Nebraska Corn Is Yielding Up to Expectations Soil Ideal for Wheat—Heavy Movement of Lambs—Qual ity of Potatoes la. Good. By Associated Press. i.incoln, Nov. 11.—Corn yields are meeting previous expectations, but the quality is lower. There is a shortage of corn huskers in spite of the high wages offered. Soil conditions are ideal for wheat. The recent freeze in jured potatoes in western Nebraska. There was a heavy movement of lambs to feed yards during October. Losses of hogs from cholera are above usual. These are the leading features of a report on Nebraska agriculture issued by A. E. Anderson, United States De partment of Agriculture crops and livestock statistician. The report follows: “Nebraska corn yields are meeting preliminary estimates and may ex ceed them. The quality is fair, but could be improved greatly by high, drying winds. A number report loss from rot and mold. Corn harvesting lias made slow progress and the worj; is two weeks behind the usual stage or this date. There is a shortage of corn pickers, even at wages ranging from 3 to 8 cents per bushel and’ board. “Soil conditions for winter wheat rank with the best for this date. The season has also been favorable for the Hessian fly and some reports in dicate considerable infestation. "The recent freeze did considerable injury to potatoes in western Nebras ka. It is estimated that 25 per cent i .' the unharvested potatoes in the dry I ttiil sections were seriously in jure!. Approximately 20 pier cent of the crop was unharvested at the time of the freeze. Hoth yields and quality of the Red Triumph variety in the dry land counties are good, with the acreage about 30 per cent below that of last year. Yields from the irri gated sections are below last year, but the acreage is larger. "Shipments of lambs from 12 lead ng markets to Nebraska feeders dur ng the first three weeks of October showed a 23 pier cent increase over that of a year ago. Previous to this period receipts fell somewhat below that of last year. However, this is not a positive Indication of the extent of feeding operations because the direct movement is not Included. ".Movements of Stocker and feeder cattle into Nebraska from the 1? lead ing markets show a considerable re duction so far. However, the direct movement appears to be larger than usual and may make up for the re luged indirect movement. "Losses from hog cholera are larger than usual. Railroad forwardings of hogs Indicate a record run for the year, to date. Country demand for stock hogs Is good and Omaha mar ket records of weights do not Indi cate a heavy run of light weight hogs that some markets show. Statistical Information so far, indicates that Ne braska farmers are doing their share toward price stabilization by feeding a large share of the spilendld corn crop. Holt County Couple Are Wed Fifty Years O'Neill, Neb,, Nov. 11.—Mr. and Mrs. James A. Pinkerman, assisted by their 13 children, 32 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, and their sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, cel ebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage. Mr. Pinkerman and Miss ■Sarah Jane Roy were united Jn mar riage in Macon county. Missouri, a half century ago. pf their 14 chil dren, all but one, a son who died In youth, survive, and all but two of these with their children and grand children were in attendance at the golden anniversary observance. Mr. and Mrs. Pinkerman were pre sented a purse filled with gold pieces by their children, the presentation address being delivered by Rev/ George Longstaff. The 13 children of Mr. and Mrs. Pinkerman are James, Roy. John, Walter. William snd Ralph Pinkerman of Holt coun ty; Glen Pinkerman of Lincoln; Mrs. Chari* Phelps of 2515 Poppletan av enue, Omaha; Mrs. William Yosts of Lincoln; Miss Nellie Pinkerman of Denver. Colo.; Mrs. Harry Whitmer of O’Neill; Mrs. William Kemmer of Assumption, 111., and Mrs. Walter Spencer of Scottville, Holt county. Mr. and Mrs. Pinkerman are among the early settlers of Holt county, romlng to northeastern Holt county on March 22, 1882, and homesteading a portion of the larga and modern ranch they still possess and which now is managed by one of the sons Geneva Farmers Buy . Seven Cars of Cattle Geneva, Neb., Nov. 11.—Seven car loads of thoroughbred Heroford cat tle for feeding were shipped here from AJoore, Mont., this week. They were purchased by Clarence Wilson of Geneva and will be fattened by him, J. C. James and i^dward James. A car of Herefords from Montana was bought at Grand Island by H. II. Ogg. Other farmers who are In the cuttle business arc Hoy Miller and Wallace Chestnut, W'ho pur chased their stock at Thedford, Neb. Corn Yields 75 Bushels on Farm in Sheridan County Gordon, Neb., Nov. 4.