Heavy Drop in Trices Said to lie
Keponble Land Values and
Cash Rents Lower
Farm reserves of train are larper
tnan uual according to est mates com
piled by the bureau of crop estimates
inl Nebraska department of agricul
ture. The supply of corn on hand is
estimated to be l0.:)s3,000 bushels;
wheat 1 0.n.'jM.OOO bushels and oats 4H,
103,000 bushels. I.arpe crops last
year, shoitape of cars at the time
wheat was brinjfimr highest prices and
later trie heavy drop in prices are
largely responsible for the larpe sup
plies on hand. Land values have
, diopped slightly and cash rents are
lower.
i The reports indicate that fi3 per cent
of the corn crop remains on farms or
a reserve supply of 100.9X3,000 bush
els as compared to 73,074,000 bushels
last year. A year ajro 40 per cent of
the crop was reported on farms and
the ten vear average is about the
same. Last year's crop was much
lurjror than usual and less live stock
has been fed. Trices have been so
low that farmers have refused to sell.
Some have stated that the cost of
huskinvr, shelling and hauling to mar
ket has taken half of the price offered
at the local elevator. About '.r per
cent of lat year's corn crop was of
merchantable quality as' compared to
the ten year average of H'. per cent.
It is estimated that 4.1 per cent of the
crop will be shipped out as surplus
corn as compared to the ten year aver
PKP of 2! per cent.
S'ocks of wheat are estimated at
10.WiS.000 bushels as compared 1o 11,
.r2S,000 bushels a year aco. This is
approximately .1.1 per cent of the corp
against lit per cent on hand a year
'a-o, and the ten year average of 2.1
per cent. About 72 per cent of the
crop is shipped out of the count
whore prown, the balance hr'njj mill'il
locally, used for seed or fed as screen
ings. The balance of the oat crop on farms
totals 4X.1C!,000 bushels as compared
to 2!.:S 1,000 bushels a year am. This
represents .X per cent "of lavt year's
crop on hand apain t 12 per cent of the
crop a year ajro and the ten year aver
age of 4, per cent. Al out .12 per cent
of the crop is available for surplus
hinmonts. Count ;ps south of the
I'liitte river have a larger surplus thar
counties north of the river as was the
sitint'on a year 'aco.
Estimates of stocks of barley are
placed at .1,504,000 bushels or 4.S per
cent of the crop as compared to 2'"
per cent the ten year averaire. Ap
proximately .15 per cent of the cror
will be shinned nut nf iho .,.i,nt,.i-
where grown a compared to the ten
year averape shipment of 31 per cent.
There has been a slipht decrease in
farm land values, which is rather ex
ceptional. The average value of plow
lands now and a year avo are as fol
lows: poor plow lands $85 and $85 per
acre, pood plow lands $1.50 ami $1.50
all plow lands $125 and $125. The
averaire price per acre of all improved
farm lands Is $125 against $135 a year
ago. All unimproved farm lands aver
age $05 per acre as compared to $110
a year ago. In connection with the
above figures it must be remembere'
that 20 per cent of the farm land i.
w thin the sand hill area of the state
where values are very low when com
pared to the remainder of the state.
Estimates of grain stocks for the
Red Cross Assisted
Nearly Half Million
Ex-Soldiers in January
41S..12!) ex-service men during .the
past year and 35,20K during the month
of January, 1D21, required nnd receiv
ed aid from Hed Cross Chapters in Il
linois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and
Nebraska, in matters pertaining to re
adjustments following discharge. The
large variety of matters on which the
px-sold'er requires personal service is
decidedly on the increase due to the
fact that some of the men are only
ju t learning what their rights are ac
cord'ng to government provision nnd
also because many of them are ju-t
beginning to feel the effects of injur
ies and ailments aciurred during the
war. It is estimated that more than
20,000 men now in the hospitals, the
majori'v of whom are receiving Hed
Cross Med'Val Poial Service, w:ll in
crease to 50,000 (luring the next three
years.
The records of the Un'ted States
Public Health Service indicate that
thousands of former service men are
developing ti Ivrculosis and of her lung
affoct'ons which ore directly traceable
'o war service. Other thousands are
eeking treatment for nerve disorders
and mental troubles which, too, may he
traced to their origin-war experience.
Many of the ex-sold'ers who are at
nresent unemployed, are not wholly
lie victims of a season of industrial
depression. Their present lack of work
:s o"ten found to the the result of the r
having never been moiwrlv rcifll.i.i,.,!
L to civil life upon discharge from 'our
ni'htary forces, and their problems are
thus traceable at least indirectly to
war service.
There are 00,000 disabled men who
are at present receiving vocat:on;d

12,,000 more have been declared l.v

THE UNIVERSAL CAM
The Ford Sedan is the favorite family car, seats five comfortably. While an
enclosed car with permanent top, it has large windows, and may in a minute be
changed to a most delightful open car with always a top protecting against the
tun. In inclement weather it is a closed car, dust-proof, water-proof, cold-proof.
Finely upholstered. Equipped with electric starting and lighting system and
demountable rims with 3 V6-inch tires all around. A real family car. Anybody can
6afely drive it. It has all the conveniences of an electric car with the economy
which goes with Ford cars, low cost of purchase price, small cost of operation
and maintenance. Won't you come in and look at it?

Oil Building Material.
Are Again With Us
A FEW weeks ago a 30 per cent reduction was announced in the
price of building material. Since that time another big
change has taken place. The bottom has dropped out of the lumber
market, and another reduction of 10 per cent to 30 per cent in the
price of building material which brings the market back to pre
war basis
We are just as glad as you
that this has occurred
As the old price on all kinds of Building Material prevented scores
of people from owning their own homes.
BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED
And it is again possible for you to "Own Your Own Home." Don't delay
the building of your home another day we have the necessary plans and
will be more than glad to render you every possible assistance in getting
started.
A first hand, build to order home including all the longed-for conveniences so long desired
by your loved ones and yourself. Don't delay, make up your mind to become a Home x
Owner that is the first and best step toward accomplishment. DON 'T (JUESS AT
COSTS, LET US TELL YOU FACTS. Our whole experience at your service and we
both CAN and WILL prove helpful. You are apt to find that the matter of "ways and
means" won't prove such an obstacle. Investigate to do so costs nothing and will no
doubt mean much to you.
