law went into effect, which was
March 19, 1937.
Academic and vocational trainingl
for the adult blind was under con
sideration at the meeting of the I
state board of control last week, at |
which conference Miss Evelyn M.
McKay of New York City, secre
tary of the American Foundation
for the Blind was present. The
work at the Nebraska School for
the Blind at Nebraska City hus
hittherto been confined to pupils of
school age, but it seems likely now j
said C. W. Eubank, board member,
that next summer a summer school
for adult, blind persons will be con
ducted there, much on the same
scale as the speech correction
course now being held at the Om
aha school for the deaf. A census,
or registration, of all blind persons
in the state will be taken, and a
concrete program for their help
will be presented to the next legis
lature. Cooperation in the work is
expected from the state assistance
division and from the vocational
education department.
Fly maggots in large numbers
have come to the aid of the grass
hopper fighting farmers of Nebras
ka, according to a report made by
the entomology department of the
University of Nebraska. The mag
gots, or flesh flies, are parasites
which bore under the wings of the
grasshoppers, killing them. Exam
ination of specimens from various
parts of the state indicate that the
parasites have been increasing
markedly during the last two
weeks, and that they are becoming
a Teal aid in the extermination of
the grasshopper pest. Use of pois
on and other killing device*, how
ever, are still encouraged.
William H. Wright, attorney for
the Omaha Motion Picture Exhib
itor’s association, filed in the Su
preme court W'ednesday a motion to
vacate and dissolve the temporary
injunction granted by that body to
prevent operation of bank night in
Omaha. The motion stutes that the
court, when it granted the tempor
ary injunction, made tjie ruling that
the facts were in seringa dispute,
and that only if sfll'tSblSallegatCns
were proved, woud the state be en
titled to a permanent injunction.
O. S. Fisher, extension entomolo
gist with the Unite4B(|i|es depart
ment- of atmcult^jft **spent last
week in the inspection of Nebraska
farming conditions. Monday, with
D. L. Gross and E. F. Frolich, ex
tension agronomist^ at the Nebras
ka college of agriculture, Cass
county was visited to observe soil
conservation practices in use by
farmers there. Tuesday was devot
ed to observation of bindweed in
festation and methods of eradica
tion, with a stop at the university
experimental farm near York. On
Wednesday the Saline county co
operative corn test near Wilber was
visited, also the Kuska farm in
Fillmore county which won the 1930
pasture contest, and the sorghum
variety test in Jefferson county.
Grass land management in Pawnee
county was observed Thursday.
R. T. Malone, director of the
state unemployment insurance di
vision, reports that 26,000 employ
ers in Nebraska should have re
ceived a packet from him last week;
also that the postage on these pac
kets amounted to $350, and that the
missives filled forty sacks. Each
packet contained information about
Nebraska’s new unemployment in
surance law, and liability report
blanks which the employers must
fill out and return to the state of
fice before August 10.
Dr. Herbert J. Stack, New York
safety expert and director of the
education division of the national
bureau of conservation, conducted
a series of tests at the University
of Nebraska Thursday on 100 stu
dents. The tests, which were desig
nated to show the necessity for
more stringent safety measures,
j demonstrated physiological a n c
] psychological factors in automobile
! driving. Results of the tests were
sent for study to the Harvard bu
reau of street traffic research. On
; Friday L)r. Stack went to Omaha
where he was a guest of the Omaha
safety council at a luncheon meet
ing. Attention was called to the
(fact that while Omaha last year
received an award as one of the
safest cities of its size in the United
States, neither Omaha nor any
other Nebraska city received any
award this year for reducing traf
fic fatalities. Minneapolis, Minn.,
[ was one of the ten cities receiving
! special awards from the American
Automobile association at Wash
ington for reducing fatalities for
the first time this year.
Examiner William Disque of
Washington presided at a hearing
for the Interstate Commerce com
mission held in Lincoln last week
on the complaint from Nebraska
that freight rates from the Kimball
area discriminate against the Oma
ha market. The group taking part
in the hearing was made up of
representatives from grain ex
changes at Omaha, Kansas City,
St. Joseph, Sioux City and Denver,
representatives of the Burlington
and the Union Pacific and Nebras
ka millers and grain men, J. A.
Little, rate expert for the Nebraska
state railway commission, alleged
that western Nebraska grain men
can ship grain to Denver and to
Kansas City for less money than
to Omaha.
Farm District Congressmen Busy
By organization and cooperation
farm districts over-rode the F’resi
dent’s veto of the bill to extend for
another year the 3% per cent inter
est rate on Federal Land Bank
loans and the 4 per cent rate on
Commissioner’s loans. They also
were able to successfully steer an
additional appropriation of a mil
lion dollars for grasshopper control
thru both bodies.
Farm members are continuing
their fight for some kind of legisla
tion to stop the speculators from
hammering down the price of farm
products should we get a good crop
this year. How far they will get
with this bill is problematical.
Subsidized Fast Question Farm
Subsidies
Regarding the bill for lower in
terest rates on farm loans, the farm
congressmen had a hard time “sell
ing” their city colleagues who say
they pay high prices for food and
that they feel the farmer is now
prosperous and that his income is
so great. These city members were
told in no uncertain terms that in
many parts of Nebraska, the fann
er is not prosperous and that he
has nothing to sell and therefore
he has no income.
It was also charged that this
lower rate of interest represents a
subsidy to farmers and the city
members were told that the gov
ernment had been subsidizing east
ern industry, the railroads and the
banks, and is now pouring millions
into the hands of the shipping
trust. It was only rigWt, the farm
members declared, that the farmer
should at least get some fraction of
a break now that he is debt bur
dened and wants to harvest a crop
on which his entire future depends.
Many members admitted that by
over-riding the veto the House set
congressional precedent for lower
interest rates for farm loans.

