TEST OF GRAIN IS CONSIDER

NORMAL.
Crop Conditions In General Not as
Good as Reported Motith
Ago la Claim.
Winter wheat will average 14.0
bushels per acre according to the
preliminary estimates on yield Just
announced by A. K. Anderson and E.
R. Danlelson of the Bureau of Crop
Estimates aad Nebraska Board of
Agriculture. The yield was 11.1
buBhcls last year and the ten year
aTerage 17.4 bushels. The total
production is 49.000.000 bushels
compared to 83,470,000 bushels last
year. The test ranges from 63
pounds to 48 pounds or less, the
average being consldrably lower
than usual. The weather was gen
erally excellent for harvesting and
threshing. A large per cent of the
crop was stacked.
The condition of spring wheat at
the time of harvest was 61 per cent,
compared to 89 per cent. a month
go. Spring wheat Is a greater dis
appointment than winter wheat, due
largely to black stem rust although
other factors may be partly respon
sible. The Indicated yield (s 8.9
bushels per acre compared to 11.9
bushels last year, and the production
7,346,000 bushels compared to
63.000 bushels last year. TUa pre
liminary estimate of all wheat Is
66.346,000 bushels compared 'to
43.141.000 bushels last year.
The August 1 conditioa of corn
was 81 per cent, compared to 88 per
cent a month ago, which Indicates a
production of 174,830,000 bushels
compared to 133.086,000 bushels
last year. The deterioration la con
fined largely to counties south of the
Platte river and extending westward
from the Missouri river to Adams
and Franklin counties. This sec
tion of the state was In very critical
condition, much of the corn being
stunted and some of It had begun to
fire. The balance of the state with
few exceptions was in good condi
tion. Central, south-central and
some of the western counties had an
excellent condition. Norteastern Ne
braska was in. good condition, but
was needing rain.
The condition of oats at the time
of harvest was 85 per cent, to 86 per
cent, a month ago. This Indicates a
production of 73,408,000 bushels
compared to the final estimate of
66,188,000 bushels last year. The
southeastern Quarter of the state has
a better crop of out 9 than the north
eastern Quarter, which la rather ex
ceptional. ; There was ' very little
rust on oats grown south of . the
Platte river, which may account for
the relatively better yield than win
ter wheat as both crops ripened
under similar weather conditions
and oats are considered to be more
susceptible to damage from high
temperature than wheat.
The condition of barley at the
time of harvest was 85 per cent,
which should give a production of
7.880,000 bushels compared to 5,
660.000 bushels last year. The pre
liminary estimate on yield of rye is
14.5 bushels and the production
5,939,000 bushels compared to 5,-005,-000
bushels last year.
The condition of potatoes was re
duced from 91 per cent to 69 per
rent, during the past month. The
indicated production is 8,411,000
bushels compared to 10,406,000
bushels last year. High tempera
tures, drout and Insects are largely
responsible for the lowered condi
tion On account of reduced acre
age and low condition, the commer
cial crop promises a much smaller
crop than last- year. Moisture is
needed at once to prevent further
deterioration.
The condition of all hay Is good.
The yield of wild hay is excellent.
The first crop of alfalfa was very
large and the second crop was good.
These sections, which have been fav
ored with moisture last month, will
have a good third crop while In
other sections the crop has been
damaged by drouth.
The condition of sugar beets Is 87
per .cent, compared to 89 per cent a
month ago. Insects were In much
evidence this year and the supply of
Irrigation Is reported to be. short
The acreage Is the largest In the his
tory of, Jhe state.
i Estimates of Important crops for
the United States are as follows:
Winter wheat, 715,000,000 bushels
compared to 558,499,000 bushels
last year. Spring wheat, 325,000,
000 bushels compared to 358,651,000
bushels last year. All wheat 940,
000,000 bushels compared to 917,
100.000 bushels last year. Cora
3,788,000,000 bushels- compared to
2,582,814,000 bushels last year.

Mrs. Kd wards H Gained Fourteen
round by Taking
Tanlac. .
"I weigh Just fourteen pounds
more than I did when I commenced
taking Tanlac a short time ago, and
my troubles have been completely
overcome," said Mrs. Nancy Edwards
who lives at 6620 East 12th Street,
Kansas City, Mo., while talking to a
Tanlac representative the .other day.
"Abotit two years ago," continued
Mrs. Edwards, "I began to have
stomach trouble, and until I com
menced taking Tanlac, my condition
had gradually grown worse all the
time. In fact, I had reached the
point where I was so weak and run
down that I was hardly able to get
about. Everything I ate disagreed
with me, and the gas that formed
from sour, undigested food, would
make me miserable for -hours at a
time. . I would have raging head
aches nearly every day, and was so
nervous all the time that the least
noise would upset me. and when
night came on It was a hard matter
for me to get off to sleep. I often
had such bad dliiy spells that I could
hardly stand bn my feet. The differ
ent medicines and treatments I tried
didn't do me any good at alL
"My daughter ' had , been taking
Tanlac, and It had done her so much
good that I decided to give K a trial
myself, and I can honestly state that
by the time I had finished my first
bottle I was feeling like a different
person. Well, I Just kept on getting
better, and now since taking three or
four bottles of Tanlac. I am enjoy
ing the best of health in every way.
I never had a better appetite, and
what I eat agrees with me perfectly,
