Going to get us dead or alive. “My country, ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty!” Steady rain most of Friday night followed Sunday by intermittant but heavy showers, an overcast sky holding no promise of clearing during the early part of the week have gone a long way toward re storing the “south country’s” rep utation for being wet—under foot. . Jupiter Pluvius is doing a plenty to restore the verdure with which the country has abounded in former years. Grass will be plentiful but it will take more than one normal ly wet season to bring about a full restoration on the grass lands. Have you received your chain letter? Several have arrived at this household, indicating that our friends are becoming impatient at prosperity lingering “just around the corner” and are going to try to start something themselves. Officials have become suddenly zealous in behalf of our institu tions, veiled, threats of prosecution being heard. The chain letter method of bringing on prosperity may be as effectual as some of the schemes promulgated by federal authority, but both have the fatal defect of creating no new wealth, an element essential to a sound prosperity.

In this county the status of the corn-hog program is as follows: Listing sheets are being com pleted and will be ready to go to Lincoln very shortly. The group one contracts, those with the same land and hog base as last year will then be ready to be signed within the next two weeks. County allotment committeemen, agricultural agents and office work ers and the district representa tives of the state board of review are busy now establishing the corn and hog bases of individuals who signed up additional land or who are signing a contract for the first time this year. Each of these cases requires personal attention and. considerable time will be needed to finish up some of them. Contract signers who signed up again this year about the same as they did in 1934 will have their contracts fin ished and on the way to Washing ton within the next few days. Every effort is being made by all counties in the state to finish the job for the majority of the signers by the end of corn planting time.

M, Reece Since the wheat adjustment pro gram began in July, 1933, all of the money for benefit payments and administrative expense has been raised by a processing tax of 30 cents per bushel on wheat. Dur ing that time the wheat section has never used a drop of red ink. At the present time the financial bal ance of the wheat section at Wash ington is such that a reserve has been set aside to oieet any emer gency, and the business of the wheat association is in Spch shape that no one need worry about the future of the wheat program. W’ith this kind of a report on the government books at Washington, wheat contract signers can say very emphatically to any critc that the wheat adjustment program has not saddled a future debt on the grandchildren of the present gen eration and it hr.s worked no par ticular hardship upon producers, processors or consumers during the past two years. The processing tnxlif 30 cents per bushel on wheat prepared for hu man food raises the price of a pound loaf of bread about half a cent. Consumption of flour during the past two years has not varied to any extent from the normal con sumption of the past few years. Practically all of the processing tax on wheat has befen paid by the consumers, and, the consumers’ buying power has increased in the last two years more rapidly than the price of bread. &0 far as Ne braska is concerned wheat pay mentscoming into th'^state amount to $7 or $8 for every $1 paid in directly by Nebraska consumers into the wheat processing tax fund.
