EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Work was begun last Friday morn
ing on the Educational Exhibit Build
ing which is being erected on the Court
House lawn. The funds for the mater
ial of this building are being donated
by the school districts of the county
according to their valuations. The
County Board of Supervisors very
kindly donated the ground on which
to erect the building. An application
was made and approved whereby all
of the labor will be furnished us a
CWA project. We were very fortun
ate to be able to secure this help for
with the labor furnished in this man
ner we will be able to erect a much
larger building than we could other
wise.
It will be a very fine building when
completed, 28x40 feet, with two rooms,
each 10x10 feet in the front of the
building just off the entrance, one of
which will be used as a storage room
and the other as a library room. These
rooms will be lined with metal in order
to make them mouse-proof. This will
take care of a circulating library to
which all of the schools of the county
will have access.
The main room will be fitted with
booth frames on which to mount the
school exhibit cards. These will be
arranged on hinges so that they may
be folded flat against the wall when
not in use in order that the building
may be used at other times for meet
ings or school entertainments. Two
large dormer windows in addition to
the windows on the side of the room
will afford ample light.
We believe that this will be a build
ing that the county will be proud, of.
It will be the property of the schools
of the county and will be dedicated to
the school children of Holt county.

New Corn-Hog Ruling
Several new statements and rulings
from the Corn-Hog section at Wash
ington help clear up problems for cer
tain individuals wanting to sign corn
hog contracts either as tenants, owner
operators or landlords.
Below are a number of brief state
ments covering different cases:
1. Landlords who sign corn-hog
contracts agree not to buy more feeder
pigs in 1934 than the average number
they bought in 1932-33.
2. Men who buy and sell hogs and
mix them with ones they farrow on
their own farms will have to show
satisfactory proof of what huppened
to their own farrowings. In cases
of death losses which cannot be defin
itely accounted for, the man must
figure that pigs which he farrowed
himself were the ones that died and
that the feeder pigs he bought were
the ones he sent to market.
3. Brood sows and boards bought
during the base period can be counted
as feeder pigs bought. The number of
head of breeding stock bought in 1934
must be deducted from the feeder pig
base, or if there is no feeder pig buse,
from the number of pigs which can be
raised for market in 1934.
4. Contracted acres may be taken
out in strips of five to ten rods wide
and 80 or more rods long. This will
permit western Nebraska farmers to
plant strips of corn to check wind
erosion and lay out the contracted
acres between the strips of corn. Lay
ing out contracted acres between wide
spaced corn rows, say rows 8 or 12 feet
apart, will not be permitted.
Take Poorer Land
Out Of Production
Most Nebraska corn-hog contract
signers will take their poorer land out
of production as contracted acres, ac
cording t<4 reports coining in to state
corn-hog administration offices at Lin
coln. These farmers probably have
several things in mind in making this
choice.
Many men realize that it takes very
little if any more work to farm good
land than poorer land on the farm.
Since the cost per acre is about the
same, the most profit is made from
high yields of crops. In times of low
prices the least loss is suffered on good
land.
Many farmers also take pride in
their farms and try to build up and
maintain the fertility of all their soil.
Hauling manure to the farthest cor
ner of the place takes more time than
spreading it on fields near the barn.
If they can take the contracted acres
out on land away from the buildings
an^then seed the land down to legumes
or grass, they will be keeping the fer
tility of all their, fields more nearly
uniform.
Every man who plants corn takes
two risks, one of getting a yield and
the other of getting a paying price for
the crop. Chances of getting a good
yield on good land are better than on
poorer land. On the contracted acres,
the yield is set by the appraisal and
the allottment commitees. The farmer
knows what it is before he accepts the
corn-hog contract. He also knows
that he will get 30 cents per bushel
“Wleb I hud Mild my cent ttLrn the price
wgi better.”
“Well, Jim, we rail farmer* with tele*
phone* and let them know when the
price ii right. I'm tony you don’t have
a telephone.”
“I didn’t hare a telephone, but I'll get one
right away.”
*
A telephone keep* the tenorr in touch with grain •!• alarm,
neighbor*, tho doctor, aturekeeper*, end other bu*in.»* (Ur o
in loan ,.. urn time end trip* ... unit;» the entire cum
nraahp.
for the definite amount of corn fixed,
in the contract. There will be a small
deduction for county costs of admin
istration of the corn-hog plan but that
cost should amount to less than a cent
a bushel in most counties. In other
words, the farmer who takes out con
tracted acres on his poorer land will
be taking a definite payment on that
land and running his crop and price
risks on good land where he has a
better chance to get a profit.
NATIONAL NEWS NOTES
From Canada and points in South
Dakota come reports of livestock dy
ing of eating fine particles of sand
which was blown in stacks of hay,
cornstalks and other rough feeds by
several dust storms which passed over
those areas this winter. Post mor
tems performed on the animals reveal
ed clogged ertrails and stomach.
Another sea monster has appeared,
this time near Cherbourg, France.
This specimen, unlike the others, was
found on a beach where one can look
it over instead of merely looking the
papers over. The monster near Hay
Springs, Nebraska, a few years ago
taught many fisherman how to skin a
eat wthout a trapeeze or practice, is
said to he pensive and liable to stage
a few exhibitions this summer when
news becomes scarce.
The number of attorneys who have
practiced before the United States
treasury since 1921, most of them in
the tax appeal business, totals 34,000.
With issuance of a new Sioux City
directory the latest estimate of the
population there is placed at 88,133.
The increase within one year is placed
at 1,014. It is noticed over the country,
however, there is little bragging since
the depression ushered in about large
populations. Sioux City being an ex
ception.
