EGrowing Crowds •^VTeet Sire Train as Trip Continues YX pstern Nebraska Farmers iShow Keen Interest in Dairy Farming Possibilities. By WILL M. MAL'PIN. ; Curtis. Neb., Oct. 15.—Joe Pere grine of Grant made the best speech of the trip at this point. Mr Pere grine w-a* selected by the local com mittee to receive a purebred sire In exchange for a scrub hull. The pure bred war donated by Homer Kremke of Jansen. “Z carne here from eastern Ne braska six years ago with $1,600 and on* cow,” said Mr. Peregrine. "I had milked from 12 1o 16 cows back In eastern Nehraskr. but 1 came out here to raise wheat. My first year's crop co*. me $600 mors than } got out of It. In three years -ny $1,600 was gone, and I was broke. T went to the hank In Grant and said I wanted to buy some nows. The bank told me to go and buy the cows I wanted, give my checks for them and then come in and sign a note Those bank er* w re wisp in one way, anyhow. "I bought some cows and for three jf years I have been milking and build ing tip my herd. I've quit trying to make a living by raising wheat alone. Today I don't owe a store bill, I don't owe the bank, and I have Mg little money ahead. And I am going to milk more cows and raise less wheat and more corn and alfalfa.” Mr. Peregrine's experience as a wheat raiser Is the experience of hundreds in this section of Nebraska. His experience as a dairyman is the experience of a growing number of people here. This Is not a sure-erop country, hut it never fails to raise enough grain and hay to feed a hundred times the number of milk cows it now lias, and those cows would make farming profitable where it is now an uncer 1 iIn gamble. That the people are interested Is evidenced by the fact that In this small city, in sparsely settled territory, 2,488 people went through the train. And In point of intelligent interest, courtesy and good looks, It was a crowd that measured well above the average Entertainment. Provided. The local committee nf Grant worked hard and Intelligently, which accounts for the crowd and the inter est. The business men of Grant lmd provided an all-day entertainment of i superior order, Including free pic ture shows, free lunch and various -treet entertainments. Grant Is the seat of tlie Perkins County High school. Thirty-seven years ago last summer vour correspondent homesteaded sev on and a half miles southeast of Grant. Today he met William Ed wards. who was then his nearest neighbor, nearly six miles' distant, and the owner of the only well in that entire section. At that it was about as near to water one way as It was the other. Tt required all day to drive to the Edwards well, draw fc'vAhe water In a bucket from a depth' n( nearly 300 feet, fill three barrek and then drive back to the Sodth' The country is much better setih ■ now, and while the wells are just a deep as they used to be there to more of them and the gasoline engim and the windmill have replaced the 5ld pulley and double bucket system One well-remembered Incident of those days is that the writer pegged type by hand for three days in the newspaper office at Grant to pay for the publication of his final proof no tice. Average Attendance Is 2,044, Now Grant has all the modern con . enlences and the newspaper no long has Its type edged up by hand. A'e have not been greeted by h finer -row'd anywhere on the trip. Willi oday's count at Grant the avetago lumber going through the purebred lire special at the 13 stops has been 2.044. I Curtis, home of the Western N" \ nraska Agricultural college, was .tlr .-erond stop of the day, and an im tiense crowd greeted the train. -I g Fordlce, an experienced dairyman was the recipient of the Holstein bull donated by Frank Swanson m Stromsburg. The Liberty quarfet. famous all over this section for to singing of original songs, broadcast from the broadcasting station in stalled on the train, v Dairying :s growing in popularity in this section, where beef cattle production has long psen the chief Industry. Conditions here are just right for dairying, and local men report a continued increase t in the amount of butterfat marketed. ■* The agricultural school is doing a splendid development work in this section and 1s growing in size and in fluence every year. There is a noticeable increase in the size Of the crowds meeting the train and In the interest manifested. This is accounted for by the Increas ing publicity that is being given the train and Its mission It Is performing Auto Collides With Truck; Driver Seriously Injured Kimball, Oct. 15.—Arnold Schmidt of Poole was seriously Injured today when his car collided with a truck loaded with wheat driven by tern • Nelson, a mile north of here The truck was coasting down hill and was out of gear.

Beatrice. Oct. 15.—Farmers report that In a number of localities in Oage county winter wheat is becoming spotted in some fields from lack of moisture and unless rrjin falls soon the crop will be considerably damaged. No rain has fallen here for about, three months. John Herold. stack raiser and feed er, east of Beatrice, reports that owing to the dry condition of the ground, and the fact that the ravines anil ponds have dried up, he is obliged tu drive his rattle some distance fur water. He is feeding mere than 200 head this fall and is compelled to divide them tip into small herds when he waters them. He says there is practically no fall patsure, which makes the feeding proposition rather serious. Some farmers In Gage county have disposed of their herds rather than carry them through the winter.

Each chapter Is represented by the lending hunters and anglers In this vicinity. Long Delayed Visit. Jack Fenton, T'nion Pacific eni- j pjoye, saw his only sister, Mrs. Mary ITorgan of Brooklyn, N.
