Cook Work Unit Conservationist Soil Conservation Service The air tour last year was so weli liked that the soil conser vation district is planning an other this summer. A "bird's eye" view is the best way to see a farm, many of those 'making the first tour agreed. DeForest Brown, Weeping "War tor airport, The Cass Coun ty Extension Service, and the soil Conservation Service will assist the district with the tour. There will be no charge for farm owners and operators to make the trip. More complete plans for this meeting of the board of super event will be made at the July visors of the Cass soil conserva tion district. Time, place, and other details will be publicized before the tour so everyone can make plans to attend.

Last week Charles Vallery, Harry Potts, and Robert Lewis saw five deer at a pond on the Vallery farm in the east part of Cass county. Potts and Lewis of the Coil Conservation Service were look ing over soil conservation work which Vallery plans to do when they saw the deer. They agreed it was quite a sight to see five deer 'in a bunch in Cass county. Vallery had become used to see ing deer on his farm, but only one or two at a time. Like every one, he enjoys seeing them run ning wild. , ... i y J JUDGING SCHOOL The judging school started at ten o'clock.

J; session of the I.;'eraskn Lc Ma ture, Charles Marshall, prr:.:i;nt of the Nebraska Farm Lureau Federation,, cbeerved, "It ap pears that with the exceptien c? relief from the burden cf pro perty taxation Uebraska farm-; ers fared rather well at the) hands of the Legislature." . j The farm organization leader characterized the failure cf trie legislature to enact a salss or income tax or a combination of ! t.h two taxes in - broaden- t.hri tax base of the state a "major clef eat for agriculture." "We've become so used to los ing this legislative battle," Mar shall added, "we automatically start thinking in terms of two years ahead as soon as we know definitely we've been defeated." Aside from the tax defeat, the agriculture leader declared that farmers had little reason to quarrel with members of the legislature. - He cited as examples of good agricultural legislation achieved by the 1955 session: the removal of restriction on Agricultural Ex tension levies; regulation of the sale and distribution of mixed fertilizers; regulation of the sale of shell eggs (the Egg Qual ity Law); abolition of the Ne- braska Turnpike Authority; de-! feat of the Ton Mile Tax; the Veterinary Medicine School bill; providing of state funds for the S3tt:nj y i ; mandator- Eang's C :; ; maximv:'.a trailer r G.C: rcv.n:; al UtfzTznZi.. : : place of ad v;:. wheat; and 1; - tors to fc3 t in after darl; c . ways.

The records in the office of the Secretary of State, where state law requires all lobbyists to register and file a monthly statement of expenses, indicate five individuals were officially entitled ; ..to . . call themselves, spokesmen , for Nebraska farm families - at the 1955 session. ;1 Charles Marshall and Norris' Anderson, both with the Ne braska Farm Bureau Federation in Lincoln, were the only regis tered lobbyists for general farm organizations. C. H. Kreader, Dalton, and Carson R. Smith, Ogallala, were registered to rep resent the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association; and John E. Eidam, Omaha, was registered to represent the Nebraska Gram Council.. Marshall and Anderson ap peared at hearings on all but a few of the bills concerning agri culture and the general welfare of Nebraska farm families. Kreader and Smith directed their interest to the attainment of a Nebraska Wheat Develop ment and Resource Commission. Eidam was primarily interested in securing a Constitutional Ref erendum to permit Nebraskans to vote in November 1956 on their perference for a change from present ad. valorem taxes on grain and seed to a bushel tax, on which Farm Bureau was also active. No other farm organization or commodity group 'registered its official representatives with the Secretary of State. On the basis of official records, Nebraska farm families were represented by five individuals at the 1955 session of the legislature. Unofficially, of course, there was additional agricultural rep resentation in the person of groups and individuals, most of which made appearances on but a few selected bills or one par ticular bill. Only the Nebraska Farm Bu reau Federation of the three general farm organizations maintained full-time representa tion with the legislature from the opening day, January 4, un til the closing day, June 17. The representatives of . that organi zation were in. daily contact with members of the legislature; and made appearances during the session before committee hear ings on between 40 and 50 items of legislation which affected the well-being of farm families as farmers and as citizens of Nebraska.
