OMAHA, Nebr., October ls.-Re-

answer to the vote on the corn-hos
program of the A. A. A., as finally an
nounced here. It looks as though the
sentiment which has prevailed in
Kansas against the corn-hog program
has spread into this State.
In the recorded vote Of the Nebras-
ka farmers on the program it Is found
that 1882 signers Of the contract for
this year have voted for its .continu-
ance and 26,5s0 signers have voted
against 1t. This gave . E1eager ma
jority Of 742 for the program. Of
the non-signers. 2.l6S farmers voted
for the plan and s,sl4 voted no.
This brings the total vote against the
corn-hog program up to 36.l04 to
s.490 in favor of it for 1885.
But that Is not all. In the vote on
