in Nebraska, including
Cas3 county, was shown this week in
a report from the Nebraska college
of agriculture.
Arthur George, extension econ
omist, in summarizing results of 1936
farm account cooperators found that
Nebraska farmers in 1936 received
around one-sixth of their gross in
come from dairy products and poul
try flocks. His statement is based
upon data from farm account books
kept by farmers in seven counties.
Of the poultry and dairy income, ap
proximately two-Sfth came from poul
try. For instance in Buffalo county, re
cords showed gross returns of 54 38
from dairy aid poultry with the to-
tal gross returns $2,656
fhe twelve
most profitable farms received an
average gross return of $4,054 of
which $490 was derived from dairy
ing and the poultry flock.
Records from Cass county showed
$4 90 gross income from poultry and
dairy where the gross income was
$2,550. The low group had a slight
ly higher return on poultry than the
high group and a smaller return from
dairy.

FTRES REDUCED TO RECORD
LOW IN tr. S. FORESTS
WASHINGTON' (UP) Tourists
this year set an all-time record for
care in preventing forest fires, the
U. S. Forest Service reports.
A check of the 161 national forests
showed loss from man-caused fires
this year was reduced more than 70
per cent from the annual average of
the past five years.
Up to Oct. 1, 5.141 forest fires were
caused by human agency. Last year
the figure was 9,609 for the same
period. The annual average for the
nine-months period during the past
five years has been 5,294 fires.
The greatest reduction in the num
ber of man-caused fires during the
period was reported in the 3 4 east
ern states, where only 3,045 such
fires occurred, compared with 7.36S
in 193C.
During the first nine months of the
year only 464 acres per million of
national forests were burned. The
lowest previous record for an entire
season was S00 acres per million
burned in 1933.
Ray Headley, chief of the f re con
trol division of the Forest Service,
attributed the new record to "the fact
that the traveling public is exer
cising greater care with fire."
OPPOSES HIGHWAY CUT
LINCOLN, Dec. 2 (UP) Governor
Cochran said today that so far as
Nebraska is concerned the highway
program would be an "unfortunate"
place in which to start the federal
economy drive. He referred to Presi
dent Roosevelt's message this week,
recommending that federal highway
aid be discontinued for the 1939
fiscal year and reduced from the pres
ent levels beginning in 1940.
This would mean, the governor
said, that no federal aid roads would
be constructed in Nebraska after
September 193S and that the state
would lose about $4,000,000 in high
way funds in 1939.
"Naturally I would dislike to see
this done," Governor Cochran said.
"I would like to see the program con
tinued. On the other hand I can see
that if we are going to cut federal ex
penditures we are going to have to
make a start somewhere."

Platte River
Overflows into
the Lowlands
Some of the Bottom Lands East of
the City Receive Water From
Platte Overflow.
With the Missouri rivei well block
ed with ice and the Platte open and
checked at its mouth, much flood
water has been forced into the low
lands north of the Platte and on the
bottoms along the west side of the
Missouri where flood water has pene
trated into the chutes and thence in
several low lying places.
The overflow is not dangerous to
the residents along the lowlands but
in several places near the mouth of
the Platte has penetrated into made
land back of the river dykes and re
vetments but not to the extent to do
any serious damage.
The roads leading to the Platte
pleasure resorts at Sokol and Pla
more park have been waterlogged
for the past two days while on the
Cass county side of the river the over
flow has backed up in low places near
the old highway and the Belle gravel
pits.

LARGE WHEAT ACRE
AGE IS IN PROSPECT
Another large U. S. seeding cf
wheat for 193S harvest was reported
in prospect by the Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics in its annual
wheat outlook report. "If wheat
growers respond to relatively high
prices they received for wheat in
1937 as they have in the past it is
probable that the wheat acreage for
193& harvest will net differ greatly
from the SI, 000, 000 acres seeded for
harvest this year, which was the
larrest seeded acreage in the histoy
of the country," the bureau said.

He-enrollment of the Plattsmouth
Boy Scout troop must be effected in
the next week or ten days. Dues of
adult Scouters are $1 a year and 50
cents a year for the Scouts. Last

offset the number that will be drop
ped, again emphasizing the need of
a second troop in Plattsmouth.
At the Legion meeting Thursday
night. It was voted to contribute $25
from Community Building club funds
to help carry on the Scout program
and to continue to pay the dues of
members of the troop committee, the
Scoutmaster and assistant. This will
bring the total of Community Build
ing money thus applied to J SO in the
nearly two years the club has been
in existence.
