Shrubs suitable for garden protection are Caragana, Common Chokecherry, Spirea Van lloutte, Buffalo Berry, Cotoneast-er, Tamarix and Persian Lilac. A rather close spacing 2 to 5 feet in the row is advisable for shrubs of this kind. Denmark held in the United States, except on authority of the Treasury Department.

The object of that order is to prevent residents of Norway and Denmark from losing their holdings on this side of the Atlantic. Our country has become the depository of the wealth of millions of people in foreign countries. The flow of this money into the vaults of our banks started long before war seemed likely.

Karl Stefan Complaints have been received by this Congressional office that the Nebraska WPA cut for May is MOO and Iowa's cut is anly 1500 for the same month.

We are asked to expalin this. We discussed this matter at great length with the WPA administrators here at Washington the other day. The administrators were told that in Iowa the farmers harvested an of 50 bushels of corn per acre, while in Nebraska the corn yield was only about 10 bushels per acre, and that in the distribution of relief funds, Nebraska should be given special attention until another crop was harvested. The administration here agreed with this argument and said that special attention is being given to our state. In comparing the educations in employment to be made in Nebraska and Iowa during May, it is stated that on September 27, 1938, 19,818 workers were employed in Iowa, as compared with 19,701 on projects in Nebraska.

In November, 1939, an authorization for 5,000 adidtional workers was granted to Nebraska because of the severe agricultuhe conditions. The number of people employed in Nebraska increased to on February 21, 1940. At that time 26,191 workers were employed in Iowa, which was 5,102 less than Nebraska. During March and April, project employment in both Iowa and Nebraska decreased because of the release of workers under separate authorization given to the drouth sections of our state. On March 22, 1910, authorization was given to the State WPA Administration for Nebraska to defer a portion of the employment reduction for April until May 1.

That deferred portion was 930 workers, and the reason for that action was primarily due to the severe weather conditions during January February and March which existed in Nebraska and which caused workers to lose an excessive amount of earnings, and which resulted in undue hardship. The administrators here believe that Nebraska has received fair treatment in the distribution of employment, but they admit that there are man men in Nebraska who are still out of a job and who cannot be taken care of at this time, due to the lack of funds. Until additional money is available, the administrators are unable to issue any additions in any state. Chairman of the committees are mighty powerful. As the time nears for the two national conventions, adjournment early in June is probable, but it will mean the failure to even take up some very important pieces of legislation in the two houses.

A windbreak gives good protection for a distance of approximately ten times its height and some protection for a greater distance. A small garden 40 or 50 feet square may be benefited materially by fastening strips of burlap to the fence or weaving cornstalks or branches close together in a woven wire fence on the south and west. A picket snowfence also serves the purpose very well. Two or three rows of corn or tall-growing sorghums make satisfactory temporary windbreaks.

The growth of population in various states will be reflected in the membership of the House of Representatives. Now ten of the 48 states have a majority of the House membership. It is quite likely that under the new apportionment only nine states will have the majority. Among the states which may have the greatest gains will be New York New Jersey, California, Michigan, Illinois and Texas. California expects the census to show a gain of one and a half milions in the number of peope in that state, in-cuding about 500,000 former eastern farmer people who have gone there to seek employment.

Texas which has had new oil fields and industries to augment its growth, may be the next in gains.

And it is important to every citizen that this licensed privilege not be abased.

To safeguard this privilege, the Nebraska Brewers and Beer Distributors Committee employs a field representative to make reports on the operation of retail beer outlets. These reports show that the great majority of establishments are operated in the public interest. Only a few abuse their licenses, thereby jeopardizing the states annual tax revenue of approximately $500,000 and the nearly $2,000,000 in Nebraska wages derived from the manufacture and sale of beer every year. The brewing industry will continue to cooperate with the legal authorities to weed oat these few and thus keep beer retailing as wholesome as beer itself.
