Prairieland Talk . . .
Shotgun Blast Kills Turkeys
By RO MAINE SAUNDERS, Retired, Former Editor The Frontier
LINCOLN — Prairieland Talker ventures the
presumption that some friends of The Frontier
down in Swan and Wyoming precincts will read
with interest these items out of the past:
Alfred James, with three riders, moved his
herd to the Eagle creek country. The cattle had
been on range in Swan precinct and had put on
fat. . . John Addison of near Op
portunity visited his daughter,
Mrs. Robinson, over near the
west line of Swan. . . The Ray
mond Bly family expects to
“move in” to new quarters at
their home, having built a two
room addition to their ranch
house. . . H. C. Mignery of the
Beaver creek country came up
to Amelia and bought four young
Shorthorn bulls from Tom Baker
to head his herds. . . Mrs. Koin
zen from Wheeler county and Romaine
her sister, Mrs. Riza of Los An- Saunders
geles, Calif., were guests of Mrs. Fannie Riley for
a day.
Six yearlings missing from the Inez valley
ranch herds were written down as stolen. .'. Sev
en truck loads of calves were sent to market from
the James ranch and sold for 8^ cents per pound,
average weight 400 pounds. . . The Tom and Earl
Doolittle houses were given coats of stucco, and
the Bemey Kennedy house was treated to new wall
paper. . . A day in September, 1938, a couple in a
coupe passing a grove at the Riley ranch cut
loose with a shotgun and killed a few of Mrs. T.
T. Baker’s turkeys. . . Howard Berry was riding
over the countryside with hounds hunting coyotes.
* * *
The drop of the weather gauge from 100 to 50,
the cloud-curtain over the sun, combined with the
rain clothed the prairieland with a robe of green
verdure; also clothed the ladies. The day has given
the land another shower bath. Now evening shad
ows gather; neither moon nor stars will appear and
the night must be intensely dark. Stay in. Go to
bed early. It is a night set apart for slumber af
ter months of restless ones. Bright days and calm
nights come down the highway of time and we
step into colorful October, when the goldenrod will
be touched by diamonds on frosty mornings, when
the larks and barn swallows take their flight,
when autumn’s quiet days end with gold and crim
son sunsets on prairieland. The summer is ended,
autumn is here and on ahead loom the brief days
and gathering shadows of long winter evenings
when we sit by the open fireplace with lights and
shadows at our feet, and count it a luxury divine
to bask in the firelight, dream the old dreams
again, while in fancy there is unrolled upon the
scroll faces of friends whom we have known. For
today, this bright October day we look out across
farflung prairieland robed in velvet green ere the
robe of winter’s night is drawn across the land.
* * *
When things go wrong, as they sometimes do,
And an evil genious points a finger at you,
When the way seems hard and your steps falter
And the gloom grows denser as you loiter,
Just hang on when hardest hit—
That is no time for you to quit.
* * *
Everything comes to the one who gets busy
while waiting for something to turn up, includ
ing a lot of trouble.
I sat for an hour or so in the enclosed pre
cincts where the mills of the gods grind slowly
but are supposed to grind exceedingly fine. It is
where the tragedy of broken homes, of broken
hearts, of desolated lives and the future fate of
little children are bared to the unsympathetic
world. A matron, driven to it by a cruel, unloving
husband was seeking a legal remedy in divorce
and custody of three children. The woman’s story,
corroborated by several witnesses, told of being
struck and kicked by her husband, with other in
dignities. Just recently he had tried to have her
confined in a mental institution. Four district
judges preside at the Lancaster county courthouse,
one hearing the equity cases, another law cases,
another in the criminal court and the fourth avail
able as required. His honor at the bench in one di
vision is a friend of mine of long ago with whom
I exchanged greetings. Faded locks and furrowed
brow rest upon the judge who heard this divorce
case, another wreck cast upon the shoals of ro
mance. And little children, the spawn of unre
quited love. What is love? If thou would be taught,
thy heart must teach alone. Two souls with but
a single thought, two hearts that beat as one!
