Molasses Used
as a Substitute
in Corn Ration
Hogs Have No Sweet Tooth, But
Will Take Ground Feed Mix
ture; Shortage of Feed.
That Nebraska hog3 do not par
ticularly have a "sweet tooth" but
that molasses may be used to an ad
vantage as a substitute for corn un
der present feeding conditions was
the conclusion of Trof. William J.
Loeffel cf the college of agriculture.
Many different ways of feeding the
molasses, something new for hog feed,
were tried in experiments vhieh have
created more than statewide inter
est. With molasses now selling for
about 11.33 per hundred weight in
barrels and practically all grain feeds
for about 2 tents per pound, cane
molasses is the cheapest carbohy
drate feed on the market, tentative
results showed.
Methods of feeding molasses tried
by farmers were included. The pigs
did not particularly care for thej
feed, and w ere more inclined to wal-j
low in the molasses than to consume!
it. Feeding molasses alone did not!
prove practical. Mixing shelled corn
with it did not improve the situ
ation. Finally the molasses was mixed
with ground feeds. It was found that
10 to 15 percent molasses can be
used and the fed stiil be fed thru a
self feeder. Feeds such as alfalfa
meal, ground oats, and shorts were,
particularly successful as mixtures to
absorb the molasses. Five percent
alfalfa molasses meal in a fattening
ration worked exceptionally well.
For farmers doin slop feeding, it
was found that molasses makes a,
good feed. Reports indicate that(
when they place the molasses in a;
barrel with ground feed and soak the
mixture, they secure good results. !
Cane molasses was found to be the
most satisfactory for l:og feeding, j
altho either cane or beet molasses;
has proven very satisfactory for cat
tle and horses. Beet molasses, when
used for boss io likely to be too lax
ative. For Dairy Feed.
With a serious shortage of good
dairy feeds this winter, farmers
faced with a feed problem would do
well to consider the use of molasses,
says M. X. Lawritson. extension
dairyman at the college of agricul
ture. With a feeding value about equal,
pound for pound, to that of corn
when fed in small qualtities, it is con
sidered one of the cheaper sources
of nutrients available. Molasses can
be used to make unpalatable rough
age, of which a large amount will
probably be fed this winter, more pal
atable, and the molasses, which acts
as a laxative, counteracts the consti
pating effec t of large amounts of low
grade roughage.
It is recommended that molasses
be fed with protein feeds, being rich
in carbohydrates. The maximum for
milk cows is considered to be not
more than two and a half to three
pounds per day.
EXTENSION GRANTED
Washington. Workers will have
until midnight Tuesday, Dec. 15, to
apply for federal pension accounts.
The original deadline of last Satur
day midnight was extended because
registration of 26,000,000 employes
was not proceeding as vapidly as ex -
pected.

LAND COMMISSION
SQUAEELE SETTLED
Lincoln, Bee. 8. Office workers in
Nebraska's 10 million dollar capitol
got assurance Tuesday of heat and
light during the cold month of De
cember. Governor It. L. Cochran settled a
legal dispute over the date Leo N.
Swanson, state land commissioner
ai.d capitol custodian, goes out of of
fice. The people re-elected him and
abolished his office by constitutional
amendment on the same day, last
Nov. 3.
Attorney General William II.
Wright said the amendment took ef-
feet election day and it was Mr.
Cochran's duty to seize the office.
Mr. Swanson's lawyers said the
amendment would not go into effect
until the legislature meet3 in Jan
ur ry.
Mr Cochran, a democrat, solved
the problem by appointing Mr. Swan
son, a republican, as his personal
agent to maintain the office until Jan.
7, the day his present term expires.
The governor said he was not decid
ing whether Mr. Swanson was out of
office, merely protecting his tenure
against that possibility. Mr. Sv.au
3on was the only republican to win
an elective state office in the last
two Nebraska elections.

