O’Neill Hatchery News, to feed the birds, is a good one. This deep snow is making it well nigh impossible for them to find food. Dead ones have been seen and no doubt many are per ishing because of the intense cold and lack of food. At one farm home a mixture of cornmeal and oatmeal is supplied to a flock of small birds, scattered about the weed tops where they were seen searching. When once they found it they came again. At least this little flock is not starving. Merle Ohmart and Norine Arm strong returned by bus a week ago from Stuart where they had been assisting in the care of Norine’s mother who has been very ill for some time. They left O’Neill by automobile, their destination being Anoka, but got no farther than the Ray Kurtz home, where they still are, because of the snow. Let ters are carried by horseback from the Kurtz home to the John Rob ertson home and from there on horseback to Midway. Many families are isolated and unable to get their mail at all, and worst of all the food and fuel sit uation becomes alarmingly serious as the snow and cdld increase. The Crawford family are vacat ing the place formerly occupied by Wm. Ernst, and returning to a place near Paddock, while William Ernst will return in the spring to the place here formerly occupied by him. SAVE ON HOUSE CLEANING COSTS! 5-lbs.

Dorsey Project Club On account of inclement weather the January meeting of the Dorsey Project Club was twice postponed but was finally held on January 31, at the home of Mrs. John Carson with sixteen members and their visitors present. A buffet luncheon was served at noon and immediately following our business meeting was held with our president, Mrs. Grant, presid ing. Our leader, Mrs. F. P. Hunter, and Mrs. Charles Cole had a very nice assortment of needle work on display which they demonstrated and all members spent the after noon studying the lesson on “Ber muda Faggoting,” “Candlewicking” and “Crochet Stitches.” Just a little sadness crept into our meeting with the fear that we might lose our County Agent and this would mean that the Project Club work for Holt county would cease. Our guests were Mesdames E. L. Carson, Ralph Pinkerman and John Pinkerman. New Farm Bill Before Congress (By Congressman Karl Stefan.) Many letters are reaching the Third congressional office, asking for details about the new agricul tural bill which is to take the place of the old AAA. While no definite bill has been decided upon, the bill reported by the Senate, called S37S0, is now in the hands of mem bers of congress.

MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION This bill to make further provis ion for the conservation and proper utilization of the soil resources of the nation, will be cited as the “Soil Conservation Act.” The title has been amended to read: To promote theeonservatidn and profitable use of agricultural land resources by temporary Fed eral aid to farmers and by provid ing for a permanent policy of Fed eral aid to states for such purposes. This proposed legislation as re ported to the Senate, is very simi lar to the Bill being discussed by the House Agricultural committee, and undoubtedly will b<j reported to the House for amendments. No one, of course, knows how this bill will read when it is finally enacted into law, but it reads today as follows: “Sec. 7. Depletion of the soil and the improper use of the soil re sources of the Nation impede the orderly flow of agricultural com modities in the channels of trade, endanger the assurance of an ad equate supply of such commodities at a fair price to producers and consumers, endanger the re-estab lishment and maintenance of farm purchasing power, and otherwise adversely affect the national wel fare, and, therefore, it is hereby declared to be the policy of this Act also to secure, and the pur poses of this Act shall also include (a) preservation and improvement of soil fertility, (b) promotion of the economic use of land, (c) dim inution of exploitation and unpro fitable use of national soil re sources, (d) provision for and maintenance of a continuous and stable supply of agricultural com modities adequate to meet domestic and foreign consumer requirements at fair prices to both producers and consumers thereof, (e) reestablish ment and maintenance of farm pur chasing pow'er; and the furtherance of such policy and purposes by di rect Federal action during the temporary period prior to Jan. 1, 1938, and thereafter by assistance to and co-operation with the States in State action calculated to ef fectuate such purposes. Sec. 8. Funds available after De cember 31, 1937, to carry out the purposes of section 7 shall be ex pended lin ai\y State only thru grants to such state for such pur poses pursuant to Federal laws to be enacted, except for payments in connection with farming operations carried out prior to Jan. 1, 1938, and administrative expenses in connection therewith. “Sec. 9 (a). In