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.

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

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.

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
