Wolf Hunt a Success
Frank Rosenow is to be congratu
lated on the success which was had
at the wolf hunt on last Saturday.
Some five hundred men in all partici
pated in the round up. There were
three wolves enclosed in the thirty
gix square miles which was surround
ed by men. There were many rabbits
killed and three wolves, which were
drawn to the center of the area when
the hunters closed in on them. The
cleaning and combing of the territory
was evidence that there are but few
wolves in the county. To all of the
five hundred people who participated
in the hunt, Mr. Rosenow extends
thanks, and from- the excellent time
which all had in the hunt, it is evi
dent that they were well paid for
their half day's sport.
Omaha Firm
to Built State
Capitol Tower
Peter Kiewit's Sons Are Successful
Bidders, as Is Omaha
Steel Works.
Lincoln. Neb., Feb. 2. The gen
eral contract for constructing the
tower of the state capitol building
was awarded to Peter Kiewlt's Sons
of Omaha, by the capitol commission
Thursday evening, after a delibera
tion that lasted two and one-half
hours.
The successful bid was $1,049.
000. while the next lowest bid by
5. H. Wiese Contracting company
of Omaha, builder of the first and
second sections of the structure, wa
$1,062,000.
Other contracts also were award
ed. The Omaha Steel Works' bid of
232 thousand dollars on structural
teel was taken. Kiewit's Sons tied
with a separate bid on steel.
Omahan Awarded Plumbing
B. Grunewald of Omaha, whose
bid was $40,750. was awarded the
contract for plumbing for the tower.
Newberg & Bookstrom of Lincoln
were awarded a contract for heating
and ventilating equipment at $39.
043. This firm and Grunewald were
successful bidders on the first and
second sections.
Bids on elevators and electric
work were deferred for further con
sideration. Bids on marble wainscoting for
the corridors for the first and second
floors of the present structure were
rejected. Three bids on the wains
coting were practically the same, at
a figure approximating 49 thousand
dollars.
Secretary Cochran said the mat
ter of union labor was not discussed
Thursday by the commission. The
commission's specifications provide,
however, that contractors shall give
the preference to Nebraska labor.
At a meeting of the commission Tues
day, following the opening of bids,
Peter Kiewit stated that his firm op
erates an open shop and Mr. Wiese
stated that he had employed union
labor on the building.
Capitol Costs Mount.
The commission's records show
that the first and second sections
of the capitol, now nearly completed,
will cost $6,536,631. The bids in
dicate that the tower will cost $1,
4 40.000. The senate wing will be
contracted for later.
Construction of the central tower
of the Nebraska capitol will run
the cost of that structure, still un
completed and without setting that
is planned for it. above eight mil
lion dollars, virtually exhausting the
fund provided by the legislature for
the entire edifice and its surround
ings and iuxiliaries. World-Herald.
FASCISTS IIMT SUFFRAGE
Rome, Feb. 3. (Friday) The
grand council of the fascist party
under the presidency of Premier
Mussolini early today adopted the
parliamentary reform plan evolved
last fall restricting elections to one
ticket and suffrage to members of
the fascist guild.
The fascist grand council approv
ed limitation of suffrage and parties
last November, but the reform as in
stituted then bore evidence of being
a temporary' measure Apparently
this morning's action, the climax of
a meeting, makes permanent provi
sion for the suppression of universal
suffrage in Italy.

Coddling Moth
Serious Menace
Apple Growers in Southeast Ne
braska Face Heavy Loss
From Pest.
Lincoln A man who was former-
I ly engaged in apple growing in Ne
j braska and later tried the same busi
ness in Colorado, says tnai coouuuk
moth and other pests can only be
controlled by state-wide action. In
dividual efforts will not check these
pests unless generally adopted, he
says, and Nebraska apple growers
must have legislation which will pro
tect them.
I "I left the business a few years
ago." he says. "Orchardists had giv
en up the fight because of the tre-
; mendous expense of spraying and
the ever-increasing number of wormy
apples. Pears were gradually going
the same route, despite determined
infestation to all the others, no mat
dling moth. I was in the territory
last fall and found that it is steadily,
rather rapidlyf and surely going
out of apple production, and some
have started pulling up their pear
! trees.
"They have concluded in Colo
! rado that independent efforts to con
trol the coddling moth cannot be
'successful because a single poojj-
kept orchard in a locality will spread
I infestation to all the others, on mat-
1 ter how well they are maintained.
Either there must be a centralized
organization empowered to take all
necessary actions to curb the cod
dying moth, even to the point of con
fiscation of orchards poorly kept, or
the business will ultimately perish,
a leading horticulturist told me.
"That is a gloomy picture, but I
cannot see why the same situation
may not ultimately develop in Ne
braska." the Coloradoan said.
In talking to the fruit growers of
Nebraska at Organized Agriculture
meeting in Lincoln recently. E. H.
Hoppert. extension specialist, told
them that the coddling moth is keep
ing abrest of the times and putting
up a great scrap for his existence. K
ie has brains, he is certainly using
them to outwit men who would pro
duce big crops of marketable ap
ples. Orchardiats in southeastern Ne
braska and the Nebraska college of
agriculture have been working now
for two years on experiments with
spray control of this pest. These
tests proved that coddling moth can
not be controlled by, dusting or by
spraying once her brood. - They have
also proved that the coddling moth
cage is a valuable piece of equip
ment in any orchard, and that a de
finite schedule of epraying must be
followed all season if the apple crop
is to contain a high percentage of
marketable apples.