Crop Control
for Next Year
is Planned
Corn Planting Limits Are Set Up
m Farming Program for
the Coming Year.
Washington, Dec. 8. Administra
tion leaders unveiled their 1937 fed
eral farm program today and reveal
ed a more direct attempt at con
trolling crop production, especially of
corn.
Under the program, farmers are to
b? paid up to 500 million dollars for
shifting acreage from major crops to
other plantings classed as soil-conserving,
and also for following ap
proved "soil building practices."
To keep corn acreage from "run
ning away next year" as a result of
this year's drouth-shortened crop and
accompanying high prices, officials
said corn belt farmers are to be as
signed planting quotas beyond which
they could not go without reducing
their benefit payments.
The limit on corn acreage is to
apply in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illi
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa. Missouri, Ne
braska, fc'outh Dakota, Minnesota and
Kansas.
54 1'Iillion Limit Seen.
A probable corn limit of 54,200,
0 00 acres in major producing states
was predicted. This would compare
with an acreage cf 54,500,000 in
the same area this year and 5 9 mil
lion in 19 32-33. No definite corn
limit was attempted this year.
Spokesmen for the agricultural ad
justment administration said the
1937 plan could be accomplished un
der the present soil conservation-subsidy
act.
Secretary Wallace asserted the
rules and regulations for next year
generally are "similar in many re
spects to the 193C program."
II. R. Tolley, adjustment adminis
trator, said changes "place more re
sponsibility for administration upon
the farmers themselves."
Kcre Grass Land Included.
Wallace called attention to expan
sion of the program to include more
range and grass lands, and provide
larger paj-ments for growers of vege
tables and fruits. He added that the
actual appropiration "remains to be
made" and so the program "is de
pendent upon the action of congress."
Administrator Tolley said the 1937
plan eliminates payments for divert
ing acreage in New England and
other areas with small farms, but
permits them "an increased allow
ance for soil-building practices."
"The program for cotton and to
bacco farms," Tolley continued, "will
be very much like the plan this year,
ar.d diversion from these major soil
depleting crops will be encouraged."
Corn Rate $9.45 an Acre.
He explained that the limit on
corn plantings in big producing
states Is designed "to prevent in
creases which might not only defeat
the effort to conserve the soil, but
with normal yields result in sur
pluses which would greatly reduce
prices."
Deductions will be made from pay
ments on any farm where the corn
acreage is larger than a quota estab
lished by county AAA committees.
(The move is regarded as a direct
attempt to block the usual tendency
of farmers to expand acreage in cer
tain crops after short j-ields have
pushed prices skyward.)
The limit on payment for shifting
acreage from the general soil de
pleting base will be 15 per cent again
next year. On farms where corn is
the major crop this payment will be
?D.4o an acre.

Grand Island
Fire Causes a 40
Thousand Loss
Partially Completed Theatre Ruild
ing and Two Stores Set Ablaze
by Open "Heat Pots."
Grand Island. Fire which broke
out in the partially completed theater
building shortly before C o'clock
Tuesday morning, did damage esti
mated in the neighborhood of $40,
000 to the theater and to adjoining
business houses.
While the fire was confined to the
theater, the O'Loughlin furniture
company, located to the west side ofi
the theater, suffered heavy smoke i
and some water damage. The Kauf
man store, on the east side, escaped
with little smoke damage.
Harry Schiller, manager of the
theater, estimated the actual fire loss
in the neighborhood of $20,000 and
while officials of the 0"Loughlin com-
pany declined to make an estimate
of damage to their store and stock, it
was believed it would run to a con
siderable figure. All loss, it was
urderstocd, was covered by insur
ance. Fire started on the east side, mid
way in the theater, from an over
heated open "heat pot." Several of
the pots had been placed in the the
ater for the night to keep freshly
poured cement from freezing. Mr.
Schiller said a watchman was sup
posed to have been on duty just to
watch these heat pots.
By the time firemen arrived at the
site, the flames were spreading to
scaffolding. Firemen laid 12 lines of
hese and poured water into the
building from all angles for nearly
four hours before the flames could be
extinguished.
BUDGET BALANCING