carrying out the purposes of section 7 during the temporary period, the secretary shall exercise such of the powers conferred, upon him under this Act (except the power to enter into contracts binding upon producers or to acquire lands or rights or interests therein) as he finds most conducive to the establishment of the purposes specified in such sec tion. The secretary is authorized to conduct surveys, investigations, and research relating to the con ditions and factors affecting and methods of accomplishing most ef fectively such policy and purposes. Nothwithstanding any provision of existing law, the secretary is auth orized. to make public such inform ation as he deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act. “(b). In carrying out the pur poses of section 7 during the temp orary period, in addition to the other powers conferred upon the secretary under this Act, the sec retary shall have power to make payments or grant other aid to agricultural producers based upon any one or more of the following: (1) their acreage of soil improving or erosion preventing crops, (2) their acreage of crop land, (3) changes in the use of their land, or (4) a percentage of their norm al production of any one or more agricultural commodities design ated by the secretary which equals that percentage of the normal na tional production of such commod ities required for domestic con sumption. In determining the amount of any payment or grant based upon (1), (2) or (3) the secretary shall take into considera tion the productivity of the acreage affected by the farming practices adopted during the year with re spect to which such payment is made. “(c). Any such payment or grant of aid shall be conditioned upon the maintenance by the producer of such acreage of erosion preventing or soil improvement crops or such acreage of agricultural commod ities designated by the Secretary, or upon such utilization of land, as the secretary finds has tended to further the purposes of this Act. “(d). The term ‘agricultural commodity’ as used in this Act means any such commodity and any regional or market classifica tion, type, or grade thereof. “(e). The secretary shall pre scribe such rules and regulations as he deems necessary to carry out this Act. “Sec. 10. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Act, the secretary is authorized and di rected to provide for the execution by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration of such powers conferred upon him under this Act as he deems may be appropriately exercised by such Administration, and for such purposes the provis ions of law applicable to the ap pointment and compensation of persons employed by the Agricul tural Adjustment Administration shall apply. “Sec. 11. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the action of any officer or employee in de termining the amount of or in mak ing any payment under section 9 shall not be subject to review or audit except by the Secretary of Agriculture. “Sec. 12. (a) This Act shall apply to the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii.” THE NEBRASKA SCENE (Continued from page 4.) who made the race in 1934 is the first to actually file for congress in the 4th district. He is a repub lican. Lloyd. Crocker, Omaha at torney and republican, will seek the congressional chair in the 2nd district. George W. Marsh of Lincoln, former state auditor, is going to run for that office in the republican primary this year. The latest to be mentioned as a guberuatornal candidate is Prank Warner of Waverly, present state senator and for 30 years promin ent in republican affairs in Nebras ka. He is a farmer. Present indications are that three men will have their names on the ballot for presidential preference in the April primary. They are Presi dent Roosevelt, Senator William E. Borah and Governor Alf Landon of Kansas. Candidates for presidential and vice presidential preference can get their names on the primary ballot* in Nebraska only by petition ol their political supporters, and the petition must contain not less than 100 names of electors of each con gressional district. Pertinent statements on policies made recently in Nebraska b\ prominent men: “The specter of inflation if simply the death of thrift and in itiative. Inflation may come upor us by two roads—the first thru ex pansion of currency and the second thru an undue credit expansion,” Orrin G. Wood, of Boston, banker, speaking in Omaha. “Agriculture has confidence in Governor Alf Landon of Kansas. As a public official he has a record that surpasses that of any other individual, unless perhaps, Calvin Coolidge,” Lylo Jackson, republic an state chairman of Nebraska. “There can be no lack of unity during tho campaign if the demo crats expect to win. It is a habit of the democratic party to start fighting among themselves soon after they come into power,” At torney General William Wright.
