Here a Lon Time
On April 9, 1S31, L. Neitzel, who
had been engaged in the ministry in
eastern Nebraska, then one of the
outposts of the west, acting as a cir
cuit rider and going about from one
place to another with very little time
at home with his family, accompan
ied by his wife and children, arrived
in Murdock to make their home.
They had decided to engage in busi
ness and selected the young town of
Murdock as a good place to locate.
One day after their arrival, they se
cured a lot and began excavation for
the basement of their store building.
Many years have passed since then,
and throughout the time, Mr. Neitzel
has continued to serve the people of
this community with the things they
might need or desire in hardware and
allied lines. In all these years, they
lived happily, surrounded by family
and friends and no sorrow came to
mar their happiness until a fortnight
ago, when the wife and mother pass
ed to her reward.
The community was good to them,
supporting their business in a way
that permitted them to lay aside a
competence for old age, and all in
all life ha3 been most pleasant.

Soil Saving is
a Live Question
AmonP: Farmers
Cold Weather Permits Many to Put
Cff Planting and Attend Con
seivation Meetings.
That Nebraska farmers are in
tensely interested in the new soil con
servation program, fundamental de
tails of which are being explained
thruout the state in precinct meet
ings, was indicated in scattered re
ports reaching the college of agri
culture. W. II. Brokaw, said the first re
ports show the 1936 program will
allow farmers to do come things they
have been wanting to do for years.
"Farmers everywhere realize the
necessity of conserving the soil and
building up fertility and see an op
portunity in this program for so do
ing," he declared.
Attendance at the educational
meetings has been highly satisfac
tory. Farmers there are signing reg
istration cards in large numbers, in
dicating they intend to qualify for
"grants" under the program in shift
ing acreages from soil depleting to
coil conserving crop3 and practices.
Cold weather this week has given
more farmers opportunity to attend
their precinct gatherings. Many are
postponing their spring planting this
week in waiting tor more favorable
weather, and the "break" in condi
tions has been a fortunate one for the
soil conservation program.
The state committee for adminis
tering the new farm program has not
as yet been set up, but Director Bro
kaw believes it will be within a short
time. Upon appointment, the group
will set to work immediately classi
fying crops and practices into soil
conserving, soil depleting and soil
building groups. Recommendations
of the recent statewide farm meet
ing at Grand Island will receive first
consideration.
Further indications that the pro
gram is moving along briskly in Ne
braska v.-ere seen in word received
by A. E. Anderson, state and federal
statistician, to proceed in setting up
county ratios between soil depleting
crops and total land.
Go to the primary on the 14th and
vote for Judge D. W. Livingston.

Kcv7 Corr.cs Another Industry
1 ne ingenuity oT man is never
lacking whn it com .3 to devising
ways cf earning a livelihood. A Lin
coln firm, aware of the difficulty i:i
getting lawns started in the capital
city through, the usual method oL
sowing grass seed, has purchased a
tract of pasture land on what is
known as the E. E. Day farm, lo'ated
between Wabash and Weeping Water,
and will strip the same to supply sod
to homeowners of Lincoln. It is re
ported the price paid amounts to two
cents per square foot, and with some
thing over 43,000 square feet to an
acre, the total price paid for thi
privilege amounts to a large sura an
acre, after which the owner will
have the land for the cultivation of
farm crops.
. The sod is sold to homeowners at
a good price, with the company lay
ing it, thus making money all tin
way around and giving the Lincoln
homeowners a good lawn in a short
space of time. People there are also
purchasing the sod for the purpose
of getting a good stand of grass on
the burial plats of their loved ones
in Lincoln cemeteries.
It looks like a good business prop
osition and one worthy of the in
genuity of its founder.
Pi
had been anticipated, Admiral Gray
son urged that this three million dollar
fund be exceeded by Chapters. Many
responded by doubling and . trebling
their gcal3.
Citizens were urged to contribute
to their local Red Cross Chapters. Af
ter the flood emergency passed, tho Red
Cross prepared to restore needy fam
ilies to their homc3 and anticipate!
that their workers would not coucluiq
th9 relief job for several months. . -
