"Speculators Trying To Starve the Stock," Says a County Agent Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 23. (Special.) Profiteering in hay by speculators is threatening to prevent the feed ing out of thousands of head of Ne braska cattle, according to informa tion reaching the extension service of the University of Nebraska col lege of agriculture. The high price will also compel the sale of many stock cattle in the drouth stricken section of the state. Eastern Ne braska county agricultural agents at tempting to buy hay in the western part of the state have found the sup ply cornered by speculators. These profiteers are asking $25 a ton for alfalfa. Farmers of eastern Nebras ka say they cannot pay such a price and they plan to sell their cattle without fattening. Farmers of Seward county sent their agricultural agent, H. P. Rig don, on a hay buying tour. He trav eled 1,000 miles by automobile ajid visited seven counties. Four other counties in the drouth stricken belt of the state sent men west. All had the same experience. Where specu lators have not actually bought up the hay they have excited the farm ers into holding for, an exhorbitanl price. The cheapest alfalfa found was at Stratton $22 a ton. At Hairier and Sanborn $27.50 a ton was asked. In Dawson county, thousands of tons are in the hands of speculators and are being held for $25 a ton. The .a.eents succeeded in buying a little wild hay for $21 a ton. ; "Speculators are trying to starve the stock in our county," wrote one county agricultural agent. "If hay cannot be purchased so it can be fed without too great a loss the fanners arc going to ship their stock out." Stapleton Man Murdered By Nineteen-Year-Old Boy Stapleton, Neb., Oct 23.
