yield of wheat. Many did not sign
the contract, as they had not been
growing wheat regularly but their
experience this summer has encour
aged them to raise wheat and they
are expecting to sow some wheat this

any, and the few who did were dis
appointed in their yield.

Col. P. L. Hall is one of the Ne

re-opened to conform to President
Roosevelt's economy program. The
newly created board will be very busy
during the next two months or so,

who know Mr. Hall feel the greatest
of confidence in his ability.

Greenwood and Murray shipped a car
load of alfalfa seed to the east during

PIE-TIME IS ALL THE TIME
Many a housewife could serve pie
four days a week and still have the
family ask for pie on the fifth day.
Happy is the woman, therefore, who
has in reserve some pie surprises to
give her family a change.
Grape-Nuts add a new and very
welcome nut-like flavor to this raisin
pie. It will make a hit with the en
tire family.

Wheat Benefit
May Average
Dollar a Bushel
Reductions This Year to Be Only
15 Percent Instead of Ex
pected 20 Percent.
Twenty bushel wheat land taken
out of production under the Triple
A wheat plan will return $20 per
acre in benefit payments this com
ing year, W. H. Brokaw. state wheat
administrator said Tuesday. Likewise
fifteen bushel land would make 515
and ten bushel would make $10 per
acre in benefit payments. The farmer
considering the .Triple A plan can
roughly estimate that he will get as
many dollars per acre in benefit pay
ments as he got bushels of yield as an
average of the three base years.
1930 to 1932, the administrator siid.
By twenty bushel wheat land Bro
kaw meant land which has yielded
an average of twenty bushels per acre
during the years 1930 to 1932. In j
some counties an adjustment factor
helps actual yields.
Brokaw's statement followed Wal
lace's announcement from Washing
ton that the reduction requested this
year would be only 15 percent com
pared with the maximum of 20 per
cent which Nebraska farmers had
been considering.
In addition to certain payment of
approximately $1 per bushel, the
farmers who contract to reduce acre
age have a chance to realize up to
51.50 per bushel cince they get the
guarantee of parity price in three
benefit payments during the two year
period, Brokaw further explained.
Should the price of wheat go up and
the benefit payment go down, the
farmers will receive a higher price
for all of their wheat rather than
the benefit payment on 54 percent of
their wheat.
Farmers who contract to reduce
acreage will save the cash expense
and the risk of getting the wheat
crop on the acres they take out of
wheat. The first benefit payment is
to be made in two. installments, one
this fall and the other before har
vest time in 1934. The farmer also
is allowed to seed his land to an im
provement crop or 60 use it in eome
other, ways not yet i definitely an-
rnnnppil .
"Filing days," in the meantime,
are continuing in all parts of the
state. Indications point to a good per
centage of signers at the initial ses
sions. FUNERAL OF GEORGE BLACK
The funeral services of the late
George H. Black were held on Thurs
day afternoon at the Sattler funeral
home at Fourth and Vine streets, a
large number of the old friends being
present.
The services were conducted by Dr.
H. G. McClusky, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, who brought
words of comfort to the members of
the bereaved family circle who have
suffered the loss of the husband and
father.
During the service Mrs. E. H. Wes
cott gave . two numbers, "Rock or
Ages" and "The City Four Square,"
numbers that had been favorites of
the departed.
At the conclusion of the services
the body wa3 borne to the last rest
ing place in Oak Hill cemetery, the
pall bearers being the old friends
and associates, L. D. McKinney, A.
L. Brown, Max Vallery, Fred Tschir
ren, W. P. Rice, and H. E. Tincher.
WARN OF FRAUD
P. D. Rihn, county chairman of
the NRA for Cass county has receiv
ed the following letter and warning
from the state headquarters of the
movement and which warns the resi
dents of the state to be on guard
against fraud.
