degerminated, Kindred corn pro-

ever having been a complaint Of
their ever having gotten out Of con-
dition. We desire the farmers to
know that there is absolutely no ques
ton on this point.
1t is on cable requests for corn
products from our Managing Direc-
tors in the Near East that this ap-
peal has been made to the farmers
of the Midwest. 1t is expected
that other food products will be ship
ped in the next few months.
Mr.. II. d. Lutte, Secretary Of the
Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation,
has, at our request agreed to coop
crate with the Near East Relief in
this appeal in very definite way.
() His Executive Committee of
the Nebraska Farm Bureau Fedora
ton has adopted resolution endors-
ing his offer to assist and expressing
approval and desire to cooperate in
this effort.
(2) He is sending letter to
every one of the forty-two County
Agricultural Agents in Nebraska,
asking them to put their shoulder be-
hind this appeal to the extent of
active cooperation in the securing
and sending Of this corn to us.
(3) Mr.. Lutte at our request will
act as an inspector or auditor in the
name of the farmers of Nebraska to
the extent that he will come to Omaha
and look over all the records in our
office as well as those of the Corn
Miller's, respecting corn contributed
by the good people of Nebraska. This
we desire as an assurance to the
farmers that their corn will go with
as much quickness and dispatch as
possible 70 these people who are suf-
fering the pangs Of starvation, and
we hope will save thousands of lives.
To those Of you who read this bull
letin we urge that you get in touch
with the other members of the Near
East Relief Committee in your coun-.
ty or locality, or, If there is no COM
mittee, that you get group of peo-
pie whom you know will be helpful,
call upon the County Agricultural
Agent, if there is one in your county,
and call in the Editors and Elevator
men of your community for con-
ference, and plan out how you can
Immediately or within the next three
or four weeks get together one or
more full cars of corn for this pu-
pose.
George p. Bissell at Central City
and the Merrick County Committee
have already called in their editors
and other citizens and are arranging
to ship several cars from Merrick
county. The T. B. Hord Elevators
have been made receiving stations.
Charles Ross from Washington
county, who is active from this coun-
ty, gives the suggestion that as there
are fourteen elevators in five towns
of the county and the chances are
that no one of the smaller towns can
collect n whole car of corn-there-
fore, one elevator in each town will
act as receiving station-to receive
and receipt for corn donated-then to
remit each day for corn received at
market price to Blair, where a like
amount of corn will be bought at the
Farmers Elevator Company until
there is enough to load car which
will be shipped to Omaha. This is a
practical plan where a whole car can
not be loaded at one elevator or COM
munity.
Hon. w. II. Thompson, Democrat
National Committeeman at Grand Is
land, is handling this appeal for Hall
county.
Perkins county with w. H. Grit

the situation.
At ioldredge in Phelps county ar,
rangement have already been smade

Elevators to handle this corn, and J.
M. Douglass is back of the movement.
Sidney in Cheyenne county is not
to be left behind and Rev. Samuel
Light, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church, is already moving in

ty Chairman Rev. Harry II. Pollard

elevator people and others and he to.
