Farmers in this area must file annual earnings reports for their farm workers with the District Director of Internal Revenue by January 31, 1968.

Wheat Is OK Report Says in Nebraska
The Department of Agriculture reports winter wheat in Nebraska is in good shape with good snow cover in some areas. Panhandle fields are largely blown clean while snow in stubble areas ranges from three inches to nearly a foot, helping the ground for spring work. Warmer weather has reduced the hard crust and caused thawing.
