Finigan State Director of Agriculture A chemical reaction has been developed by Midwest Research Institute which gives a high yield of a new starch product. According to scientists' work ing on the project, the product can p r o b a b ly beproduced cheaply. Possible large-scale uses and practical methods of commercial production are now being considered for the product. Since starch is obtained in large quantities from wheat, corn and milo, increased starch utilization would provide addi tional commercial outlets for these crops. Some of the important practi cal applications for the new product may be in the field of paper technology. The substance may be capable of increasing wet strength and grease resist ance in paper. The Midwest scientists will co operate with the staff of the In stitute of Paper Chemistry at Appleton, Wisconsin, in explor ing potential paper industry uses. Nebraska also has three other projects at the Institute of Paper Chemistry. Interest is spreading in estab lishing an electronic recovery system for scientific informa tion. Ralph Reed of Nebraska has been actively exploring the possibility of cataloging scienti fic papers dealing with various agricultural commodities. If the system were success fully established, and there is every indication to believe that it could be, scientists would be able to get a list of all scientific literature written on a given topic in a matter of minutes from an electronic machine in stead of spending weeks in a li brary scanning indexes. A regional research effort to find new uses for agricultural products received the backing of the 12 state regional conference of the Council of State Govern ments at a recent meeting at Rapid City, South Dakota. Reports made on Nebraska's L. B. 722 program prompted passage of a resolution support ing the establishment of similar programs throughout the midwest. CAPDTTOIL CORNER Congressman GLENN CUNNINGHAM MM 5th Cr Main SALES-SERVICE Plarrsmouth Phone 2133 $147,000 Loaned By FLBA of Weeping Water Loans made by the Federal T and Bank Association of Weep ing Water amounted to $147,500 during the first six months of 1961, according to Manager Har old C. Elliott. The volume of new loans made in the January-June period this year compared with $140,000 loaned in the same period in 1960, Elliott said. Delinquencies were near a record low in the two-county Washington, D. C. (Special) All Americans are behind the President in his determination to stand up for our rights in Berlin. His request for $3.5 billion more for our defense forces will prob ably beranted bhe Congress. One thing disturbs many Con gressmen, and that is the ap proach of this administration to defense and non-defense spend ing. On one hand we are told that there are sufficient taxes avail able for all the new billions of dollars in welfare programs and other non- defense programs proposed by the administration. But we are told that our de fense needs will have to be fi nanced by borrowing. We cer tainly do not have two U. S. Treasuries one for defense and one for non-defense items. Everything must be paid for by the same U. S. Treasury. It seems peculiar to me that we are supposed to be able to afford the domestic programs, but we have to borrow and add to the national debt to pay for defense programs. Who is kidding whom? We have one budget in this country. Defense and non-defense spend ing are both in the same budget. Who says it is the defense spend ing that forces us into the red? The figures show clearly that for the past few years it has bees the non-defense spending which has shot steadily upwards, while only moderate increases have been made in defense spending. I say we can afford the de fense spending whatever is nec essary. We must be strong and Mrs. Tom Tonnanr Phone 4251 Mr. and Mrs. Dayton limning and family were among those who attended the Grahm Family Rcimi.ni'ut the Louisville Legion Hall Sunday of last week.

But I don't think the admini stration can hoodwink the Amer ican people into believing that we can. afford more for defense and more and more welfare and domestic programs too. When the total spending goes over the tcp, it's time to hold off on in creases on the home front. I am convinced that the Rus sians do not take us seriously when we talk of a firm stand in Berlin, because they are smart enough to see that we will bank rupt our country if we don't quit spending ourselves to death which is what they predicted all along we would do. If the ad ministration would concentrate on our defense buildup and pub licly state that non-essential j spending programs must be de- J $14$17 lerrea, me rtussians mignt oe convinced we really mean business. Most Livestock Starts Week Steady To Higher Most livestock opened steady to higher this week at Omaha. Hogs, which last week reached a one-year high of $19.50, were an exception; Monday's trend on them was steady to 25c lower. Fat cattle, in light supply Mon day, were generally 25c higher, some steers under 1300' pounds up more. There were steers and mixed yearlings to $23.50. heif ers to $23.25, with a big share of the fat cattle run in a range of $21-$22.75, steers to over 1300 pounds as high as $23. Cows sold steady, instances firm, bulk $13.50-$16. Stockers and feeders looked steady to 25-50c higher, good to choice 525 to 700 pound stock steers $22.50-$25.50, comparable quality 825 to 950 pound feeder steers $21-$22.25, mostly choice Montana stock and feeding heifers weighing 516-G00 at $23.-25-$24.25; medium to just-good stock cows $15.50-$16; and choice 215-pound Nebraska steer and heifer calves $32.

EACH Pot Holder For Hot Pots QC EACH PUZZLE MAPS Are There 25' Two weeks ago I reported some figures on the size and number of Nebraska farms. One of the figures was incomplete the number of farms in the State. The agriculture census in 1959 disclosed that there were 90,475 farms, compared to 100,846 farms in 1954. The drop, as I re ported, was due to a trend to ward larger farms and a change in the Census Bureau definition of a farm. Fat lambs sold steady, Spring lambs $15.50-$18; old crop shorn lambs and yearlings with No. 1 pelts $14-$14.75. Slaughter ewes held at $2.50 - $4.25. Native Spring feeder lambs weighing 55-60 selling at $13-$13.50 were also rated steady. Among recent sales at Omaha for shippers from Cass County: Gerald Heim, 26 hogs, wt. 195, $19.25.

Elliott reported only 0.3 per cent of the member-borrowers were behind on the pay ments on June 30, compared with 1.4 per cent last year. Elliott forecast brisk loan ac tivity for the remainder of 1961 due to a trend toward more ef ficient farms, the need for ade quate credit sources, and a de sire to stabilize credit by sub stituting long-term real estate borrowing for short-term debt. The Weeping Water associ ation is one of 107 FLBA's in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming served by the Fed eral Land Bank of Omaha.
