longed to Mrs. Bilstein. As re
ported, the animal suddenly loomed
in front of the car, the driver ap
plying the brakes and the car slid
ing for twenty feet or so before

mare.
At this writing it appears that
the calendar date for the arrival of
spring and the actual induction of
that seasonal event this year were
co-incident. Meadow larks, robins,
killdeers, wild water fowl and other
summer denizens of the air were
in evidence before the 21st, but
still further evidence of the con
viction of some that spring has
come is the presence of men in
fields with four-horse outfits get
ting ground ready for seeding.
So far as our information goes,

somthing like 40. The Berry ranch
has always been a paragon in ac
tivity. The hundreds of turkeys
raised during the past seasons
have touched the high spots on the
markets and thousands of eggs
have been supplied to buyers all
over the country. Retiring from
extensive poultry operations they
are bringing equal energy into the
dairy business and have a fine herd
of good milkers.
A proposal receiving some at
tention is that of the possible dis
continuing of the Kola post office
and serving patrons along the pre
sent Kola-Amelia route, which is
three times a week, by a daily cir
cle route out of Amelia. Ferman
Welton, carrier on the present
route, says this would necessitate
him moving from his present loca
tion two miles west of Kola, to
Amelia.
Extensive repairs and some al
terations are being made to the
house on the Charley Green place
two miles west of Amelia, now in

The dust-laden atmosphere of
last week has cleared, leaving on
spots where there was moisture
sufficient to hold it, a fine redish
brown dust. It has come a long way
to mingle with the “dark sandy
loam’’ of Holt county and may or
may not be a fertilizer. The fert
ilizer we are mostly interested in
just now is a warm copious rain.
Fred Watson, Glen White, Jack
Widman and wife, Tom Baker and
wife, H. L. James and Charley
Peterson were among those south i
of Holt creek to attend the meet
ing at Atkinson last Thursday
when Dr. Spencer and Dr. Francis
spoke in behalf of the cattle testing
program. Both of these men are
sent out by the federal and state
bureaus of animal industry to set
the matter of tuberculin test before
cattle owners of the state. The
men from this section attending
the Atkinson meeting have from
$10,000 to $100,000 invested in
their holdings out on the wind
swept prairies and are not partic
ularly keen about having strangers,
though bearing official credentials,
come to their premises on this
mission. Dr. Spencer will be re
membered by many as formerly
working in Holt county. He was
a resident of O’Neill 27 years ago
and married an O’Neill girl, Miss
Younkin. His work at this time is
not that of conducting the tests
but setting the matter before the
people in public meetings. R. S.

Register Abandoned
Wheat Acreage
Wheat contract signers who want
to abandon part or all of their
wheat acreage and plant the land
to other crops should get in touch
with their county wheat allotment
committee immediately and regis
ter this abandoned acreage in the
county office.
A form is being provided for the
wheat grower to sign with this
community committeemen, stating
that a certain acreage was seeded
and that part or all of it is being
abandoned or being planted to oth
er crops. When this form is prop
erly filled out and filed in the
county office, the county allotment
committee is authorized by the
wheat section to release the land
and tell the wheat contract signer
that he can plant any crop he cares
to plant on the land where the
wheat was seeded.
The filing of the certificate of
abandonment will protect the in
dividual grower and make it pos
sible for him to show compliance
a little later in the season when
the supervisor will check up on the
acreage seeded to seed and the
acres laid aside as contracted acres.
Wheat contract signers in east
ern Nebraska who have extra
wheat seeded for pasture and to
hold the soil will be asked to de
stroy this extra wheat acreage be
fore heads form in order to com
ply with their wheat contracts.
They may use extra wheat acreage
for pasture or for hay, but cannot
harvest it for grain.

FORD V8
In A Class By Itself
THERE is no way to compare the Ford V-8 with any other car
because there is no other car like it.
The Ford enables you to step up into the fine-car class in per
formance, beauty, comfort and safety. But there is no stepping
up in price. That is kept down by Ford low-profit policies and
unique manufacturing methods. These are as different as the
car itself.
It takes eight cylinders to give the modern performance you
need these days. The Ford is powered by a V-8 — the finest type of
eight-cylinder engine. You have to pay more than $2000 for that
in any other car.
