TS A GOOD MOVE
RESOLUTIONS PUT FORTH IN THE
REAL ESTATE CONVENTION
LET NEBRASKAS LIGHT SHINE
This Can Be Done by Her Agricultural
Statistics Mr Buchanan Gives
Pointers as to How to Go About the
Work
Near the close of the meeting of the
Heal Estate Convention Fremont Neb
on the evening of February 14th the
following resolutions were offered by
Mr Leach of Antelope County and
passed unanimously
ltesolvcd That we favor a State law
to provide for the gathering of agricul
tural statistics by the State Labor Bu
reau covering substantially the fol
lowing points
1st The acreage seeded to grain
hay and other crops officially gath
ered and reported to the head of the
Bureau on or before the first of June
and by him compiled aud published by
the first of July of each year
2nd That a census shall be taken
on or before the first of November
which shall be compiled and published
by the first of December of each year
showing the yield of grain and other
crops and the value and number of
live stock of all kinds
As the lime was short the resolu
tions could not then be discussed Sub
sequently at the banquet table Mr
Buchanan recurred to these resolutions
and expressed the regret that the tlrm
was too limited for a full discussion o
them suggesting that they were of
vital importance lie stated that he
had listened with interest to all the
discussions resolutions and addresses
and had discovered how it was pro
posed by the real estate men to attract
the emigrant when he arrived how
they were going to secure his payments
of delayed indebtedness and all of the
other matters pertaining to his ca f
after he arrived but they had failed
in the most important feature of the
discussion which was how to get
him These resolutions adopted at
the close of the evening session em
bodied practically all that had been
said upon tnat subject and as it was
vital to catch the rabbit before you
skinned him or could eat him it was
equally vital to get the emigrant be
fore you could treat with him on vuo
question of selling him land or getting
his money Hence it seemed to him
most important that some mean s
1 should be devised by which a systemat
ic effort to entice the people of the
neighboring states to come to Nebras
ka and see and then buy He further
stated that if the resolutions as passed
were carried out in good faith and
actively they would supply the over
sight The resolutions recommended
the passage of a law which shall malr
it the duty of the Statistical Bureaa at
Lincoln to provide the requisite blanks
and to have certain representative per
sons in each township in the agricul
tural portion of the State say east of
the 99th or 100th Meridian gather
statistics from the 1st to the locu of
May showing the acreage planted to
the various crops the acreage devoted
to hay the number of cattle horses
hogs sheep etc in each township
This report should peremptorily be in
the hands of the Statistical Bureau by
or before the 1st of June This would
how the expectation for the States
products Then the more important
features was the gathering by the
same local statiscians under the same
jurisdiction between the middle of Oc
tober and the 1st of November show
ing the actual products of the various
cereals of hay and the stock industry
throughout the same period Thess
statistics should be peremptorily in the
hands of the State Statician In time
to have them compiled and published
by the 1st of December at farthest
The reasons he gave were first that
the farmer in the neighboring state
whom we are seeking to influence to
come to Nebraska is practically idle
during the winter months from the 15th
of December until the middle of Feb
ruary and will read anything placed in
his hands Second he will not read
anything after that time because his
spring work will have commenced or
be commencing or he will be arrang
ing for it to commence Third if ha
is a renter or if he is not a property
owner in the neighboring state he
will make his arrangements by or
about the 1st of March for the suc
ceeding year Hence matter placed in
his hands after that date could not
and would not Influence his movement
for another year at best Fourth if
this information is not placed in his
hands within the time mentioned as
he will not read it and cannot read it
until the succeeding winter it will be
ancient history to him and he will not
read it at all So that it is vital to
the interests of Nebraska immigra
tion to have these statistics which are
essential to influence immigration
placed in the hands of the prospective
settler as current history of the year
just closed It is useless for him to
be supplied with this information a
year late Again it is important for
the reason that when we have a leg
islature it is the duty and pleasure of
the Governor to submit to that Leg
islature a message which shall cover
such recommendations as he may have
to make on the various subjects of in
terest to the State If he has not these
statistics in time to make these rec
ommendations of course it is useless
to make them all But if he has cm
rent statistics or the statistics cm rent
for the past year just closed he can
studv them during the month oi De
cember prior to the delivery of hr
message upon the 1st of January Then
again if these statistics are published
and are placed in the hands of the
prospective legislators during the
month of December he will come t
the Legislature posted and with the
statistics properly digested He will
