Million Less
Hogs than Were
Listed in State
Federal Board Says That a Check
up Will Result in Prop
er Payments.
The state corn-hog board of re
view Wednesday issued a statement
estimating the overstatement of hogs
in Nebraska as shown by contract
and non-contract data at 1,030,000
head or about 12 percent of the
state's annual hog production.
"This is based," the statement
said, "on absolute records of hogs
marketed so there is positively no
doubt as to the overstatement."
Douglas county has protested its
corn-hog quota and indications were
that many other counties had done
likewise.
The overstatement of corn-hog re-
rtnrtirm rnntrart fiifrnprs thp state
ment said, was 14 percent, but was!
no greater than in other states and
less than in some.
"The government agreed." the
state review board said, "to
benefit payments on all hogs raised
and marketed. This is based on ac
tual records of numbers marketed
and may Include some duplicate mar
ketings which gives farmers numer
ical benefits. In addition, Nebraska
has undoubtedly profited by an in -
ward shipment of feeder pigs great-
pment oi leeaer pigs grc
ly in excess of the out shipments. The
benefit payments must be on the basis
of hogs actually raised and marketed
and if individual overstatement is
eliminated, all farmers will receive
their share."
The board's statement said It Is
opposed to flat cuts to farmers within
any count ybecause that is unfair to
the farmers who gave accurate state-
mpnts.
"Overstatements," it said, "were
found in Nebraska in all counties but
in varying degrees. All of this has
been measured thru dependable sta -
tistical processes and all counties
brought to a uniform base after
which the entire statement allot -
ment of hogs was apportioned to
each county on that base. "There-
foro. pvprv rmintv has received credit
for the actual number produced and
marketed. Counties that reduced
overstatement "at the signup have less
to eliminate now 'and "those who did
not, have more left to eliminate.
"If this overstatement is allowed
to remain, the government would get
approximately half the reduction call-
ed for and would be paying out money
for something that has not been re-
reived and the program could not be
a success. The broad purpose of the
program is to reduce hog production
25 percent which is deemed neces-
sary to obtain better prices for hogs."
A. E. Anderson, state and federal
agricultural statistician, who is
chairman of the board, indicated
there had been numerous complaints
about the county quotas ;but de-
clined to discuss them in detail.
Another statement issued by the
review board said county committees
are "eliminating their overstate-j
ments in hogs. Dakota county

Whitaker declared the plan to

the idea of a small group of south

"That's all very well," Wal

for Any Industry or Item.
The National Recovery ACministra-
tion officials Friday at Washington
reversed the matter of price fixing
I under the severl codes.
The force of the anti-trust laws
. against covert, price-maintaining
combination was made unquestioned
by the new plan, which reduced all
I code restrictions on prices to the
simplest terms, on a base which would
make arrangements to keep prices up
difficult if not impossible
j Only in definite emergencies would
even a minimum price be fixed for
any industry or any item. NRA men
' said they believed the new policy
represented the first agreement ot
either government or any business
aerericv on what constituted deslr
able price competition.
The declaration was a product of
j months 'of economic study, whlcn
was affected indiretly iy activities of
I groups such as the Darrqw board. It
responded partly to earlier public
criticism and observation of officials
on result of the experimental codes
Announcement of the new policy
was made simultaneously with dis
closure that the fifty or so industrial
( ists who have worked with NRA as
members of the industrial advisory
board some of them with names
known to the whole nation have ar
' ranged to meet in Hot Springs, Vr.
within ten days to compare views on
NRA operation and pass upon ideas
for changes. The meeting will be
strictly private and Hugh S. John
i son may or may not attend.
The core of the new price policy
is:
1. Wilfully destructive price eut-
inS is forbidden ana any prices
WHICH appear unreasonaDie low may
be investigated and a correction re-
quired if they are found to be un-
fair.
2. Fixing of even a minimum price
will be allowed only in cases of dem-
ment or Wage levels. Then only
NRA shall have the right to deter
mine what is the minimum price to
be ed and it shall be "the lowest
ing figure fnr the majority of enter.

Donats Take a
Fast Game from
the Legion Team
Score of 11 to 5 Rolled Up and Many
Home Runs Feature Contest
at Athletic Park.
The Donat's team in the kitten
ball league which met defeat last
week, staged a strong comeback last
evening at the Athletic park when
they trimmed the American Legion
team by the score of 11 to 5.

as their hurler and who pintched a
good game and was steady in the
pinches while the Legion had the
services of Ray Herold, who last year
was hurler for the Iowa-Nebraska
Light & Power Co.

ting in the last forged them to the
front. Home runs were secured by
Arley Vanlaningham, Robert Hum

GYPSIES CAUSE TROUBLE
Under the above heading, the Ham
burg, Iowa, Reporter, tells of the ap
pearance of a band of gypsies in that
portion of the country, believed to
have been the same group that Dep
uty Sheriff Tom Walling escorted out
cf this county a few days ago. The
Reporter's article states:
"A band of gypsies, five women, a
man and two babies, were up to their
usual tricks Saturday and by night
had been taken up twice for stealing
and each time permitted to go on
their way by returning the money.
Too bad they could not have been
given the rock pile treatment, which
would be a warning to other roving
tribes.
"At the Tom Chambers home near
Watson they got away with f 15 be
longing to Mrs. Chambers. They gave
her a 'lucky penny to put with her
other money, which she did. This
gave them a tip to where her money
wa.3, and while her attention was
attracted by part of the band, the
others secured the money. The theft
was soon noticed and Hamburg au
thorities notified. They stopped the
band and upon arrival of the Atchi
son ccuaty authorities were released
after giving back the money.
"The same afternoon they visited
the Fletcher McAIexander home near
McPaul and got away with $12.
They got across the river at Nebras
ka City and after giving them a hot
chase, the officers caught them and
brought them back. After consider
able trouble they returned this mon
ey. Two bad breaks in a day no doubt
will not discourage this band."