—August Lowe, farmer living two miles from Gordon, has a field of corn making 75 bushels per acre. Mr. Lowe has en tered his field in the competition for the best acre In the Sheridan County Annual Corn show, and husked nut s m^sured acre, the corn weighing out 75®bushels. When It Is considered ’.hat this crop Is raised on land that Is valued at about $100 per acre, It will be seen that this section Is really making a far greater per cent on the Investment than many of the older rorti countries. The average yield n this locality will run 50 bushels or better. ** A barge Is operated by electricity • long one of the canals In England, with the use of an overhead trolley. The boat, fully laden, can make four milee an hour. Livestock Feeding Tests Completed at State University • _ -- - _____——————■——■ l.ot 1. Cattle fed by the college of agriculture of the University of Ne braska. on a dry lot. The feeding ra tion was corn ahd alfalfa and the cattle will net a profit of 44 cents when marketed. T.ot 2. These cattle, belonging to the college of agriculture, have been used in a feeding test just concluded. On a sudnn grass pasture with corn, and some alfalfa, they gained 391 pounds per head in 40 days and will market at a profit of $2.10. Hogs fol lowing will bring in a profit of $0.13. cently fed by the college of agricul ture as a part of a test, the feeders will lose $2.76 a head. The ration was corn and alfalfa fed to cattle pastured In sweet clover. Lot 3. These hogs, fed by the col lege of agriculture In a feed lot of growing alfalfa will return a profit of $1.31. They were fed for 120 days on a ration of corn and tankage, and the small amount of tankage fed meant a difference between profit and loss, as one group fed solely on corn and pastured on alfalfa, failed to make a profit. Schuyler Farmer Is User of Practical Methods By ROR’T. WORTHINGTON DAV1K. An unadulterated structure stands before you—a cornerib and granary •combined. A tractor is chugging per sistently away, while the monotonous roar of a corn sheller deadens the audibleness of lesser turmoil A scoop full of golden maize is suddenly thrust through an aperture and n, tufned as the ears glide or tumble down into the feeder; across the drive way ihe shelled corn descends into the bin. The machinery is in opera tion, but there is not a human, being in sight. At length a man steps from the cornerib, apparently to inspect the proficiency of his/efforts, and we nre privileged to meet W. A. -Cuba. Mr. Cuba is the proprietor of 225 acres of Nebraska soil, two miles west of Schuyler. The ability to manage his work and farm his entire acreage with only little help has come, he states, be cause of tile difficulties experienced in procuring hired hands and the im possibility of paying them the wages which they invariably demand. But he desires to place no unusual dis tinction upon his practical methods and insists that his sister, Kmily Cuba, deserves recognition for her wizardry exhibited in poultry raising. Hut there are numerous items of interest which designate Mr. Cuba to be a thorough agriculturist, and his sister's success with poultry would, perhaps, seem incomplete and less extensive, was his direct or Indirect assistance unavailable. Sticks to Corn. As every farmer will find the prac tice of certain processes to his choos ing, or closely related to that which he sometimes considers good fortune. Mr. Cuba's policies are his own, and he favors the marketing of corn along with wheat, and prefers not to gamble with hogs. Time, to his sfirrow, has proven the uncertainty of hog raising and often the inability to sell them at a profit, providing the other disappointments are avoided. He further *nd frankly discusses the risks feeders usually take, since a glutted hog market naturally low ers the price until both the value of the corn and the amount received for the hogs need to be itemized in ihe loss column. He also states that farmers who sell (heir </rn face the same fate, and it Is hard to discrimi nate precisely or even to adjust feed ing and crop growing as it should be, and must be, before a fair return for labor and investment can be expected. Hia procedure has been to keep hla corn until he feels that the summit has arrived, whicfi—in normal times —comes in the spring or early summer. It would be unwise, in Mr. Cuba's opinion, to guarantee a certain price for grain, for the reason that farm ers would Increase their acreage year after year, until it brought about congeatlon, and eventually they would need to bear further tax burdens, and In reality would he paying a portion of the fixed sum guaranteed for each bushel of grain. He believes In smaller acreages, not wholly as a pro tective measure, nor as a plan for improving agricultural conditions in general, but to decrease