Nebraska Farm!
Kepoit of Census Bureau Shows a
Trend Back to the Farm
in This State.
"Washington, Oct. 28. The census
bureau reported Wednesday a 1935
survey of Nebraska agriculture show
ed 23.299 persons on farms of the
state who had lived in nonfarni resi
dences five years earlier.
Reported on 9.954 farms, they in
cluded 7,350 full owners, 3,945 part
owners, 375 managers and 11.029
tenants. The bureau said its tabu
lation did not show accurately the
net result of the city to farm migra
tion during the period.
Nebraska's total farm population
as of Jan. 1, 1935, was given as 5S0,
094 persons on 12S.S14 farms, and;
including among the farm operators
176,074 full owners, 122, 57S part
owners, 3,947 managers and 27S.095
tenants.
Duellings, occupied and unoccu
pied, on farms in that state numbered
145.350 on 129, 9SC farms. Unoccu
pied dwellings were reported for 0,
4 60 farms.
Persons working on Nebraska
farms ths first week in January,
1035, including family labor and
hired help working the equivalent of
two days' or ntare, exclusive of house
work, totaled 215,599.
The bureau also reported 27.2 per
cent of all the farm operator worked
for pay at jobs not connected with
their own particular farm in 1934.
receiving 1,959,943 days of employ
ment. Most of these operators, 2S.766.
were employed in nonagricultural
pursuits in their off-thfarm work,
and 6,433 were employed in agri
culture. The census enumerators also found
most of the Nebraska farm operators
were on their present properties for
periods of years and the largest num
ber, 41.S41, were on these lands 15
years or more. Tenures of less than
one year on their present farms were
reported for 14,922 operators, one
year for 10,220, two years for S,
633 and thre? years for 7,219.
Four-year periods on their present
farms were shon for 7,693, five to
nine-year periods for 24.523 and 10
to 14 years for 17.S64.

T1
Trade Balance
for September is
Very Favorable
Commerce Department Reports Ex
ports Exceed Imports by 4Vs$
Millions That Month.
Washington. The commerce de
partment reported that United States
exports exceeded imports by $4,442,
000 during September. It was the
first month since May that American j
s.iles abroad had been greater than
purchases from foreign nations.
For the first nine months of this
year, however, imports exceeded ex
ports by $33,156,000, compared with
a $60,490,000 excess of exports for
the corresponding 1935 period.
Approximately two-thirds of the
export increase in September over
the same month a year ago, the de
partment said, was due to larger
shipments of unmanufactured cotton,
machinery and vehicles.
During September, exports totaled
$213,967,000 compared with $19S,
803,000 for the same month a year
ago. Imports last month were $215,
525,000 compared with $161,647,000
in September, 1935.
For the first nine months of this
year, exports were listed at $1,732,
314,000 compared with $1,56S,271,
000 in the corresponding 1935 period.

COLUMBIA WITHIN RIGHTS
Washington. The communications
commission made public letters in
which it held the Columbia Broad
casting company acted within its
rights in cutting off some of its sta
tions from the radio 'debate pre
j sented by Senator Arthur Vanden
berg of Michigan Oct. 17. The com
mission, in a letter answering a num
ber of protests against the action of
the company, said the 1934 communi-
cations act "expressly denies to the
commission any power of censorship
over the radio communications or
signals transmitted hy any radio sta
tion."
Wallace in
Windup of His
Home State
Secretary of Agriculture Tells Iowans
Not to Swap Performances
for Promises.
Des Moines. Agriculture Secre
tary Henry Wallace said in his final
campaign address here that "neither
farmers nor workers can afford to
swap Landon promises for Roosevelt
performance." j
The former Iowa farm paper editor
spoke before an audience of his home
state people to wind up a campaign
tour which carried him through six
midwestern states. He told them that
Gov. Alf M. Landon's "plan is a
three-in-one proposition. "It is," he
charged, the Hoover farm board, the
Hoover-Smoot-Hawley tariff, and the
Hoover gold standard, all bundled
aboard the same old Hoover hack.
"And if farmers and businessmen,"
he added, "ever climb in that vehicle
again, it will take them down the
same old road to ruin."
The issue, Wallace said, "is wheth
er a small group of powerful but un
scrupulous industrialists shall regain
the control of the government they
lost in 1932." Wallace declared that
"never before, I think, have so many
distortions, half truths and deliber
ate falsehoods been injected into a
campaign. "The reason," he contin
ued, "is not far to seek. For 12
years before 1932 these industrialists
controlled the government. The Am-
(erican people tolerated their control
when we were in a period of false
prosperity. But when the crash which
their methods made inevitable came,
the people turned against them.
"Their stake in this election is a great
one so great that one family of in
dustrial barons alone has poured be
tween a half million and a million
dollars into the campaign.
"They want a president who is
grateful to them so they can control
him. They want farmers and work
ers and smaller business men to bear
less. They are afraid the budget will
be balanced and the debt reduced out
of their growing profits."
"Landon." the secretary said,
"would scrap the triple A soil con
servation program and substitute a
plan he has described only In vague
terms. He would repeal the recipro
cal tariff act and return to the Hoo
ver gold policy that every nation in
the world has abandoned. He would
abolish the undivided profits tax on
corporations, which is going to be a
big help in balancing the budget and
in preventing unwise speculation. He
would follow the wishes of Sanator
Lester J. Dickinson as to corn and
other commodity loans. He would
take them out of the hands of the
government bankers. He would re
peal the federal guarantee of bank
deposits. He feels it is a menace to
the bankers."