be prepared to submit suggestions or to
endorse recommendations by the Gov
ernor as to what should be done to
encourage immigration whereas if he
lias no statistics he is dependent upon
imaginary necessities and the immed
iate interests of his own particulai
township or locality
Mr Buchanan further stated that
there were some 260 real estate m n
fiJMcbrftfc
from the various localities in the state
present u tney coincided in me viewi
of the resolution for which they had
voted it certainly would be desirable
and was important that they Bhould
take the pains to Inoculate their scv
eral communities with this idea and
when their legislator or prospecthe
legislator was nominated and elected
that he should be influenced to realize
that this sort of a law was of vital
Importance to the State and seek to
secure its passage and it certainly
would rest with the real estate agents
present to exert their Influence locally
to this end Without such a law and
without such statistics and efforts of
the real estate convention just held
would be of minor importance This
is certainly the key to the situation
and ought to be impressed upon every
body forcibly
Ono thing further Mr Buchanan sug
gested as an aid to the end sought
which was that as there are some five
hundred or more papers published
throughout the State if the real estate
men would take it upon themselves t
provide their newspaper each week
with one example of successful farm
ing or stock raising in his community
it would no doubt be published read
ily and as there were some copies o
every paper in the State sent to former
homes of the editors in neighboring
States this item af actual results in
farming throughout the agricultural
portion of the State would necessarily
be read by men in neighboring States
where it was important this informa
tion should go Thus with five nun
dred such examples being publisher
throughout the State every week on a
in each newspaper and there being 52
weeks in the year it meant more than
25000 examples of this kind through
out the year being given to foreign
States of successful work in Nebraska
by the farmer and stock raiser and
that it would seem that it would be cf
immense advantage that these 25000-for-a-year
examples should be given
and their influence must necessarily bo
felt on the immigration to the State
These remarks by Mr Buchanan wero
well received
Practical Fljreon Notes
Dont allow draughts in your loft as
pigeons are very susceptible to cold
Be sure to furnish your birds a shal
low tub to bathe in and they will not
trouble your water bucket
Dont feed new grain to your pig
eons as in many cases evil results
have been known to follow this prac
tice
A handful of hemp several times a
week will be relished by the birds and
is also beneficial to their welfare
Try tobacco stems for nesting They
are grand for keeping down vermin
Dont breed both lice and pigeons
City fanciers are troubled by the
plumage of their pigeons becoming
soiled with tar Sweet oil will re
move It
New beginners in pigeon culture
constantly inquire which is the best
grit for pigeons Our experience
teaches us that no better grit can be
provided than old mortar
In arranging your aviary see that
the perches are arranged low If the
birds have no high perches to fly to
when you enter the loft they very rap
idly get accustomed to your appear
ance among them and therefore be
come tamer
Young fanciers are sometimes at a
loss to know where to buy and pro
cure their birds at bird stores Our
advice is to write a reputable dealer
and send him your order They may
cost you a little more but when pur
chasing always buy the best as they
are the cheapest In the end Orffa
Farm and Poultry Review
Wants a Stock Ranch
A gentleman living in Chicago writes
us that he has 20000 which he wishes
to invest in a stock ranch and wants
to know where to locate He can go
to the range territory of Oklahoma or
Texas and find good openings for in
vestment or he can try the range
country of the Western Dakotas with
almost equal promise of success or he
can take up the breeding of blooded
stock on the higher priced lands of the
Mississippi valley m the corn and clov
er country and perhaps do just as well
If the question of health for himself
enters into the matter as in this case
it does we would recommend the
Dakota plan as best A five year bout
with Dakota range conditions will
make the rundown wheezing Chicago
business man feel like a three year
old corn fed Dakota steer make him
all over of such good stuff that he will
not care a cent whether school keeps
or not
Plant it to Evergreens
A friend who has a few acres of
quite sandy soil on a ridge on his
farm which was poisoned with sorrel
wrote us last year wanting to know
how to get rid of the sorrel He did
it by plowing twice during the drouth
of last August and September and
now wants to get the land into clover
with a view to enriching it as the soil
is very thin and poor This is a hard
proposition unless he is sure of abun
dant moisture for an August suu will
about cook clover without rain under
such conditions of soil Instead of
clover for such a case we would try
cowpeas and if we had such a spot on
our farm we would give up the idea
of trying to make either pasture or
tillable land nut of it find would set it
out with Scotch and white pine or
Uttl 11 ivuiuu llll u iuuiv nivr uiiu
would cease to bother even if it could
only be regarded as a legacy for our
grandchildren