work by sowing more sweet olover, which is unsurpassed as a fertilizer and affords excellent pasture. This practice, he says, means more from every acre farmed, fewer acres farmed and less labor done. • Tractor Is Essential. Mr. Cuba is convinced that the y-actor has' come to stay, and has reached the degree of perfection where it is practical and reliable. His plowing, seeding and harvesting are done by a Moline tractor, and while horses are not dispensed with entirely, their importance to the farm er is lessening ns each year goes’by. He keeps 25 head of cattle, largely Shorthorns; does little milking, prob ably because, as he says, he was com pelled to follow this arduous work against his desire when he was a boy. Mr. Cuba loves trees—so tnuch. In truth, that he hales to cut down the dead ones, arid he has 15 acres of woodlamT on his farm. It should be the effort of every farmer, he thinks, lo plant a number of tr ee annual ly—for Me views only a trace of the original groves remaining and de plores the ultimate realization of bar renness unless forestration becomes general. It has been said that the farmers toll on an average of 31) days during the year, hut Mr. Cuba caifbot agree with this assertion. Thcr.ls an abundance hf work, such as repair ing buildings and getting up wood, Which keeps one busy throughout the winter. Ills faith bespeaks worth while achievements for the Nebraska Farm Bureau federation; muoh has been attained ahd more Is coming. He Is Interested in co-operative mar keting; however, he Is not sure that the door Is open. He believes the farmers will solve their own prob lems eventually, nnd gain their ends through the agency of organization. Umlly Cuba’s chickens are the pride of all who know them, Far her fame haa wafted Ilk* the winds o'er land and sea. Wonderful the glory1 that is given just to grow therr — Blast are they with merit and a prov en pedigree. There the incessant tumult in the hennery; a cackle, a flutter of wings and a fowl emerge-- from a nest box and alight,1* upon the straw strewn ground. Others con-regale about the seif feeder 1 fountain, and ft "in nnumerable nests heads are stretch ed forth as if to investigate the na ture of the intrusions A number of fowls stand or rest nonchalantly up on the roosts. -, BujVN'tw Equipment. This Is Kmlly Cuba's accredited flock of Rose Comb Brown Leghorns She has 200 hens, but is only begin ning and progressing slowly, she Im plies. expending much of the annual Income for n> w and mot e equipment. Her Investment constitutes that which is wholly derived from her vocation. It is one definite and log ical way to attain profitable results without financial risks. Her poultry structure i» familiarly known as the Nebraska type house, with windows taking up approxi mately one half of the foremost side, and fastened by hinges at the bot tom to keep the draft oft fowls dur ing cold weather. On the opposite side just beneath the eaves the ven tilation system is conspicuously and prudently arranged so that fresh air -- will enter above the roosts. Always keep the hens Indoors when winter romes, she advise*. However, they should get the benefit of out-ofdoor freshness, which is conveniently pos sible in this instance, and has con siderable to do with egg laying. The breeding 'pen is separate from the main section of the building Keep the best fowls for breeding pur poses, she states. Culling count* most, and through this practice sha has learned the secret of poultry raising, and has practically raised the standards of her flock until egg production has reached the maxi mum. Beginning in September and continuing until February she ships her eggs to New York City and re tails them at fancy figure, and dur ing these months when few hens are laying she gathers a daily average of Hi eggs. Home grown and home prepared feed is very satisfactory’, she has found through experience, and with the exception of oyster shells and tankage, her poultry rations are tak en from grain and vegetables grown on the farm. Wheat and oats may be fed regularly, while corn a* a ration is to he useif less frequently than the other grain, .She has two brooder houses which are heated and Ideally arranged. Car ing for little chicks is perhaps the most trying part of her occupation because it requires almost constant watchfulness and a thorough cognis ance of their needs. One may well lie proud of merit orious accomplishments, and Emily Cuba's smile suggested pride plus happiness. As each year goes she will continue on her forward march; she will enlarge her flock and en deavor to approach even higher standards, and there is no skyline in the eye* of such assiduous folk. As cension is constant hut dominated by the feeling that better and nobler things are nhead. __ Brr-rr!

