DECEMBER 6. 1933 Farm Bureau Federation Opens Organized Ag Week Nebraska Crops Judges-The Winners iii urn ii iii i 1 1 ii mi in ii heiium, 200 Delegates Attend First Sessions Monday Organized Agriculture week got under way yesterday, bringing delegations from virtually every farm society of the state to meet ings on the university campus. The annual convention of the Ne braska Farm Bureau federation holds the center of the stage to day after which the other groups will get under way. 200 delegates attended yesterday's sessions. Speeches by Niles Wallace, farm boy from Lexington, who is former president of the Dawson County Rural Youth and C. Y. Thompson, president of the Ne braska Faim Bureau federation, were important events of Monday afternoon. In the morning Mrs. R. L. Haskins, farm woman from Republican City, and Harry E. Terrell, field representative of Economic Policy committee, led a discussion on farm tenancy. In the Monday afternoon session Mrs. Glenn Hill urged better rural schools and Fred S. Wallace, chairman of the Nebraska A.C. P. committee, told of "Human Side of Farm Progress." At the an nual banquet of the Farm Bureau, E. M. Huckfeldt presided, and Sen. Oliver Cannon of Knox, Ind . served as chief speaker. "Progressive" Youth. "We have no patience with members of the older generation who do not work and think along progressive lines," declared Miles Wal! "-e in his speech Monday aft ernoon. "We will always respect them but to merit our admiration, they must move forward in their thinking as your organization is doing." C. Y. Thompson emphasized ef ficiency and not quantity of pro duction as the chief need of Ne braska farmers. "While industry reduced its production during the depression to maintain prices, farmers main tained their production and sold for much lower prices. The agri cultural implement industry, for example, reduced its production 80 percent from 1929 to the spring of 1933, but cut prices only 6 per cent. During the same period, farm production was reduced 6 percent while farm prices went down C3 percent." "Even if we had a tariff of S4.20 a bushel instead of only 42 cents." stated Thompson in deal ing with prices for exported farm goods, "it would not give us a fair price for export commodities such as wheat. Too often our tar iffs greatly increase the price of goods the farmer buys, but he must se'l for the world price if he produces an export crop." Dona!d E. Brown. Perkins county farm boy, won the Ne braska puM-c speaking contest of the Nebraska Rural Youth late yesterday afternoon. Brown lives on a farm near Madrid.

Bill Beasley, Schuyler quarter back: This highly explosive field general could do everything in the book. He was a deadly tackle and hid long runs, passing and drop kicking made Schuyler a dangerous foe for anybody's foot ball team. Nick Douvas, Hastings guard: Highly rccoinnu-n ! 1 in the Has tings territory, this lad was an exceptionally fa-st. hard charger and an inspiring leader in the forward wall.

TONY In Person With His Ms&irnaDniietWes anndl IPnnpjpetis Sunnaafl5ny9 DDecc HI 7:30 P. M. All over America and the continent, Tony Sarg is known and beloved for his incredible accomplishments in the field limited to those who are nimble and bright enough to manipulate the intricate mechanism of the Marionettes. No one at present can approach Sarg's genius. His dolls don't merely act and dance, but they eat, drink, fight with each other in armed tournaments, juggle balls, play the piano, and perform magical feats that might be classed with those of Houdini. Sarg's show is the one (with additions) which "wowed" the Chicogo World Fair audiences. Don't miss this feature of the Union's Celebrity Series. Mod (CInaingc
