Two Million in Nebraska Face Changes of Use May Sead the Land to Kill Weeds, Terrace, Fallow and Plant ing of Trees. With the prospect of about two million acres of Nebraska land out of production under wheat and corn hog reduction programs, the problem of planning the 1934 crop year is now facing thousands cf farmers. In the wheat campaign close to 400,- 000 acivs were laid out and it is ex rected that about a million and a !.alf will be taken out under the corn hog plan. In addition to benefit payments which farmers are considering as 1 ash rent for land, the government is allowing farmers to seed the con tracted acres down, to kill bad weeds on it, to terrace it to prevent erosion, to fallow it, or to plant it to trees ."or fuel or posts. P. H. Stewart, ex tension agronomist at the- agricultur al college, doesn't believe Nebraska ; farmers will ur-e any new crops on these acres. Most, he thinks, will resort to sweet clover, alfalfa, tame hay mixtures or fallow on the land. Quite a number of farmers are go ing after binclerweed and ether per ennial weeds with vengeance. A few will plant large woodlots and others j will devote their efforts toward con- i trcl of soil erosion thru terraces and danio. Benefit payments will pay the taxes and help finance such improve ments in soil fertility and producing ability. Stewart lias sent a copy cf the Ne braska extension service circular on permanent an tltempcrary pastures to all agricultural agents of the state. It contains the latest and most prac tical suggestions of the college. SUGAR SETUP WINS FIGHT Xew York. Federal Judge Mack declined to dissolve the Sugar Insti tute, an association of fifteen large refiners of imported cane sugar, but ruled in favor of the government's contention that many of the insti tute's practices violated the Sherman anti-trust act. After denying the government's petition for dissolving the institute, Judge Mack sustained allegations that methods of price-fixing, grant ing freight rebates, storage charges and distribution are discriminatory. Judge Mack ruled "most of the relief demanded by the government must be granted." He ordered decrees, em bodying his findings, submitted for his signature.

Sharp Shooters Go Gunning for Chicago Police Captain Assigns Bad Man E-juad to Hunt the Outlaw Down. Chicago. The hunt for John Dil linger brought forth a man who claimed to have talked with the out law fugitive a few hours previously. E. II. Deacon, 35, identified photo graphs of Dil'.inger as a man who en tered his filling station on Chicago's north cide Wednesday night, washed his hands and face, adjusted shoul der holsters holding two pistols, and left with a veiled warning for Dea con to be quk-t.. Deacon's report caused Police Capt. John Stcge to revive his special "Dil linger army" of sharp shooters, as signed to hunt for desperado and his band last fail, but disbanded when he was captured with several of his men in Tucfjon. Squads of police pa trolled the south side for blocks around the vicinity of 73rd sts. and Stony Island ave., where Deacon re ported conversing with Dillinger. They had no luck, but Stege predict ed grimly: "We'll find him if he's in Chicago, and v. lion we do he'll never go back to Indiana, except may be in a box." Eight squads with riot equipment were n.-Zigned under Stege. That Dillinger was hiding on the south side was the firm conviction of Chief of Detectives Schoimakcr. 'We've had six telephone calls in two days tipping us off that he's in a certain district," Schoeniakcr said, "and unlets I'm badly mistaken those calls are coining from someone who knows what he's talking about." Deacon was positive in his identi fication of the man he believed to be Dillinger. "Ho drove up in a gray sedan without license plates," Dea con raid. "lie asked to wash and then said, 'Gimme a towel. I gave him one, an el noticed a cartridge belt around his waiot and two pistols un der his arm-:. "I took my money changer and tried to put it somewhere, thinking he might attempt a ttickup, but he raid, 'I don't wai t your dough. " 'Don't yon know me?' he asked me, and I said, 'I don't know yen, no.' He raid. 'Weil ynu'd better not." Attorney General Critic. Washington. Attorney General Cummings sharply criticised Lake county, Indian::', officialj for the es cape of John Dillinger, and the di rector cf prisons ruled that no longer would federal prisoners be confined there. The action of Sheriff Lillian Hoiley and Prosecutor Robert Estill in posing for a picture with the des perado was characterized by Attor ney General Cur.imings in "one of the most disgraceful episodes I know anything bo In Crown Poir.t Mrs.. Ilolley denied she had po;:ed with the man who walked out of her jail after whittling a pistol from a block cf wood. She said: "Naturally, considering my job, I was amor.:,' tho.se present when Dillinger was brought to Crown Point. Photographs were takt n of a group of peo;d of whom I war. one."
