Two years ago at her former home
in I'lattsmouth, Nob., Miss Gorder
began work on the house and furni

MOVES TO NEW QUARTERS
Z37ISZS FEEDING CF CORN
Feeding the 1932 Nebraska corn
crop to livestock should bring farm
CT.i more than elevator prices for
their grain, L the prediction made
by Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the col
leg3 cf agriculture.
It is estimated that the 1932 Ne
braska crop will be above the five
year average and 100 million more
bushels than were produced last year.
Mojf of the corn will be fed on farms
where it is produced. In many sec
tions some of the crop has already
been fed to livestock which have
been running in the fields.
"It is difficult and inadvisable to
say to what kind of stock one should
feed new corn," Gramlich declares.
"Prospect3 for markets during the
winter are none too bright. Whers
one has hogs raised upon the farm
and not ready for market, naturally,
the only thing to do is to properly
finish them."
Very little if any of the new corn
crop has been sold, and elevators over
the date are bidding 12 to 13 cents
on a basi of, December delivery.
Farmers as-a result are' more Inter
33ttd in . marketing tbo crop ' thru
livestock' ia order tq get better pfice.3
for the grain. Last year Nebraska

A printing officer met us when we
got into the place,
And he greeted us with welcome and
a warm smile on his face;
Then took us to another room where
some folks were making news
An dad told the edilorman he'd

And the editorman wa3 tickled when

he slapped dad on the back.
