THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1934. PAGE FIVE 1 Cass County Farm f Bureau Notes Copy furnished from Office ' J. of Cnuuf.y Agent vainscott Modify Feeder Pig Purchase Rulings. . Corn hog contract signers may now buy any number of feeder pigs from any one who has pigs to sell, according to a statement received from Washington the first of this vt ek. In order to keep records of com pliance straight iu the county of fice rf the corn hog association, the federal adjustment administration will require that each purchaser of feeder pigs either keep them sepa rate from other hogs on the farm cr ear mark them so they can be readily identified. The purchaser is also to fill cut a blank and file it with the county corn hog association within a week after the pigs are bought. Blanks for this purpose are not yet available. Farmers who buy pigs within the next few days should keep the following information so they can fill out the blank when it comes Date of purchase, name and address cf seller, number and average weight of pigs, and kind of identification mark used. The modification of the previous rulings about feeder pigs applies to the four months, August, Septem ber, October, and November. Lack of feed in drouth areas and the nec essity of moving feeder pigs across county and state lines made it ad visable to open up the buying and selling of these pigs for contract signers. To date no further statement has been made by the federal corn hog administration regarding excess pigs. The state administration at Lincoln ha3 submitted three proposals to the men at Washington but received no reply. All of the proposals were based upon the emergency drouth situation existing over much of the state. Check Corn Hog Compliance. The Nebraska corn hog compliance program started over the entire state Tuesday and Wednesday of this week in nine district conferences of corn hog allotment committees, agricul tural agents and men chosen to take charge of the compliance program irf each county. A county school will be held first to train men to figure corn acreage, count hog3, and fill out the com pliance blank on each farm under contract. Local men, most of them farm boys or men with contracts, have applied for the work and will le selected by an examination at the close of the school. They will be known as supervisors. When the supervisor has filled out the blank and proved compliance with the contract, and the allotment committee has approved the state ment, the proper blanks will go to Washington to be reviewed by repre sentatives of the Secretary of Agri culture and the United States Treas ury. When the blank for a contract is accepted in Washington, the farm er will get his last payment on corn and his second payment on hogs This will amount to about 14 cents on corn and 1 per head on hogs. He will still have his last installment of hog payment coming after he proves he has complied with the hog part of the contract on December 1. Farmers with contracts are being sent a litter asking them to be ready to help the supervisors cn the corn acreage r.nd hog count and in filling out the blanks. As the supervisors go about their work, they will notify the farmers a day or two in ad vance regarding the exact day and hour of their visit. Live Stock Entries In for State Fair.

Telephone IS FOR INSURANCE AND BONDS WE ARE PREPARED TO GIVE SERVICE AND PROTECTION! New Location We are now located in the first build ing east of Cass county court house. Duxbury & Davis Representing the largest and Oldest Insurance Companies in America The state board recognizes that the club members and leaders taking part in the fair activities and are arranging for their admission to the fair grounds. This will be managed by giving an identification mark to each club member and leader and transporting them to the fair grounds unless they use the trans portation furnished them. The individuals taking part in the Fair and entitled to this identifica tion, are club members who are ex hibiting and caring for their live stock (this includes baby beef, dairy, swine and sheep), members of dem onstration, judging, meat identifica tion and dairy products teams, indi viduals in style show, health, and song events. Local leaders or chap erones actually in charge of the supervision of these groups, one per team or group and one per club of livestock are included among these entitled to admission. Those entitled to these concessions should get a statement from their county extension agent and present the same at the student activity building. It is beginning to loon as if this country is suffering from the legis lative indigestion. There is a dis tinct danger that any abuse of au thority, so easily handed out by con gress will do much harm instead of good. In abuse of authority, we refer to the growing polity of congress to rush bills through without proper consideration. Congress is supposed to give ample time and thought to every law they pass and not rush anything through. Now the average member of con gress may be an irreproachable fam ily man, a devout worshiper at church,, an exemplary taxpayer, and he may think it is not necessary to wade through page after page of printed matter to know how he is to vote for the best interests of the peo ple. But the fact is that in many instances he just votes and doesn't know what it is all about until it is too late. The economy bill was a case in point. The bill was rushed through as if it were vital to th? country's existence ar.d after it had passed, con gress found out its injustices and their mistakes and turned around and corrected a few of the mistakes. It is hope that the next congress will repeal the bill. What the country spent on its dis abled veterans was only a drop in the bucket to what it now spends for oth er things.
