AAAAAAAAAAAA A A A A A A A A A A AAA AA AAA A A A AAAA AAA A A A A A AA A A AAM People all over the state of Ne braska are beginning to realize that Nebraska has failed to make the growth in population the growth in development that she is entitled to I by virtue of her soil her climate and J her geographical position largely be- cause she has neglected and failed to utilize that powerful stimulus and j dynamic force publicity advertising This awakening true has been stimulated it should be noted in passing by tie reports just male public from the census bureau giv ing figures indeed which are vastly an I k enly disappointing in some in stances Figures that are absolute ly inexcusable on the part of the peonle themselves who have for the most part -sat supinelyvby and allow ed other and really much less fa vored states and localities to skim off the cream of immigration and en to make serious inroads upon our own population Holdrege is one of the places to I express chagrin at the expected rev- I elations of the census They have been claiming and planning on 5000 but the figures according to unof ficial intimations will not be far from 3030 The census of 1890 gave them 2601 and that of 1900 3007 Phelps county shows a falling off in the past ten years of 321 Red Willow county has no such un fortunate record to point to but still agriculturally considered has not and is not making the most or best of her possibilities in that line For instance take the broad and fertile Republican valley just south of Mc Cook stretching both east and west It is capable of producing alfalfa and sugar beets in quantities and at a their patrons We have such a pretty assortment j store Relishes Pickles Dainty Sweets Olives 5c Home made Cake with Whipped Cmm 10c pie 5c

comparatively a small part of the available acreage is used in the intensive way it could and should be That magnificent acre age could be made to produce vastly more than is now raised on it The development of this valley land much of it practicable for winter ir rigation too would add a tone and strength to McCook now not appre ciated Emphasis should at this time and especially in the territojy adjacent to this city on the Republican river bottom be laid upon the beet sugar cultivation and upon alfalfa growing The question naturally arises why are Ave so modest in Nebraska as to is agricultural possibilities Take an instance or two of why we need not be The average yield of wheat per acre in the United States is 14 bush els Nebraskas ten year average is 19 Nebraska stands fourth among the wheat producers of the Ameri can states and she is the youngest of them all Again in the United States the average yield per acre of corn is 24 bushels Nebraskas ten year period averages 27 bushels per acre Notwithstanding only about one third of the available corn and wheat land in the state is under cultivation Let us in Nebraska wake up to the preciousness of our inheritance and make proper and effective use of the opportunities at hand and take adequate and rational steps toward encouraging immigration to our state Let Red Willow county and McCook do their share in this campaign
