Soybeans are an important war crop and the acreage planted this year in Sarpy County was far above that of any previous year Caunty Agent Erickson reported this week. Most farmers, however, have small acreages but are pleased with the yields they are getting. Bernard Schram, farmer north of Papillion was combining his this week and estimated they would yield 28 to 30 bushels per acre. Farmers with sizeable acreages are planning to trade their soybeans for the processed soybean oilmeal. Erickson urged that this be done because the" oil from the beans is needed for the war effort and the soybean meal makes a much better' protein supplement than ground soybeans. Prices being paid for soybeans is ranging trom si.&u to si.60 per bushel. Reports from Iowa and Illi nois indicate that the soybean crop has been injured severely by wet weather this fall. Much of the seed in the past has come from this area. Sarpy County farmers who have a good quality seed may find it profit able to hold some of their crop for seed this coming spring because there will likely be a good demand for seed in view of the situation re ported in Iowa and Illinois. Destroyer 'O'Brien Told By Its Crew Not a Single Life Lost On the Destroyer Trapped Between Two Torpedoes SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3, (UP) Officers and crewmen told today how the Destroyer O'Brien, trapped be tween two torpedoes in the battle of the Solomons, took one and sank without loss of a single life. ' Lieut. Cmdr. Thomas Burrowes, Keypart, N. J., who commanded the O'Brien, said the crew's escape was "clearly a miracle." "It was just one of those one in a million things," said Burrowes, "and was helped along by some swell work on the part of the men." Burrowes and more than 200 of ficers and men of the O'Brien are here awaiting orders. They have requested that the crew be assigned intact to a new vessel. The O'Brien was in a task force with the United States carrier WTasp and other vessels on Sept. 15 when Japanese submarines attacked with torpedoes. The Wasp was hit, and later sank. - "We could see the Wasp burning fiercely," said Burrowes. "We weren't particularly worried about torpedoes because the subs are usual ly after bigger game than destroyers. "But suddenly we saw two tor pedoes streaking toward us. We couldn't dodge them both. If we speeded up we would get one and if we slowed down we would get the other. We cleared one and took the other forward. It was a terrific ex plosion. "So much water was thrown up that an American plane reported the O'Brien had been hit and "disap peared in 30 seconds, probably with everybody losf." Other vessels however could see that the O'Brien was still afloat and making headway. Some thought she had taken the torpedo deliber ately to save larger vessels. Burrowes said this was not true. "We don't do that," he said. "It is a very dangerous practice." He said he notified the engine room crew to keep the engines going. They did and the ship was never out of control until she began to break up the last time. After traveling a "considerable distance" Burrowes said, the O'Brien began to break up and he gave the order to abandon ship. The men went over the sides to rafts and were picked up by other vessels. "All we want now," he said, "is another ship and another crack at the.m" Cracken, Jack lively, Lavina Lively and Jack Lively; They conducted a box social v.hich netted $21.60 which they donated to the U. S. O. In receiving the donation C. W. Sorenson of Papillion, County U. S. O. Chairman, commended the lead ers and 4-H members for the fine spirit of patriotism shown by the group. Judge H. A. Collins addressed the group at their program and com mended them on the important part they were playing in the war effort by producing food. He also empha sized the importance of the training they were receiving through boys' and girls' 4-H club work. This group collected several hun dred pounds of 5 scrap metal and rubber in the recent drive. During the coming year the group has plans for enrolling in dairy, swine and beef projects. and schoolmate of Miss Haggard. The local committee of the Scrap drive which was held in August received $321.00 for the scrap which was turned in. $271.00 will be given to the Public Library fund and $50.00 will be given to Jewell school for books. 4-H Club Donates to U.
