State aid for the construction of a bridge over the Missouri rive at Niobrara, con necting the states of Nebraska and South Dakota at a new point, was asked by a committee for the K. N. D. Highway association who called on State Engineer Cochran at the Cap itol Tuesday. The estimated cost of the structure is several hundred thousand dollars to be divided among the two states and the neighboring counties and com munities. The K. N. D. (Kansas-Nebraska- Dakota) route is a North and South highway marked about two years ago. It enters Nebraska from the south at Superior, running north to Niobrara would take the place of a ferry now in operation. State Engineer Sochran suggested that a Misouri river boundary line bridge would probably have to be provided for, through a special ap propriation by the legislature, as no expenditure from the state aid bridge fund is contemplated by law for any structure that is not wholly within Nebraska. WARDEN FENT0N STARTS WAR ON "DOPE" AT PEN Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 7. A deter mined campaign against the introduc tion by stealth of narcotics to in mates of the state penitentiary has been inaugurated with Warden Fen ton leading the warring forces, he announced today. When he was first made warden several years ago, Warden Fenton found traffic in. ".dope" one, of the hardest problems he had to deal with. He succeeded in wiping out the traf fic. Suspected guards were discharged and persons having access to the pri son yards, suspected in connection with the furnishing of supplies to convicts, had their privileges cut off. The warden admitted today he had found traces of a renewal of the traf fic, and said he was fighting with every weapon at his command to shut off the supply at its sourc. Wants Hay Inspection in the Future Federal Bureau Is Ready to Co-operate With State, But McLaughlin. Lacks Authority to Help Pay Cooperative inspection of hay at shipping points by the state and federal departments was discussed at a conference Monday forenoon in the office of Secretary H. J. McLaughlin of the Nebraska department of agri culture. In the absence of any specific state law authorizing hay inspection Secretary McLaughlin said his co operation might not be of much bene fit. He has the matter under con sideration. He feels that the farmers and growers of hay are at the mercy of dealers who fix the price for them. E. E. Parker, representing the hay standardization bureau of the fed eral government was present stated that arrangements had been made for installing a federal licensed in spector at Kansas City. Federal in spection will start there September 1. Alfalfa hay is practically the only hay now shipped long distances. Con sumers in Georgia, Florida and other southern states and Wisconsin and Iowa buy Nebraska hay. Producers can sell to them subject to federal inspection at Kansas City, and ship ments can be reconsigned without loss in freight rates. Mr. Parker said he would like to install federal in spection at Omaha. All hay now shipped to Chicago is subject to fed eral inspection there. Licensed in spectors under federal and state co operation are now installed in Den ver, Ogden, Oklahoma City, and in the state of Texas. Mr. Parker said states are falling into line when convinced that fed eral and state inspection means that the grower who raises a better crop of hay than his neighbor will be rewarded by a better price. Grain marketing has been standardized, but the hay market has been in a choatic condition, due to the fault of no one particular class, the farmer, the deal er nor the consumer. Mr. Parker said California ranks first, Nebraska second and Kansas third in hay production. Prairie hay is not shiDned long ..distances be cause its feeding value is low and be cause of high freight rates. In the absence of any statute re lating to inspection of hay Secre tary McLaughlin s attention was called to general provision in the Nebraska law establishing the de partment of agriculture which Form er Governor McKelvie interpreted to mean the department could expend funds for any purpose for the benefit of agriculture. Under the law the department formerly expended funds for cooperation with reaeral govern ment in broadcasting markets and in furnishing market reports to news papers and for general distribution by mail, wire- or dario. That practice was discontinued by the Bryan state administration. Mr. McLaughlin said he did not care to expend funds without a spe cific statute on the subject. A conference of farmers was held last spring at Cozad to discuss hay inspection. Farmers there are re ported much interested.
