1 inspire feeling of thankfulness in
j Nebraska. It is the only state in the
union where every region is listed
as “good.” A eonsderable portion, of
Iowa and South Dakota and a small
er slice of Kansas and Colorado is
given similar rating.
Most of the industrial region along
the Ohio valley, and the lower Miss
issippi farming areas take the poor
est rating.
It is a fact that Nebraska was ex
tremely fortunate in 1930, and as a
result conditions here are much bet
ter than in most of the United
States. In a year of the most severe
drouth ever recorded in America,
crops were excellent in Nebraska, ex
ceeding all records in four instances
and running close to the high marks
in others.
Prices which Nebraska farmers
are receiving for their products are
not what they should be. With near
ly a billion less bushels of corn pro
duced, with many sections denuded
of feed for livestock, it is mystifying
why wheat, corn oats and hay should
be bringing only half as much as was
paid a year ago. The farm board ex
' periment is receiving the blame for
the conditions, and seemingly there
is justice to the view that the im
mense holdings which the board n.ow
has sent the market downward.
But in the face of disappointment
over prices, there should be grati
tude that we are where we are. The
Nebraska farmer is more soundly en
trenched than his cousins in other
states. He has adopted a diversified
program which will enable him to
fortify his position in/ the next dec
ade.