♦ * *
Nebraskans survived a few days without the
supervision of a chief executive while Governor
Anderson was in attendance at a convention of the
Texas Citrus and Vegetable Growers’ association,
of which he is said to be a member. While it is un
derstandable that he may know a potato from a
cabbage head, yet many may wonder what any guy
in the governor’s chair at the statehouse knows
about citrus fruit growing. . . Norfolk honors the
memory of Karl Stefan by dedicating a monument
to the one-time congressman, who had been a cit
izen of that city: . . Descendants of the Mayflower
pilgrims to the number of 152 took off recently for
Europe to reenact that historic event of more than
300 years ago. Two of the number are Nebraskans,
Mrs. H. W. McGinnis of Lincoln and L. K. Cramb,
editor of the Fairbury Journal.
* * *
He came into the day’s experiences just for a
moment. He with one or two others besides this
lone pilgrim were at the curb as the bus came
to a stop. This young man was a step ahead of me,
but with a smile and a gracious wave of the hand
would bow me aboard the bus ahead of him. A
rare display of youthful courtesy and gentlemanly
consideration for others who have traveled the
highway of life for many years. The background of
that young man no doubt is a home where father
and mother inculcate such breeding.
* * *
A state senator or two did not get enough of
it at the last session of the legislature. Come,
governor, call a special session, they say. Some
thing about power generating that few, if any,
Nebraskans know or care a rap about. Quiet at
the statehouse just now. The state senators
might stir up a little fun.
* * *
If Tom Nightengale had been one of that
group of oldtimers over in Iowa and had rasped
out “The Mocking Bird” on his ancient fiddle he
might have returned to Atkinson a national
champion with the fiddle and the bow.
* * *
“Two men looked out through the bars:
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.”

Newspaper Week
By ROYCE HOWES, Associate Edtior, <
Detroit Free Press
Winner 1955 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing
October 1 through 8 has been set aside as na
tional newspaper week.
It’s purpose is to focus your attention on an
institution in whose operation you have a vastly
greater hand than perhaps you’ve ever realized.
It is also an appropriate time to call your atten
tion to an effort to deprive you of that hand.
The institution is your newspaper — daily,
weekly or whatever.
Let’s begin by dismantling that term news
paper. rt means paper, which, after due processing,
comes to you covered with news. Paper is a self
evident, tangible thing. There is no disagreement
as to what it is. But what of news? It is far less
self-evident and deceptively intangible.
News, In fact, is all things to all men. What
it is depends on who is defining it.
And it is your definition, not the editor’s,
which matters. The paper stays in business if it
does a competent job of fulfilling your definition
of news. If it devotes itself just to the editor’s con
ception of news, it soon fails.
When a newspaper man speaks of his news
judgment he doesn’t mean his ability to determine
what really counts under some mysterious process
of selection. He means, instead, his ability to sur
mise what you will consider news. How good he
is and how successful the paper is depends on
how unerringly he can make that surmise.
All readers won’t agree that some particular
item is news, naturally, but any editor must meet
each reader’s definition often enough so that every
reader will feel he’s getting his money’s worth
when he buys the paper.
That is where and how you have such a very
big hand in determining what goes into it.
Now as to the effort to take this function
away from you. It lies in a growing effort by peo
ple, who are neither editors nor representatives
of the readers, to decide arbitrarily which facts
shall be printed—wtihout reference to what any
individual might consider news.
These people are the censor-minded. They
appear in government and in pressure groups.
They include those who try to conduct government
behind closed doors and in secret places. They are
all those who would take away free access to in
formation which thee itize nwdkth.zo—Jdyrl
formation which the citizen, with his indivdual
right to say what is news, is entitled to have.
What baffles and frustrates the editor in the
face of all this is an attitude he not infrequently
encounters among those who are being cheated of
the right to decide for themselves what news
is. When he talks about freedom of information,
he often hears that what he really means is some
undefined special privilege of his own. He is com
plaining, he is told, because his vanity is hurt.
