NEBRASKA PICKS UP HOGS FROM KANSAS Call for Help From Sunflower Farmers Who Disliked Sell ing Immatnre Stock, Heard by Many. (From Staff Onrn-ipondent.) Lincoln. Aug. 25. (Special.) The State Board of Agriculture today is sued the following bulletin on the, situation as regards the deal between Nebraska corn ar.d Kansas hogs: "The work of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture in interesting Nebraska farmers in Kansas slioats, forced upon the market by the failure of Kansas' corn crop, is, indeed, grati tying. A worthy effort, it is said, nredst.no reward, but a reward has been had already in the success of this effort. "A short time ago Secretary E. R. Daniclson of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture received a let ter from Secretary J. C. Mohler of the Kansas State Board of Agricul ture stating that the Kansas corn crop was a failure and that Kansas hog men were soon to be forcetkto sell their young pigs. With the short age of food throughout the .country, it seemed a shame that this immature stuff should be placed upon the mar ketin fact, it had become imperative that it be matured that our supply of pork might not be lessened. He sug gested that perhaps the State Hoard of Agriculture in Nebraska might be able to interest some Nebraska farm- - ers in the matter and save these pigs. The whole thing was up to the neigh boring slates, he said states which had a good corn crop. "Immediately Secretary Daniclson started a publicity campaign through out the state, giving as wide notice to the maVlcr -as possible. All of the city dailies were interested and for several days colnn.ns of matter were run, "The result ha-: been a deluge of letters and telephone calls from over the state and they are still coining. Some Nchraskans have taken several carloads. Others have pooled to gether and sent in their orders. As fast as received the orders or requests for further information have been for warded to Secretary Mohler at To peka, Kan., where he has put all par tics in touch with the distressed kan suiis. "While many, many orders have been received, "let it not be thought that the work is all done. Kansas is one of the largest hog producing states we have and nothing short of a tremendous demand could relieve their distress. Farmers are urged to communicate with Secretary Mohler i at the earliest moment and get the! matter settled. It is a very! worthy effort and, let us add even more em phatically, it will be a very profitable one. ("We must save this pork, for we will need it before the year Is over. The whole thing is up to the farmers of Nebraska, and, judging-Jby their response to the first call, it wtlt be a ' big success." ,. - Kansas Oil Company Takes Lease on Nebraska Land (From a Staff Corrspondnt.)
