'Back to the
Grass' Movem't
Shows a Gain
Article by George S. Round of the
University of Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture.
That Nebraska farmers are hecom
ing more intensely interested in the
'back-to-the-grass" movement, is in
dicated in the active participation in
the state-wide pasture improvement
contest which has just closed and in
the land utilization meetings which
have been held throughout the state
in recent weeks.
.More than 400 farmers rrom ap
proximately 35 counties in every area
of the Cornhusker state entered the
pasture contest which was designed
to study methods of Improving graz
ing land which has suffered severely
in recent years from dry weather and
over-pasturing. County and state
winners are now being decided who
will share in the $1,500 being of
fered to winners. The event which
is sponsored by the Nebraska college
of agriculture, the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, the Nebraska Crop
Growers' Association and the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, has brought
out some interesting practices un
known to many farmers.
Nearly 250 of these individual
farmers have now finished the con
test. County winners are to be an
nounced on Thursday, December 12.
A mammoth banquet to be held in
Omaha on Tuesday, December 17,
will serve as a climax to the event
where the state winners will be an
nounced. Nearly 300 progressive
farmers and agricultural college au
thorities will join together at this
banquet being sponsored by the Om
aha Chamber of Commerce.
In many cases where grazing land
last spring was bare and where na
tive pastures were destroyed com
pletely by the 1934 drought, they
have now been partially restored by
the efforts of farmers In this contest.
The event has brought about an in
creased interest in the growing of
brome grass which will probably be
stimulated in the future. The use of

The other ractor which has proven
that farmers generally are intensely

In these sessions the leading farm
ers of every locality have in a co

the adaptability of the production of
crops. It is expected that in many
counties throughout Nebraska, this
same subject will be studied by farm

LANGER. 'PLOT' OUTLINED
Bismarck, N. D. Government wit
nesses recounted details of the al
leged conspiracy by which former
Governor William Langer and three
others are charged with having in
terfered with administration of fed
eral relief measures. Principal wit
nesses, presenting their evidence for
the third time, were George Lidecker,
New York PWA auditor, and G. A.
Ifample, former bookkeeper in the
state highway department.
Hample told how the solicitation
campaign which forms the basis of
the suit was carried on among high
way employes. The government
charges the defendants plotted to so
licit 5 percent of their salaries from
workers paid with relief and highway
funds for support of the Leader, po-
itical weekly sponsored by the Lan
ger administration. On trial with
Langer are Frank Vogel, former high
way commissioner; R. A. Kinzer, for
mer relief secretary; and Oscar Erick-
son, publisher of the Leader.
Lidecker testified that during a
three months period in 1934, 35 per
cent of the salaries of twenty-four
state highway employes came from
federal sources. Under cross exam
inatio nhe explained they were paid
with state warrants, with the state
later being reimbursed by the fed
eral government.

county relief administrator, Wednes
day rescinded his ultimatcni to
eighty-seven Omaha coal dealers.
thus permitting them to fill federal
relief coal orders regardless of
whether they continue to honor coun
ty orders. The coal men had de
clined to accept the county orders
because of uncertainty as to when
they would get their money, and,
leaders of the coal men said, because
they were carrying on their books
all the county orders they could
stand.
McNeil withdrew his ultimatum
after a conference with E. F. Witte,
state FERA administrator. Since Mc
Neil issued the ultimatum only five
companies had been filling county or
ders. McNeil urged the dealers to
fill county orders to the limit or
their ability.

