Last Monday twenty heads of
spring wheat were selected from a
field near Lexington, by a citizen
of Lexington, care being taken to
get aU of the same siae. ten having
been irrigated and ten aot irrigated.
From the appearance of the heads
it was impossible to tell one from
the other. The berries were care
full v picked out and weighed on
prescription scales, and the soe
irrigated wheat weighed 74 grains
and irrigated wheat weighed 114
grains. Thts shows a gain of 5
per cent in favor of irrigation. Ex
perts put the difference in the price
en the market at not less than five
cents per bushel. According to
these figures 40 acres of the non
irrigated wheat at say 19 bushels
per acre would bring, at fifty cents
per bushel, S20. while the same
wheat, irrigated would yield- l&i
bushels per acre and briiigr5 cents
per bushel, or Asa matter
pf fact the difference was much
greater than the above figures show"
for the reason that ra selecting
heads from the h cm-irrigated wheat
it was necessary to pick oat those
that were roach better than the
average, in order that they would
compare, in appearance and srae.
with the irrigated wheat. Lexing-

The third annual convention
the West Nebraska Conference
League closed nts sessions at
Lloyd's opera house on Sunday
evening, with a sermon by Chan
cellor Ellfnwocd of the Wesleyan
University at Lincoln. The con
vention was not as largely attended
as the.previons ones, but in point of
interest and excellence of program
it was superior to all others.
About the only disappointment of
the convention was the absence of
Dr. Berry, who iwas detained at
Ludington, Mich., by sickness,
being confined to bed at that place.
The officers and delegates were
highly pleased with the treatment
accorded them by the citizens, and
the generosity" idispJ by the
members of the local league.
Friday evening the convention
was favored with, an address of Dr.
Haistead, of Lincoln, on the subject
'-Early American Methodism to
lS44,ln which the speaker reviewed
the progress of the church, inter
spersed with incidents in the lives
of the early ministers. The lecture
was one which held the closest at
tention of the audience. During
the evening Mr. and Mrs. Davies,
of Cozad, sang a duett which
was especially well rendered and
received with hearty applause. At
7:45 Saturday morning Dr. Hal
stead again favored the audience
with a lecture "The Rivalry of
Life" which brought torth many
words of commendation.
Following this reports from the
various officers and superintendents
of departments were received, and
Inter the convention adjourned to
take up a continuation of depart
ment work.
The afternoon session was occu
pied in electing omcers for the en
suing year. Mrs- Kate Aubel. of
Lexington rendered a vocal selec
tion in a finished manner, and Kay

recitation.
Saturday evening Chancellor

Sunday afternoon at three o'clock
a Junior mass meeting was held
at the opera house. This session
opened with a song service in which
the Lexington orchestra assisted.
A doll drill was given by members
of the local Junior League, which
was quite entertaining, as was also
the song they sung. Other
exercises was a duett by Mr. and
Mrs. Davies, a solo by Jessie Sal
yards, of Wallace, who responded
to aa encore, andj piano solos by
two members of the Junior league
At 4:30 an open air meeting was
held in the court house yard. led
by Rev. F. L. Hoon. of Stockville,
formerly a commercial traveler.
Snndtiy evening the programme
consisted of 'devotional exercises,
