Check Corn-Hog Compliance The Nebraska corn hog compliance program started over the entire state Tuesday and Wednesday of this week in nine district conferences of corn hog allotment committees, agricultur al agoents and men chosen to take charge of the compliance program in each county. The check of compliance is likely to begin in this county about August 15. A county school will be held first to train men to figure corn acreage, count hogs, and fill out the compliance blank on each farm under contract. Local men, most of them farm boys or men with contracts, have applied for the work and will be selected by an examination at the close of the school. They will be known as super visors. When the supervisor has tilled out the blank and proved compliance with the contract, and the allotment com mittee has approved the statement the proper blanks will go to Washington to be reviewed by representatives of the Secretary of Agriculture and the United States treasury. When the blank for a contract is accepted in Washington, the farmer will get his last payment on corn and his second payment on hogs. This will amount to about 14 cents on corn and $1 a head on hogs. He will still have his last installment of hog payment com ing after he proves he has complied with the hog part of the contract on December 1. Farmers with contracts are being sent a letter asking them to be ready to help the supervisors on the corn acreage and hog count and in filling out the blanks. As the supervisors go about their work, they will notify the farmers a day or two in advance re garding the exact day and hour of their visit. Modify Feeder Piff Purchase Ruling Corn hog contract signers may now buy any number of feeder pigs from any one who has pigs to sell, ac cording to a statement received from Washington the first of this week. In order to keep records of com pliance straight in the county office of the corn hog association, the fed eral adjustment administration will require that each purchaser of feeder pigs either keep them separate from other hogs on the farm or ear mark them so they can be readily identified. The purchaser is also to fill out a blank and file it with the county corn hog association with a week after the pigs are bought. Blanks for this purpose are not yet available. Farmers who buy pigs within the next few days should keep the following information so they can fill out the blank when it comes; date of purchase, name and address of sel ler, number and average weight of pigs, and kind of identification mark used. The modification of the previous rulings about feeder pigs applies to the four months, August, September, October and November. Lack of feed in drouth areas and the necessity of moving feeder pigs across county and state lines made it advisable to open up the buying and selling of these pigs for contract signers. To date no further statement has been made by the federal corn hog administration regarding excess pigs. The state administration at Lincoln has submitted three poposals to the men at Washington but received no reply. All of the proposals were , based upon the emergency drouth sit uation existing over much of the state. 355th Infantry Ass’n To Have Reunion At Norfolk Fred Hansen, President of the 355th Infantry Association, wishes to an nounce that this year’s annual Re union of the 355th will be held on Sunday, Sept. 23rd and Monday, Sept. 24th at Norfolk, Nebraska. Head quarters will be at the Hotel Norfolk, corner of 4th and Norfolk Ave. Fred urges that every buddy of the 355th arrange to be in town early Sun day, Sept. 23rd and stay for two full days. A big program is being ar ranged. When a number of comrades met several weeks ago to talk over plans for the reunion, they voiced the need for giving each man in Nebraska’s own fighting regiment an up-to-date roster as complete as the present card file will permit. So the first announcement of the reunion which was sent out thru the mails by letter a few days ago con tained two important enclosures. One of these was the roster of the indiv idual’s own company. The other w’as the complete roster of the whole regi ment arranged adphabetically by towns—first listing Nebraska towns, then towns in states bordering Ne braska, then towns in distant states. This roster lists man’s name, his street address and town, his Company, whether or not he has attended, one or more previous Reunions. It is urged that any comrade of 355th who did not get one of these announcements, send in his name and address to Secretary Fred Maas, Cortes State Bank, Pierce, Nehr. The first announcement and all future com munications thru the mail will then be sent to him as issued. If you know any boys who are not on the mailing list, you will be doing them and the 355th Infantry Ass’n a favor by reporting their name and address to the secretary. These rosters will be the means of bringing together again, old war pals who have not heard from each other since the days of 1917 and 1918. No doubt many of the boys will take ad vantage of this opportunity to get in touch thru the mails or in person with some of the boys they fought with in the World War. The Reunion this year, for this reason, promises to be an unusually big one. Irrigation Planned 40 Years Ago Fell Thru Forty years ago last Monday an ir rigation meeting was held, in this city, which was called by M. I*. Kinkaid, chairman, and T. V. Golden, secretary, of the Niobrara River Irrigation and Power company. This company had been formed a short time before with the object of building an irrigation ditch from Cherry county, through eastern Cherry, Brown, Rock and Holt counties to furnish water and power to the residents of these counties. The meeting was largely atended and was opened by T. V. Golden, secretary, in the absense of Judge Kinkaid.. At this meeting arrangements were made for calling an election for the puropse of voting bonds to build the ditch, the engineer having made a very favorable report to the officers of the company. The election was held later and the bonds were defeated, which ended the dream of the pro motors of this enterprise. It is too bad the people of these counties did not have the foresight at that time to vote the bonds for the building of the ditch as we would now have one of the garden spots of the world- Dur ing the past forty years the ditch These Two Women Have Produce to Sell Which will find it easier to sell at the best price?

Two men named Shott and Nott fought a duel. No records were kept, so now there is a dispute regarding the result. Some think the shot Shott shot Shott insteud of Not, while others claim that the shot Nott shot shot Nott and not Shott. So we don’t know whether the shot Shott shot shot Shott or not or whether or not Nott’s shot shot Shott.
