RED WILLOW COUNTY LEADS
Estimate of Nebraska Wheat Crop
for 1910 Finds Red Willow County
Leading the State in a Gain of
19 over Nearest Competitor
One of the leading grain compan
ies of Kansas City has just recent
ly issued a bulletin showing the con
dition of the wheat crop in the state
of Nebraska and the figures made
by this company are very satisfac
tory to the people of It i i ow
county Of tbo CG co tntie repc tod
upon by this Rel Tow
county i3 o ic or thj siven cou e3
si oiling a cria in bamelw The
ilcii ate Is estimated at 60
lb o higher than the nearest com
petitor which is Furnas county with
an estimated gain of 41 The sev
en counties in which there is an
estimated gain are Chase 20
Dawson 5 Frontier 40 Furnas 41
Harlan 5 Hitchcock 30 Red Willow
60
The estimated gain in bushels for
Red Willow county is 450000 bush
els over last year The report also
indicates that 10 of Red Willow
countys old crop is still on hand
or 74800 bushels
On the basis of present condition
of growing winter wheat in Nebras
ka the present promise is for a crop
of 35730000 bushels a loss of 216
or 9860000 bushels from last years
final yield
There is an increase of from 300
000 to 400000 acres of winter wheat
as compared with a year ago The
loss is greatest in southeastern
counties while the western counties
show the greatest promise of a large
ly increased crop over last year
Of course weather conditions will ef
fect this promise of results
The report shows the total of bush
els of wheat on hand in these 36
counties as about 5800000
Report bears date of April 25 1910
and the figures are claimed to be
from personal inspection and from
the average report of more than 400
grain men and millers in the state
We add on our own account that
spring wheat conditions in Red Wil
low county are equal if not superior
to fall wheat conditions Recent
rains have not reduced the promise
of either
Human Rights Higher than Property
Rights
While not merely acknowledging
but insisting upon the fact that
there must be a basis of material
well being for the individual as for
the nation let us with equal empha
sis insist that this material well-being
represents nothing but the foun
dation and that the foundation
though indispensable is worthless
unless upon it is raised the super
structure of a higher life
That is why I decline to recognize
the mere multi millionaire the man
cf mere wealth as an asset of value
to any country and especially as
not an asset to my own country If
he has earned or uses his wealth in
a way that makes him of real bene
fit of real use and such is often
the case why then he does become
an asset of worth But it is the way
in which it has been earned or used
and not the mere fact of wealth
that entitles him to credit
It is a bad thing for a nation to
raise and admire a false standard of
success and there can be no falser
standard than that now set by the
deification of material well being
in and for itself
My position as regards the money
ed interests can be put in a few
words In every civilized society
property rights m ust be carefully
safeguarded Ordinarily and in the
great majority of cases human rights
and property rights are fundamentally
and in the long run identical but
when it clearly appears that there
is a real conflict betwen the two
human right must have the upper
hand for property belongs to man
and not man to property From
