OUR RICH INHERITANCE
g 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

Cleanliness Our Motto
profitable figure now scarcely dream
ed of indeed 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
