CORN AND
MAIN SHOW IN NEBRASKA
TIII3 STATE PRE-EMINENTLY A CATTLE COUNTRY, WITH
CORN THE PRINCIPAL CROP STRONG ON
OTHER CROPS AND ANIMALS
.Nebraska, taken as a whole, Is
prominently a cattle state and
wi:hout douto will continue to be
for many years to come, always so
fnr as we know now. There are
lynple who have the Idea that the
production of hops and other domes
tic animals may be Increased Indef
initely but that the production of
cattle has about reached Its limit,
but this Is not altogether correct.
Talk about your hogs and horses,
intiles and sheep, they are not In it
with cattle. Tut them all together
and their total value falls ten mil
lion dollars short of the value of
cattle In this state. That's another
surprise for Nebraskans who haven't
kept poHted. Here's where we Ret
In by furnishing readers of The Her
ald some very Interesting but much
nerlected Information.
OIIU lal Live HttH'k HtntUtlcs
Cherry county leads all others In
the number of cattle, according to
the Inst report of the secretary of the
State Hoard of Agriculture, with
1HMK2. but in proportion to the
tlze of the county the number la not
ks large as in some other counties,
the rverage per square mile being
r pproxlmately 30 head.
piiiel county has the smallest
Lumber of any county In the state,
6,903 head, which is 14 per square
mile.
Grant county Is in the front rank
in number per square mile, C6, mak
ing a total of 40,658 for the county.
This may not be absolutely accurate
on account of some of the Urge
ranch s lapping over Into other coun
ties and the cattle all reported as be
' longing to Grant county.
liox Dutte with 25.625 has about
2 4 to the section of land; Sheridan
69.939, about 32 to the section;
Garden 45,425 which elves 27 to a
Fc;ion.
Runner county has the smallest
, number of milch cows, 714 out of a
total of 17,507; and Grant county
the pnallest number, 823, In propor
tion to the total, 40.658.
The number Of milch cows In Box
i IUiMo county is surprisingly small,
2,510, In view of the two creameries
. in the county, the combined output
of which amounts to Bcveral hundred
thousand pounds of butter annually.
The smaller of these creameries, lo
c!td at Hemingford. secures Its
cr mu largely from Sioux county,
ml the Alliance creanvwy draws
from quite a number of neighboring
counties as well as Box Butte.
Othce Animate in Ncbiask
There was a time when horses and
l ju'ea equalled cattle in value In
Nebraska, If not in number, but the
increase both in number and value
has not kept up with the pace set by
the bovines. Tho number of horses,
910.079, is about one-third the
number of cattle, 2,904.875, and the
estimated value, $81,907,110, Is a
' little more than one-third that of
cat Me, $213,943,510. An estimated
va'uo of $100 per head is placed on
the 102.192 mules In the state.
The 2.038,236 hogs in Nebraska
wre cnlmed to be worth $30 per
head, big and little, which looks
ihiher low at the present high prices
of porH. Knox county has them ell
skinned oh number. 94,612. which Is
about 8 5 to the square mile. Grant
county, which is great on cahle, has
the smallest number of swine, 395,
r.o- Butte had, enough for breeding
purpo"s and then some, 3,287;
p' -rl.., 11,258; Garden 7,900;
p.iwes ti.137; Sioux 3.608.

raised In Nebraska's big ranch coun
try. Thry are not wanted there.
They would Interfere with the cattle
Industry. While they might be
raised profitably In the sandhills. It
would not pay to rainc them In pref
erence to caKle, and ,it Is probable
that they would be quite detrimental
to that country. There is no good
reason for changing from cattle to
sheep.
Hooker county reported the small
est number of sheep last year, 8.
Box Butte had 42. Arthur 43, Mc
Pherson 11. Scotts Bluff leads the
state In the number of sheep assess
ed, 53.964, and the number fed,
125,572. This Is due to the sugar
beets and alfalfa grown In the Irri
gated country.
lMst but Not Ieast
Nebraska has 111,948 dogs, ac
cording to official report, which I
probably 100,000 more than she
needs. Lancaster county has the un
enviable distinction of having the
largest number, 3,4 90; Gage is sec
ond with ,593. Grant county has
the honor of having the smallest
number, 109, but is crowded for the
honors by Hooker, with 123. Box
Butte has 497, Sheridan 965, Garden
565, Sioux 680, Scotts Bluff 521,
Dawes 257.

It seems a timely thing that women In

the hope that certain minimum stand

and welfare among women may be
agreed upon and obtained.

K. OF C. MAKE THE
LITTLE THINGS COUNT
The little things count, whether In
peace or war, and by following out that
tnaxlm the Knights of Columbus have
made a hit with the American soldiers
and sailors overseas. Knowing that
the boys missed many of the little
things of home, even with generous
provision of food, clothing, etc., by
Uncle Sam. the Knights have sought
.out ways and means of providing the
men In the service with the little
things that a mother or father or sis
ter or brother would most like to see
them have.
When It was realized how great a
scarcity of soap there was In Europe,
the Knights ordered millions of cakes
of sonp, all bearing a handxome red
and blue shield, with letters remind
ing the boys that they were absolutely
welcome to the soap without any
charge. Towels were also supplied to
the men, and at . numerous places In
France the K. of C. put up shower
hatha.
: Boys In hospital often lost their en
tire kits before they got there, so the
Knights supplied them with shaving
brushes and cream and ' serviceable
safety razors. Matches are exceed
ingly scarce in Germany, so the
(Knlghts, true to form, supply book
.matches to the American army of oc
cupation. Also colds in the head are
prevalent In Europe. Again the
Knights come to the rescue of the boys
with thousands of khaki handker
chiefs. In London and Paris, where
mud often prevails, the Knights have
instituted free shoe-shine stands in
their clubrooins, the boys doing their
own shining.
And In a score of other little ways
the K-C have made known to the boys
that the money contributed to ' their
fund was simply given to the Knights
as agents for passing on Its benefits
to the sons and brothers of the donors.
Maybe M's Both.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair a good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sago
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred
ients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about 50 centg a bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies 'with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the bair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lubtre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is a delightful toilet requisite

What Kind of a Memorial?
Let us not return to the stone age and repeat the sculptured atrocities that followed
the Civil war.
Nothing is more appropriate than a memorial that commehiorates and does nothing
else. If a hall were erected jointly as a memorial and play house it would be a fine testi
monial to the future that the people of 1919 were no willing to epend money merely in hon
or of the soldiers who fought for American ideals.
