State and federal statistics Indi
cate that we have 50 per cent more
lambs on Iced than a year ago and
tv.i o as many cattle. Hog numbers
are '.or.. However, the number of
spri.ig piffs will be materially above

renaming considerable grain long
l.tf ;.:? Lew corn is available unless a
cr.iuliicrab'.e quanity of early cropB
can be produced. Consequently the
leed grain situation is worthy of ser
iou:; consideration.
Ti e situation is doubly acute in
Nebraska because we have tad two
light corn years. Ia 1934 only 10
million bushels were harvested as
rciu and in 1925, 102 million
bushel; thus for the two years, 112
r.-.illion bushel were gathered while
roru.ally we would have harvested
an annual crop of 225 million bush
els or a total of 450 million. In a
big feeding state like Nebraska, it
would be impossible to go on In
definitely with 25 per cent of the
usual amount of corn. Corn on farms
In the state on January 1 amounted
to 70 million bushels.
Nebraska is on the edge of the sur
plus corn area. Already much corn
in adjoining states has been deliv
ered to Nebraska farmers and to Kan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Corn
from southeastern South Dakota and
southwestern Minnesota is being de
livered in central Nebraska at about
Go cents per bushel and Into Kansas
for 70 cents. The shortage of good
feeding corn next summer is pretty
apt to result in a high price and con
siderable difficulty in procuring
grain.
There are several alternatives
which might help the live stock man
solve his summer problem: They in
clude planting of a patch of 30-day
corn early in order to have some new
corn at earliest possible date. Sow
ing barley. Thi3 crop normally ia
harvested soon after July 4 and can
be available for feeding by the middle
of month. Earley when ground makes
very good corn substitute. Fed with
cracked corn, results should be sat
isfactory as where a straight corn
ration is used.
Sow considerable oats acreage.
Should they mature into a crop of
good quality, the grain could be used
to advantage for starting Iambs and
cattle on feed, likewise as part of ra
tion for sows and growing pigs. Oats
are also splendid feed for horses.

proso or hog millet does well, a con-
Petunia is Blood
Red Sparkler
All-America Gold Medal Winner Best
New Flower for 1936 Needs
No Special Attention.
A scarlet eheen more delicate than
any royal robe identifies the new
petunia Flaming Velvet. Entered by
a Dutch grower of international
fame, this outstanding new creation
for 193G was awarded the gold medal
by the All-America committee as the
best new flower of the year.
It is rich and brilliant, with a
velvety blood red or crimson color,
and is as easily grown by the ama
teur as the ordinary run of the mill
petunia which flowers so freely from
early summer until frost. As to type
and uniformity there is nothing more
to be wanted.
Sow Flaming Velvet like you would
any other petunia, starting it early
indoors in a flat if you want the
best and earliest bloom. The seed is
scarce this year, so you will have to
get your order in early, but next year
it Is hoped there will be sufficient
stock for everyone. j
Few garden flowers are a3 valuable
as petunias. Their color range is per
haps wider than any other, and their
adaptability to almost any type of
soil is amazing. Like most plant3,
they like a fairly rich, well drained
and continuously moistened bed. The
size of the seeds is exceedingly
minute, and expensive as the ounce
rate goes, but a packet or two will
go a long way toward a full season
of bloom if you sow thinly. It ia a
good idea to mix seed with a little
sand In order to sow it thin enough.
Pulverize the soil before seeding.
This will give the tiny seeds a chance
to come in contact with as much
nourishment as possible at the start,
and they will germinate quickly.
Seed should be sown on the surface
and firmly pressed into the soil so as
to prevent washing or blowing away.
The sparkling color of Flaming
Velvet should make it particularly
valuable to accent a bed or corner,
as it fairly shouts for attention.
Like many other varieties of this am
bitious race. It is best placed where
it can sprawl and tangle into a
flaming mass of color. Do not plant
it with straight, stiff-stemmed sub-

SEES TO AVOID COAL SHORTAGE

planted. Put in early, it should be
available by mid-summer as it is a
short season crop. Ground hog millet
Las- been used at the Akron, Colo
iado substation as feed for fattening
hogs and has proven to be fully
equal to corn. It has been used con
siderably as part of fattening cattle
ration and when fed ground has prov
c n satisfactory, espcially where mixed
with cur grains or ground alfalfa.
Permit fall sown rye to mature for
harvest as grain crop for summer
feeding purposes. At the College of
.Agriculture we do not infrequently
pasture rye during early spring
raonths and then permit the crop to
mature. We have usually harvested
12 to 18 bushels of grain per acre
in this manner. Should the spring
be a. wet one and the rye not be
needed for pasture, it would probably
make a materially larger yield than
otherwise.

