In explaining some OF the impor-

more. an authority on horses and
bitches, says that when the hitch Is
made at the center OF draft the plow
pulls with less cxcrtion than when
the hitch is made at a point more
distant from the furrow. He says
that whenever three or more horses
are hitched abreast. with one horse
in the furrow and the rest on solid

vicinity OF kearney and Grand
Island. which reasonably may be
expected TO be extended 10 other
localities. says the state bureau OF
markets and crop estimates.
The bulk OF Nebfaska's potato
production. believed TO be one OF the
most fascinating industries OF the

western, south central and north
central districts.
"The development OF the potato
industry is by no means limited to

the entire Platte valley will eventu-
ally grow potatoes in commercial
quantities. while the Kelley well
already has made double yields pos
sible over considerably wider area.
Nebraska seed potatoes have
proven their superiority over all COM
petiiors for high, yielding, qualities
and freedom from disease. and with.
in two years, the two seed potato
growing districts designated as the
kimball and Pine Ridge districts,
have established cnviable rcpu,a-

"The compulsory seed law, the
first TO be passed by any state. is
partly responsible for healthy Ne
braska potatoes, as it requires as
sorting and grading OF each carlot
shipment originating in the state and
provide for inspection by the state
rof each shipment at the point OF

The development of storage ia
cilities also has proiitcd potato grow
ers and future development will
probably be along the line of CO..
operative track-sidc storage and To-
cal cold storage plants.
with more than 5000 Nebraska
farmers selling potatoes each year,
and with 40 to 50 per cent OF the
crop going to market, the impor-
tance of the industry at present is
at once apparent. and rightfully takes
its place as being one Of the states
fascinating industries of the future"

10 do what T. c. Allen of Dixon,
Wyo., has DONE" said President Os-
borne as he signed his name to a
charter. Wyoming is under the jur-
isdiction of the Nebraska union. Mr..
Allen learned of our organization and
its work and wrote to US for per-
mission to organize a local in his
neigbborhood. The request was grant
ed, he organizeH the local, and here
goes the charter. He has sent for
more supplies, saying that he wants

Announcement has been received
at Nebraska Farmers Union head
quarters of the forthcoming dedica-
ton by the mutual insurance compan-
les of the Kansas Farmers union Of
their new 100000 office building in
Salina early in May. There are two
of these companies, one insuring farm
buildings against fire, lighting and

crops against hail. The announcement
says that these companies have
saved their policyholders more than
$500000, and in addition have accum-
ulated reserves of nearly $500,000.
Law Changes Urged.
State President Osborn has re-
ceived letter from National Presi-
dent Barrett asking that all farmers
in Nebraska be urged to write their
congressman and senators to vote for
the extension of the loaning opera
tions of the War Finance corporation

it fixed in the present law. President
Barrett declares that unless the time
is extended great hardship will be
worked this fall upon farmers and
their cooperative marketing enter
prises. He also asks that farmers
jog up their congressman and sena-
tors on the Norbeck- King bill, which
provides for. permanent government
agency to supply credit to agriculture.
