Demand For Farm Land
And Ranches Increasing
An upsurge in demand for Neb
raska land is rocketing farm and
ranch sales in this territory, ac
cording to A. E. Spittler secretary
treasurer of the National Farm
Loan associations at O’Neill.
He reports the salt of 14 Federal
Land bank farms and ranches up
to June 1 this year in the district
served by the farm loan office,
which includes Boyd, Holt and
Wheeler counties. This is a record
for any five-month period in this
territory, Mr. Spittler declared.
He said reports from all over
the state indicate a widespread in
crease in demands for land. Pur
chases of 281 tracts of Nebraska
land from the Federal Land bank
were chalked up between January
1 and June 1, setting a new state
record for the first five months.
Saks numbered 111 in the same
period last year.
The ample rains of this spring
are given by the farm loan secre
tary as one reason for the soaring
land sales. The present low prices
of land, combined with expected in
creases in land values, also enter
into the picture, he said.
“Another important factor,”
Mr. Spittler said, “is that in times
of great uncertainty and upheavals,
people turn to the land to find peace
and security.”
Miss Mary Ann Fisher, daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Fisher, came
home last Friday for a weeks
visit with her parents. Miss Mary
has, for the past two years been a
teacher of English iin the Elmwood
Park school, Chicago. The latter
part of the week she will leave for
Estes Park, Colorado, w'here she
has a position as reception hostess
at the halet Hotel for th su> mer.
This fall she goes back to Chicago,
where she ha3 accepted u P' ion
as teacher of English in the jiewa
tha school at a substant.al increase
in salary.

Holt County A.C.A. News
“The Holt County Committee is
sending out Farm Reporters to
cheek compliance for the 1941 AAA
Program,’’ states Fred F. Beck
with, Chairman.* in most cases the
reporter is a neighbor of your s j
and is willing to oblige, but do not j
put off checking the farm when j
he calls if you can possibly help!
him at that time as this expense!
is paid out of the checks of the
participants and the more trips to
a farm, the more expense. It is
not fair to the rest of the mem
bers of the association for one man
to ask the reporter to call two or
three times. It is also to your
advantage to go with him and see
that all fields are checked correct
ly. Last year Holt County was
the first county in the state to
receive checks, and it was the man
that helped the reporter send a
correct report to the county office
who received the first check.

plan to attend the judging schools
may be present at either place.
If there are sufficient numbers
of 4-H member- who desire trans

will be made by the county agent’s
office to furnish this.
Since this arrangement will even
be more convenient for several Holt

counties that our 4-H members
have appreciated their attandance

Interesting Account of
Trip To Lincoln
On Sunday and Monday morn
ing June the first about 350 4-H
Club members and leaders regist
ered for an enjoyable educational,
and inspirational week. We had
the pleasure of seeing and talking
with the man who originated 4-H
club work. His name is 0. H. Ben
son, also he told us the story of the
4-H emblem. While Mr. Benson
was county superintendent and out
visiting rural schools he came to
a school, found the teacher and
pupils hunting for a four leaf clo
ver. The teacher was frightened
because it was school time and they
were out in the clover field. But he
encouraged her and thought it was
a grand idea. Then they all
brought him thier 4 leaf clovers.
He had a lovely bouquet. Then an
oral discussion was given of the
clovers aJid their meanings. The
following was achieved of the 4-H's
Head for better thinking, Heart for
greater loyalty, Hand for greater
service, Health for better living.
We had very iinterestiing speak
ers; some gave us ideas of foreign
countreis and their relations to us.
One thing I thought was out
standing was the way this large
group was handled, All were taken
to meals some place and run
through line in an hours time. Wo
toured through Lincoln many times
both evening and afternoon. We
usually took possession of the town
when we toured. We were very
greatful for the way the city of
Lincoln accommodated us in our
week’s visit.
We had the privilege of visiting
and seeing the fire department
work both in Lincoln and Omaha.
We were welcomed Friday in Om
aha by Livestock Exchange with a
dinner after visiting stock yards
and Cudahy packing plant. In
afternoon we visited various parts
of Omaha and were welcomed by a
banquet at Omaha Chamber of
Commerce.
Everything can not be recorded
that took place. But every one
went home feeding the week was
well spent. Our hope is that next
year new members can take ad
vantage of this admirable trip.
Trips were paid by the Burling
ton Routes, banks and various or
ganizations who realize the value
of this fine institution.