Decrease in
Ration of Doctors
in United States
Figures of Life Insurance Company
Shows That Per Capita of
. Ratio Much Lower.
New York, N. Y. Although there
are 20,000 more legally qualified phy
sicians in the United States than
there were twenty years ago, their
proportion to the total population is
considerably smaller, while their dis
tribution between city and country is
now so unequal that statisticians of
a leading life insurance company
have been led to paraphrase Horace
Greeley's advice to young men to "go
west," by suggesting that young doc
tors might find it advantageous to
start practicing in rural sections
where the need for up-to-date med
ical service is acute, rather than
settle in largs communities where
their profession is often over-crowded.
In 1916 the statisticians say,
there was one physician for every
C94 persons while in 1936 there was
one doctor for every 778.
"Medical practice in the rural sec
tions, as a rule, "the statisticians
declare, "still has little or no at
traction for the newly graduated
medical student." To bear out this
statement they say, "In such states
as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
North and South Carolina and the
Dakotas, where from 70 to S5 per
cent of the inhabitants reside in the
rural areas, the number of persons
per physician ranges from 1,196 in
South Dakota to 1,541 in South
Carolina.
"On the other hand, in the states
of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New
York, Illinois, and California, where
the rural inhabitants constitute less
than 27 per cent of the total popu
lation, the ratio of persons to phy
sicians ranges from 519 to one in
California to 737 in Rhode Island.
In other words, the average physi
cian in South Carolina has nearly
three times as mapy prospective pa
tients in his locality as the doctor in
California or New York.
"In the Borough of Manhattan,
New York, there are only 287 per
sons per physician; in Boston, 290;
in Washington, D. C, 297; in San
Francisco, 345; and in Los Angeles,
384."
The smallest ration of population
per physician, the statisticians point
out, is in Rochester, Minn., the home
of the Mayo Clinic, where one out of
every 57 inhabitants is a physician
or surgeon. But in this particular
instance, as is more or less the case
with large medical centers, the statis
ticians explain, "the population
served is far in excess of the imme
diate inhabitants."
"The most serious aspect of the
movement of young physicians to
ward the large cities," the statis
ticians declare, "is that it is stead
ily gaining force year by year. In
those states distinguished for their
large rural population, the propor
tion of doctors is growing less an
nually. In many of these states there
are actually fewer doctors than there
were 20 years ago when the popula
tion was far smaller.
"Furthermore, tills movement is
not at the expense of any particular
section of the country; it is to be
remarked wherever the rural popu
lation is extensive. In Maine, for
example, the number of doctors to
day is 966, whereas in 1916 there
were 1,205; in Iowa the respective
figures are 3,146 as against 3,751;
in Georgia there are 2,765, as against
3,421; in Kentucky, 2,770 as com
pared with 3,584, and in Montana,
483, as opposed to 636."
The statisticians explain that they
do not mean to convey that people
necessarily suffer from less medical
service, because a doctor today can
attend to more patients than he could
twenty years ago, as a result of bet
ter hospitalization, and improved
transportation facilities generally.
"Nevertheless," the statisticians
point out, "it seems that many newly
graduated physicians are missing op
portunities by preferring to locate in
the large cities where the medical
profession is much overcrowded,
rather than in certain smaller com
munities where the need of up-to-date
meclical knowledge is acute."

