The Frontier VOLUME 67, — NUMBER 14. O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1947.' 10 PAGES THIS ISSUE PRICE 5 CENTS NEW HEARING ON SCHOOL LAND Downward Revision on * Valuation Seen; Meet to Be Held Here A reappraisal of Holt county’s 77,000 acres of school land is slated for September 18. A representative of the state board of educational lands and funds will conduct a spec;al hearing here at a time and place to be announced. This procedure results from strong protesls made to the stale board against a proposed 70 percent inc ease on valua tions of all school real estate in the county—.he last in a series of increases in recent The controversy over school fcind valuations in Holt county began in June when Hugh Dil lon, of Lincolh, state surveyor, announced that the valuations would be increased 84 percent. Following formal protests brought by the Holt County School Land Leaseholders’ asso ciation, this figure was scaled down to 70 percent. Series of Hearings There followed a series of con fabs at Lincoln. At Tuesday’s hearing in Lincoln with the board, comprised of Governor Val Peterson, Attorney General Walter Johnson. Secreta y of State Frank Marsh and State Su perintendent Wayne O. Reed, the reappraisal hearing was fixed for September 18. Representing the Holt lease holders at Lincoln were Ira L. ^Watson, of Inman, president of the Holt association; Frank N 1 on, cf O'Neill; John Tus fhla. of A*k;nson, and Julius D. Cronin, of O'Neill, attor ney for the asocialon. There are over 200 school land leaseholders in the county. They pay a rental equal to six percent : of the valuation. Officials of the Holt association asseited that the initial 84 pe cent increase was “confiscatory” and the 70 p r cent increase was “too high.” An 85 percent valuation in crease was effected in 1945, and another took place in 1941. Gillet'e Absent State Treasurer Edward M. 1 Gillette, also a member of the I board, was absent from Mon day’s meeting. The state’s intent to hike the valuation had progressed so far , Siat County Treasurer J. Ed ancock had been ordered to in crease the valuations 70 percent, effective July 1. With the n w hearing coming up, this order may be rescinded and a new one issued. GEORGE E. ERNEST INTERRED HERE George E.

RAIN NEEDED TO SAVE CORN Skies Threaten but Moisture Negligible During Week Rain is needed badly to save Holt county’s 1947 corn crop. Cloudy skies which gave off occasional light thundershowers failed Tuesday and Wednesday to biing relief from the prolong ed dry spell. Precipitation dur ing the past week has been neg ligible. In Lincoln A. E. Ander-on, state-federal crop statistici n said that the corn throughout most of the state, although al ready damaged by the hot, dry weather, is “now marking time’ for a heavy shower that would save a large portion of the state’s 400 million dollar crop. Tardy rains fell in some s c tions Tuesday but in O’Neill the sidewalks were barely wetted. The threatening skies were ac companied. however, by cooler weather that brought welcome relief to sweltering citizens. The highest temperature for the week—105—was reached at mid day Saturday, equalling the s a son’s high. The week’s weather summa v, based on 24-hour periods ending at 8 a.m. daily, follows: Date August 8 August 9 August 10 August 11 August 12 August 13 August 14 Hi Lo _ 95 71 100 73 _105 72 .101 72 .90 64 _ 81 65 _ 85 55 Moist. .01 LYNCH RUNS WILD AGAINST STUART Butte and Chambers Win; Bristow in Another Forfeit Lynch. Chambers and Eutte fashioned relatively easy wins in the Holt-Boyd baseball league Sunday as the teams started down the final stretch in second half play.

Only two Rockets escaped the misque col umn in that innin g . The lowly Bristow c’ub hard pressed for talent at best, had to forfeit again — this time to Atkinson.

