A ball game between Bingham and
the "Xinejrar Hills" was held on the
Ellsworth diamond lat Sunday. The
Vinegar Hill scoring 13 to 7. .It was
advertised in the Ellsworth items that
the game was to be between Kllsworth
and the Vinegar Hills, but Kllsworth
oust have been riire of defeat, for
they refused to play until after the
Vinegar Hills played liingham, feel
ing sure that our boys would be no
played out that they woul dbe an easy
victim. The game had to be post
poned until next Sunday owing to the
rtareity of time, not ambition. The
Vinegar Hills beat them two games
and lost one. But unlike the Ellsworth
players they were good sports and
Mailing took defeat, even though both
umpires gave them a rotten decision
all the way through. But why shouldn't
they? The Vinegar Hills are mostly
ail boys while the majority of their
opponents claim to be experienced
league players.

Native Farmers Are
Now Tilling the Soil
in State of Nebraska
Four-fifths of all the farms in Ne
braska arc bring operated by white
.erns born in the United States, ac
cording to a conipilat on oi tederal
cemus statistics just made and given
ut by the state agriculture depart
l.icnt, says vhe Lincoln Star.
The government's returns t-how that
of the 124,421 farms within the bor
ders of this state, W,ii'J are being
managed and worked by native white
farmers. Theie are 21,f!: tracts oi
land in the bands of foreign-born
whites, many of whom have become
naturalized American citizens. The
remaining 377 farms are in the pos
session of Indians and negioees.
Why North Dakota fell such an easy
prey to the nonpartisan league is ex
plained by the census statistics in the
fact that it has a larger percentage of
foreign'Jfcorn among its rural popula
tion than any other statet in the
union. The percentage there is 4B.V
Nest after North Dakota come Minne
sota with 37.7; Connecticut with 33.7,
Washington w th fRp'o'-ma with
29.1, and Wisconsin with 28.5.
In the United States as a whole na
tive white farmers have increased
since 111 10, 3.1 per cent. Colored
farmers including Indians with ne
groes, have increased 3.2 per cent,
while foreign born white farmers have
decreased 13.2 per cent.
"The decreases in foreign born
farmers," says the bureau of census,
'was largely the result of the war on
account of which large numbers re
turned to their native countries . The
deneu.e in the number of Gorman
born farmers alone was M.14S."
The total number of foreign born
farmer-! in 1!20 was less than in 1110
by ..V2.
Th' !'o(007 colored farmers com
prised 1J;,2"7 r.egioe, Ui.213 Indians,
(I.SX'.t Japanese and (3S Ch'nee.
Nearly !'. per cent of the negro farm
ers are in .sixteen southern states.
The states showing the large.-t
numbor of Indian farmers are OkN
liuma with 5,301, New Mexico w't'i
1.KS3, North Dakota with 1,4 0 ui.d
South Dakota w'th 1.27".
The states with the largest number
of Japanese farmers are California
with 5,152, Washington with ''.i4, Col
orado with 321, and Odegon-with 224.
