Many farmers in the pan-l luindle failed to plant the major por tion of their wheat last fall, due to' ivifavorable seeding conditions, and now are wondering about the possi-j bilities of seedine: spring wheat. Spring wheat, however, in Ne braska annarentlv has its onlv place . . , ! 1:1 tb.e western part ot the state, and i more particularly in the northwest ern section. Experimental work over a long period of time at the Xorth Tl.itte experiment substation shows that spring wheat yielded 17.3 bush els compared to 21.7 bushels for win ter wheat. At the Nebraska experi ment station at Lincoln Dr. T. A.

Experimental work and actual farm experience shows that extreme ly early planting is essential to suc- cessful spring wheat production 1 n It should be planted before oats and barley. At the experiment station in Lincoln March 19 average seeding date gave higher yields than any sub sequent date. As a usual thing the wheat should be seeded as early as weather will permit. For eastern Nebraska farmers are inclined to agree, however, that adapted early maturing varieties of barlcy like Spartan are more depend more fced Per IIence an' shift that they make, agronomists believe, lilluei mun spuns ! wheat. .

Hunter has finally de cided, after an investigation of deci sions of courts that bank night as operated in theaters is in violation of the lottery law of the state and an nounces that he will take the initia- jtive In filing a suit to test the mat- ter and stop the practice which he s.a ia mvsi.u m ."ru'oo. Chaney who served as assistant attor- nev general under the former state """':""' o. ... that capacity terminates March 1, has been retained by Hunter to take charge of the prosecution of a theater 1 not yet selected. Hunter asks the co-operation of county attorneys to ,whoin he has sent his opinion which ' was prepared by Chaney. Turner's office aunouncd on Jan. !16 that until an investigation of con flicting opinions of courts in other i states had been studied his office would hold that bank night conduct ed in accoidaii'. e with a copyrighted plan is not a lottery. I "In view of the fact that the courts jare divided on the question, we in i vestigated the actual workings of ibank night," says Hunter's present announcement. "We are now satis fied that the plan is an attempted subterfuge, to escape the stigma of being a lottery and that the sub terfuge, alt'io ingenious, is not convincing. Therefore we believe the plan is in violation of the lottery laws of this state. Inasmuch as the plan is iii operation in nearly all ountirs of the state, it is right and proper that this office take the in itial steps to end the practice. It is our plan to do so in the near fu ture." The constitution of Nebraska pro hibits the legislature from author j iing any games of chance, lottery or gift enterprise, "for any purpose I whatever." The statutes prohibit lot- tcries and the supreme court has a 1 long line ol decisions construing the onst itut ion and statutes strictly. Seven states have held bank night legal and six or more :iave held it in j violation of lottery laws, says the at I tnruey general. SPRING IS NEAT. Ki-firn Thursday's Iaily The near approach of spring is at hand, Mr5?. F. R. Guthmaun reported today that the first robin of the sea-! son had viaited their home. The j birds are among the first of the feath-J ercd summer residents of Nebraska to appear on the scene and herald the passing of the long winter season. Despite the bird however the weather was sharp and clear as Feb-! ruary draws to its last days. VISIT FRIENDS HERE Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Walker, of Omaha, were in the city for a short time Friday afternoon as guests of C. C. and E. H. Wescott. The Walkervi1 were driving from Omaha to Ottawa,) Kansas, where they are to visit with the mother of Mr. Walker, who wa9( formerly Miss Harma Ash of this city, a cousin of the Wescotts and with whom she made her home in her girlhood. I Poultry Wanted Tuesday and Wednesday Heavy Hens, 5 lbs. and Over A. R. CASE & CO. West of Ford Garage Report Dust Bow! is Slowly Expanding! Ecnsas Man Doutts If All the South vc:t Will Have to Be Aban doned ; Area Has S;read. Oklahoma City. Agriculturists, marshalled here for a war against crop killing wind erosion, were told the "dusC bowl" is spreading swift ly across the southwest, creeping eastward in Oklahoma at the rate of 30 miles a year. Conferees were pre pared to ask the federal government for aid because "the dust problem is too big for any one state to handle." At Manhattan, Kas., Harry Um berirer. Kansas state college exten sion director, termed "absurd" any intimation that dust had destroyed the southwest's wheat producing area. Altho some "relatively small areas" should be returned to grass, "in most of the southwest farming will not need to be abandoned," he declared, adding: "To say that dust storms and wind erosion have de stroyed the southwest as a wheat pro ducing area is as absurd as to say that the recent flood has destroyed the Ohio valley corn producing area." Junian Tarrant, planning board erosion expert, said 7,000,000 acres of western Oklahoma land now is damaged seriously by wind erosion, while in 1935 about 2,000,000 acres were "completely ruined by the dust." "The dust area has spread like a canker," said AY". G. Hughes, Texas county legislator. "You get a little spot of it and it starts grow ing. I am firmly convinced Oklahoma City is sitting right now on the eastern edge of a new 'dust bowl.' " C. H. Hyde, Alva, Okla., farm leader, said his ob servations showed the area of loose, shifting top soil is marching east ward 3 0 or more miles annually. Dr. Taul 15. Sears, 'university of Oklahoma botany professor, said he also heard "the dust area is moving at about that rate." "One commun ity, one county, even one state cannot handle it it's a federal proposition," declared Giles Miller, Guymon, Okla., publisher.

He was injured while at work for the Gordon Van Co., and has been at thj hospital since December 11. 1936. 7viiile a resident of this city he was married to Miss Bessie Kerns, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Kerns, they moving to Omaha a few years ago and where they have since made their home.

Shelterbelt to Sei Up Project for the Fai rmer Ken on belief Rolls Will Be Hired to Plant, Fence and Water tlie Seedlings. Alliance. Box Butte county farm ers may have 1,000 acres of trees planted, fenced, and cared for until next June 30 for the asking. The offer was made by an Alliance dem onstration project which 13 a part of the federal government's Canada to i Texas shelterbelt program. tV change in original shelterbelt Ians moved to boundaries of the main belt approximately 100 miles east of this county. The Box Butte county farm bureau arranged to have the demonstration project set up to experiment with trees in an other wise barren area. The government once attempted to establish wooded tracts in this part of Nebraska by permitting home steaders to develop tree claims. Only a few scrubby patches of brush re main to mark the spots where the homesteaders planned seedlings that were neither adapted nor acclimated to this region. Drouths, prairie fires, lacl; of care, and cattle also helped denude the tree claims. ; Forty years ago "Old Jules" San doz demonstrated fruit trees could be cultivated on the Mirage flats along the Niobrara and in the sand hills toward the east. j The shelterbelt plan specifies that the farmers who receive trees must conform to shelterbelt standards of planting, furnish material for the fences, and agree to care for the trees after June CO. Between 50 and 75 men, now o:i relief rolls, will be em ployed in developing the project. Ap proximately 2.") farmers already have applied for trees, whi?h will be dis tributed from S. C. Neubauer's of fice.

District Judge Sears, speaking at a club banquet, told how he was once acting governor of Ne braska without knowing it. It happened when he was speaker of ths state house of representatives. The governor, lieutenant governor and president of the state senate were all out of the state at the same time for four days and that made him acting governor; but, he added, he didn't find out about it until the other officials had returned. Judge Sears, continuing his story of his career in politics, said he served eight years as a Nebraska con gressman in Washington without ever seeing the inside of the white house.
