Corn-Hog Program Up To Schedule Nebraska farmers are two weeks ahead of last year in their sign-up for corn-hog contracts according to the indications from over the state being summarized in Lincoln each week end. Some counties are a month ahead of their record for 1934. Members of the state corn-hog committee and state board of re view in Lincoln Saturday said they expected the state as a whole to stay on schedule so that farmers will have their contracts to sign at corn planting time. Individual cases involving changes from last year orliew land and new hog bases may be delayed slightly, but the majority of sign ers should know what their 1935 contract says before they finish planting corn. Community Committeemen sjre being elected in all asociations of the state and will begin appraising the cornland within the next few days in the first counties. All of the committeemen are farmers who want to get the appraisal work out of the way before spring work be gins on their own farms. They will visit the farm of each signer and look over the land that has been in corn at least once in the last five years. The appraisal is based upon the average production of the ten year period, 1924-’33. The crop failure of 1934 does not affect the yield entered on the 1935 contract. Office work on the applications, contracts, and other related farms will occupy the time of the clerks in the county association office for several days. County and precinct figures are to be approved by the state board, of review before in dividual figures can be entered on each contract. This office work will be done while the farmers are busy with their early spring work. Con tracts will be finished and made ready for signatures before they Friday and Saturday SPECIALS OYSTER SHELL— QQr 100-Lbs. ------ JdU (Your Hens Need This.)

Farmers who signed last year and who will continue a contract on the same land in 1935 can find out what their corn and hog bases for 1935 are to be when they sign 1935 application blanks. A Year’s Experience vs. A Bugaboo Scare “Farmers of this county who are now thinking about signing the 1935 corn-hog contract need not worry about a clause in it which gives the Secretary of Agriculture the power to make additional ad ministrative rulings during the year,” R. H. Lienhart, president of the county corn-hog association says. “We have had a year’s experi ence with such ruling,” Mr. Lien hart declared. “Exactly the same clause was in the 1934 contract and worked no hardships on any signer in this county.” A few questions and answers may clear up the situation. 1. Why did the Secretary make additional rulings in 1934? Ans. Because the signers asked him to do so. 2. Why were signers interested in additional rulings? Ans. Be cause of the drouth, and because problems came up during the year which were not clearly explained in the contract. 3. Did the Secretary make a new ruling cover every request he re ceived? Ans. No. He considered the request and handled, it in the interests of the majority of the signers in the entire country. 4. Would a rigid iron-clad con tract, drawn in December, 1933, and which could not have been changed for 12 months, have been satisfactory to over a million sign ers in 1934? Ans. No. If such a contract had been enforced last year, no one would have signed one like it in 1935. 5. Who supervised compliance with the 1934 contract? Ans. Local men employed by the country corn hog association. Practically all of them were farmers and contract signers. 0. What were they asked, to do ? Ans. Report the facts as they found them on the farms of the signers. 7. Who approved these reports? Ans. The county allotment com mittee, three farmers who live here all the time. 8. Were the allotment commit teemen permitted to exercise their common sense and good judgment or did they have to follow every little technicality of every ruling? Ans. They were encouraged to ap prove the reports of compliance ac cording to the fundamental prin ciples of the 1934 program and to make their recommendations in all cases of partial compliance. 9. Under this kind of manage ment, what percentage of the 90,000 Nebraska contract signers complied with their 1934 contracts? Ans. Over 98 per cent. 10. Which is a better guide in 1935—a bugaboo scare or a year’s experience? Ans. A year’s exper ience.

SOAP COMPANY OCT OF BUSINESS When I was a lad I remember the advertisements of Pears Soap. These advertisments were every where in newspapers and maga zines. Pears soap reached an enor mous sale in the country and made some men rich. Then the company reversed its policy. It is said, the company came into the control of men who said Pears Soap had been advertised enough and that everyone knew about it. It went out of business and prob-1 ably one could not buy a cake of soap in the whole country. Honest advertising pays when intelligently done. The local news paper is the servant of the alert business man. Its pages are read by everyone. Live displays of mer chandise telling of quality and price will attract the people who need things. To avoid the adver tising columns of a newspaper does not hurt the paper nearly ns much as it hurts the merchant. Adver tisers do not talk to a crowd but a procession. Girls who were play ing years ago are now marketing for their own families. Advertising does pay and there is no better place for advertisements than in the local newspapers.—North Platte Tribune.
