The hard winter has been a wv
ere strain upon the people of tho
wend, but If will not be entirely
without benefit. Already trado
conditions begin ' respond to the
pi ospecit for rTnotl crops the coming
summer.
I'ollowlng excellent article Is from
the Omaha Daily No wis of March
14:
That the heavy snows of this win
t"r mean gnat prosperity to Ne
braska and to Omaha during the
coming season is the unanimous as
sertion of Omaha business men.
Hankers, grain men. wholesale and
retail dealers, and railroad men a
preo that eondltions could hardly be
belter for the (Top outlook of. LfM,
and large yield of corn, grass and
smaller grains are predi fed.
The latest enow falling today is
regarded as just a trifle superfluous
by the Omaha men, one or two of
whom, however, admitted that per
haps they were prejudiced by the
height of the drifts through Which
they had to wade this morning.
Crop expert agree that Nebraska,
agriculturally speaking, should have
one of the greatest years in the his
tory of the stiite, and that farther
west in the irrigated regions the
unprecedented snowfall lias assured
plenty of water for the spring
crops and also through July and
August.
Gradual thawing of the snow bo
as to give the moisture a chance to
soak into the soil is all that is nec
essary to make early spring condi
tions ideal for the farmer in the
wheat and corn bell, say the Oma
ha experts on crops.
Crop Yield to Be Greatest Known
J. K. Utt of the Hock Island rail
road, who has watched Nebraska
crops for many years, asserts that
the snow is "great." He believes
that the yield of alfalfa, graiss and
corn will be the greatest ever known
in the state if no untoward condi
tions occur in the summon-, hut is
inclined to think that perhaps the
1 wheat yield will not he WO large as
sonic poopHj expect.
when Nebraska has an immense
"It has been my experience that
com crop, the wheat yield is not so
large, buf the value of the snows
, this winter Is immense to the state
at large." said Mr. I'll.
i-:. i'. Peek, premideol of the Oma
ha Grain Kxchange. said that nevt.r
in the history of the state were
conditions as ideal for a big wheat
crop as in Nebraska at this time.
"The acreage is the largest ever
planted in the state," said he. "aiid
there is every reason to believe that
jit baa stood the severe wind i weath
er In fine shape, owing to the hecvy
covering of snow throughout the
! winter months. Everybody knows
tiara is plenty of moisture in the
ground and plenty of material for
more when the heavy snow malts.
So, why shouldn't conditions be
! ideal?"
Railroad Men Enthusiastic
I.. IV. Wakeley. sjelu ral Iiasscnuer
agent of the Burlington, is very en-
tbualaacic over the snow tall, believ -tgg
that it moam millions of dollars
to the tanners of the middle wet! in
cluding Nebraska,
" ThrOUShOUl the corn and when'
belt and the irrigated regions con
ditions could not be batter. The
snow will furnish moisture that will
last for a long time, and the moun
tains are filled with snow that will
not melt until July or August, assur
ing plenty of waler In the streams
for irrigation when it is most need
ed. I would say this last snow means
the perfection of all sprint; condi
tions," siiid Mr. Wakeley.
"I look for an immense wheal
crop- There is nearly enough mois
ture on Ihe ground now to insuiv it.
Business conditions are already im
proving and money will he more
freely spent when the large ntinilir
of laboring men now idle are put lo
work in the spring," said W. H.
liucholz of Ihe I'niied Stales Na
tional lank.
Other members of the Omaha
Grain exi linage ami elevator men
in Omaha indorse the statement
made by ihe fori -going men The
grain ineu are looking forward to one
of the beet years for grain ever
known in the state.
Thai business condition are al
ready Improving, influenced h the
optimistic outlook for crop.-, g a
serted by nearly every business man
and hanker in the city.

The numlver of women serving as

Wyoming, tho total number in the

with other states ranging all the way

THREE YEAR HOMESTEAD LAW
Proposed Law Urged
Congressmen and
by Western
Senators
The Herald's Washington corres
pondent semis us the following item
that will greatly interest most of
our reader-
Western members have decided to
make a stand on the amended llorah
throe yOaVT homestead bill, and de
spite the opposition of the various
officials, will put up a vigorous fight
for its BOactment, The original Mor
al) bill w as amended by t lie house
committee so as to apply to "all pend
ing homestead entries requiring res
idence," the Borah measure having
excepted the Mondell enlarged home
stead act. Another amendment re
quires proof of seven months resi
dence out of each year, instead of
the rather indefinite leave of absence
proposed in the original measure.
The amendments somewhat meet the
objections of department officials, al
though its fate is uncertain at this
time. The amendments' are agree
able to the author of the bill, and if
It can be sent through the house the
senate will undoubtedly accept them.
