Three Western Nebraska Counties
Are Sending Out 1,000 Car

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."

Nebraska City. The once beau
tiful white pine grove north of the
J. Sterling Morton mansion in Arbor
Lodge state park is perishing accord
ing to Frank Williams, park super
intendent. Many of the pines were
destroyed in the 1934 drouth. This
year's heat and dry weather is com
pleting the ruin.

by a species of southern pine that
thrives in hot weather. The white
pines were planted many years ago
by J. Sterling Morton, one time sec
retary of agriculture and founder of
Arbor day.

Iing made for a ground-breaking ceremony.
Washington, July 2r. 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.

Blair, Neb. 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.
Local business men and relief la
borers expressed dissatisfaction when
river contractors employed workers
from out of the state, but no action
could be taken, since the project gives
the contractor the privilege of hiring
workers from any county or state he
desires. Contractors now have pro
mised, however, that "Washington
county labor will be favored In the
future. The roll of unemployed at
the re-employment office here mount
ed daily as farmers hard hit by the
drouth placed tbeir names on it.

of the dam's two CC.000 horsepower
generators was turned into the trans
mission line. Commercial operation
of Norris dam will not begin until
later.

TO DIG WELLS FOR RELIEF
Nebraska WPA Administrator Fel
ton was notified that two emergency
drouth relief projects for emergency
well digging programs In Knox and
Thurston counties won the approval
of the VPA's project control divi
sion and Budget Director Bell's de
partment, and, now await only final
approval by President Roosevelt.
The projects submitted by Knox
and Thurston county commissioners
provide for the digging of 200 wells
approximately 120 feet deep in each
county. Each project would provide
three months employment for 255
men. Total estimated cost of the
two projects is $127,135.36, of which
the WPA will provide $24,400.
County commissioners in the two
counties reported to the WPA that
shallow wells rapidly are going dry.
and many farmers are forced to haul
water for their domestic and live
stock needs. In some parts of Thurs
ton county water is being rationed at
the rate of one barrel per week per
family.
