Institutions
Farm 8,124
Acres Yearly
By Melvin Paul
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press Association
LINCOLN—State institutions un
der the Board of Control farm
some 8,124 acres of land a year.
In addition, there are dairy, poul
try, hog and garden projects.
Don Frost, director of farming
operations for the board which sup
ervises the state institutions, says
such work provides activities for
patients and inmates that is
“healthful and productive.”
Additionally, he adds, it is prac
tical training for them and food
is produced that can be used by
the institutions
Eight of the 17 institutions under
the board are located on tracts of
land including about 5,000 tillable
acres of soil. In addition, the board!
leases some 2,500 acres.
Frost said for the biennium which
ended last July 1, the farming op
erations produced $1,945,372 in rev
enue, with expenses of $1,001,894,
for a profit of $343,478.
During the period, the board has
1,470 acres m pasture, 1,479 in corn
and 1,347 in campus, corrals and
shelter belts.
The penitentiary has 873 acres of
farm land and another 1,022 acres
are leased. It has a laying flock
of 2,200 hens and each spring about
5,000 baby chicks are purchased.
At the Men’s Reformatory in
Lincoln, about 900 acres of land
are tilled, with 300 of this devoted
to alfalfa.
These are sizeable dairy and
livestock operations at both insti
tutions.
Nebraska Youth
A committee of responsible Ne
braskans has taken a look at the
problems of young people in this
state.
It is the governor’s White House
Youth Committee.
The committee, after a nine
month study, made these observa
tions:
Nebraska may be "suffering be
cause of too many school districts
in the state and a lack of equali
zation of taxes."
The state could contribute more
funds to education. It now supplies
only 2 percent of school costs.
With the move of people from
rural to urban areas there is a
need for vocational training for
those children who do not stay on
the farm. For those who remain
in the country, there is a lack of
farm-training courses.
The problem of finding the right
job is one of the 10 big worries
of some 6,000 Nebraska teenagers
surveyed.
Improvement is needed in Ne
braska recreational programs and
facilities, with larger cities lacking
in leadership and small towns
most concerned with equipment and
physical facilities.
Most communities do not take
advantage of a mill levy that is
possible for parks and recreational
programs.
More aid is needed in the areas
of mental health, pediatrics, and
dentistry for children in Nebraska.
Sixty to TO percent of all children
m the state are cared for toy gen-1
eral practitioners and more extend
ed education is needed m the field
of pediatrics.
Nebraska Populatum
Experts in the field have an
alysed Nebraska palliation trends
since 1934
The overall report is not good
Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer of the Un
iversity of Nebraska, says the loss
of population in this state since
1924 was 408.000, caused by persons
leaving the state.
Hus is despite a fact pointed
out by Dr Otto G Hoiberg, a Un
iversity colleague—that there was
an increase in population of 131,490
from the 1950-59 period.
During the same nine-year per
iod, Hoiberg reports, the number of
workers in agriculture fell 7,000.
From 1965 to 1959, there were 95
new industries started in the state
Palmer said Nebraska has been
able to register a slight popula
tion gain since 1924 by a birth
rate increase of 20 percent in re
cent years.
Palmer says unless conditions
causing the out flow of Nebraskans
are checked, there may be a new
wave of migration during the cur
rent decade.
Since 1024, he said, Nebraska
has netted a yearly increase of
3,000 persons.
That figure is what's left from
the 27.800 aiuiual births, the 12.800
yearly deaths and the 12,000 year
ly migration to other states
state Employe*
There now are eight percent
more employes in state institutions
under the supervision of the State
Board of Control.
In a biennial report, the board
show is! during the past two years
there was a 2.6 percent drop in
the number of inmates and pat
ients in tile institutions.
The board now employes about
3,600 persons in 17 institutions it
supervises.
During the same two years the
average population of institutions
was 8,627.
Personnel Director Clifford Wid
enthaler says the main rea^un for
the increase in personnel is adopt
ion of the 40-hour work week at
tlie institutions, after a bill au
thorizing such a move was passed
in the last Legislature.

SIX-PASSENGER
CAR OR
STATION SEDAN
...CORVAIR IS BOTH!
A wonderfully useful folding seat makes every
Corvair two cars in one. Just one quick flip and you
increase the luggage and parcel space to 21.9 cubic
feet. And just as simply, you’re back to comfortable
six-passenger capacity. It’s standard equipment
. .. and extraordinarily practical.
Corvair does car-pool duty with the biggest
and best of them. Going to work or school or
out for the evening, you’ve got a genuine
six-seater. As for carting around piles of stuff
instead of people, just look at Corvair’s station*
sedan load space with the rear seat folded. And
when that’s full you can start on the trunk.
Corvair, you see, is no ordinary compact
car. No others are so versatile, so ingeniously
engineered—with independent suspension at
all four wheels, an air cooled rear engine
that never needs water or antifreeze. You just
can’t compare anything else coming out
these days with a Corvair. Drive one.,. eoon.
