Passage of the cable control act, placing control of cable landings under the president. These are the principal , accom plishments, although many other laws of less importance were enact ed. Many others failed of passage. Much Still Remains. So much for the work done thus far, bnt what remains -to be done before the republicans can feel measurably-safe in going- to the coun try next November? "Uncle Mose" Kinkaid. dean of the Nebraska delegation in congress, and the esteemed representative from the "Big-" Sixth." says that it is vitally necessary that-fegislation .should--be enacted .to life the burdens of those who irrigate the 'lands, particularly in Ills' district. "With prices gone to smash," he saia, "the farmers on the irrigation ditches in my district are facing bankruptcy unless something is done for them in the way of an e ten sion of time in which to pay their water charges, maintenance and up keen. "With high freight rates and low prices tor farm products the peo pie. of mv district, and there are none braver in facing present con ditions, want temporary relief from the law's exactions with reference to water uses, and the congress should not begrudge their demands." Then agem, legislation should be enacted that would permit great irri gation operations to be undertaken tor. after all is said, that nation lb haooiest where the farmer is con tented, the farm being the founda tion of our prosperity." "The work accomplished by the C7th congress thus far is far and beyond any previous achievement by any congress in our nistory, cut much remains to-be done. Greater Achievements Expected -"Having faith in the president, in his wisdom and vision, and faith :n onf leaders, 1 look forward win hope to bigger achievements during the remaining months of the present session." In reviewing the work of the spe cial session-Judge Robert E. Evans, representative from . the .Third dis-. trict, said:.. "In the past the farmer has,, as .a. rule, received only what remained. Many time9 nothing re- mamed, after interests" had taken. not their share, but what they claim ed as their share. This is true wilh reference to legislation as well as to sharing ' in-the-. profits ..flowing-, from our .country s various activities. "At "present, the- banker,- the- mer chai$,i;the Manufacturers, the car-riejY--all..hisist on their, earnings with a profit- added,.. hence, the net re sult .to the farmer,' is. hothinjf. "In a legislative way the farmer J never before secured such liberal recognition as in the special session of the 68tji congress. Agriculture, in common with all other interests, benefited by the budget act, the peace resolution, the veterans' - bu reau act, the maternity act and the revenue act, and " many other acts passed at the special session. "The war finance agricultural act i now furnishing to- the farm the funds, without which there seemed no escape from an impending finan cial disaster. Loans Aid Farmer. - "The deposit of $25,000,000 to the credit of the farm loan board has added materially, to the fundi avail able for agriculture's need. The emergency tariff enacted by the Sixty-sixth congress was extended by the Sixty-seventh conaress. This tariff act had already, brought relief j effects need no mention except to say that benefits heretofore felt are carried alontr in new authorizations. The packer act is legislation long looked for and, while not drastic its terms, still places governmental authority so that abuses hereto-fore complained of may be controlled and corrected. 1 he gram tradingr meas ure in a similar way will 'control the abuses in the grain markets.. If. had been in force during the recent months certain wealthy grain mer- cnants might not have sold "short to the extent they did and so depressed the market or, if they had. done so, the secretary of agriculture- could have made his authority under the act felt. I he Edge export act ha not as yet furnished the relief that some expected, but with foreig rates of exchange as it is, but little money to buy with, and but a small amount of goods for export, Euro pean countries cannot be large pur- cnasers until they have further ad vanced toward prewar conditions, 'Another act that will do much for the farmer is the revenue act. The farmer is usually a man of fam ily, with an income measured in the lower brackets. To such, the ex emption is raised to $2,500 and ad ditional amounts for dependents. When you have passed these ex cmptions you commence with addi tional reductions . at $1,000 on $6,000 income and from thence up, . Costs Investigated. "Another valuable work of the special session is that of the Joint agricultural commission.- its- work overed the present Ifgriculturil coa litions, causes . of ; difference be tween price to producer, and tost to the consumer of agricultural prod ucts. 'The recent deficiency appropria lion bill provided a fund to continue the payment for tuberculosis in condemned stock. There isr still more, legislation being considered which, when completed, will remove other existing inequalities working to the disadvantage of those ort, the farm. It may well be said, as we look over the work of the sixty seventh congress, so far as it ha: progressed, that agriculture h com ing into at least a portion of its own." Congressman M. O. McLaughlin of the Fourth district, a leading member of the house committee on agriculture, who has . given farm subjects a vast amount of careful attention, said as to the legislation enacted for the relief of the farrner "One of the most hopeful omens tor the future development and prosperity ot agriculture is the nub licity that is being given the activi ties . of the farm bureau movement by the country press. "I' have been gratified to observe in recent months .that -the- most prominent space in many - of the country papers of - Nebraska is regularly set aside for publications of farm bureau notes. This prac tice has great educational-; value and is a mighty factor in the 'growth of the organization. I have been con vinced for many years that the va rious farm' organizations '"of the country will not achieve the econom ic ends toward which-' they - are striving until they" get' together in one united and gigantic movement Recent developments warrant one in expressing the hope that this long-, ten, need may finally be - realized through the American Farm Bureau federation. : ' r More Help Promised. V "Congress has hdeavored, to do everything within ,'ifsipower, from the legislative viewpoint, in an effort to assist the farmers - during the present crisis. Additional funds have been funished through the medium of the federal land banks. - A bil lion and a half f credit . lias been provided through the War Finance corporation, a liberal portion of which is ' now being furnished to Nebraska... The grain futures law, and the law regulating the packing industries were passed in the hope of, Stimulating the prices of grain and livestock and stabilizing the market. Co-operative farm organizations have been exempted from the opera tion of the antitrust laws in an effort to encourage co-operative marketing. "The Joint Agriculture 'commis sion will have some -definite, recom- mendations to make concerning ad ditional legislation in the near future and the subcommittee of the com mittee on agriculture of the house is Lincoln, 'Dec. 31." Agitation for' a eduction in ' the 'corn.' acreage of Nebraska next year will omc in. for. attention during" the meeting here of the Nebraska Crop Growers', as sociation, the association having den cided to. devote the morning jai January-2. to thi'i-and related -subjects.

