THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSPAY, OCT. 11, '1934: AS EVER RID DOWN STORE -BOUGHTEN Sird By HUGH A. FOGARTY OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 11.—Despite drought and damaged Crops u- tumn is bringing a golden harvest to Nebraska. Far from pessimisuc, farmers of the Cornhusker e turn from reports ‘that -they—are— “drought- stricken” to count more dollars than they have figured since 1930. One reliable private estimate, based on government crop figures and current market prices, places their total 1934 income at $144,235,- 000. There is no denying the extent of damage done by scorching winds and rainless weeks, but spectacular price increases, combined with added thrift and cash benefits under the government’s AAA program have assured Nebraska of a farm in- come approximately $12,000,000 more than than of 1933, $60,000,000 more than 1932 and $4,000,000 more than 1931. Retail Sales Increase In the cities, likewise, the pres- sure of flowing cash is being felt upturn in purchasing power. \ A spokesman for Omaha retail- ers, for example, reports an in- crease in retail sales here during the first seven months of $23,000 000 over the same period last year; Dmaha bank clearings in August showed an increase of $26,197,198 over last August. Smaller communi- ties report corresponding gains. Newspapers have been devoting| considerable space in recent weeks | to discounting any impression that Nebraska is “on the ropes.” Hay Down, Price Up The farmer, they argue, is well mhead in the long run even though his crops—in some instances—are rreatly reduced by lack of moisture. Belling prices of the things he rais- es have increased during recent months between 50 to 100 per cent over last year's prices. Hay production, for instance, has been reduced greatly, but hay worth three or four dollars a ton! Jast year is selling at $17 in Lhe', stack. Wheat, corn, hogs, cattle, chickens, milk, bufterfat, eggs and all the other farm commodities tell the same story of reduced volume but increased value. In addition to getting higher prices for the hogs they raise, thel farmers are receiving AAA checks for the hogs they didn’t raise. Bene- fit checks, under the corn-hog plan, will total $30,000000 in the state. ‘Wheat benefits will total $5,759,000. | Other government agencies, too, are contributing to Nebraska's larg- er income. The farm credit ad- miinistrationy is reducing interest rates on farm loans. The Public ‘Works Administration is in process of spending $30,000,000 in the state. The FERA has spent more than $12,000,000 heére prior to Sep- tember 1.

My'Beauty Hint ARLENE JACKSO Every night remove make-up with tepid water and soap. Then apply a good, tissue-building cream, leaving it on overnight. Nebraska farmers watched anxious- ly through the summer for signs of rain clouds. Appreciating the enor- they utilized everything on the as reliable indicators point t0 an farm but the pig's squeal. Cows that a year ago were out on pasture —largely unattended— this year were fed on corn and every quart of cream was saved to sell, On thousands of Nebraska farms, trench silos were dug and tons of corn stalks, left to rot in the field in former years, were piled in; theyll be valuable stock feed during the winter. e DR.