las county in 1934 and amended by
the state legislature in 1935. It be
comes effective in Douglas county in
1937.
Judge Hastings' ruling wa3 based
on a suit filed by Thomas J. O'Con
nor, register of deeCs, in an attempt
to force Election Commissioner An
ton Tusa by mandamus to accept
O'Connor's filing for re-election.
O'Connor's office i3 abolished by the
county manager law.
"The sole question i3 whether the
legislature, in a matter involving
only political rights and wholly with
in the scope of its powers, has vio
lated the plain mandates of the state
constitution as to procedure. The
court does not so hold," Judge Has
tings said. Eugene O'Sullivan said
an appeal would be filed.
LKIERICK GETS TEN YEAES
Wahoo. Distric Judge H. D. Lan
dls overruled the motion of Earl Lim
erick, 28, of Council Bluffs for a new
trial and sentenced him to ten years
in the state penitentiary on a charge
of robbing a boxcar at Ashland, Oct.
29. His imprisonment will date from
Nov. 19, when he was Jailed.
About the time Limerick was sen
tenced Sheriff Mengel received word
Clyde Leftridge, 30, of Omaha, sus

robbery.
Des Moines, Ia., Jan. 29. Warn
ing that "If we have to we can de
clare a state of martial law," Gov
ernor Clyde L. Herring Wednesday
called a conference of Iowa coal oper
ators for 9 a. m. Thursday in an ef
fort to prevent suffering from a
threatened coal shortage.
The governor asserted he would
urge strong action be taken to per
mit miners to work Saturday and
Sunday, before resorting to more
drastic measures. Under the 35-hour
week mines are not operated on those
two days.
The threatened coal famine was
brought on by more than a week of
sub-zero temperatures that has cost
the lives of at least seven persons
and caused untold suffering.
Ralph Kittinger, secretary of the
Iowa emergency relief administra
tion, said the coal problem of relief
clients was approaching a crisis.. He
said after telephone communications
wlfh eight administrators through
out the state that the situation was
most critical In Polk county, Des
Moines, but other cities reported thoy
had only enough coal to last a few
days.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 30. Pointing
to a fundamental change in agricul
tural credit policy, Mr. L. A. White,
state director of the Resettlement
Administration said today, loan3 are
being extended to hundreds of im
poverished farm families in an ef
fort to enable them to become self-
supporting. The plan under which
the Resettlement Administration op
erates calls for approved farm home
management budgets worked out by
the local supervisor in co-operation
with the local county agent. In thi3
way every possible method of mak
ing the farm pay and operating the
home economically is outlined.
"At the same time the recipient
of the loan is given the benefit of
the .farming knowledge of people
thoroughly familiar with agricul
tural conditions in his own county.
said State Director L. A. White. "The
county supervisor confers with the
farmer applicant on power cultiva
tion methods and at the same time
the housewife is given every assist
ance in the home making budget. In
this way they get both a lean and
expert assistance."
Those eligible, the state director
said, are farm owners, farm tenants,
farm laborers, share croppers or per
sons who, when last employed, ob
tained the major portion of their in
come from farming operations. They
must be the heads of destitute or low
income farm families who are unable
to obtain credit at reasonable terms
from other federal or private credit
agencies.
Operating on the theory it is more
practical and more economical to help

Since 1879 b
farm families to help themselves, the
Resettlement Administration is at
tempting to eliminate some of the
causes that make them the prey of
economic crisis. In most instances,
the state director pointed out, the
indu3trious farmers caught in the
net of depression are there because
o? no fault of their own. Their situ
ation is contributed to very often by
inadequate land resources, lack of
equipment, exhorbitant interest rates
and resulting debt and foreclosure.
Those judged capable are being
extended loans for the purchase of
livestock, seed, fertilizer and 'other
necessities and are given up to five
years to repay loans. In addition,
short term loans of one or two years
for rent, subsistence, medical care,
etc., are made. No family is grant
ed a loan until the budget expendi
ture plan has been carefully mapped
out on a basis making repayment
probable. Applications should be
made to the County Resettlement