Now that grain prices are Iqw the farmer is more willing to consider seeding some of that land back to pasture of hay crops, the letter adds, and the Tuesday session of the as sociation will be devoted to discus sion of this problem. Curtail Corn Acreage. North Platte, Neb., Dec. 31. (Special.) Few farmers in Lincoln county win curtail ineir acreage o. corn in 1922. In thi county practi cally, all corn grown is fed, and as a result local demand is strong and "feeders are paying 35 cents a bushel. Ihis is i(j cents above the price that could be paid if bought for ship ment to the Omaha market. Many of the farmers are holding their corn for a 50-cent market. '.. Opposed to Reduction. Denison, la., Dec 31. (Special.) Jacob Wiess, owner of four Jargc farms near here, which he 'and his sons operate, has the following to say concerning the plan to reduce the acreage of corn unlesf prices increase to a point where they will pay expense of production. My attention has been called to the advice given by some of the lead ers of agricultural thought, that the pqce of corn will be increased if the farmers have less acreage tor the coming season, for my part, 1 do not favor such action. From my in formation based on conversation with many farmers I do not think any in this locality expect to plant less corn than usual next spring. Therei is no wav to determine just what the r.ron-nf the next vear will be No rain, hot winds, early frost, bad huskinc conditions, make it uncer tain just how much corn win De produced from a given number of acres. I mean to plant all the corn my ground will accommodate," bear ing in inind the rotation of crops. To my mind it would be wrong for farmers to plan to cut down the food upply of the world when there are so many starving. 1 m Outlet for Lakes Favored by Engineers Telephone Surcharge Continuance Granted (Continued From Fag On.) not accent the proposition without giving it more careful consideration." .

His arguments follow closely cer tain suggestions and recommenda tion made by President Hardirtg, 'n his message to congress, notably with reference to the American mer chant marine. In 'this connection. Representative Nelson said: "Our interest should not be con fined to making appropriations for improveiAents of rivers and harbors, but that other and more -drastic remedies should be applied to ef fect a better distribution of com merce through the ports o' the country, to the end that we may be freed, in' part at least, frofn the tremendous burdens that havi been placed upon our commerce Because we -have permitted the continuance of conditions which have fore foreign tnusmcss ot the-co' largely- thrpugh the 'archaic' p New-York. i 'We now have a large meri marine and we must establish t tions which will enable the v ot our commercial fleet to opo proiitaMy, not only at the por New York, but at every port of. the country ; which constitutes a logical outlet for traffic.

The new silver dollar of the 1921 design the peace dpllar will be ready for dis tribution Tuesday, it was said toda at the treasury.

This is the first change In the design of the dollar since 1878, officials said, and will re- j main as the design of the dollar for! 25 years, unless changed by legis lation. Ahout 500,000 of the new dollars probably will be coined with the date of 1921, and after that the dollar will carry date of the year in which it was struck off. Efforts arc being made, it was explained, to complete the coinage of at least half a million of the new dollars with the 1921 date in order to avoid a scarcity of the coin, which would result in a premium being placed .upon them by numismatists. There will be in all about 180.000.- 000 dollars of the new design coined, officials, 6ay. Coinage of silver dol lars ceased in 1904, it was explained, when the silver purchases authorized by the Sherman act had beeen com pleted, but it was resumed again in February of this year when the pur chase of silver vas begun under the Pittman act to replace the dollars melted and sold to the British gov ernment during the war.
