Nebraskans Believe State
Still in Depression --B eggs
Nebraska, now enjoying the
healthiest prosperity of its
career, is in danger of becoming
a psychological invalid.
Dr. Walter K. Beggs' Teachers
College faculty member, offered
that thought last week to mem
bers of the Nebraska Commer
cial Secretaries association at
the Lincoln Chamber of Com
merce. Psychologists agree, Dr. Beggs
said, that a man who believes he
is sick eventually will act like
an invalid even though he is in
the best of health.
"As a state," he said, "we
have been telling ourselves for
so long that we are poor and
poverty-stricken that we are in
grave danger of believing it.
"Nebraska is not poor," he
insisted. "We have a billion dol
lar income annually from agri
culture and our industrial out
put each year amounts to an
other billion."
Despite these facts, he said,
Nebraskans seem to talk more
about their poverty during the
drouth and depression than they
do about their present oppor
tunities for greatness.
The habit of "bemoaning," he
argued, is particularly danger
ous for Nebraska because Ne
brasks's greatest resource is its
people and people, unlike timber,
ore or oil, are subject to psycho
logical influences.
"Our, two great resources in
Nebraska," Dr. Beggs said, "are,
first, our people, and, second, our

Crops May Be Increased
Reports NU Geneticist
Nebraska farmers can boost
their corn yields approximately
70 per cent by using the latest
approved crop production prac
tices, a University scientist re
ported Tuesday night.
Dr. A. T. Kiesselbach, address
ing a campus meeting of Sigma
Xi, research society, said the de
velopment of the science of gene
tics in the past 50 years had led
to the senationally-yielding hy
brid corn varieties. At the same
time crop and soil fHentists have
made important cultural discov
eries which have greatly in
creased yields.
"The day of ample virgin soil
fertility in Nebraska has passed,"
Dr. Kiesselbach said. "We must
now depend upon improved va
rieties and improved cultivation
practices to increase our yields
If farmers in our state would
use all the latest improved pro
duction factors, the average yield
of corn could be increased from
about 32 bushels per acre to
about 58 bushels per acre, or
about 70 per cent."
Dr. Kiesselbach listed eleven
crop production factors which
would boost yields:
(1) Retirement of marginal

New Blue Book
Now Available
The current issue of the Ne
braska Blue Book is now being
distributed for public informa
tion according to Dr. Roger
Shumate, director of research for
the legislative council which is
in charge of the publication.
Tlw legislative council is in
charge of the publication since
it deals with research and sta
tistical matters, Dr. Shumate,
professor of political science at
the University said.
During the coming two weeks,
copies of the book will be sent to
schools, public libraries and
civic clubs throughout the state
and to state offices, he reported.
Copies have already been dis
tributed to members of the leg
islature and the press, according
to Dr. Shumate. The book is also
sent to other states on the ex
change basis.
Only 2,500 copies of the book
are printed, so few remain after
the - fixed distribution is taken
care of.
Dr. Shumate stated that the
cost of printing the book is given
to the lowest bidder. Funds for
the printing of the biennially
published reference come out of
the legislative appropriations to
the council.
State Legislature
To Consider Oath
The controversial loyalty oath
question is becoming more and
more of a problem to the educa
tional leaders of our country.
In California recently, ten stu
dent non-signers picketed the
administration building of the
University of California. This ac
tion was prompted by the firing
of the student non-signers by the
University.
Many of them depended upon
their jobs as their only means of
support. These students would
not sign because, they stated,
"the oath was a violation of the
tradition of academic freedom in
the United States."
The problem is also becoming
prevalent on the University cam
pus. A bill, proposed by Sen. W.
J. Williams, was recently set be
fore the legislature. It would re
quire college .university, and
nublic school teachers, as well
i as county officers and employees.
to sign a paper declaring loy
alty to the constitution of the
U. S. and Nebraska.
This oath is intended to deter
mine communists and non-communists,
but it is feared that the
same situation as California's
might arise in Nebraska if the
bill is Dassed.

Dr. Marvin Baker Returns
From 'Land Down Under'
Dr. Marvel L. Baker, associ
ate director of the University
Agriculture Experiment stations
tions, is back at his post after a
three-month trip to Australia,
New Zealand and certain islands
in the Pacific.
While in the "land down un
der" he directed several films
on Australian and New Zealand
agriculture which will be avail
able to the public soon.
Dr. Baker said Australia and
New Zealand both recognize the
importance of acting with the
United States in world matters
involving the Pacific. Australia,
he said, is quite aware of its
exposed position with the spread
of Asiatic influence and no
longer can depend on Great Brit
ain for effective aid.
Wishful Thinking
The Nebraskan said he found
"a lot of wishful thinking" about
the present situation in Asia. He
talked to government officials,
researchers, agricultural exten
sion people and farmers and
stockmen.
Especially in government cir
cles, he said, there are people
who still are reluctant to con
sider Red China as an aggressor
in Korea.
Dr. Baker said he believes
that organized labor in Australia
is less friendly to the United
States than other segments of the
population. There is still nl sign,
he added, that labor intends to

Labor Majority
Although the government has
changed from a labor regime
to liberal, labor still has a ma
jority in the senate. Dr. Baker
said he has the impression com
munist influence is generally
credited with being quite strong
in organized labor in Australia.
Many Australians, Dr. Baker
said, still appreciate the help of
the United States in protecting
the continent from invasion by
the Japanese in 1942.
The Nebraska researcher said
several separate movies will
come out of his trip down under. .
These include films on cattle
production in general, dairy pro
duction, wheat production
and marketing, the pro
duction of grass finished cattle,
the pasture program in New
Zealand, sheep production, scenic
Australia and New Zealand, one
of the Fiji Islands and perhaps
a short one on aboriginal life in
Australia.
