Spurred on by the indignation of the theatrical world against the
decree of Mayor E. J. Kelly, inset, banning the Chicago showing of
"Tobacco Eoad", stage hit, producers launched a legal battle to set
aside Kelly's decree. Kelly's statement concerning the play as
"blasphemous and indecent" was dismissed as "prejudice" by de
fenders of the drama. "Tobacco Eoad", a story of the southern
poor white", has played to packed New York audiences for nearly
two years. A scene from the play, which stars Henry Hull, is

Turkey Raising
in Nebraska
is Discussed
Eiscusssion by Geo. S. Round, Ass't.
Editor, University of Nebraska
College of Agriculture.
The Old Gobbler will soon "gobble"
no more on the. farm. It won't be
long until he will be slaughtered,
dressed, graded and sent to eastern,
markets where he will be the choicest
of foods on the Thanksgiving dinner
table.
With the holiday season rapidly ap
proaching, growers throughout Ne
braska this week made active prepar
ations for their annual marketing
activities. The market outlook, they
believe, is better than one year ago.
While there are 10 to 15 per cent
less birds in the country this year,
Nebraska growers have about 10 per
cent more than last year, it is esti
mated. Prices are now about 1 to 2
cents higher than at the correspond
ing time last year and growers vision
more turkeys upon the household
tables of the nation this year.
Iore birds than ever before will
probably be marketed directly by
growers themselves this year. The
advent of cooperative marketing as
sociations is making this possible.

become a specialized industry in var
ious parts cf the state with the for
mation of these organizations. Among
the outstanding associations are the
Mid-West Turkey Growers Marketing
Association in Thayer county, the
Republican Valley Turkey Growers''
Association in Webster county and
the North Platte Turkey Growers' As
sociation in the western section.
Production is also concentrated in
Lancaster and surrounding counties
with thousands of birds produced and
marketed within a radius of 50 miles
of Lincoln each year. In the sand
hill region turkeys are becoming
more popular and Holt county is
getting the reputation of eing a pro
ducer of good birds.
These associations, organized thru
help of county agricultural agents
and extension poultrymen at the Ne
braska college of agriculture, appar
ently will play a bigger part than
ever in marketing this year. They
have found that they can market
their own birds on a grade system
under their own management.
Back in 1927, the Republican Val
ley Turkey Growers Association was
organized in Webster county Three
women attended the first meeting.
Today 50 growers belong. Clifford
Eshelman, Riverton is president. Rose
Vavricka, Red Cloud, is secretary
treasurer. About 13,500 birds will
be sold during the holidays this year
or about 140,000 pounds. Approxi
mately 1,400 of the birds will go to
market late this month.
Another well known organization
is the Mid-West Turkey Growers' As
sociation which has E. K. Kahle, He
bron, as president. W. R. Wicks,
agricultural agent in Thayer county,
is secretary. Last year these produc
ers banded themselves together and
did their own marketing. They rent
ed an old wholesale plant at Deshler.
There they slaughtered their own
birds .dressed them, graded the birds
and sold them cooperatively. The
same plan will be used this year, ac
cording to Secretary Wicks.
Lloyd Vance , extension poultry
man at the Nebraska college of agri
culture, reports that the North Platte
Valley Turkey Growers' Association
will probably market about 30 car
loads of birds this year on govern
ment grade in comparison to about
26 cars last year. The birds will
carry the brand, "Teton," an inno
vation in the marketing of birds by
cooperative associations.
Up in Holt county turkey produc
tion has become popularized and
hundreds of birds will be marketed
soon. Agricultural Agent F. M. Reece
of O'Neill reports growers are hoping
to receive a little etter price than
last year. A cooperative effort on the
part of a creamery in sponsoring a
4-H turkey project in Holt county
has tended to increase the popular
ity of the ird. More than 4,000
pounds were distributed under this
plan.
Improved crcp cor.CTlions and
higher prices for farm products
will stimulate business. Shrewd
advertisers recognize this and will
Bo after increased trade.

Callahan Church Notes
F. C. Weber, Pastor
All services at the usual hours
Sunday, and all folks that love the
Lord in their places. We are glad
for the fine attendance last Sunday.
We have a class for all ages and a
Gospel for all mankind. Let no man
suppose that progress can be divorced
from religion, or that there is" any
other platform than the platform
written in the utterances of our Lord
and Savior. It's good to have money
and the things that money can buy,
but it's good, too, to check up once
in a while and make sure you haven't
lost the things that money can't buy.
Attend church somewhere.

N0KEIS SUGGESTS SURVEY
Washington. Senator N'orris sug
gested to Rural Electrification Ad
ministrator Cooke that he undertake
a fctudy to determine the feasibility
of speeding rural electrification by
providing a subsidy for extension
of lines. Xorris pointed out that pri
vate utility companies were ftpply
ing the most profitable rural p rions
with electricity and suggested that in
much of the remaining territory the
service should be provided without
profit.
"Electricity," he said, in a Utter
to Cooke, "being a modern necessity
on the farm, ought to be provided
without profit. If th element of
profit is eliminated, one of the great
est of economies can be extei ded at
once to rural electrification."