Sketch of Life
of Former Cass
County Woman
Mrs. Viola Crawford Copple Dies at
Home in Lincoln, Formerly of
Near Weeping Water.
Viola M. Crawford, daughter of
Robert and Melissa Crawford was
born in Knox county, 111., Aug. 24,
1860. She spent a quiet and happy
childhood with her parents until
Oct. 1864 when her father was draft
ed into the Union army and was kill
ed in battle at Franklin, Tenn., after
one month of service. In 1866 she
came with her mother and step fath
er, James Crawford, to Nebraska.
They settled in South Bend precinct,
Cass county. They came here as
homesteaders and lived thru the pio
neer stages of this territory.
This continued to be her home un
til Jan. 18, 1876 when she was unit
ed in marriage to John W. Copple of
Weeping Water where they lived un
til 1882. They then moved to Wa
bash, Nebr., where they made their
home until 1918 when Mr. Copple
died. Since then she has resided in
Lincoln. In early life she united with
the Methodist church in which faith
she as ever remained a faithful and
consistent member. She exemplified
the Christ spirit in all her relations
with her family and friends and died
in the hope of eternal life. No clouds
obscured her spiritual vision and she
died serenely confident that death
would but open a door through which
she might pass to a better world.
Mrs. Copple was known for her
noble qualities of self-sacrifice and
generosity to those in greater need
than she herself. She had wonderful
ability in adapting herself to the
conditions surrounding her. She had
a mother love for all humanity, thus
having the love and esteem of her
friend3 and neighbors. Her sterling
qualities will always be cherished in
the memory of those who knew her.
Mrs. Copple passed quietly and
peacefully into eternal sleep at her
home Oct. 24. She leaves of her im-j
mediate family two sons, William L.
Ccpple of Alvo and Glenn E. Copple
of Lincoln, two grandchildren, Lee
and Joy Copple, two sisters, Mrs.
Lydia Radtka of Wankomio, Okla.,
and Mrs. Diana Bushnell of Ashland,
Nebr., two brothers, Robert and
James Crawford of Murdock, Nebr.
SAYS MONEY CENTER MOVED
Cleveland. Homer Cummings, U.
S. attorney general, said President
Roosevelt when he devalued the dol
lar "shifted the money center of Am
erica from Wall street to Washing
ton." "Speaking a few days ago at Phila
delphia, Mr. Hoover took occasion to
deplore the devaluation," Cummings
said in his address, prepared for de
livery before the democratic lawyers'
club of Cleveland.
"I do not pause to debate the is
sue, because not a fraction of one
percent of our people agree with
him; because no responsible voice is
raised anywhere in America demand
ing a return to the old ratio, or the
old system ..." Cummings said.
"The leaders of the republican
party, in drafting their platform, did
not see fit to challenge its wisdom"
and Mr. Hoover himself did not have
the courage to advocate a restoration
of the old system or the old ratio,"
he said.
START PROJECT AT ONCE
Ord, Neb,' -Bert Hardenbrook
president of the North Loup River
Public Power and Irrigation district,
said excavation work on the project

ings" prevented contractors from
starting excavation of the first ten
mites of irrigation canal on the sched
uled date Oct. 1. Now. he has or
ders from WPA to begin work. The
first ten miles, between Ord and
North Loup, will require about three

project are being sought. The dis
trict has a loan and grant from PWA
totaling about $1,700,000.

TUGWELL CITES REPAYMENTS
Washington. In one of the few
statements he has issued this year,
Rexford G. Tugwell hit out at critics
of the resettlement administration
with an assertion that "the record of
collections answers once and for all
prejudiced and partisan criticism" of
the agency.
Announcing that 76.5 percent of
money due on rehabilitation loans
had been repaid on Oct. 1. Tugwell
said that answered charges that
"thru these loans the government Is
throwing its money to the wind."
"In my opinion," he added, "the
preponderant majority of farmers un
der the rehabilitation program will
pay out their debt 100 percent."
He said that of $8,552,688 prin
cipal due on loans at the start of this
month, $6,543,897 had been collect
ed. Total loans to farmers from fed
eral relief funds by the Tugwell
agency since its organization in July
last year, were said to aggregate
$87,066,409 to more than 350,000
farm families.
