Wheat Shipment Big and Much in Storage on Farm Three Western Nebraska Counties Are Sending Out 1,000 Car loads of Grain. EXTEND 'SALE IN TRANSIT Omaha. Livestock producers and fattencrs in the middle west are ex pected to benefit when the change in ownership privilege on fat cattle is extended to Missouri river markets, including Omaha, effective Aug. 1. Previously the privilege has been en joyed at the midwestern markets only on shipments of feeder cattle and fat and feeder lambs. , Under the change in ownership or "sale in transit" rule, stock consign-' ed from points in the west may change hands at Omaha and be for warded to its destination on payment of the differential between the freight rate from point of origin to Omaha and the rate to the new destination. Such shipments heretofore have re quired full local rate from Omaha onward. The new arrangement is expecteH to broaden demand at the Missouri river points and will also enable ship pers to stop and "try" the midwest markets without sacrificing the thru rates. The change in ownership priv ilege was made effective on lambs and feeder catUe a year ago and has proved beneficial. PUSH WATER CONSERVATION State WPA Administrator Felton told his district directors at a con ference to urge all county officials to plan and get as many water con servation projects under way as pos sible. He said the- drouth made it neces sary to place this type of project on a preferred basis. Plans requiring large amounts of materials, he said, will be kept at a minimum, a few being permitted to prevent skilled labor ers from suffering. District engineers also discussed plans for dams used in water con servation projects. Sidney, Xeb. Three western Ne braska counties Cheyenne, Kim ball and Banner will ship out more than 1,000 carloads of new wheat this month, estimates of railroad freight agents and elevator men in dicate. More than 930 cars were sent to market by the close of business Saturday, and at least another 50 car loads were expected to move this week. Altho these shipments approximate 2,000,000 bushels, they do net rep resent the full amount of winter and spring wheat produced by these coun ties. Farmers report aa unusually heavy amount in storage, mainly be cause they expect higher prices. Dix station, in. Kimball county, will set the pace with shipments ex pected to reach 200 cars. Dix handles heavy leadings from Kimball and Banner conties. There are no rail roads in Banner county, and the Dix loading station is the closest point to most Banner county wheat fields. Kimball probably will handle about 200 cars; Gurley, in Cheyenne coun ty, expects to load 150; Dalton and Potter will handle about 100 cars each and Sidney, only point served by two railroads, expects to ship out nearly 150 cars. Several smaller loading points also are active during the harvest season, and will augment the total for the year. The bulk of the shipments have been winter wheat, the spring crop deteriorating badly thru lack of mois ture. The price paid to farmers for their ordinary No. 2 winter wheat averaged more than 90 cents per bushel and netted them a good profit. Summer fallowed ground turned out the best yields, and a general switch to this type of wheat pro duction Is noticeable. Thousands of acres have been prepared for fall seeding, and the planting season is expected to get under way within the next two or three weeks, depending largely on the arrival of general rain fall. FINDS NEW DEAL NOT NEW Kansas City. Dr. Ronald J. Cowl ing, president of Carleton college, Northfield, Minn., declared "there Is nothing hew in the new deal." "It (the new deal) represents a re verting to confidence in older forms of social control, European ideas, which our forefathers sought to es cape by coming to America," Dr. Cowling asserted. "I fear concen trated political power more than I do concentrated wealth, unfortunate as I believe the latter to be," Dr. Cowling continued. "Such power In the past has been used to enslavo peo pie."

Excavation of the remains of a "forgotten city built by prehistoric American Indians has been completed by the bureau of American ethnology of the Smith sonian institute. The ancient town, once known as ths "caDital of the Kingdom of Anilco." may have been one of the largest settlements east of the Mis sissippi river at the time Columbus discovered America, the institute said today. Winslow M. Walker, who began the excavation as a staff member of the bureau, said the "city," near the modern town of Troyville, La., was at the height of its prosperity in 1542, when it was seen by Hernando de Soto. A historian of the time, Garcilaso the Inca, set down from accounts of de Soto's followers that "it is on the banks of a river wider than the Guadalquivcr, and has about four hundred good houses, with a beauti ful square in the middle." In 1932 the mound, or eminence, was dug away to provide earth for highway fills near Troyville, and Walker began examining the foun dations. He found that the Indian town of 1542 was only one stage of a secession extending Into nknown atiqsity, with the original occupants possessing a culture resembling that of the mound builders of the Ohio valley.

County commission ers said tne solution of tne labor problem that arose here last month depends on the promise of contractors on Missouri river improvement proj ects to favor asbington county workers.
