()8-Acre Field of Wheat Yields •$3,200 Profit Average Production of 45 Bushels on Farm Near Wymore Best Record in Gage County. 4 * Wymore, Neb., July 30.—On the i i'm operated by Rudolph Husa, about live miles southeast of Wymore, a #8-acre field of wheat, where thresh ing has just been completed, returned 4.420 bushels of grain, an average of tlightly over 45 bushels an acre. All reports of higher yields in Gage coun ty have been on .much smaller fields. The Husa. land lies near the Blue river, being second bottom land, be tween farms owned by James Marek and C. B. Rodgers. It is one of the fields which was covered with a heavy crop of wheat, ready for harvesting, last year, when jhe terrific hall storm of July first, Chopped it completely to the ground, ihreshed the wheat, pounded it into the ground, and chopped up the Straw. Last fall the field came up green from the seed the hall planted. This was not allowed to stand, how ever, Husa plowing it, with the chopped up straw, under in the fall, and sowing new seed. While the con dition and fertility of the ground, and the kind of seed, had considerable to do with the unusual yield of this field this year. It Is claimed that the per fect season Is what made It, rather than any effect that the hail storm had. After paying all expenses, Husa Will make a profit of $33 an acre, or a total profit of approximately $3,200 from the 08 acres this year, a better i*etum than normally Is received from this acreage in any two years. George Hlkler, southeast of Wymore, threshed the wheat on this field the lest week. • - Edgar, Neb., July 30.—Another £rain crew and engine arrived here {rom Wymore Monday night, and will he put In service between Edgar and Holdrego to assist hauling the Heavy grain shipments, which are now starting to move. This line of railwny has had but tri-weekly serv ice for freight shipments in the past, but the railway has found that the volume of business Is too heavy and daily service will be operated through the grain rush. Callaway, July 30.—Farmers are liltending to start threshing wlth {p a few days. It is expected that the field of grain will he good. Some ilelds are expected to make close to JO bushels an acre. * - Beatrice, Neb., July 30.—Showers fell in this section of Nebraska last night and yesterday. The moisture will ajd Gaga county's bumper corn drop which Is in the making. Most of the corn Is In tassel, and with one or two more good rains the best crop in years will be produced in the gounty. , Alpha Graf, farmer a few miles north of Beatrice, reports a yield of 28 bushel* of wheat to the acre from KIO acres. The yield is the best Mr Graf has ever produced on his' farnri. , Harvard, Neb., July SO.—Hail, which accompanied a general ruin SiT.ctically ruined the corn crop over a small area southeast of Harvard. Nebraska’s farm will produce 17, 220.000 bushels more of winter wheat this year than in 1923, while the crop for the entire county will be 29,789, #00 bushels less than last year, ac cording to government crop estimates. Four states, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, will share In the Increased production of winter wheat while the other wheat-growing states harvest much smaller crops than last year, the July 1 estimate of the government shows.'substantial increases in these four states are estimated on July 1 over the June 1 istlmate. Nebraska’s winter wheat Crop was estimated at 41,439.000 bushels harvested last year, but this was Increased to an estimate of 45, 365.000 bushels by the July 1 esti mate. Condition of winter wheat In Ne braska Is reported to be 80 per cent, or exactly equal to the state's 10 year average, while for the United States the condition July 1 was 77.9, 4s compared to a 10-year average of 80.9. Spring wheat production, according to the government estimate, also will be 15,940,000 bushels less than In 1923, although there was an Increase of 13. 630.000 bushels Indicated July 1 over June 1. The spring wheat crop for ihe United States last year was 213, 401.000 bushels, and the estimate this year indicates a crop of 197,461,000 bushels. - With a smaller crop for the coun try, though greater In Nebraska, fiigher prices for wheat are sure to follow and many thousands more dol lar* will find their way Into the pock ets of Nebraska farmers from this source. Reports received from McCook. Kearney, Falls City, Hastings, Colum bus, Beatrice, Norfolk, Grand Island, Lexington and Broken Bow are unan imous that the future outlook Is noth big but encouraging for agriculture ut the middle west.

Burgess Bedtime Stories --- By THORNTON W. BURGESS. Ijrnorance Is seldom slow To scoff at what It does not know. —Mrs. Happy Jacks The Young Squirrels See Kedtall the Hawk. The young Happy Jacks never for got what their mother told them about their tails. . They took the greatest care of them. All admired I he wonderful great tail of their father, Happy Jack, and each hoped to have a tall just like it. Being healthy and having plenty to eat, the four little Happy Jacks grew very fast. It wasn't long be fore they were jumping about from branch to branch in their home tree. They played tag and hide-and seek there?" and ran races. And all the time they were doing these things they were learning how to Jump, how to catch twigs and branches, and how to use those big tails when they were Jump ing. They didn't know It, but they were learning things which they would have to know when the time to go out into the Great World should come. One day three of them were chas ing the fourth one up In that tree. They were having a very exciting time. One could Jump a little further, dodge a little quicker and run a little faster than the others. And this was the one t^at the throe were try ing to catch. Suddenly they heard a sharp hark from Mrs. Happy Jack.

