Two Issues Shape Western Nebraska Politics Near Primaries
In the Nebraska panhandle two main issues drive voter views as primaries approach. Should the federal farm board be continued or abolished, and should Nebraska grant tax exemption on gasoline for farming machinery. Strong local groups push both causes, with Farm Board opponents organized by co operatives and independents and the gas tax exemption movement led by the Nebraska Gas Tax Exemption Association. Burke and Steele mobilize western counties Morrill Cheyenne Kimball and Box Butte to back a large state meeting at North Platte to map a statewide strategy.

Cold Rains In West Seen As Pest Deterrent
Nebraska expert Prof M H Swenk reports that several days of cold rains in May and June may kill many young grasshoppers but cannot be relied on to reduce their numbers alone. He notes Rocky Mountain grasshoppers declined from heavy spring and early summer rains as seen in the 1870s. Swenk cites that young grasshoppers survive 24 hours at 19 degrees and tolerate 113 to 116 degree heat, with unlikely extremes during the growing season.
