DeMolay Party
is Wrecked Near
Fort Crook
Falls City Youths Returning to Om
aha After Dance Have Car Wreck
at Overpass Early Sunday.
Among the many auto accidents
that were checked up for Saturday
night and Sunday was one in which
Don Thomas, 21, former Plattsmouth
boy, Frank Peck, 21 and George
Hechf, 18, all of Falls City, were
victims.
The young men were in attend
ance at the state convention of the
Order of DeMolay being held in Om
aha, which was climaxed by the ban
quet and dance given for the visit
ing members of the order by the Om
aha chapter. The young men had es
corted three young ladies from this
city to the dance and returned with
them, it being on their trip back to
Omaha that the accident occurred.
The young men had left Falls City
early on Saturday and evidently
growing sleepy the car had gotten
from their control and overturned.
The plight of the party was dis
covered by Virgil Hutton and part;-
of friends who were returning from
Omaha to this city and who rescued
thera from the wreckage. Thomas
had been able to get out of the car
but it was necessary to break the
windshield in order to get Peck and
Hecht out of the car. Mr. Hutton
took two of the party on into Omaha
for treatment while passing motorists
assisted in getting the third of the
trio to the hospital.
It was found on examination that
Thomas had a long cut on the head
and Hecht also had several cuts and
bruises, but after first aid they were
released and able to go home. Frank
Peck was more severely injured and
suffered an injury to his hip and is
still at the St. Joseph hospital at
Omaha for treatment.

Feed Agency
Lists Supplies for
Drought Areas
Aid to Be Extended to Areas Swept
by the Drought and the
Dust Storms.
Feed and forage supplies lLsted
with the Federal Livestock Feed
Agency, with offices at Kansas City
and Amarillo, Texas, offer a valuable
source of feed for livestock in the
unrelieved drought and dust-storm
area, according to H. J. Gramllch,
special advisor on feed to the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration.
Mr. Gramllch, who has Just return
ed from a survey of the drought area,
pointed out that while most of the
feeds available for immediate ship
ment into the drought area are un
familiar to Great Plains livestock
feeders, they have a relatively high
feed value and their use will enable
producers to hold livestock until
rains may make pastures available.
"Throughout mo6t of the drought
area, comprising western Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, and
the eastern part of New Mexico and
Colorado, livestock normally are turn
ed on grass April 15. As a result of
the drought, combined with coverage
of grass by dust, there is no green
feed available," said Mr. Gramllch.
"Supplies of roughage are practical
ly exhausted, and dealers have about
exhausted all their sources of sup
plies of usual feed."
"However, the Livestock Feed
Agency has listed several thousands
ton of oat and velch mixed hay from
Oregon and Washington; upwards of
50,000 tons of grain hay mixed with
alfalfa, from California and Arizona;
5,000 cars of Lespedeza hay and
Johnson grass hay from Alabama.
Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi;
a quantity of soy bean hay from Illi
nois; and approximately 100,000
acres of pasture In Missouri, Arkan
sas, and Oklahoma."
"In expanding the source of sup
ply roughage for dealers and pro
ducers, through agency listings it
should be emphasized that the feed
listed, while not usually fed in the
region affected by the drought, is
generally quite satisfactory. Lespe
deza is a legume, and its hay is com
parable to alfalfa in feed value.
Vetch Is also a legume, being high in
protein, and in combination with oat
hay, which is high in carbohydrates,
makes a roughage satisfactory for
either work horses or cattle."
Johnson grass, Mr. Gramllch said,
is similar to fine-stemmed cane hay
and is equal in feed value to either
fine cane hay or sudan grass. Soy
hay, while not attractive looking, is
very high in feed value, being rich
in protein. "To those not familiar
with soy bean hay," he said, "It ap
pears to be stemmy and course. How
ever, livestock will consume even the
coarsest parts of the plant with
relish."
California and Arizona mixed al
falfa and grain hay will cost pro
ducers approximately S20 per ton de
livered; oat and velch hay from the
Willamette valley will cost approxi
mately $18 per ton delivered; Les
pedeza will cost about $9 per ton,
f. o. b. Nashville, Tenn., to which
must be added 1 6 to $8 freight
charges; Johnson grass will cost $9
to $10 per ton In Alabama, and 112
In Mississippi, to which should be
added 1 6 to $8 per ton for freight;
Soy bean hay or sample grade sells
for about $10 per ton In Illinois, and
with freight added to the drought
area, will cost from $18 to $20 per
ton.
Another source of feed is corn fod
der conserved last fall by the Mis
ourl relief commission. The commis
sion bought a large acreage of stand
ing corn for harvest as fodder by re
lief labor. In the last few days more
than 100 cars of this baled fodder
haa been shipped into western Kan
sas. It is estimated that approxi
mately 50,000 tons are available.
Mr. Gramllch estimates that 90
percent of the cattle in the afflicted
area are breeding stock and milk
cows. "Farmers do not want to sell
this livestock," he said. "They would
like to hold It for at least another
month if possible in the hope that
there may be sufficient rain to bring
pasture and enable them to keep
these animals 'which are an Integral
part of their farm equipment. By
establishing the branch office of the
feed agency it is hoped to accelerate
the movement of this feed to dealers,
and thus to close the gap between the
supply of these feeds not ordinarily
used in the great plains region and
the livestock producer."

nation. It Is to your Interest and
mine that thefr business of pro
ducing be plaoed on a profitable
basis, for then we alt share
In that prosperity.

McCARL BACKS GRAIN PLAN
Washington. The agricultural
adjustment administration announc
ed Comptroller McCarl had approved
the 1935 supplementary wheat con
tracts under which benefit payments
will be made to farmers even tho
they plant their full base acreage.
Bocause he drouth disrupted pro
duction plans for wheat this year, the
AAA determined to remove contract
restrictions on plantings. Under this
plan tho farmers will make no re
ductions In 1935 but will recclvo
payment for the reductions they had
planned. These farmers will make
the 1935 reductions in 1936, In ad
dition to any acreage reductions
planned for next year.
The modified program was expect
ed to result In the planting of an
additional 900,000 to 2,300,000 acres
of wheat and an Increased produc
tion of from 10,000.000 to 30.000.