Methodists
of the Nation
May be United
Agreements Discussed That Would
Bring Together Some Eight
Million of Members.
A plan to bring eight million Meth
odists together into a united church
after more than one hundred years
of separation was disclosd in detail
for the first time Thursday at Wash
ington. A judicial council with power to
rule on the constitutionality of
church conference actions is an im
portant part of the plan. The coun
cil's functions would be somewhat
similar to those of the supreme court.
The council idea is incorporated
in a "plan of union" to consolidate
the three main denominational groups
of Methodists in this country under
a new name the Methodist church.
Must Be Approved.
The plan recently was ratified at
Cincinnati by representatives of the
Methodist Episcopal church, the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
and the Methodist Protestant church.
Details were announced Thursday by
Dr. Harry E. Woolever, secretary of
the joint commission on Methodist
union. ..
Before the plan can go into effect
it must be approved by the general
conferences of the three denomin
ations. Two of these meet next May
and the southern ' church two years
later. Then the local churches must
ratify through annual conferences.
Church leaders are certain of ulti
mate approval.
Conferences to Rule.
The plan calls for unity among a
Methodist "constituency" of more
than 30 million. It embraces one-half
the communicant Methodists of the
world. ;
It provides for the administration
of the merged church through a gen
eral conference, meeting every four
years, and jurisdictional conferences
which divide the membrship in the
United States into six areas and the
work outside the United States intoj
a series of central conferences.

Wallace Thinks
Big Fellow Must
Have Income Cut
Believes That tie Redistribution of
Wealth in This Country Can
not Be Escaped.
Secretary Wallace Wednesday at
Washington pictured "redistribution
of income as a prime necessity
which the nation cannot escape. The
agricultural secretary, in his annual
report, favored an increase in the
proportion of the national income
that goes to poorer persons. He held
this would Increase consumption and
make for expansion of production by
factory and farm.
Wallace laid stress on expansion,
in contrast to AAA's crop reduction
programs, which officials have de
scribed as emergency measures only
Wallace contended these emergency
prugrams were made necessary by
high tariffs.
He said complete industrial and
agricultural balance and co-ordin
ation is essential to full economic re
covery. "Partial co-ordination," he wrote
"undertaken from the standpoint of
individual industries, must give place
to a general, comprehensive co-ordination
aimed at increased produc
tion and increased payrolls, if we
are to have full employment, full
production, and higher living stand
ards. "How to achieve co-ordination for
balanced expansion is the problem
which awaits solution."
Federal action taken to protect
consumers, to provide economic se
curity, and to redistribute tax bur
dens, he said, "should help toward
continued expansion in both produc
tion and consumption. These poli
cies tend to increase the proportion
of the national income going to per
sons in the lower income brackets,
and therefore to increase consump
tion per capita."
Later, in discussing the need for
increased international trade, Wal
lace said:
"Here, then, is what we must re
cognize: The redistribution of in
come ia not a proposal but a neces
sity. In one way or another it re
sults automatically from any of the
courses open, to us.
"We cannot avoid it by ceasing i
to produce for export and by limit
ing our imports to necessities. That
is to cripple agriculture, to make
permanent the necessity for costly
farm relief, to compel disadvan
tageous urban adjustments, and to
create scarcity.
"The resulting unemployment in
volves heavy public expenditures. In
Euch circumstances we first reduce
the national income and then re
distribute the reduced total to avert
disaster.
AAA MAPS OUT STRATEGY
Washington. An AAA strategy
board pondered moves intended to
stave off a collapse of the adjust
ment machinery should a supreme
court decision wipe out its constitu
tional foundation.
Contemplated steps in the event
of an adverse ruling, one official said,
might include a call to farmers to
stand by for prompt drafting of a
new form of AAA, drawn to the lines
of the high tribunal's decision. It
was explained farmers might be urged
to continue compliance or at least
not to abandon their contract im
mediately. Farm administration attorneys
have said in Informal opinions they
believed all adjustment contracts
signed would be valid agreements re
gardless of the fate of the AAA. They
contend that all benefits promised j
under the 1935 contracts would havei
to be paid. Estimates have been made
that approximately 500 millions re
main unpaid on the 1935 contracts.
Spw long term wheat, tobacco,
corn-hog, rye and otton programs will
be underway by mid-January, whenj
offiial8 said they believe the supremo
court decision might be made. By
that date, farmers already will have
complied partially with the adjust
ment requirements of at least the
wheat and corn-hog contracts.
