Feed lot wastes
Livestockers fight on
Nebraska livestock
producers are making
significant strides in getting the
problem of handling livestock
waste under control, a
University Extension
agricultural engineer said this
week.
E. A. Olson said the number
of feeders involved in exploring
whether waste control systems
are needed for their lots,
developing plans for suitable
systems, is increasing. Progress
is encouraging, although much
remains to be done before the
deadline of December 31,
1972, set by the Nebraska
Water Pollution Control Act of
1967, Olson said.
As of late February, 62
livestock producers had
initiated plans for a waste
control system. Forty-nine of
these plans have been sent to
the Water Pollution Control
Council for approval and 41 of
these have been approved for
construction.
Government agencies,
working with the Council and
the Nebraska Livestock
Pollution Control Advisory
Committee, have developed a
streamlined procedure for
handling paper work on the
plans, and for getting Council
approval on proposed waste
control systems.
Waste control systems are
being planned for beef, dairy
and swine operations.
Producers who need waste
control systems can generally
get assistance from the Soil
Conservation Service on the
local level.
While there is no definite
information available regarding
the number of waste control
systems that will be needed, it
appears that approximately 48
percent of Nebraska feedlots
will need some modifications
for waste control.
This is based on a survey of
50 feedlots in 1970 by the
Breslow. . .

a mass transportation system,
Breslow said he doesn't know
what stand he'll take on
the busline problem..
THE CITY IS subsidizing
the busline company for up to
$25,000 to continue in
operation until Sept. 1. At that
time, the city must decide
whether to buy the lines.
Claiming that it could cost
the city $350,000 the first year
to operate the buslines,
Breslow said that no one knows
how much money the city can
afford to spend.
The candidate advocated
higher wages for the city's
police and firemen to reduce
the rapid turnover in personnel
in these departments.
BRESLOW SAID
ANOTHER campaign issue is
the concept of eminent
domain, where residents are
forced to move because of city
expansion, as with the
proposed Northeast Radial.
"The city should provide
relocation costs to families
forced to move, Breslow said.
"It's not fair otherwise," he
added,
Breslow said he's confident
he'll win a place in the May
general election and thrn step
up his campaign with limited
advertising.
''From all the
encouragement and support
. that's been offered me, I'll be a
city councilman on May 4," he
stated.

Council, which showed that in
24 percent of the lots, feedlot
waste runoff discharges into a
roadside ditch or onto other
property. Feedlot runoff
discharges into intermittent
streams from 1 8 per cent of the
lots, and on six per cent, the
runoff , flows directly into a
flowing steam.
While about half the
feedlots may need some
changes to meet provisions of
the act, steps needed to control
waste may be very simple in
some.
Definite information is
sketchy on the progress of
construction of facilities.
Considerable construction
activity is anticipated this
spring, however, since 27 of the
systems have been approved by
the Council since November 1,
1970.
In 1971 and 1972,
considerably more activity is
anticipated in this area.
Livestockmen who need waste
management facilities are
required by law to have them
completed and operational by
December 31, 1972. To
encourage activity, the
Nebraska Livestock Feeders
Association in their annual
1 970 meeting passed a
resolution advising feeders "to
begin instigating waste control
problems on their feedlots
immediately.

American male die and think how
heavily males pay for theij status, how
utterly patriarchy controls them," she
said.
To end this repressive system
Millett called for a radical change in
the relationship between the sexes.
This sexual revolution would mean an
end to the temperment, role and status
differences between the sexes which
are enforced by patriarchy. ,
PAST REFORMS have not been
radical enough, Millett said, they
didn't attack the roots of the
patriarchal system.
"I have come by degrees to believe
that the changes I want cannot occur
in the system as it is," the feminist
said.