It meant danger. All four stopped right on the Instant. They remained per fectly still, each where he was. They didn’t know what the danger was. They'didn't know where it was. But they did know that when mother barked like that there was Just one thing to do, and that was to obey. There they clung, each one just where he happened to be when he heard mother’s voice. Mother had been,over in another tree. While they remained quiet, frightened but not knowing what to be afraid of, Mrs. Happy Jack quiet ly joined them. “What is it?” whis pered one to Mrs. Happy Jack. “Look up through that little open ing in the tree tops and watch that bit of blue, blue sky,” whispered Mrs. Happy Jack. AH the little Happy Jacks did as they were told. First they saw noth ing but the blue, blue sky. Then a little bit of white cloud floated across. Once more there was nothing but the blue, blue sky. Still the little Squir rels watched. Mother had told them to and so they did it. At last against that little patch of blue, blue sky ap peared a bird with widespread wings. He wasn’t flapping those big wings. He seemed to be floating around and around on them. He didn't look very big. In fact he looked rather Rrnall. ‘‘There,” whispered Mrs. Happy Jack, "do you see that fellow up there?" "Yes'm,” replied each of the little Happy Jacks in turn. “Well,” declared Mrs. Happy Jack, ‘‘be sure that you always see him before he sees you. That is an enemy you must always watch out for. It is Redtall the Hawk. He is out hunt ing right now. Nothing would please him quite so much as a tender, young Gray Squirrel." "Pooh!" said one young Happy Jack. “I don't see why we should be afraid of him. He doesn’t look big enough to hurt anybody.” "That is because he is so very high up in the air,” replied Mrs. Happy Jack. “One of these days you prob ably will see him close at hand and then you will understand why he is to be feared.” Copyright, 1924. The next story: "The Foolish Young Happy Jack.” Paving Program Approved. Plattsmouth, July 30.—A paving program for 15 blocks has been ap proved by the city council and bids will be advertised for. Ni<*ht Air Mail Now Permanent Success of First Month’s Trial Brings Order for Its Continuance. Washington, July 30.—Performance of the New York-San Francisco air mail service and the quantity of mall offered for transmission have been so highly satisfactory that Postmas ter General New has decided to con tinue operation on the present sched ule indefinitely. The original plan es tablishing the service called for only one month’s operation. The records of the air mail pilots during the trial period show they have been on schedule time in about 33 per cent of the total east and west bound trips. On three trips, eastbound, the pilots had to lay over at Bellefonte, Pa., for the night because the airway from there into New York was not lighted, and on two trips they had to stop overnight before reaching Pan Francisco for the same reason. Or ders have been givCTr*to light these stretches. Demand for establishment of air mall service to other cities has come to postal authorities In considerable volume, but they are unable to do anything without specific authorization of congress. It is considered likely that at the December session of con gress bills will lie Introduced provid ing for extension of the service. STATE FIGHTS ALIENISTS (Continued from Page One.) whose legal remains are found in Blackstone, book 4, chapter Ji. "If there be any doubt of his san ity. he shall be tried on that Issue by a Jury,” says Blackstone, the terse and omnipotent. "Any doubt by whom?" asks Cav erly. "By the court,” answers Marshall. "How do you know," protests the court, “that there is ary doubt In the court’s mind?” ’“Can’t Escape It.” “You are harking back to the ques tion of insanity now.” Marshall warns: I "You can't escapf It.” “Well, we’ll try to,” smiles Caver ly. , But Mr. Marshal', like Poe s repeti tious raven, chants again: "You can't escape It." But escape It they will when the state ends Its filibuster, and the de fense, now secure In the sympathy of the court, expressed today out right, can continue Its case. Tomorrow Dr. White will finish pronouncing his name and will hur ry through his testimony, to make room on the stand for his brother alienists of the defense. Cold Clsy Now. This Is how Dr. Bernard Glueck of New York plans to escape It when he follows Dr. White on the stand: "The two boys are like cold clay new. They are getting worse every day. They are cooler and less emo tional than when I examined them several weeks ago." He imports this analysis to report ers in the courtroom. Expect the defense to argue: Eeopold and Eoeb, slayers of little Robert Franks, are cold clay now. Why should the Cook county hang man do a job already done by a gal lows In their souls?
