Friend John:-
I enclose check for subscription to
The. Herald. I certainly enjoy read
ing the Herald and getting the local
news, for I can't get over being a
"small town guy," even though I
have lived in a mighty lively city
for many years. ,
However, 1 must admit that thu
old names appear less, often and new
ones that I never knew more often as
each year rolls by.

cooking qualities of potatoes to the! lrol '" prices, which is not to
extent commonly supposed, according
to a test made by the College of Ag
riculture. Lots of the different va
rieties grown In western Nebraska,
irrigated nnd dryland, were baked,
steamed, boiled and mashed and sub
mitted to seven disinterested judges.
Care was taken to make the prepa

tions. But still, while it is most
inconvenient, you never have the suf
fering that occurs in the cities at
such a time We havo had lots of
unemployment out hero rind for

the judges knew the variety in any
lot. The scoring was very close.
Dryland Triumphs and Pearls out
scored irrigated potntoes of the same
variety, while the irrigated Irish

Cobbler. Drylimtl Early Ohloswere
considered slightly superior to irri

Ohlos were favored over baked anil
boiled irrigated Triumphs. When

The lumber business has been get

and wo aro getting about half for
lumber that obtained a.year ago anil
in some grades much less thnn half.
If you huvu not seen a correspond

to thu increased freight rates 'and
the rest of it to thu unwillingness of
the retailers to take u loss on hit

The senate made .short work of the
bill doing away with the non-partisan
ballot. Only eight minutes was re
quired to kill it.
The senate passed the farm bureau
seed bill after amending it so farm
ers can sell seeds in certain quanti
ties. This bill now goes to the
governor.
In spite of the fact that both
houses are anxious to finish their
work and go home the practice still
continues of wasting lots of oratory
upon desert air at every opportunity.
The bill uniting Douglas and Sarpy
counties was amended bo the new
county would be known as Sarpy in
stead of Douglas, and was then kill
ed. When it came to a show down
neither county seemed anxious for a
union.
Five thousand dollars a year Is get
ting to be the fashionable salary for
Nebraska officials. This is the
amount fixed for the clerk of the su
preme court. The house also agreed
to fix the salary of the supioine court
reporter at $4,000 a year after once
cutting it to $3,000.
The state chamber of commerce is
making an active fight against the
taxation bill because it authorizes
the tax commissioner to re-assess
property. It ia said this feature
would result in making county and
local assessors mere figureheads. This
bill is going to have active opposition
in the house from other sources.
After a few hours debate the house
committee of the whole advanced the
language bill to third reading. The
vote was C5 to 31. The chief feature
of the debate was the strong stnnd
taken for the bill by Dr. HolfmelHter,
who was born, reared and educated
in Germany. He says mo-t Ameri
cans of German birth w'ant such a
law. Some strong statements were
made In the course of the debate
which could not have been enjoyed
very much by thoso who have been
lobbying for the passage of the bill.
The house made short work of the
anti-clgaret bill last Thursday even
ing. The intention was to dispose of
it in short order but u few supporters
of the bill wanted to air their views
ond the two or three made short talks
against it. The bill wac killed by a

A call of the house was necessary

passage of the Christian Science bill.
Considerable discussion was caused
by this bill. The bill passed the sen

Stny ly Stock Raising
Specialists at tlie Nebraska College
of Agriculture believe the wise farm
er will stay by stock raising. There
is now n surplus of low-priced grain
and hay and a material decrease in
the amount of stock in tho country.
It is estimated that there were on
January 1, 15)21, nearly ten million

States thnn on January 1, 11)20. Bar

plus of corn, wheat and other cereals
and feeds. Farmers who have live-1
stock to feed mny find this a good .
way to market their grain and hay. I
By increaing his livestock operations!
the farmer is able to get along with
let.s expense for hired help and at !
the same time escape some of the
hard work connected with grain far-1
ming. Many farmers are planning
to increase their meadow and pasture
acreages, especially those of alfalfa'
and sweet clover. Many of them
have taken advantage of the low prico
of puiebred stock and have laid the
foundation for fine herds of cattle,'
bogs and sheep. Dairy farming is
growing in favor in several Nebnfka
counties and good cows are being
shipped in from other stales. Main
taining soil fertility is another rea-'
son why hoiiio are leanlmr toward
more livestock.
