PROTECTING NEBRASKA LIVE STOCK
The Omaha-World Herald of September 23, in an editorial un
der the above caption, commends very highly the splendid work done
the past vear by the slate live stock sanitary board. The repeated
appearance and unread of animal diseases have given the board a
large amount of work to perform, as stated by the v roai-ncram ;
hut The Herald believes attention of its readers should be called to
the fact that most of this work has been in the line of combatting hog
diseases. The members of the state live stock sanitary board have
hown a willingness to be helpful to stockmen who raise cattle and
horses, and have done some good work for them, but circumstances
have been such as to call their services into requisition more for the
hog raisers. .
In this connection, The Herald wishes to call attention of cattle
men to the importance of the Nebraska Stock Growers Association as
a factor co-operating with the state live stock sanitary board for the
uppression of cattle disease. Nebraska is adapted to the raising of
rattle, horses, mule and hogs, and sheep, also, if cattle raising were
not more profitable. Of these different kinds of animals, cattle arc
raised more extensively than cither of the other, as shown by the as
sessors' returns, as follows:
Cattle, 2,083.610 head, valued at G.r,O()0,(JO0.
Hops, 1,5l8,7r0, valued at $14,000,000.
Horses, 917,!li7, valued at $G4,000,000.
Mules, 96,572, valued at $8,500,000.
; Sheep, 250.000, valued at $800,000.
It lias already been demonstrated that the Nebraska Stock Grow
lers AsNoeiatio nean, by co-operating with the state live stock sanitary
board, render valuable assistance in reaching the men who are engag
ed in the cattle industry, and thereby enable the board to be of the
greatest possible benefit to them. This is another reason, and a
strong one, too, wh yall ranchmen should be members of the Nebras
ka Stock Growers Association. A large part of the work of the board
so far has been the giving of instructions to farmers relative to the
ftire of hog cholera and preventing the spread of it. The expert vet
erinarians who compose the board are just willing to give needed ad
vice and instruction to the cattlemen of the state, but so far it has
ot been as easy to reach them, alt ho a start has been made thru the
means of the association.
If all cattle ranchmen in this state would materially assist in
putting them in touch with the state live stock sanitary board, a mat
ter of no small importance to them.
umna of the paper, we do requeat that their clalma be given careful consideration.
SCIENTIFIC CHOP IIUKKD1NO
The article written by Hon. James Pearson of Moorefleld, Nebr., on
"Improving Farm Crops by Scientific Breeding," which was published In
The Herald, has been printed In booklet form for distribution. The arti
cle Is one of the best of the kind that we have ever read on this Interesting
subject. Altho giving' a scientific explanation, It is free from technical
terms that so often confuse the average reader, and is so comprehensive as
to be easily understood by boys and girls as well as older people. It Is a
splendid article and should be carefully read by every person who is inter
ested in agriculture and horticulture, and that ought to be everybody. ' A
copy of the booklet may be obtained by addressing the author. A few
copies are at The Herald office and will be given out free while they last.
By the way, Mr. Pearson Is the democratic nominee for lieutenant gov
ernor of Nebraska, and if elected will, we believe, fill the office In a manner
that will reflect credit upon the state as well as himself.
CANDIDATE FOIt SECOND TERM
Thru an announcement appearing in The Herald, as well as the other
county papers, Edgar M. Martin reminds voters that he la a candidate for
re-election to the office of county treasurer. He has made a faithful and
accommodating official and was given the democratic renomination without
opposition. Altho a popular man has accepted the nomination on the re
publican ticket for the same office, there does not seem to be much doubt
about Mr. Martin being continued in the office another two years. The law
of Nebraska permits the re-election of county treasurers, and there Is a
strong sentiment in Box Butte county favorable to continuing faithful of
ficials in office two terms. So strong is this sentiment that the county
clerk, a republican, has no opposition for re-election. The democratic nom
inee for that office, a man who would run strong as a candidate, declines to
accept the nomination this year. This is as It should be, in the opinion of
The Herald.
"Facts About Sugar" Is the title of a bulletin received by The Herald
from Domestic Sugar Producers, New York City. What we would like to
know is why, if the European war has made necessary a big advance in the
price of sugar in this country, cannot some advance be made in the price
paid sugar beet growers for their products?

