NEBRASKA MONDAY,' FEBRUARY 1), 1963 TEN CENTS PER COPY NUMBER 26 ACP Practices for County Outlined by ASC Committee The ACP Development Group has again set up an outstand ing program for the farmers of Cass County; tney have provid ed practices In the Agricultural Conservation Program for 1963 that give adequate attention to the soil and water conservation problems of the county, the Cass ASC Committee said. The Federal Government thru the Agricultural Conservation Program is ready and willing to help defray part of the cost of this conservation work, because the future prosperity of the na tion Necessitates the protection of our land and water resources; conservation of these resources is urgent, according to N e 1 1 Munkres, Weeping Water, man ager for the committee. A number of new practices have been added to the 1903 program, that we feel will be of interest to the farmers of this area, he said. The 1963 approved practices for Cass County are: A-2 Establishment of perman ent cover. A-3 Vegetative cover for crop rotation. A-4 Treatment of cropland. A-7 Tree and shrub planting for forestry purpose. A-8 Tree and shrub planting for erosion control. B-7 Live stock water dams. B-10 Forestry improvement. C-l Sod waterways. C-4 Oradient and level ter races. C-5 Diversions. C-6 Erosion control dams. C-10 Tile drains. F-2 Control of noxious weeds. O-l Wildlife habitat. 0-2 Wetland Development.' 0-3 Ponds for wildlife. We hope that all farmers will review the practices and make a survey of their farms to deter mine the practices that are most needed on their farms, that cost-sharing would be needed to enable them to complete the. Madame Legislator . . . (The following; was written by the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation). Lady legislators have been the unusual In Nebraska, but the fact Is there have been more madame legislators thun most Nebraskans realize. A casual survey of the records In the Nebraska Blue Book of those who have served In the state Legislature, Including the House and the Senate and the Unicameral, found the names of twelve ladles listed. All served either In the House during the two-house era; or In the Uni cameral. There have been almost 4,000 Nebraskans who have served In the state's lawmaking bodies since 1867, but for most of that time ladles were not eligible to be legislators. It has been only since 1920 the ladles could hold office or vote; and then the first lady to serve In the Legislature waited five years. Who could claim to be the first lady legislator In Nebraska might be considered a three- way toss-up. The casual survey showed three ladies In the House In 1925, all elected. They were: Mable A. Olllasple, Oretna; Clara C. Humphrey, Mullen; and Sarah T. Mulr, Lin coln. Lady legislator Olllasple 'apparently enjoyed her service for she served five consecutive terms from 1925 to 1933, the longest service of any lady law maker. Sarah T. Mulr came back to the Legislature for a second term In 1933. Seven of the twelve ladles won their legislative spurs through election; and five were ap pointed to fill vacancies, some times In cases where their hus bands died in office. House members elected were: Mable A. Olllasple; Clara C. Humphrey; Sarah T. Mulr; Myrtle Musser, Rushvllle, 1931; and Marjorie O. Stark, Norfolk, 1935. Appointed to the House were: Barbara Sloup, Omaha, 1930; Edith Beckman, Omaha, 1933; and Rush Work Cushing, Ord, 1935. The first lady elected to the Unicameral was Kathleen A. roote, Axtell, 1955-1957. Prior to her service, two ladles had been appointed to fill vacancies. The first lady member of the Uni cameral was Nell Krause, Al bion, 1946. Fay Brltt, Lincoln, was appointed In 1954. The lady with the longest service In the Unicameral Is the Incumbent, Fern Hubbard prme, who Is representing a Lincoln district for the third time. She has served continuously since 1959. work to the extent needed Munkres said. If any of these practices are needed, all farmers have an op portunity to request the federal government to share the costs. The official form on which to file your request Is now avail able at the Cass ASCS County Office. Requests for federal cost sharing must be filed with the Cass ASC County Committee be fore any work is started, if you desire assistance in carrying out a practice. The request must be filed during the 30-day period prior to the time when the practice will be started. Under no circumstances will a request be accepted, If per formance of the practice has been started before the request is made, Munkres said. The Cass ASC County Com mittee at Weeping Water, will be happy to discuss your con servation problems at any time, he said. 'Livestock Best Opportunity for Farm Income Hike' McCOOK Livestock produc tion offers the greatest oppor tunity for Increasing net farm Income among the agricultural enterprises currently available to the Nebraska farmpr, a Uni versity of Nebraska official said here today. Dr. Robert M. Koch, chairman of the Department of Animal Husbandry, told 450 farmers at tending the first In a series of three area swine days around the State, that "potential bene fits from livestock industry ''X panslon are particularly prom ising In the area of hog raising. Dr. Koch said that Nebraska, Which Is In seventh place amo.-.g major swine producing states, is In a favorable position to raise its rank. "Iowa, which raises 21 million hogs annually, Is not five times better than Nebraska In the productivity. Inclination or abil ity to raise hogs," he declared. Listed as factors which should encourage more hog production In Nebraska were: strategic po sition In relation to markets and abundant feed grain storks. Ne braska is the closest of all major feed grain producing states to the fast-growing west coast mar kets, he pointed out. Dr. Koch said that southwest ern Nebraska which has a defi cit of hogs is trucking much of Its mllo to other states. The pro duction of feed grains must be brought Into balance with that of llvestuck If Nebraska agricul ture Is to move forward, he ob served. The University spokesman en couraged the 450 producers pres ent to pool their Individual re sourcesIncluding know-how with that of neighboring farmers In planning expansion of swine operations.
