"It represents to Nebraska a way to expand state gov ernment dollars a hundred-fold by taking advantage of the re sources which are available for state promotion," he said. The Governor pointed out that In the two years of the promo tion there will be 1.2 million brochures on the trail distribu ted in the states outside the area; a feature story with pic tures will have reached the eyes of 50 million readers of the pub lications carrying the story, and that as much as $500,000 In ad vertising will be donated through the petroleum Industry. "Nebraska's cost share has been $2,000 for each of these two years. Incidentally, this money was raised from private sources since there were no state government funds avail able. However, I feel very strongly that this is a state gov ernment obligation and that these costs can and must be borne by an Independent tourist agency within state govern -ment. And we won't be able to go back to those same private sources year after year they have been willing to help out until the Legislature Indicates what It will do for a tourist pro gram," the Governor said. The Old West Trail, the Gov ernor said, Is patterned after the first such trail the New England "Heritage Trail" which was conceived and start ed through the efforts of the Phone 2708 She had been 'ill in the hospital in Tucson lor some time.

I am Impa tiently looking forward to maic- ine an acauaintance with your Industrial life." American Petroleum Institute. "Soon after I first took office, we had a two-day workshop on state promotion. One of the speakers was James Bennett, of the API. At his suggestion, we started a series of meetings with representatives of the oth er four states, which resulted! In the Old West Trail," he said. "The purpose of area pro motion is to attract travelers! to the region. It is then up to j the state and the communities i those on the trail and those not on the trail to lure the tourists with their own bag of attractions. The Old West Trail is not, of course, the entire tour ist program for a state. South Dakota, for instance, while co operating with this promotion with an equal $2,000 with that of Nebraska spends in addition some $380,000 a year for tourist promotion," he said. The Governor said that each of the states would put up high way signs to mark the trail through the state. Fine Pheasant Season Forecast LINCOLN Ncbraskans can anticipate a pheasant season with as many or more birds in the fields than there were in 1062. This bright news for pheasant hunters was announced by M O. Steen, director of the Game Commission. Based on early surveys, game technicians are torecasting a hatch of pheasant chicks as large or larger than last year. Barring unusual wea ther, the phesant is expected to prosper throughout most of its Nebraska range. Jerry Haase in Naval Exercise USS HANCOCK Jerry L.

Prairie Chickens, Grouse Numerous LINCOLN The prairie chic ken and sharp-tailed grouse pop ulations are essentially the same as they were last year, accord ing to M. O. Steen, director of thp Game Commissioner. The annual spring grouse count conducted by the game technicians indicates a very slight dip in the number of sharptiils, but it is not consid ered to be of a significant na ture. Steen reminded hunters that the fall population will depend upon summer reproduction, "at this time, we can only speculate as to how good the hatch will be. However, favorable nesting wea ther has been noted and the fall population should exceed last years crop." THAT TIME OF YEAR Long Beach, Calif.

Thursday, June 13, 1963 Section B PAGE THREE Cattle Feeder 'Can Help Beef Price Situation' Can the Individual cattle feed er do anything on his own to help the present beef cattle market which has been on the down side since the first of the year? The answer to that, surpris ingly enough, is "Yes," in the view of Hugh Mactier, vice chairman of the Rivers Market Group. "As a market representative," Mactier added, "some probably will consider our position on this as biased. The fact is," he con tinued, "with beef cattle supply at a record level, the selling side presently can ill-afford any practice injurious to the price structure. Yet, every time a load of beef cattle is disposed of at less than full market price, the value of all cattle is depre ciated." Moreover, Mactier noted, the processor who obtains beef at what amounts to below market prices, can, and frequently does, jolt the beef market as well by dumping that lower cost com modity into wholesale channels. fMyK' ill jJfti-J I Mr IN NEBRASKA IlEER IS A-NATURAL' Brewed slowly, by o centuries-old natural process, beer Is Nebraska's traditional beverage of moderation light, sparkling, delicious.

Mactier also cited the fact U. S. beef cattle slaughter so far thi,, year is up by some seven per- ' cent. However, the cattle count at the major markets is shorf " of a year ago. Moreover, . the only solid upturn in cattle val-,' ues so far this year in late March came in the one month that market receipts exceeded those of a year ago. "Without question," Mactier said, "a larger proportion of beef cattle supply moving In competitive market channels would prove a real help to the entire industry."
