Soil Conservation
By F. M. Reece
Representatives of Nebraska
farmers and the extension service
of the agricultural college ate in
Chicago this week attending a re
gional conference of the cornbelt
states in connection with the new
soil conservation program.
How the conservation program
might be put into effect in 1936 on
a temporary basis is the immediate
question before this group of farm
ers and officials. The second most
important question is how the pre
liminary program developed for
1936 will fit into a more permanent
program to go into effect in 1937
or 1938 if states enact legislation
to cooperate with the federal gov
ernment.
For the past two years Nebraska
farmers have favored taking out of
production a certain per cent of
their land and having one contract'
instead of tWo or three on their
farm. Just how such an idea might
be put into practice in 1936 during
the short time which is available
between now and planting time
will undoubtedly be discussed at
Chicago. Indications are that no
plan of procedure will be presented
by the Washington officials. They
will be guided entirely by the con
census of opinion expressed at re
gional conferences like the Chicago
meeting.
The amendments to the soil con
servation act make it definite that
community and county committees
of farmers will be elected in each
county by those who participate in
the soil conservation program. Ex
perience in the past three years
with the Triple A will be used as a
guide in setting up and handling
the new program.

While many of the backers of the
Frazier-Lempke refinance bill voted
for the soil conservation act, they
stated openly that passage of a
lower rate of interest measure
would do more for permanent re
covery for agriculture than any
other measure suggested. These
representatives were active during
the day endeavoring to get more
signatures on the discharge petit
ion which still remains at 207.
Some of the house leaders say they
can get ten more signatures re
moved from the petition if they get
near a majority, and if they really
want to. So some of the Frazier -
Lemke workers indicated that they
will start another petition asking
that the rules of the house be
changed and reverted back to the
old rule of last year when 145 sig
natures were needed to discharge a
committee. It now requires 218
signatures. -
Old timers tell the new members
that they have never seen the time
when major bills were being rushed
through both hiuses as they are
now. When the navy bill and the
agriculture bill and the tax sales
bills are out of the way they figure
that both houses will be talking
adjournment which they predict
will come the latter part of April
or the first part of May. President
Everson of the National Farmers
Union arrived in town and called
on the Nebraska delegation. He
says that the Nebraska Union has
now voted to reaffiliate with the
National Union.
With the government renting
about 118 buildings in this town,
the real estate sharks are getting
busy. One graft is for real estate
men to lease buildings and then
sublet them to the government.
They say that they make plenty of
money this way. Apparently these
sharks have advance information
as to just what buildings the gov
ernment will be needing.
About 100 sheriffs and chiefs of
police are in town getting some
free instruction on how to detect
criminals, from Edgar Hoover and
the “G” men. Many congressmen
visit this department, now one of
the most important in our land.
While congressmen were there the
other day, a telegram came from
Canada with a fingerprint of a man
who was captured In Canada fol
lowing a crime. The congressnen
followed this fingerprint through
millions of files and in ten minutes
the finger print was identified,
matched, and a full record of the
criminal was telegraphed hack.
Another case came in at the same
time containing a typewriter letter
and with aid of chemical experts
de\teloped the fingerprint, which
was matched, and the arrest of the
man was made by telegraph while
the congressmen were in the office.
Automatic machines were used to
hunt out certain fingerprints. It
is no guess work with Uncle Sam
any more, and criminals have very
little chance to beat the law. The
department is cooperating with
every city, county and state in our
country and with the territories
and law enforcement officers of
other lands. ——
The cocoanut oil industry and
oleomargarine people are starting a
campaign in Washington for the
repeal of the excise tax on import
ed cocoanut oil, and also against
legislation which was planned to
increase the tax on oleomargarine.
Full pages of advertisements are
printed by the national association
of margarine manufacturers. These
advertisements contain a picture of
the dome of the capitol and a pict
ure of a small child with a piece of
dry bread in his hands, under
which are the words, “Do I have to
eat it dry, Mother?” And below
that is the picture of a slice of

inference is made from these gi
gantic advertisements that oleo
margarine is healthy, and contains
just as much food element as
country butter._
The neutrality bill was passed j
without much opposition in the
house although some tried to get
some amendments in, only to be
voted down. Many opposed the
bill because it was put through by
a gag rule. But many voted for it
because they didn’t want to be on
record against neutrality.
Every congressman and senator
has the privilege of having one
copy of any government document
bound. A visit to the government
printing office would give the tax
payer just a little hint as to where
his money goes and. why the gov
ernment printing office has to ask
for huge appropriations. That
office is always behind, especially
in the bindery work, because all
members have an unusual number
of documents bound in beautiful
book bindings. Orders that were
given to the government printing
office last November have not yet
been completed.
Tourists are very much interest
ed in the stories the guides in the
capitol tell them about the painting
of the murals in the senate wing
of this beautiful building. The
guides tell them that these murals
were painted by an Italian artist
named Braumidi, who for many
years was the artist in the Vatican
in Rome. This artist was almost
through with the murals in the
senate wing, when he fell from his
ladder, and was so badly injured
that it was impossible for him to
continue and complete his work.
Some years Jater, these murals,
which tell a story in themselves of
the progress of these United States,
were continued by another artist,
and when you look up at these
paintings, you can easily see the
point where the Braumidi must
have fallen and the point where
this other artist took on the work.
There is a very distinguishable
difference in the work of these two
men. -
You may be interested to know
that the appropriation bill calls for
$879,743,905. It is a very interest,
ing bill in that it shows how much
money is needed to run the execu
tive office and the sundry independ
ent offices for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1937. The executive
office will get $437,130. This in
cludes the salary for the president
which is $75,000 and the salary for
the vice president which is $15,000.
Other salaries in the office of the
president include three secretaries
who get $9,500 each a yegr. There
is also an item of S50,350 for
stationary, telegrams, telephones,
books for the library, furniture,
carpets, automobiles, garage ex
pense, labor and special service.
There is also an item of $25,000
for traveling and official entertain
ment of the president. Another
item of $143,000 for the care, alter
ation, refurnishing, lighting, heat
ing of the executive mansion. The
executive mansion has to be over
hauled frequently and when it is
[considered as many as 10,000
