LIGHT YIELD IN
BLUE GRASS SEED
Dry Spring, Late Freeze
Factors in Sharp Drop;
Stripping Begun
SMALL GRAIN “GOOD”
Holt county, which produced
more bluegrass seed th n the en
tire state of Kentucky last year,
will take a back seat when the
agricultural statisticians tabulate
this year’s output. All because
of a dry spell during the crucial
growing period in the Spring,
and because of unseasonal ireezes
in May. These two factors cost
the bluegrass industry heavily
in a sharply reduced 1946 crop.
This year’s crop is virtually
non-existant in comparison with
the thousands of pounds that
were produced here in 1945.
which WcS an abnormally good
year. , . ,
The bluegrass industry, which
brought an estimated million and
a quarter dollars into Holt coun
ty last year, has shifted west in
to Sheridan and Cherry coun
ties.
The cold weather in May re
tarded the growth of the blue
grass, killed the blossoms, and
caused irregular headings.
County Agent A. Neill Dawes
asserted that upon examination
of the heads it was found that
from 10 to 70 percent were ster

Lemmer Says Fair
Some stripping nas arreauy uc
gun, but the yields are “very lit
tle.” Albert Lemmer, who re
sides southwest of Atkinson, re
ports a “fair” crop, and Charles
» Tasler, of Stuart, who has al
ready stripped five tons, has is
sued a slightly better report.
Meanwhile, farmers ale pre
dicting small grain yields that
will be only slightly below last
year’s average. The freeze did
some damage to rye, and the lack
of adequate moisture in late May
might be the cause of a reduced
yield in barley and oats. The
quality of barley and oats is ex
pected t° be “good.’ Small gram
harvest is expected to begin in
parts of the county between July
8-12.
The abundance of moisture
during the past ten days has been
a boon to the corn, which has
been making rapid growth and
did not suffer generally from the
beat , . ,
The farmers are also pleased
over the alfalfa crop, which wea
thered the May cold in good
shape. The hay crop, which is
, expected to be about 60 percent
of last year’s output in the coun
ty, is regarded to be of good qual

County Agent Dawes said
Wednesday that there were more
applicants from haying and har

were farmers seeking help. He
suggests that those who will re

Petitions for Proposed
Amendment Are
Circulated
BENEFITS ARE CITED
The “Right to \york” move
ment was touched-off here this
week when C. D. (“Neal’’) Hask
ell, of Laurel, chairman of the
petition campaign committee of
the Nebraska Small Business
Men's association, conferred with
representative leaders of the
community.
Immediately, petitions calling
for a vote on the proposed "Right
to Work” amendment to the state
constitution were put into circu
lation. Haskell, who asserted
that 35,000 petitions have already
been distributed throughout the
state, hopes that more than 1,000
signatures will be secured in the
O’Neill community alone. Other
petitions are being circulated at
Atkinson and other points in the
county. The petitions will be filed
with the secretary of state next
Wednesday, and the O’Neill peti
tions will be forwarded from here
Saturday.
People to Decide
“All we aim to do is to get the
petitions signed with enough sig
natures so that the people can
decide whether any organization
can make a person pay out mon
ey in order to get a job,” said
Haskell.
Simultaneously with Chairman
Haskell’s visit here, J. A. Moran,
president of the Nebraska Small
Business Men’s association, sent a
personal letter to leading citizens
throughout the state. He wrote:
“Farmers, ranchers, business
people, and working men and
women from all over the state
are taking an interest in this
statewide activity to obtain
enough signatures to place the
proposed amendment on the bal
lot this Fall.
assures r reeaom
“The worker benefits,” Moraa
pointed out, "because this amend
ment assures him freedom to
work without being tired be
cause he joins a union, or with
out being forced to join a union
against his will.
“The farmer and rancher bene
fit because this amendment will
be an aid to industrial peace . . .
much needed farm machinery
and equipment will become more
readily available.
"The businessman benefits as
part of the general public. Stead
ier employment and the attract
ing of new industries to our state
will build more jobs and incomes
and bring greater prosperity to
Nebraska.
Haskell said that he wants to
make it clear to the people of
Nebraska that when they sign
the petition they are not creat
ing a law. They are merely giv
ing the people the right to vote
next November on the “Right to
Work” t mendment to the state’s
constitution. He believes that if
Nebraska adopts the amendment
as provided by petitions, it would
be a great encouragement for in
dustri 1 expansion in Nebraska,
and will minimize strikes, which
are expensive to both labor and
industry.
