give the democrat at least a fighting
chance to win. Under tho bill, how

Tillage.
the year's rainfall
lss than eleven inches, the wheat plats
at the North Platto experiment sta
tion yielded over thirty bushels per
acre. This was due to tho practice of
summer tillage, by which tho rainfall
of the year bofore had been stored for
the uso of the next year's crop. It
takes double time to make a crop by
this method, but not doublu expense.
While two years' cultivation is re
quired, there is of course only one
seeding and ono harvesting. In a bul
letin just issued the practice of sum
mer tillage is highly recommended for
western Nebraska. The average yields
at the station are more -than double
the nvorago yield in humid sections
anywhere- in tho country. If theso av
erages can be maintained on a farm
scale this western Nebraska land is
worth as much for wheat growing,
aero for ucro, as tho land further
east. Lincoln Journal.
