Less Cattle on
Feed in Nebraska
the Coming Year
Corn Prices Check Buying of Feeders
Says State Report Sweet
Clover Crop Increased
i ui ine u ami; Dureau goveri
ent information indicates tnatiboard; Fred g Knapp, presiden
ttle will be fed in Nebraska , the chamber and Alvln F. Johns
Prese
thi winter than last. Conditions
nin indicate that considerably few
er cattle will be fed in both the
corn belt and western states, accord
ing to a statement made today Dy me
state and federal division of agricul
tural statistics.
The indicated reduction in feed
I np- in the corn belt and western
states may be accounted for by a big
falling off in available supplies of
feeder cattle witn resulting mgu
prices, a threatened shortage in the
corn crop in important feeding areas
with the consequent big advance in
corn prices, and short pastures in
many feeding areas during August
and September
In Nebraska, hay and feed supplies
are plentiful but at present cattle
feeders are not placing cattle in the
feed lots on account of the high price
of feeder cattle and of corn. It is
probable, however, that developments
later in the season may place the to
tal number of cattle fed this year
above last year's total. Some sections
cf the state, particularly the north
west, will feed more cattle than last
vear with probably some increase in
the central and south central por
tions of the state. Less locally raised
cattle will be available for feeding
this year on account of last years
forced shipment which reduced
breeding herds.
Shipments of unfinished cattle
passing through stockyards points in
to the corn belt during the three
months July to September this year
were 25 per cent smaller than for the
same period last year and the smallest
in ten years. Supplies of locally
raised cattle in this area were consid
erably smaller on January 1, 1927,
than for any year in the last ten
while shipments to market during the
first six months of 1927 were almost
a3 large as 1926 when they were the
second largest on record. Everything
points to a much smaller available
supply of feedjng cattle in these
states than last year.
The improved outlook for corn pro
ducti'. and weakening corn prices
may be expected to stimulate the de
mand for feeder cattle during the
next two months although price for
such cattle is now nearly $2 above
the price at this time last year. The
latest estimate of the corn crop shows
i corn supplies in the corn belt to be
vear
Missouri river will
h t t f
States west
have more
st of the Missis
sippi will have much less. A consid
erable decrease in feeding is expect
ed in the latter states compared to
last year. Some increase would be
expected in the Trans-Missouri area
jf supplies of cattle are forthcoming.
In spite of the high prices on heavy
finished cattle that have prevailed for
smaner man n was iasi.
Sweet Clover
Nebraska has 416,000 acres of
sweet clover this year, an Increase of
15.3 per cent over last year, accord
ing to the assessers' returns of acre
age compiled by the state and federal
division of agricultural statistics.
The area in sweet clover this year
is 55,000 acres above last year. The
present area is 416,000 acres as com
1 a, O rt A i rw
' last year: ine
Increasing popularity of sweet clover
is shown by the marked increase In
acreage since 1920 as follows: 1920,
20.000 acres; 1921. 54.000 acres;
1922. 65,000 acres; 1923, 122,000
acres: 1924. 145.000 acres; 1925.
246,000 acres; 1926. 361,000 acres
and 1927. 416,000 acres.
Sweet clover is used principally for
pasture and as a soil builder. How
ever, a large quantity of seed is har
vested each year and the annual pro
duction now exceeds 100,000 bushels
and is worth three quarters of a mjl
lion dollars at farm price. A small
per cent of the acreage is cut for hay.,
Perhaps no other crop can compete
with sweet clover for pasture under
semi-arid conditions. This was amply
demonstrated last year when nearly
all pasture except sweet clover had
given out under the drouthy condi
tions. DAWES SPONSORS A TR00P

Democrats to
Hold District
Caucuses
O'Malley Says That He Won't Be
Delegate to Convention on
Any '-Slate."
Lincoln. Neb.. Oct. 20. George
O'Malley of Greeley county and Max
Adams of Dannebrog, both of whom
attended the caucus of democratic
members of the legislature at Grand
Island this week, were In Lincoln
today and outlined the p:an fof dis
trict coucuses to be held by demo
cratic leaders in each congressional
district this fall.
