Mrs. E. E. Young is visiting with
friends at this writing in Kansas.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. James it
turned last week from a trip to
Minneapolis, Dubuque, and points
£ eastern Nebraska.

day at Charley Withers’ but no

what lightning ignites rain ex
tinguishes.
A few rods of “farm to market”
road grading has been worked out

hour at the picnic at Amelia Sun
day were $161.50. Besides quite

A herd of Dakota cattle that
have been on range at the Mc
Carthy ranch were trailed to At
kinson Monday to go on the mark
et. Three riders from the ranch
handled the herd along the trail as
only experts can.
A transaction was consumated
just recently whereby a confirmed
but genial bachelor at Amelia,
George Holcomb, gave tearful fare
well to a long time and trustworthy
friend. Title to his little model T
has passed to Art Hazelbaker over
here in Swan.
Wind swept the wheel from a
windmill at the James ranch and
Jess hustled out Monday for re
pairs. A trip to town proving
fruitless he found the needed parts
at his next door neighbor—an ad
joining ranch. What you can’t find
aiiound an old established ranch in
tW» way of parts and pieces there
is no chance elsewhere.
After several weeks—or was it
months—spent in other pursuits at
the ever enlarging and always
lively county seat, this week finds
us at the common place but withal
interesting tasks on the farm.
Garden and field have been just
dbout a fadeout this season but the
frchard has borne heavily and be
side the expiring of a four-months
old calf, a few baby chicks, a tur
key or two, there have been no
casualties.
An anti-New Deal democrat was
telling of a friend who had taken
one of those “home modernizing”
loans which he expended all on the
property, but under the great NRA
industrial revival found himself
unable to meet either interest or
payments. Foreclosure soon fol
lowed. More than that. He and
family were evicted and the prop
erty they had labored to acquire
was turned over as a home to a
relief worker who had never ac
cumulated more than a meal or
two at a time. Don’t believe Bill
Biglin or Senator John A. would
like a deal ilke that worked on
them.

See Rise in U. S.
Imports of Corn
Washington, D. C.—More com
will have to be imported from
Argentina this year, because of the
shortage of the American crop, the
bureau of economics of the Depart
ment of Agriculture predicts. Some
officials indicated the total would
reach 50 million bushels, or nearly
double the 27 million bushels from
Argentina during the year ended
June 30, 1936.
The bureau avoided mentioning
the crop reductions of the Now
Deal's "scarcity” program—as- i
cribing the shortages entirely to
the drouth.
With September corn selling at
$1.14, there were evidences of dis- ;
satisfaction among Middle Western
farmers whose sealed corn loans
had been called in during June by
the agricultural administration,
which demanded Immediate pay
ment and refused time extensions.
"I have proof that in one Iowa
county alone 136 loans involving ap
proximately 150,000 bushels of corn
were paid prior to July 1. 1936, due
solely to instructions contained in
a letter sent to banks by the Com
modity Credit corporation,” Sen. L.
J. Dickinson of Iowa said. “The
majority of this com was sold at
around 40 to 50 cents a bushel.
"Had it been possible to have
held this corn farmers of that coun
ty could have realized a- least an
other 50 cents a bushel, or approxi
mately $75,000.”
Sen. Dickinson told of the futile
attempts of some Iowa banks,
through which farmers had sealed
their corn, to obtain extensions in
cases where it was apparent such
extensions would save the corn pro
ducers hundreds of thousands of
dollars. They were told only an order
from Washington could help. No
order was forthcon.ing.
Average Farmer $197
Loser Under Roosevelt
Chicago.—The Roosevelt admin
istration paid the average farmer
$176 in benefit checks while load
ing an increase of $373 in national
debt upon him up to June 30, 1936,
says a statement by the farm di
vision of the Republican National
committee here.
“Government appropriations for
the four year period, beginning
March 4, 1933,” says the statement,
“greatly exceed the value of all
farms in the United States. They
amounted to $37,499,976,000. The
value of rural real estate and build
ing in 1935 was $32,858,484,000.”
TVA Goes Wild
Congress appropriated $50,000,000
for a two year period for TVA. In
the first 18 months the expendi
tures had amounted to $110,000,000,
with the government now obligat
ed to spending $379,000,000 as a min
imum of cost.
Lowered Utility Rates
Gov. Alf Landon forced lower util
ity rates in Kansas that are saving
the people of the state about $1,000,
000 a year.
Found It Profitable
For not producing hogs nineteen
persons received New Deal govern
ment checks in excess of $10,000
each, and one concern got $150,000,
and it was not engaged in farming
at all.
One Fourth Is Taxes
One-fourth of the working man's
wages and the farmer's income is
taken from him by the Roosevelt
administration for Federal taxes
Most of it is in the form ol hidden
taxes which they do not see.
A
hphe mighty power
of the dollar is back

he keeps it in bank.