What he rails against is nothing of the kind.
His protests concern something he was never vain
enough to do. That is, insist on deciding what
news is without reference to what those who buy
the news consider it to be.
National newspaper week’s purpose will be
served if you, the reader, pause to contemplate
the big part you play in printing news and wheth
er you are willing to have that part taken away
from you. A sure way to lose it is to reason that
when freedom of information goes the editor is the
only loser. You lose far, far more than any editor
possibly can.

Benson Apologizes
Secretary Benson, appearing at his own re
quest before a senate subcommittee, has agreed
that for the agriculture department to have brand
ed Wolf Ladejinsky a security risk was “gratu
itous and unnecessary.” His own feeling had been,
he said, that the Russian-born expert simply was
not qualified to represent American agriculture
abroad.
As old as our country is and with all the
homegrown talent we have, there is nothing wrong
with that reasoning.
There is no more decent, sincere and forth
right official in government than Ezra Benson.
Americans, of course, want neither undepend
able nor disloyal government servants.
Mr. Benson, a high officer in the Mormon
church, would not intentionally harm anyone, and,
in our book, he is one of the very ablest men in
the administration.
When the liberals in our land rush to the aid
of someone for exploitat on purposes, the rest of
us can proceed cautiously and carefully—just as
Benson has done.
To be sure our screening of federal employees
and our security system are not what they should
be else the Ladejinsky case need not have been
kicked around as it was. And, after all, the lax
screening and security methods were the main ob
jectives of Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s inquiries, con
trary to what liberal writers and commentators
have led most people to believe.
Living Longer
That men and women are living longer is re
flected each week in the pages of The Frontier;
notably by the frequency of golden wedding anni
versaries.
Incidentally, the Omaha World-Herald has
adopted a policy of not reproducing pictures of
50th anniversary couples.
On the other hand, The Frontier, as a local
and regional journal, is pleased to publish pic
tures of golden wedding couples and those having
been married more than 50 years. We are compli
mented when invited to an observance.
However, we have adopted the policy of no
pictures for lesser anniversaries unless there are
other special newsworthy features to the stop'.

Erosion Problems
Confront Fanners
With fall and winter coming,
many farmers in Holt county are
wondering what kind of erosion
problems they will face this
winter and next spring after the
extended drought.
Many are recalling with con
cern the devastating erosion
problems which faced them in
the 1930’s after an extended
drought, the great dust storms
of 1935 and 1936, and the dev
astating Republican river flood
on Memorial day of 1935. The
flood was a direct result of in
sufficient cover and land treat
ment practices on the land cre
ated by the 1934 drought.
Harry E. Ressel, chairman of
the Holt county agricultural sta
blization and conservation com
mittee, said: “There are many
conservation practices which can
be done yet this fall and winter
if we receive some additional
moisture in the near future.”
The first steps toward estab
lishing a permanent grass and
legume cover for pasture are
usually done in the fall months.
If it is too dry for this type of
seeding, the planting of cover
crops such as sudan grass, millet,
fall rye, barley, or oats, is par
ticularly desirable on land which
now lacks insufficient cover and
will remain bare over the winter
months. These fall months are
also a good time to construct ter
races or similar land treatment
practices which will prevent wa
ter from leaving the land at a
disastrous rate of flow when the
rains do come.
“Some fine fall rains have been
received ovier most of the county
during the past two weeks,” Mr.
Ressel observed.
Farmers, who are contemplat
ing conservation measures, would
do well to check with their local
ASC office if they need assis
tance in carrying out such prac
tices.
Mr. Ressel stated that there
are still sufficient funds avail
able under the ACP program to
aid farmers in Holt with any
conservation practices they de
sire to carry out yet this fall. The
county ASC office is located in
O’Neill and can be contacted by
visiting there or telephoning O’
Neill 48.