Ili'13. This is written front Houston, sfttr s w« • k traveling over the state of Texas. Tits optimism manifested here is not surprising, for cotton lias advanced near ly 4 Petits a. pound within the last ]0 days and the state crop. estimated at 4.300,000 bales, will sell for at least $*J00, OOO.i oo, even aftei allowing for the de terioration In quality due to the hea^y rainfall Adding tc cotton the other crops grown her*-, the agricultural production of Texas this year will probably be worth about $1,000,000,000. If the value* of the cattle hogs, sheep, oil. coal and manu factured products of tb** state were in cluded the total would be much larger. The purchasing power of the commun ity la therefor#* great, and while the cat tle men and the oil men are complaining of the lew prise* the bankers admit that most frozen loans have been thawed out and that their resource* are now more liquid than they have teen for some >ea rs. A f*»w' of the more conservative are in fact fearful thvt the prevailing pros perity may lead to a revival of specu lation in land which is the favorite In vestment here. ,\* yet, however, there is no inditation tha' sui h fears are Jus tified and business throughout the south west appears to rest upon & very sound foundation. , Southern Hoad* Improved. The large expe iditure for roads and the spread of co-operative marketing are the two things by which the observant traveler In the south will be moat Im pressed. The good road mileage of the I'nlted States Is already equal to Its rail road mileage and it is being rapidly In creased. The cost of the roada now :.**ir.g built will probably average about $25.O(i0 a mile. This is about what our present railroads coat when they were <'instructed and we are therefore con fronting a development which Is quite as important m it* economic significance a* was the er.i of railroad building that ended about 30 -.ear« ago ft may be that the road building Is being overdone, but tnia is questionable, ana while it lag's it Is certain to provde work for many rn*»n and keep a iol of money in circulation. Co-Operative Marketing. The co-operative movement is hardly less important, for it Is not only eco nomically sound but it has b**»n of great educational value In that it has led farm ers to study commercial condition* and endeavor to adjust their production ac cordingly. For this reason an overpro duction of cotton i* unlikely in the fu ture. and while some ln< fas* in acreage next year may be expected, it will prob ably be smaller than nlany anticipate. Elections Are Ignored.

Nor ran any business -ignlficance be atta* hed to the result! of the elections in other parts of the country, through the pa«sage of a soldier* bonus in New York has strengthened the rather widespread feeling that f• der. f compensation cannot he defeated in the next congress and that President Coolidge will not stand against the popular Judgment France 1* Warned As for the Havarian revolt and the other alarming developments in Europe, they a e but the logical outcome of the ioum* which Franc* has pursued and as ‘■’jeh ha.e been foreseen !*y all thought f (il men for many months.

Its worst result, so far rsa the i f the world is that Hi) hope of an effectual reparations con ference is dashed, for with Germany on the erge of civil war and further French Intervention probable the eco nomists will have to retire to obscurity once mere The natural outcome wilt * further decline in the foreign ex change*. particularly the franc, concern ing w hi' h an able banker said last we*-* that "at the first sign that the French peasants are hesitating to trust their savings *o the government there is no telling where it will drop" Market i- Firm.
