These are the principal , accom

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,

"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.
Ways and "means of. reorganiratiug;
the farm business to meet -the change
ed economic conditions also, will be
discussed; The viewpoints from the
eastern, central and western sec
tions of the state will be analyzed
by prominent farmers in each por
"During the war, farmers were
urged to increase the quantity of
foodstuffs, added to which was the
lure of high prices for grain," says
a letter "from the association. "This
led many farmers to break up and
cultivate; rough. land that was unfit
ior cuuivanomor any icngin oi nine.
Other land not-Quite so rough has
been tinder cultivation for so long
that, erosion "'finally has gotten the
best of it":.
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

farmers to plan to cut down the food

so many starving.

Advocated by President.
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

'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 great port of
Norfolk, whose natural advanta- os
are. unsurpassed, has been a victim
of oui lack of transportation-policy
devised in the interests of the coun
try as a whole. Likewise the great
ports ot Boston, Charleston, Sa
vannah and Mobile have been unable
to take their true places as outlets
tor the territory logically tributary
to them because of our remissness
in allowing the powerful trunk lines
centering at New ork to control the
situation. . ,-.
"A Monumental Folly."? 1 '
. "We have committed a monumen
tal "folly in permitting the assem
bling at one port of the shipping
resources of a nation and for this
folly, we are now .bearing a burden
amounting to hundreds of millions
of dollars annually. Freight' which
