Western Nebraska
Making Reputation 1
On Certified Spuds
The production of certified seed po
tatoes is rapidly becoming an estab
lished business in the dry land regions
of western Nebraska. Last winter
western Nebraska dry land grown cer
tified seed potatoes were shipped in
carlots into the North Platte valley.
eastern and central Nebraska, Colorado
Kansas, Oklahoma ami Texas. Smaller
lots have been sent to eight or ten
other states and to Canada. Reports
that have been received by the Nebras
ka College of Agriculture from the
southern states this summer and for
the last few years indicate that these
western Nebraska grown potatoes
gave very excellent satisfaction. Re
cently the department of agriculture
of the Bermuda Islands has become in
terested in trying out western Nebras
ka seed potatoes, because of the diffi
culty of petting good seed from other
sources'.
This season almost 1.000 acres of po
tatoes have been listed with the agri
cultural extension service for inspec
tion and certification. About 900 of
these acres are planted with Triumph
potatoes a variety greatly in demand
itt-the south. The first field inspection
will be made by representatives of the
horticultural department during Aug
ust. A second field inspection, when
ever necessary, will be made in Sep
temWr. Fields of potatoes that are
true to type of the variety, and practi
cally free from diseases will be "cer
tified" at the end of the season.
Most of the seed potato fields are
located in Box Butte. Kimball, Dawes,
Sioux and Scotts Bluff counties. Prob
ably 100 or more carloads of certified
seed potatoes will be produced this
year. Certified seed potatoes generally
sell for 00c to $1.00 per hundred more
than ordinary potatoes.

GLACIER
National Park
The Gladdest Spot
the most-talked-of place in America by out-of-doors
folk, is a "hikers' " and "horsebackers " joyland.
Up there in the Northern ICoekies in Northwestern Montana, there are
fifteen hundred square miles of breathing room loafing space; forests
hundreds of sparking streams which meander through valleys ablaze with
wild flowers, and tumble over foaming waterfalls to feed two hundred ami.
fifty mountain lakes of rare beauty. In the "high-spots" there are eternal,
hlow-moving glaciers, astride the pageant of carved and tinted peaks. The
thrill, the majesty, the bigness of it all is wonderful.
To live for a time in this "high" land is a never-to-be-forgotten experience.
You'll straightway develop an amazing appetite.
If you are a fisherman, you'll enjoy battling with the trout.
If you are a hiker, there's no end of trails to follow to your heart's con
tent. If you love to ride, a sturdy little mountain pony will carry you over
fcky'land trails.
Mountain guides chaps you'll enjoy getting acquainted with are there
to accompany the timid.
Rowboat and launch service, auto-stages on a mountain motor highway,
are there for your pleasure and convenience.
If you like to "take your hotel with you" and camp, there are scores of
ideal spots.
The chalets little hotel villages in the mountains are pkture&que-tarrying-placts.
.
Two mammoth mountain inns, where unique indoor campfires crackle
' on. evenings in the "forest lobbies" provide accommodations of a more
elaborate character. t
The whole scheme of service within Glacier readily
lends itself to the out door. idea-follow the dictates of
your fancy.