They ar* Cal vin and James Allyn, of Stu rt: I Hershel Miles, of Dcrsay: Pay ! Siders, of O’Ne il, and L. R. ani i Harvey Tompkins, of Inman. Allyn, Miles and Siders scored highest in the program sponsor ed by the Omaha World-Herald, the Tompkins (a father and son combination), Allyn and Silers scored highest in the program sponsored by the Sioux City Journal-Tribune and the Sioux City Chamber of Cimmerce. The scoring, handled di f r ently by each sponsor, is bas°d on such factors as land u-a~e in relation to its capabilities, conservation treatment of the ent;re farm or ranch, the Pre vention of soil erosion, and the control of soil end water loss. The Allyns operate a 1,600 acre farm and ranch unit con sisting of 172 acres of cropland, 260 acres of hayland. 1,133 acies , of pastureland, 16 acres of wood land and shelterb Its, aod !9 ac res of farmstead, lots and roads , They farm approximately 85 ac res on the contour, have seeded approximately 50 acres to le gumes and grasses in rotation, have subsurface-tilled 35 ac:es in addition to other ‘sound farming’ practices,” according to Holt soil district supervisors and disinter ested judges who picked Ihe county winners for competitin in the Omaha and Sioux City programs. , Selects Land Miles’ farm consists of 400 ac- i res of which 152 are cropland in rotation, 202 in pa ture, 21 in shelterbelts and windbreaks, an 1 16 in farmstead, windbreaks and roads. Miles was cited for “se lecting his better land for farm ing and seeded the less produc ; tivo soils to grass.” Siders opersts 640 acres, consisting of 182 acres of cro-» land, 426 acres of hay and pas ture land, 12 acres of shelter bells and windbreaks, and c0 acres of farmstead, lo's and roads. "Eid~rs has made con siderable progress in increas ing the productivity of his land by the use of crop rota tions which include legumes, j He also rotates the haying and grazing on his grass land which helps improve the qual ity and quantity of hay and promotes more uniform pas ture land." The Tompkins’ ranch consists of 880 acres with 100 acres in cropland, 229 acres in hayland, 418 acres in pasture and range land, 37 acres of shelterbelts and windbreaks, and 26 acres of farmstead, lots and roads. “Since operating this land the Tompkins have made some ad justments in land use by seed ing some land back to grass and plowing up some land better suited for farming, drainage has been improved, used a rotation system for grazing the aftermath | on meadows, interseeded legumes in existing perennial hay.” These cited farmers and ranch ers are cooperators with the Holt soil conservation district. They will compete with other county winners for top honors in the Omaha and Sioux City areas. Houseguects Depart — Mrs. Fr H. Griffith and house guests, Mr. and Mrs. A.

WATER CRISIS RESULT OF HEAT Workmen Race Against Time to Tie in New City Wells The Robeck Construction com pany is engaged in a race again st time. Reason: The citys water facilities have been strain ed far beyond capacity and th' need for use of the recentlv completed wells has become c it ical. The current dry spell, in ad dition to greater demands erect ed by the city’s growth, has placed an unprecedented burden on the present pumping facili ties, which produce about 6f0, 000 gallons of water per day. When the new wells, situ ted 2Vt miles south of the city, are tied-into the water system, the output will be doubled and the crisis alleviated. 6 Weeks Required Robeck’s began digging and laying tile last week. Mayor F. J. Dishner estimates the hook up will require at least six weeks. Meanwhile, city officials have been obliged to ask the residents to conserve water in order to prevent an emergency. “The water situation is very serious at present,” the mayor sa3d. “Everyone is asked to use only what water is essential during the hot weather. “It is imperative,” he cont;n ued, “that water outlets be turn ed-off during a fire alarm be cause the water supolv is very 4ow and all wate" will be n ed ed in case of a serious fire.” Heavy Building Expenditures Foreseen Farm families in Holt county will spend more than $1 253.000 for new housing in the next three to five years, according to a forecast released by the Tile Council of America. “As a result of high incomes during the last few years, farm ers in every part of the nation are prepared to invest record amounts in new home construc tion and in general farm im provements,” said F. B. Ortman. chairman of the Council’s res idential construction committee. Pointing out that the c mforts and conveniences of urban living are now available to fa m fami - lies, Ortman said that now rur *l homes will incorporate such features as centeral heating, tiled bathrooms and modern kitchen facilities.
