rians are being made for the third
annual convention and show of the
Nebraska Potato Improvement Asso
ciation, which will be at Rushville
the second week In November.
There are prospects that a bumper
potato crop will have been harvested
by that time. The association is
urging all potato growers to plan to
attend the convention. Whether able
to attend or not every grower In the
State Is urged to send a 10-tubor
exhibit of his spuds. Those who
grow early potatoes ia eastern Ne
braska should store their show ex
hibits carefully. It they have no
good place available, their exhibits
will be placed In cold storage for
them If sent to W. O. Werner, Secre
tary of the Nebraska Potato Im
provement Association, University
Farm, Lincoln.
Growing pullets do better If ther
have some kind of animal food, such
as skim milk, butter milk, meat
Bcraps or a high grade of tankage,
say University extension poultrymen.
Under normal conditions pullets on
the farm will obtain enough insects
and worms, but dry weather often
limits this supply. Plenty of milk
or butter milk is usually available on
the farm. If it Is not it will be
worth while to use meat scraps or
good tankage especially If an early
supply of eggs is desired. Pullets
have been laying since July 2 at the
University Farm.
HELPfULWORDS
From an Alliance Citizen.
Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache especially after exer
tion? Is there a soreness in the kidney
region?
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys. If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get weaker fast.
Give your trouble prompt atten
tion. Doan's Kidney Pills are for -weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recom
mend them.
Head this Alliance testimony.
Mrs. D. W. Ray, 414 Niobrara St.,
says:' "Several years ago I was suf
fering from a steady, wearing ache
J in my back and I was in a run down
condition. I felt tired and nervous,
too. Doan's Kidney rills gave me
fine relief. I have seen ao muth
proof of their value that I recom
mend them as a good kidney medi
cine." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't

While Nebraska is not limited to
any one time of the year for seeding
clover, alfalfa and grass, both fall
and spring having their advantages,
extended trials at the Agricultural
Experiment Station Indicate that
August ts the most suitable time for
seeding grasses in eastern Nebraska
if the seed bed and moisture condi
i tloua are favorable then. If seeded
later than September 1 there is con
siderable danger of winterkilling be
cause of the small growth which the
plants are able to make after that
time. While some doubt has always
been expressed as to the success
from fall seeding of red clover, the
Experiment Station obtained perfect
stands during the three years, 1814,
1915 and 1916, by seeding In August.
The crop of wild fruits in the sand
hills and along the western Nebraska
streams is reported as very good this
year. Several Alliance parties spent
Sunday picking wild grapes and
choke cherries along the Niobrara
last Sunday. The wild plum crop is
reported as excellent, although they
are still green. The choke cherry
crop will soon be gone but the wild
plums and grapea will be ripe for
picking within ten days or two
weeks.
The Hon. Geo. Snow, editor of the
Chadron Journal,, spent a short visit
In Alliance the last of the week,
stopping over on his way home from
the trip with the Nebraska editors
on their special train from Omaha to
the North Platte valley. Editor
Snow, who Is a member of the legis
lature, from Sioux and Dawea coun
ties, had been in attendance at the
special session in Lincoln and joined
the editors at Omaha.
A news dispatch from Washington
on August 7th said, that Chaliman
Vance McCormick of the war trade
board had on that date notified Sen
ator Hitchcock that the embargo on
the importation of German potash
should be lifted at once. This would
permit the German product to come j
into this country ror ran delivery.
The protest of the farmers of the re
gions where potash is freely used as
fertilizer brought about this action,
Mr. McCormick said, together with
the fact the Nebraska and other pro
ducers could not show that their loss
would be excessive on account of the
new competition.
That sod crops pay in Box Butte
and other western Nebraska coun
ties is proven this year by one Box
Butte man who has 800 acres of sod
planted to corn. . Many farmers have
-made a practice of allowing their
land to He idle for nearly a year
after breaking up the sod. This msn
planted his 800 acres of sod to corn
this spring. He was offered $20 per
acre for his crop as K stands one day
last week, a total of $16,000 for the
crop. Flax, wheat and other crops
are also grown successfully on sod in
Box Butte county. N
The Lincoln State Journal on
Monday, says: "Reports from the
potash district in northwestern Ne
braska say that considerable activity
Is apparent among the plants there,
and hope is held out that work will
soon be resumed. . Managers of the
plant say that work consists largely
in shipping the potash salts that
have been stored there and which
are being sold. They hold the opin
ion that real production will not
again begin until some assurance is
given from Washington as to the fu
ture of the Industry. The fact that
the embargo on potash from Ger
many has been lifted by the war
board will nut change tha Utualn
in the United States, as Germany
has not to exceed 20 per cent of the1
demand in this country ready for
shipment and cannot get back into
the game for a year or so."

Higher Telephone Rates
Throughout the Country
The telephone industry hs boon affected by the
same conditions which caused higher prices in every
other business.
The increased expenses the telephone companies
have had to meet has necessitated an advance in
telephone rates throughout tho country,
Tho cost of furnishing telephone service depends
on the cost of producing it. The telephone compan
ies everywhere are paying employees higher wages
and paying moro for materials than formerly.
Prices are on a permanently higher level and we
must of necessity adjust our business to meet this
new condition. -