O'Malley is democratic floor leader
of the house, and has been mention
ed prominently as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor
Adams was chairman of the Grand
Island caucus.
The district meetings will be helc"
to go over democratic policies before
the campaign, and will be followed
by another state meeting composed
of delegates named at the district
meetings.
This second conference, according
to Adams, will be held at Grand Is
land probably, and will be for the
purpose of recommending democrat
ic policies for the campaign.
Each district meeting will be in
charge of two vice-chairmen, Adam?
declared, who will be appointed by
himself and Charles Chapelle of Min-
den, .secretary of the Grand Island
caucus.
The district caucuses will strivr
to get good men to-file for the legis
lature and state offices, said Adams
Two planks which probably will be
in the democratic platform, accord
ing to O'Malley and Adams, are: In
dorsement of the state bank guar
anty law and recommendation of the
repeal of the state intangible tax law
O'Malley said today he had nol
made up his mind whether he would
file for governor and also as to wheth
er he will be a candidate for dele
gate at large to tle. democratic na
tional convention.
"I would only be a candidate for
delegate on condition that I could
vote for the candidate best fitted to
rry out the ideals of the democratic
party and will not be pledged to any
slate," O'Malley declared.
SMALL STORES MUST OR
GANIZE TO FIGHT CHAINS
Small retailers need not be frozen
out bv the chain store systems, pro-
videdthey will organize as have the
fruit growers, according to Edward
A. Filene, president of Wm. Filene's
Sons company, speaking before the
National Association of Stationers,
Office Outfitters and Manufacturers
at the Hotel Statler at Boston.
"Concentrated ownership's not es
sential to the success of the chain
store plan. If the small stores will
form strong associations, pool their
buying, and adopt the cost cutting
methods used by the chains they will
have all the advantages of the chain
store system, combined with the many
advantages that go with owner-management."
Mr. Filene believes that there is
a tendency in many lines of trade to
do away with the wholesaler. There
is an opportunity, he says, for the
wholesalers to save themselves by
taking the initiative in organizing
their retail customers into chains of
individually owned stores.
"Compared with the past," says
Mr. Filene. "this is the Golden Age
of American Business. But it is
nowhere naarly as golden as the times
that are ahead for those business
men who organize themselves to han
die mass distribution."

Boy Confesses
to Burglary
Youth Rounded Up and Charged With
Burglaries That Have Been
Committed There.
A young boy was apprehended late
Monday night when he was found
trying to enter the Jones oarber shop
from the rear. The boy was taken
into custody by the town officers the
next morning and upon investigation,
he confessed to having entered the
barber shop some time ago, and tak
ing a sum of money left in a cash
drawer. He was taken to Tlatts
mouth by the authorities Tuesday,
and while the officers were in anoth
er room, leaving the boy alone, he
managed to slip away, leaving them
in a quandary.
There has been much petty thiev
ery among several of the business
houses of late, most of them being
entered at night and small sum of
money, left in registers or cash draw
ers, leing tanen, tne marouoer ap
parently not pothering to take mer
chandise or any articles found in the
stoics. The stores of Chris Elgaard.
Ambler Bros., Olive-s confectionery
and Jones barber shop were the
places which have been entered late
ly, and which caused much suspic
ion as to the conduct of several
young boys of the community.
The boj- arrested here Tuesday,
who is about fifteen years old. Is quite
well known in the community, hav
ing lived here most of his life with
his parents, who are known as res
pectable, working people, and we feel
that the community should be grieved
indeed to have the misdemeanors of
the youth, who in all probability did
not realize the extent of the outrage
which he was committing, to reflect
undully upon them. and we are print
ing this story with the sincere hope
that the parens of he communiy will
nke heer, as well as the bovg and
girls themselves, and make the re
solve that this-shall be the end of
any such misdemeanors among thy
local people.
