Lincoln, Sept. 9. 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.
