Congressman Miller’s Weekly Letter Corn Freeze Upsets Feeding Operations. The recent corn freeze has seriously upset feering operations throughout the coun try. Of all hogs coming to the Omaha market at least 42% are being penalized because they are either over or under weight— 26% weigh over 270 pounds and 16% under 200 pounds. All the markets in the country are glutt ed with half fed cattle, hogs and sheep because the feeder has no corn to complete his feeding op erations. There are now 32% les cattle on feed in Nebraska than last year. It looks as tho I there might be a heavy liquida tion of breeding stock for the next year. Livestock raisers will probably take from one to two dollars less per hundrtd pounds for their feeders this fall. Our mail indicates a general dissatis faction with the constant meddl ing by the OPA and the WFA in the livestock business. These agencies have advisory boards but do not accept their advice unless it conforms to the precon ceived ideas of the ill informed members of OPA and WFA. Annapolis and West Point. I have recently been informed that 1 will have one vacancy for the classes of 1945 in each of the Academies mentioned above. To give every boy in the district an equal chance I will make my recommendations for appoint ment on the basis of the grades attained in an examination given by the Civil.Service Commission. This examination will be given on July 29, 1944. Those boys de siring to take it should write me not, later than June 20, 1944. Montgomery Ward Seizure. So much has been said about the seizure of Montgomery Ward & Co., by the government, with a display of military power, that people have formed their opin ions on the matter. The subse quent return of the property has not altered the facts of the seiz ure. Investigations have been started in both houses of Con gress and, unless choked off by the Administration, they will re veal all the facts surrounding this high handed action. Con gressman Carl T. Curtis of Ne brarska is one of the minority i members of the House Commit-1 tee. The investigation ay reveal why the Attorney General felt that Montgomery Ward was breaking the law known as the Smith-Connolly Act when he could not see that John L. Lewis was breaking it in the miners strike last fall. It hardly looks like even handed Justice. An interesting angle of the case was presented by a state ment in a letter received from a friend. It was to the effect that 75% of the people he talked to said they were willing tol bet that Congress would holler, rant, stamp their feet and wave their hands about it and call it an out rage but that it would not do one single thing to pass a law to correct it. The “75% af the people” are probably right, but not because individual members of Congress, and especially the Nebraska members, want it that way. If nothing is done to cor rect the situation it will be be cause the Administration, by its control of the powerful Rules Committee in the House and equ ally powerful committees in the Senate can keep bills it opposes from coming to the floor. Only when public opinion is strongly exerted on the members of the majority can this be overcome. Congress has elready passed laws governing labor relations in war time, but laws to be effective must be enforced without fear or favor. v CHAMBERS ITEMS_ \ - Miu Phyllis Carpenter Beryle Porter of Seward, arriv ed in Ewing Saturday evening where her father George Porter met her and brought her to Chambers, where she is visiting him for some time.

(Continued on next page) - l _ HOW TO SAVE MORE OF THE BABY PIO CROP Clean, properly-arranged "matern tty wards” for this year's pig crop can save the average hog producer more losses, and make him more money, than any other single Item in bis swine raising program. In fact, more than one-third of all swine losses are caused by fail ure to take proper precautions at farrowing time and during the first few weeks after pigs are horn Here are some suggestions that may help prevent these losses. To start out with, a baby pig hasn't much chance to make Its owner a profit unless it comes from strong, virile, well-nourished breeding stock. Farmers should take particular care to use breeding animals that fcre free of brucellosis, which causes far more losses than most owners rea lize. Before farrowing time, the brood sow should be given well-bal anced rations containing sufficient proteins, vitamins and minerals, so she can produce rugged, healthy Pigs. When it is Itme for furrowing, the sows should have dry, sanitary quarters, with plenty of bedding. Guard rails should be provided to save the pigs from being crushed. Every producer should make a prac tice of disinfecting the navel stump of pigs at birth, to prevent Joint 111 and other Infections which enter by this route. At the age of two to three days the pigs should hare access to clean sod or soil, to prevent nutritional A hot water jug te protect new born pigs egalnet chilling. anemia. If other disturbances ap pear, or If the pigs begin to show unthriftinesa, a veterinarian should he called to determine the cause because prompt action in correcting such conditions may make the dif ference between profit and loss on the season's operations. The sows and their litters should be placed on clean pasture, as tar as possible from the germs and parasites of old hog lots. At weaning time the pigs should be immunised against chol era, and in erysipelas areas, against erysipelas. These simple steps In getting the young pigs off to a good start can mean a great deal to the coming year’s profits. S5HSSS ■■ - A ■ .
