Prof. Loeffel discussed the hog problem of the state and pointed to the fact that in 1932 and prior years the state hog production had been around 5,000,000 head and that this had gradually shrunk to 2,000, 000 in 1934 and that in 1937 there had been but 1,500,000 hogs raised on the farms of Nebraska. The hogs of the state had in the past consumed some forty per cent of the total corn crop of the state and in this re spect the poor crop years had caused a marked depletion of the pig crop. This condition in the state demand ed the planting of more drouth re sisting feeds and the replacement of the herds of hogs on the farm as in the former years. The speaker point ed out that in normal times the ra tion of corn-hog prices was 11 Is per cent, the hogs to bring that much more than the bushel price of corn. In these years the lard exports of the state had shrunk and the use of substitutes from other products had risen. Hog and cattle feeding and raising was urged as a means of 'con serving the farms, bringing better farm conditions and leaving the farming lands in better shape for the future. Mr. Loeffel in touching on the cattle feeding urged that farm ers get back to the cow and calf basis to build up the herd3 of cattle that once were a definite part of the program of almost every farm. This with the planting of feed producing crops and the use of ensilage would soon place Nebraska back on the livestock map of the ration. Claims of over-production were not true in this part of the country, the speaker pointed out, while many of the east ern and southern states had increased their output. Nebraska was still far below their normal figures. He also urged that more sheep be raised on the Nebraska farms to help round out the farm feeding and again place the state in its rightful place as a livestock producer. Veteran Editor Speaks Bruce McCulloch, veteran editor of the Journal-Stockman, of South Omaha, was presented and gave from his long experience a message of hope for the future of the state and urging the following of the fine suggestions of Prof. Loeffel. He pointed out that the livestock and meat industry of the United States was the single largest, that half of the available land of the nation was in grazing and pasture lands, that four out of five farms had main tained hogs, cattle and sheep at least one of these feeding projects being found and many of the farms carried on all three of the stock raising industries. Mr. McCulloch proved an earnest advocate of the pig, calf and other livestock clubs as an incentive to the youth to stay on the farm and urged that the present day farmer strive to leave to his children a heritage of a good farm and a country of good well pre served farms. Mr. David Fowler was then pre sented and gave a very fine violin number in his usual artistic manner, Mrs. L. S. Devoe playing the accom- N Good Music ... Unusual Entertainment Lots of Fun ...

There were a number of distin guished figures in Nebraska banking circles and these were presented to the dinner party and among these George Holmes, president of the First National bank of Lincoln, L. C. Chapin, vict-president of the First National bank of Lincoln and well known figure in democratic political circles of the state. J. F. MeClain, assistant superintendent of the de partment of banking of the state of Nebraska, was also presented by Mr. Schneider and all extended brief gretings. Frank J. McDermott, vice-president of the First National bank of Omaha, one of the most witty and clever of after dinner speakers, as well as a noted story teller, was present and for a few moments pre sented a running fire of humor and stories that caught many of his as sociates and friends on the speakers' list. It was a real treat to have Mr. McDermott here and his coming was a distinct compliment to Mr. Schnei der and his bank as well as the Plattsmouth people, Mr. McDermott having not spoken a great deal this season owing to a throat irritation. Mr. McDermott presented Frank Fogarty, commissioner of the Om aha Chamber of Commerce, who gave a number of Interesting stories and in a more serious vein told of the interest that Omaha had in the farm ing industry of the state and upon which the prosperity of the state rested. The livestock of the Ne braska and Iowa farms was processed in the Omaha stock packing plants and a material source of its pros perity and Omaha was vitally inter ested in the success of the farm and the production of its livestock. The very pleasant evening was concluded when Raymond C. Cook, on behalf of the guests expressed the deep appreciation that all felt for the good time, the fine feast and the worthwhile and entertaining talks. This happily brought to the close the second annual bank-farmer dinner party.
