inter Wheat
V
in State Shows
Better Condition
Report of State Department cf Agri
culture Shows Farm Wages and
Farm Rents Are Higher.
The condition of winter wheat is
S0',o as compared with 5 9 So a year
ago. The condition of rye is 73 7c
Farm wages and cash rents are high
er says the State and Federal Divi
sion of Agricultural Statistics. Farm
stocks cf wheat are higher, stocks of
corn are somewhat lower and stocks
of oats much lower than last year.
The condition of wheat is SO 7c
and the forecast of production is 41,
190,000 bushels as compared with
25,504,000 bushels last year. Since
tiie abandonment is small compared
v.ith the extremely heavy abandon
ment last year, the expected acreage
for harvest is much larger than last
year's harvested acieage. The condi
tion is quite satisfactory in the Pan
handle counties and east central and
s. aatern sections. The condition
is not as good in the central, south
cetral and southwestern sections and
most of the abandonment will
confined to those districts. Reports
are not favorable in north central or
northeastern Nebraska but very lit
tle wheat is grown there.
The snows have been light, but
crop correspondents report consider
able moisture in part of the counties.
A good general rain is needed. The
condition of rye is 73 7c. Much of the
rye is grown in north central Ne
braska and the condition is low in
that section. The condition of pas
ture is 72 7 - There is enough mois
ture to start the pastures, but more
moisture is needed to bring the grass
cut rapidly..
About 33 7o o? last year's wheat
crop, 50 7o of the corn and 52 7o of
last year's cat crop remains cn farms.
Owing to the small crop of wheat
last year, the absolute quantity of
wheat on farms is very small. The
supply of corn is quite large, but the
absolute quantity of oats is very
small due to the extremely poor crop
last year.
Crop correspondents report a
smaller proportion of land being rent
ed for cash, but that cash rents are
slightly higher. Farm land averaging
at $41. GO is bringing $2.30 cash ren
tal per acre. Plowland averaging at
$01.75 is bringing $3. CO rental per
acre. Pasture averaging $16.60 per
acre is renting for 90c per acre, ac
cording to average returns of crop
reporters.
Although farm wages are low,
they are higher than the wages given
a year ago. The average wage by
month with board is $20 as compared
with SIC. 5 5 a year ago. Farm wages
without board averages $28.75
against $25.00 a year ego. Farm
work per day with board averages
$1.10 against 85c a year ago and
without board $1.50 rer day against
51.20 a year ago- The season has
been quite favorable for farm work
and it is about up to normal for this
date. Owing to the large acreage con
tracted by the government from the
wheat and corn-hog programs, it is
expected that a considerable acreage
will be seeded to pasture crcps and
to soil building crops.
The condition of the wheat crop
cf the United States is 74.3 and
the indicated production is 491,793,
000 bushels as compared with last
year's crcp of 351,030,000. The con
dition cf rye is 63.S7c pasture
C7.17o early potatoes 75 and
peaches 73.7 7c Farm stocks of
wheat total 114.C47.000 or 21.7 Ti
of the crop. Stocks of corn 834.
337,000 or 41.2 of the crop. Stocks
of oats 71,339,000 or 37,.0 of
the crop.
HARRIED AT COURT HOUSE
Wednesday afternoon at the court
house occurred the marriage of Miss
Opal Whetsone and Howard J. Ken
nedy, both of Omaha. The marriage
lines were read by Judge A. H. Dux
bury in his impressive manner as he

young people. The ceremony was

Eian. foster parents of the bride.
Following the wedding the bridal

Omaha.
ATTEND DISTRICT MEETING
Rev. and Mrs. C. O. Troy were at
Fremont Wednesday where they at
tended the district meeting of the
Methodist church which has been in
session in that city for a short time.
The session was one of the greatest
interest and many cf the leading
problems cf the church were discuss
ed. The meeting brought encouraging
reports of the growth of the Meth
odist faith in this section of the
state.
Barberry Eradi-
tion Resumed
in Cass County
Representatives cf State Agricultural
Department Start Campaiga
to Eliminate Pest.
The campaign for the trauicaticn
of the common barberry is now on in
Cass county under the direction of
the state university and the workers
are preparing to clean up specimens
of this menace that will be found
over the country. Under the direction
of the supervisors Clarence Forbes
and Loui3 Knoflieek are now at work
to discover and destroy specimens of
the bush that may be found.
The state has prepared a very in
teresting outline cf the work and
which places it clearly in the minds
of the residents of the value of the
campaign that is being waged at this
time.
What Is It?
The barberry eradication campaign
is a systematic co-operative effort in
thirteen of the north-central states
to reduce losses from black stem rust.
Historical records show that for
centuries black stem rust has been
one of the greatest hazards of small
grain production. Scientific records
show that the disease spreads from
harmful barberry bushes to wheat,
oats, barley, and rye, and that bar
berry is primarily responsible for
starting the early epidemics of stem
rust in the north-central grain
growing states.
What Will Barberry
Eradication Accomplish ?
1. Destruction of the bush elimin
ates the stepping stone used by the
disease in transferring from the old
straw, stubble, and grasses of the
past year to the green growing grain
of the next year.
2. Every harmful barberry busb
that is destroyed means one less
source from which early destructive
stem rust epidemics may develop.
3. Barberry eradication will assist
in preventing sudden and disastrous
reductions in yields per acre and
quality of wheat, oats, barley, and
rye.
4. It further aids in safeguarding
the plant breeding program for im
provement of wheat, oats, barley, and
rye by eliminating the harmful bar
berry on which new parasitic strains
of the stem rust fungus originate.
5. Barberry eradication means low
ering the cost of producing grain
crops through increased yields per
acre and better quality grains after
the major cost of production has al
ready been incurred.
What Individuals Can Do
Each individual who carefully in
spects the property, on which he
lives, for harmful variety of bar
berry will greatly aid in ridding the
state of this rust-spreading shrub
within a comparatively short time.
Why Now?
The campaign to destroy harmful
rust-spreading barberry has greatly
reduced the number of these bushes
within the state. Those remaining
serve not only as sources of black
stem rust but produce seed3 from
which additional bushes will de
velop. To allow these bushes to re
seed will increase the rust hazard.
RETURNS TO ACTIVITIES
Miss Lillian Solomon, wtio lias for
the past several months been en
gaged in clerical work at the office
of the relief and -welfare depart
ments at the court house has been
able to resume her work. Miss Solo
mon was forced to take an enforced
vacation for some time and undergo
a minor foot operation but is now
improved so much that she was able
to resume her work at the court
house.

been
laden with largo heaps of;
"black snow," the dust and dirt!
swept from the fields over the county
by the storm of Tuesday and Yv'ca
nesday. In many places where the wind
had a sweep for long distances the
dust is piled up like a snowdrift and
i in several spots leaves only room for
the passage of one car or truck at a
time along the road.
The dry condition of the top soil
as well as the fact that some of the
fields had been worked, gave the wind
the opportunity of moving a great
deal of soil and depositing it along
the roadways.
Not only piling up in the roads but
the dust driven by the high wind
forced its way into the homo in the
city and country as well to the an
noyance of the householders.
ROUND UP FLOATERS
From Saturday's Pally
Last evening Officers Dave Pickrel
and Roy Stewart were notified that
a number of floaters were loafing in
the Burlington railroad yards ardj
accordingly made an investigation
and found four of them. The men
were not in a receptive mood for the
offer of the officers to give them;
lodging in the city jail but were;
brought up and placed in Eafe keep
ing for the night. The police make
every effort to round up the drifters
each night so that they will not prowl
over the city and cause annoyance
to the residents or perhaps commit
some offense.