PLANTS GROWN IN WATER
PRODUCE FINEST "GREEN"
Plants grown in water have leaves
cf a color which it is impossible to
produce in soil grown house plants.
It is suggestive of tropical growth,
v.ith a brilliance which many prefer
over the more conventional greens
and yellow-greens.
Few plants find nourishment
enough in water alone to sustain
them, and the length of life of th'se
which do survive in short as com
pared with the soil-grown house
plants we are accustomed to. Still,
they will last many weeks and some
times several months.
The familiar Chinese evergreen.
aglaonema, is one of the best sub-
jects for growing in this manner. It
has broad green leaves on a heavy I
jointed stalk, which seem as tender the most fitting decoration of all be
and refreshing as a lettuce leaf in cause they reflect nature's own beauty
spite of their heaviness. They make
up an attractive dish garden. A good
way to grow them is to fill a shallow j variety of materials. We think f.rst
bowl with pebbles, the colored crjof holly, with its shiny foliage and
seashell types are preferred because
they are attractive looking, and fill
it with water so that the tops of
the pebbles are just above the sur
face. The pebbles will bold the plants
in place, while the roots will spread
out into the water and gain a firm
footing around them.
Another familiar xlant which can
be cultivated to advantage in water
is the philodendron. Its heavy leaves
are always a healthy green, but they
will take on an even fresher com
plexion in water. Because the vine
will often be heavy, it is best to
make some provision for holding the
base in the container.
Nephthytis liberica is another
handsome plant to grow this way,
and the English ivy, especially the
smaller types, will put on a green
display which is exceeded even by
their luxuriant habits outdoors.
One of the many arguments in
favor cf the water grown plant is
the type of container which may be
used. Although plants grown in soil
must have a pot of sorts to grow in.
the water plants can use anything,
from a cut glass bowl to some of your
fancy Chinawear.
One precaution should always be
observed. That is, that plants grown
in water should never have the di
rect sunlight. They look well in the
direct sunlight, to be sure, but it will
set them back in time, and they will
be much better off without it.
VISITS RELATIVES HERE
Charles L. Byers of Walthill, Ne
braska, was here Sunday to visit his

Christmas
Wreaths are
Traditional
Custom as Old as Christian Era Is
Still Honored One cf Finest Is
the Magnolia Wreath.
One of the most ancient of Christ
mas practices is to hang a holly
wreath on the front door, or peihaps
in a window where the light indoors
may shine through it.
Wreaths and other evergreen decor
ations, with their bright colored br-
ries and prickly leaves and spines.
are as much a part of Christmas a?
Santa Claus' reineer; and they are
at this season.
Wreaths are made nowadays of a
bright berries, because of its ancient
association with Christmas, dating
back to the beginning of its celebra
tion. There is also the ruscus wreath,
made of cured leaves in such a man
ner that it will last for weeks in
doors or out. Ruscus i3 a broom-like
shrub with flakey, compact leaves
which may be dyed red, silver or
green. Such a wreath is oftentimes
decorated with pine cones or scarlet '
berries. Ruscus roping in various
colors can be used to decorate the
doorway or mantel-piece, or in al
most any situation that needs a bit of
Christmas color.
The magnolia wreath is one of the
finest, for the large, smooth, dark
leaves of this beautiful shrub are
lovely in themselves. It can be decor
ated with other dried materials to
give it color, and if given care will
carry over for another j-ear.
Wreaths of varying sizes and
shapes are made from the many types
of pine and spruce boughs. They are
economical, and will usually last for
several weeks. A sprig of holly, or
artificial poinsettia fastened to them,
adds sparkling color. Lycopodium,
or ground-pine, with its erect or
trailing branches, makes one of the
finest wreaths. When some of the
ctrands are colored or frosted, and a
few varnished cones added, they have
a real Christmas appearance.
SHOWS SOME nPS0VEME3T
Mrs. Lyle Horton, who ha3 been
confined to her home for the past ten

but still far from well. She has been
suffering from the seasonal epidemic
of cold3 and f.u that have placed 60
muny on the sick list.
