Edward J. Wieland of the U S Veterans Bureau Omaha announces loans to veterans on Adjusted Service certificates after April 1 1927. Loans are secured by a veterans promissory note and the Adjusted Service certificate filed with the bureau as security.
The document details loan limits to the certificate value two years after issuance. Only named veterans may borrow. Identification can be via postmaster certification, Red Cross or veterans organization official, or a notary. Loans cover one year at six percent interest, with automatic annual principal reset if unpaid. Early payoff allowed, with $5 installments. Veterans should obtain forms from local postmasters then mail to the Omaha Regional Veterans Bureau with the Adjusted Service Certificate. Banks may still lend. $27,000,000 already issued by banks nationwide.
The Nebraska April crop report shows exceptionally good winter wheat, minimal abandonment expected, and excellent rye condition. Cash rents and farm wages are broadly unchanged from last year, with 91 percent condition marking one point above December’s 90 percent and well above the 77 percent average for this date.
Favorable moisture and a mild winter reduce winterkill losses. Wheat is thriving with a good start and soil fertility up from last year. Rye is about 90 to 92 percent, pasture at 75 percent, and tame hay prospects strong. Farm wages average around 2.20 to 2.90 per day with board. Cash rent averages 520 per cultivated acre and 120 for pasture, with wide regional variation. Statewide winter wheat at 85 percent, rye at 64 percent nationally.
Drill crews at the Willard oil well on the S Inch casing at 2916 feet encountered a soft shale layer that caved readily, jamming the bit for hours.

Geologist Harry Youngman, logging the well since spudding, returned from Denver and was on site Saturday.
