Nebraska was admitted into the Union on March 1, 1M57. On that date the state contained less than l(!(),U)l) inhabitants and these were confined to a comparitively narrow strip border ing on the Missouri river. Then the territory now known as Nebraska was known as "The Great American Desert" is a fast fading memory, and nowhere in all the world is nreseiited such a spectacle of prosperity and de velopment as that presented by the giant young state carved out of the heart of the desert. In the short space of forty-two years there has. heen imileleel inwith the confines of Nebrsaka an aericultural mid in dustrial empire that is at once 1 lie won der and the admiration' of the world. One hundred and sixtv thousand farms. Four thousand industrial! plants. Sjx thousand milesj of4 railroad. The third largest nackinc center in the world. The second largest! smelter in the world. The largest creamery in the world. The largest permanent school fund of any state in the Union, The seventh largest state univer sity. These are some of the big things possessed by Nebrasa a state less than halt a century old, and which less than halloa century ago was desig nated upon the map of the world as "The Great American Desert." The total agricultural, dairy and in dustrial products of Nebraska in HiO'J wero worth $050,000,000.

The total tobacco crop of the nation in 1909 lacked 522,000,000 of being worth as much as Nebraska's corn crop. NEAL INSTITUTE IS , GROWING 'RAPIDLY.

Bruce, treasurer, of the Neal Institute of the United States is preparingo open institutes in Chi cago and Springfield. He now has institute's in Omaha, Sioux City and Davenport in addition to the one in Des Moines. Concerning the japid territorial expansion of the cenmnnv. he said toelay: "The entire territory of the United States has been practically disposed of to men of high character and abil ity, bue'ked by ample means, and in stitute's have already been opened and are in operation in the fellowing points: New York City, Buffalo, Cincinnatti, Minneapolis, Superior, Wis., Springfield and St Louis, Mo., Topeka, Kan., Omaha, Neb., Indian ajiolis, Ind., Des Moines, Sioux City and Davenport, la., Sioux Falls, S. D., Fargo, N. D., Denver, Colo., Al buqucrquc, N. M., San Francisco, with institutes being established that will be opened in a short time at Los Angeles, Portland, Oreg., Seattle, and Spokane, Waah., Fort Worth and Galveston, Tex., New Orleans, Mem phis, Tenn., Atlanta, Ga., Colum bus and Cleveland, O., Detroit, Chi cago and SpringficI, 111., Kansas City, Mo., Pittsburg and Philadelphia, Bal timore, Md., and Boston, Mass. "The facts are that all the territory of the United States has been con tracted for except Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Delaware, District ofCoiumbia, the two Virginias, -the two Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Mis issippi, Arkansas, Arizona, Utah, Ne vada, Wyomi ng, Idaho, Montana and we have negotiation uendine in all of these states, which w ill prob ably result in deals being closed. "Each of the institutes nlreadv opened is backed by strong men, and all are in fine buildings, and all have done a splemljd business from the start. . "The Cinrinnatti institute opened on Walnut Hills in a fine resident fcic tion of the city, had nine patients, the first nine days, and the third week had the iustutite, which has aceon. meielations for seventeen patients, full to its capacity.

Fifteen years ago dairying was prac tically unknown in Nebraska. A few little creameries were scattered here and there, but they affordeel no in elucements to the farmers 'to engage in the dairying industry. With the development uf the modern methods Nebraska steps into the front rank ef dairying states. In 1909 there was over 32,500 hand separators in Ne braska, separating the milk from 540,000 milch cows. From the cream thus separated was manufactured up wards of 50,000,000 pounds of the finest butter in the world. Nebraska is1 the greatest alfalfa To the homeseeker Nebraska offers unparallele'd advantages and oppor tunities. Fertile farm lands in the west central anelfnorthwcstern and west -rn paits of the state may l e bought for from.?20 to J50 an acre, on the most liberal terms of payment. Land in the older settled naits of the state sells forniore, of course, but it is a bar gain at any puce.
