amount beyond their ability to pay. Taxes have risen in the past 20 years out of all
proportion to the income of the people of the State of Nebraska. The farmer and

bindweed eradication, combatting pest an
nually. 4 The Agricultural Agents' office is the hub of
agricultural activities. More than 5,700 office
calls, 1,000 telephone calls and 17,800 ibulle
tins distributed in 1937.

13 If you back Agricultural Extension, you back
those fine youngsters who are doing such won
derful work in their 4-H clubs. Isn't it
worthwhile ? -
14 All educational organizations are supported
by tax funds. Extension work is educational,
and should be supported by tax funds.
What Will It Cost To Do Your Share?
Approval of the question means $2,800.00 is the maximum amount that could be ap
propriated in Cass county or this would be 8 for each $1,000.C0 assessed valuation.
This comes from the General fund. It means there would be NO increase in taxes!
, IT'S A PLEASURE TO VOTE "YES"
"Shall an appropriation be made annually from the General Fund
of the county for the support of Agricultural Extension Work?"
