The big gain made by Nebraska farmers in the past years was about equally divided between farm crops and animal products. The former jumped 3t million dollars and the latter 40 million dollars. States with intensive crop special ization notably Texas, with its enor- mous cotton yield, and Iowa, where corn is the big cash crop, outrank Nebraska in both volume and mono- tary equivalent of farm products, it is pointed out. The sou- e and backbone of Ne- hraska agri' ulture is in the fact that farmers there are not 'putting all their eggs in one basket." the fed- eral survey disclosing that income from animal products is still outrun- ning the value accorded farm pro - ducts.

AMERICAN EXPERTS SEE CLEAR SAILING But One Fly in Reparations Oint ment: Possible Bad Effect of the German Elections. Paris, April 18. A feeling of great satisfaction was voiced today by American experts, which recent ly reported on the financial and eco nomic situation in Germany, over the fact that the reparations commis sion had decided to proceed with the work preliminary to making effect ive the conclusions of the experts. 1 ney prenieiea tnat tnere now is clear sailing ahead. The only fly in the ointment, it was said, was the approaching Ger man elections and a possible return of members of the reichstag opposed to the experts' reorts. The experts who investigated Oermanv's situa tion in Berlin are convinced that the present reich govermnent is most willing to put the entire report into operation and force the present reichstag to ratify It, but they ap pear doubtful if the new reichstag is formed as present prospects Indi cate, it will be equally docile as they bel'eve the recently dissolved legis lative body would have been. The American exerts have come to the conclusion that there will be no trouble in floating in the United States the proposed $100,000,000 loan, a loan of $75,000,000 on the London market, with continental Eu rope absorbing another $25,000,000, "provided." as one of the Americans put it today, "they don't get the loan flotations mixed up with politics." The Americans take it for granted that Great Britain will make any commitments to Fracne regarding possible action in case Germany is shown to be in "wilful default" but they express confidence that if "such default occurs it will be so obvious that the whole world will be ranged on the side of the long-suffered allied creditors."
