Potato Grading Causing
Big Waste Near Kearney
Kearney, Neb., Aug. 26. (Spe-cial,)-The
bulk of Kearney's mil
lion dollar potato crop is out of the
grounds many carloads having al
ready been shipped. The potatoes
are being graded in accordance with
the state law and are classified a
trifle better than A No. 1. This au
tomatically creates considerable
wastage, as rough potatoes are
barred, in addition to those passing
through a 1-inch mesh. It is es
timated the proportion of the un
marketable crop, particularly rough
potatoes which usually run to sire, is
from 20 to 35 bushels an acre. With
1,500 acres planted the wasteage is
between 30,000 and 45,000 bushels,
as there is nj market for these pota
toes. The average yield in this lo

(Banner Year For Farmers.
fn his remarks this afternoon
to the Farmers', union audience at
Friend,- Mr. McKelvie said:
"This will be a banner year for
Nbraska farmers. I have been over
the state a great deal and I have
never seen the prospects more fav
orable for a bumper crop. Aside
from th slight possibility of in
jury to the corn crop from frost,
the abundance of the yield is well
nigh assurred.
"Of course, it is gratifying to. the
farmer to have well-filled granaries
but this item of satisfaction is turned
to disappointment if prices are in
adequate to compensate him for his
labor and investment It is the pur
pose of organizations like yours to
join economical distribution vyith
production.
"Co-operation is undoubtedly the
avenue through which the farmer
will solve his problem of distribu
tion. It has been successful in every
quarter in which it has been intel
ligently tried and it has made great
progress in this state. Farmers' co
operative societies in Nebraska last
year did more than $125,000,000
worth of business. This gives some
idea of the extent to which the move
ment has gained headway here, but
it is only a suggestion of what re
mains yet to be accomplished.
Fifteen New Laws.
"The last state legislature recog
nized the importance of co-operation
in a most substantial way by placing
upon the statute books the most
comprehensive group of laws relat
ing to this subject that the state has
ever had. That session passed no
less than fifteen laws directly affect
ing the farming industry, and no
less than half of these had to do with
encouragement to co-operation.
"I think armers generally are com
ing to recognize the wide rang of
difference in principle between co
operation and other kinds- of pro
posed aid that may be given by the
state. Co-operation contemplates
private ownership of the farmer's
business and is diametrically op
posed in principle to the public own
ership of any of the agencies of dis
tribution. Indeed, I think it may be
safely said that when public owner
ship comes in at the doer, co-operation
goes out of the window. So,
if farmers believe in co-operation
and desire to cpntinu) to own their
properties privateiyj they will steer

HANLEY SEEKS
ASSISTANT TO
II. S. ATTORNEY
Prohibition Director Declares
Omaha Office Swamped by
Liquor and Narcotic
Cases.
Prohibition Director James H.
Hanley has recommended to Wash
ington the appointment of a special
assistant to United States Attorney
T. S. Allen to take care of the flood
-4Mjf . prohibition and narcotic cases
comroiuing tne ieparimeni oi
Justice in Nebraska.
MY Hanley's present recommenda
tion follows the nervous breakdown
of Assistant United States Attorney
Frank A. Peterson, who had charge
of the cases and whose present con
dition is said to have been brought
about largely by the vast amount of
work heaped on him in the prosecu
tion of violators of the prohibition
law.
"We cannot carry out the prohibi
tion laws as they should be unless
we have enough legal aid to handle
the prosecution," said Mr. Hanley
yesterday.
"A large number of-cases are pil
ing up and unless they are tried
within a reasonable time we will
lose our witnesses. We. cannot get
conviction of violators of the law
simply by arresting them.
"Decreased appropriations have
resulted in the shortage of attorneys
in the United States attorney's of
fice here and thrown not only all
the heavy business of the state, but
all of these prohibition cases as well,
on the shoulders of Mr. Allen and his
assistant, Mr. Peterson.
"This is simply more work than
two attorneys can handle.
"Since Mr. Peterson's breakdown
under the strain, I think some ac
tion to appoint an assistant is more
likely."
Mr. Hanlev said that when he came
through Chicago from the east re
cently he found more than 600 pro
hibition cases were piled up there
with no one to handle them.
Mr. Peterson should be able to
return to his duties in the federal
building within the next three
months, according to his physicians.
Apples Are Rotting
On Ground at Howells,
Report of Stockman
"While the people of Omaha and
suburbs are oavine from 5 to 8 cents
a pound for apples, the same kind of
apples can be. bought m the neigh
borhood of Howells for 2 cents a
pound and less," said Frank Zvacek
of Howells, who was a visitor at the
stock yards Thursday.
"In our locality there are dozens
of large apple orchards that are mak
ing a record yield this year. The ap
ples arc mostly of the late summer
variety and are unsuitable for win
ter storage - but good tor canning
purposes.
"At the present time thousands of
barrels of these apples are going to
waste, because there is no way of
marketing them at a profit, and
many farmers are feeding them to
their hogs. We can't afford to can
them as sugar in our neighborhood
is selling for 25 to 27 cents a pound.
"Anyone who wants apples can get
all they can carry away in truck or
wagon loads by coming after them.
Farmers have come to the conclu
sion there is no market value to the
crop and would rather give them
away them let them spoil."
Hemingford Potatoes to
Be Sold in the Fields
Hemingford, Neb., Aug. 26. (Spe
cial.) The potato crop from present
indications will be a large yield on
a greatly reduced acreage. The har
vest will begin about September 15
and indications are that most of the
potatoes will be sold from the fields
and not stored.
The early wheat is producing high
yields of an excellent quality. The
late wheat is showing considerable
rust and the yield will probably be
reduced between one-fourth and
one-third.
Box Butte county has a large
acreage of cor nail of which will
mature. There is about five times
the corn acreage this year of any
fcimer year, owing largely to the
large amount of new land under cul
tivation this spring and planted to
sod corn.
Alfalfa crops are heavier than any
year since 1915 and the acreage of
this crop is also very largely in
creased, many farmers having over
100 acres.