A LONG LOOK AHEAD.
I think the question should be con
sidered for fifty or one hundred years
ahead and it seems to me that in the
long run It would be a great mistake
to attempt to retain the present crowd
ed campus In the heart of the city.
Buying more ground mere is merely
a temporary palliative and does not
cure the trouble. Guy Wilson, banker,
Laurel.
The "long look ahead." viewing the
university as it will be fifty or one hun
dred years hence, is a most seductive
form of day-dreaming. It is the Col.
Mulberry Sellers' idea of achievement
"there's millions In it." No man
who entertains this thought can be
regarded other than as a sincere well
wisher of the university. And yet he
has utterly missed the reality and is
.chasing a will o' the wisp.
Our plain duty as citizens of Ne
braska is here and now. As S... Paul
says In his epistle to the Corinthians:
"Behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation."
So with us, now is the accepted time
to provide the university with the addi
tional floor space It so sorely needs
not to Inaugurate plans for the Ideal
university of 2015 or even 1964.
No more terrible arraignment ot oui
present system of education can poRsi
bly be made than this "long look
ahead Idea. It is based on the erron
about one-fourth of the present f.rnv

IMPORTANT FACTS.
Many of the departments of the Uni
versity are badly crowded and more
room is needed.
There are fifteen buildings worth
upwards of $1,500,000 on the present
campus and but little room for further
construction. More ground is neces
sary. Additional ground sufficient to en
large the present campus to forty acres
can be had at a cost guaranteed not to
exceed $300,000.
The last legislature made a levy of
three-fourths of 1 mill for six years to
be used In providing additional build
ings for the University. This will raise
about $350,000 per year.
The legislature left It to a vote of
the ptople to determine whether this
money shall be expended two-thirda
for buildings on and adjoining the pres
ent campus and one-third for the Agri.
cultural School at the State Kann; or
whether the present location and build
ings shall be abandoned and an entire
ly new outfit of buildings be com

will cost $2 500.000. and for which the

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN
George M. Adams of Crawford, democratic candidate for state
senator from the district composed of Box Butte, Sioux, Dawes, Sher
idan, Cherry, Hock and Brown counties, is making a campaign for
election that will be a credit to him, whether he wins or not. He
served this part of the state in the legislature, as a member of the
fcouse, and made a record of which he may well be proud. He points
to this record as a pledge of what he will do if elected to the senate.
Voters residing in the 28th senatorial district of Nebraska are invit
rd to read his announcement which appears in this issue of The Her-idd.
;! LKXUSLATIVK TIMItKIt
The state representative district composed of Dawes and Sioux couu
tie is practically assured of a representation in the next legislature that
win oe a creaii 10 mai aistrict ana an honor to this part of the state. The
Herald has no information regarding the republican nominee, but we hap
pen to know something about the democratic nominee, Hon. Charles Nay-
lar, and his record as a public official. For many years be baa served the
reople of Dawea county faithfully as county clerk. It is no exaggeration
to say that he is one of the niont popular men of that county, and for that
matter of northwestern Nebraska. His popularity is due, we believe, to
bis strict integrity and his ability as a public official. That be will receive
aa overwhelming majority in Dawes county at the coming election is now
a foregone conclusion. If be secures anything near an even break In Sioux
county, he will be elected by a big majority. We are confident that he will
make a creditable record in the legislature and want to have the honor of
saying a good word for hi in prior to hie election.
I am agaiust the removal and shall
vote for measure 305 in November,
without absolute reasons for real ben
efits are given for the removal. - Up
to tbe present time no convincing
argument of real benefits has been

and the student who works with a heart

A joint committee of members of the