Farmers Urged
to Hold Produc
tion to Demand
Outlook for Crops Favorable, but
Price Fixed by Domestic De- j
mand Livestock Better. j
The salient features of the nation
al Agricultural Outlook of the TJ. S.
Dept. of Agriculture, that are of
vital interest and concern to Nebras
ka farmers are released below, thru
the local office, the state and federal
Division of Agriculture statistics. j
"Some improvement in agriculture
is expected this year if farmers avoid
expansion of production and continue
to balance production with demand.'
The domestic demand should be as
good or better than the past year,
while the foreign demand and pur
chasing power is no better because
the competition is greater.
The agricultural credit situation
has improved and interest rates are
showing a further decline. The farm
labor supply will be larger if any
thing. Farm wages and prices of
farm machinery are not likely to
change but building materials when
(purchased in quantities are expected
to be lower. ;
Crop Situation
The world wheat crop will prob
ably be large again if average or bet
ter yields are obtained. Unless there
is a heavy winter-kill of wheat, any
material increase in spring wheat
will tend to further increase the
world supply and reduce prices. Flax
can be increased profitably to replace
spring grains.
Corn acreage will probably show
little change. With average yields, a
crop equal to that of 1927 may be
expected and with the more geo
graphical distribution of the crop,
prices are more likely to approach
the average of the 1926 crop than
those which have prevailed to date
for the 1927 crop.
Prospects for other small grains
appear less favorable. Oats are likely
to meet a less favorable market since
present prices have been affected by
yields below average for the past two
years. Barley is unlikely to bring as
high prices as in 1927, when there
was a shortage of feed grains in
Europe.
There is a large carry-over of hay
and with decreased hay consuming'
animals, it appears that even with ;
yields below avcerage this year, the
crop will exceed normal requirements.
The adjustment of this unbalanced
situation should be in the direction
of fewer acres of feed crops rather j
than more livestock. I
Potato growers in northeastern and
north central states are planning
substantial increases in acreage. If j
such intentions are carried out, and
western growers do not decrease their
acreage more than planned, there is
little probability of returns from po
tatoes equal to those of the past
three years.
Fruit production has reached a
point where it is difficult to market!
at satisfactory prices when weather I
conditions are favorable for good j
fluenced by long time prospects and
loss of temporary conditions. How
ever, commercial apple
production
will continue to increase for
some
imC .nH thrr u nnthino in thp imnb
outlook to undulv discourage com-
mercial growers who are favorably
located and who produce high qual-
!ity at a low cost. Increased grape
acreage seems inadvisable.

look is not so good. An increased

Prospects point to a continued large
world production of sugar at present
price levels.
Livestock Situation
The livestock situation seems more
favorable. Beef cattle for slaughter
and stockers and feeders will average
higher prices this year than last, al
though the peak prices of last year ;
may not be equaled. Market supplies
of cattle in 1I2S will probably be 6
to 10 smaller.
Hog prices seem likely to show
some strengthening, but no very ma
terial change beyond the usual seas-
oncl fluctuations until next fall or
I winter, when market supplies will
' probably be affected by the curtail-
ed production resulting from the
present unsatisfactory- price situation,
Some improvements in domestic de-
mand for pork is anticipated, but ex-
port demand during the greater part
of 1928 promises to be even lower

Domestic demand is likelv to be
maintained during the coming year
and consumption is likely to con-
tinue to increase faster than produc-
tion so that the increasing foreign
supplies will be further drawn upon
to supply domestic production. This