.Must Get Hopper Poison At Work
Immediately
Now that the grasshopper money
is available, county agents ghould
make every possible effort to see to
it that everything is done toward
i fighting the grasshopper plague.
The material may come too late if
j the agents are not prompt in get
ting the poison to the places where
j it is needed. The Bureau of Ento
mology has admitted that insuffici
ent poison had been shipped to the
third district because the funds
were inadequate. That reason has
been eliminated by the additional
funds now available.
Court Fight Killed Robinson
Close friends of Robinson feel
that the strain of the Court fight
actually ended his life. Nebras
kans who had been in the Senate
chamber daily watching Robinson
lead the President’s fight for a
change in the court, noticed how
the fight had affected him. Those
who say they had been very closje
to Robinson feel that he would
never have been selected to a place
on the Supreme Bench, notwith
standing the fact that the entire
Senate was for him, and that he
coveted that post. Representatives
and senators have indicated their
great respect for Robinson and
especially have they admired the
great fight he put up for the Ad
ministration s court plan.

Fears Farm Legislation Discarded
There are many sick representa
tives and senators here. The phy
sicians in the House make it plain
that the Robinson death is only the
beginning of what members can
expect. Those who are now in
hospitals are reported in good con
dition. The Washington heat which
is so oppressive is telling on even
the employees daily.
There are many house members,
however, especially those from farm
districts who are feeling very bad
about the delay in needed farm
legislation. These are willing to
stay here all summer to enact some
good farm bill, but leaders have
side-tracked many of the bills of
—
fered. These farm members feel
that a lot of time has been wasted
in fights over the court bill with
the result that real farm legislation
has been thrown in the discard.
Face Manganese Shortage
An increasingly dangerous situa
tion faces the United States today
on account of a possible shortage of
the strategic mineral manganese.
This is what has been told to the
House Committee on Military Af
fairs by the American manganese
producers. Due to the armament
program in Europe and increased
steel production in the United
States, demand for manganese in
the world’s market exceeds the
supply. Most of the domestic
mines remain closed on account of
the redfuction in the manganese ore
duty under the Brazilian reciprocal
trade agreement. While these
manganese producers are kicking
about the closing of their mines by
the low Brazilian tariff, the dairy
! farmers are starting to tell the
tariff commission to keep on the
; lookout for the Brazilian oil which
j is coming to us duty free resulting
in the continued low price for Am
erican dairy products.

Storz is the favorite beer on Nebraska farms
\ —not only because it is grand beer — but
also because Storz is a big user of Nebraska
grain, paying top prices to get the best.
Storz Beer makes payrolls all over the state. The
brewery men, railroad men and truckers, distrib
utors' organizations and thousands of retailers /
eanf their living from the sale of Storz Beer.
They are all customers of Nebraska merchants,
so keep them busy.
KEEP YOUR MONEY AT
WORK IN NEBRASKA
Before you ask for some beer made back east—STOP and THINK. Storz beer equals
any beer in America for flavor, quality and strength .... and Storz Beer is made right here
at home, by Nebraska labor, using Nebraska grain.
When you buy Storz Beer your money pays wages to Nebraskans all over the state—
men who spend with Nebraska merchants. But money spent on eastern beer cannot be
spent again in Nebraska. •
Storz makes it a point to buy from Nebraskans whenever possible. The grain used in
the manufacture of Storz Beer is the finest, bought at premium prices.
And Storz is one of the largest taxpayers in the state. Last
year Storz paid over Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars in
Taxes!
% Not only do you help NEBRASKA PROSPER when yoo
buy Storz Beer—you get one of the finest beers in the land—
Four times World’s Champion—Nebraska’s favorite beer by a
big majority. So THINK next time you buy and order Storz.
