In our family "treat 'en rough"
means about tho same as "givo 'em
fits!" A good calling down or
BPOftklng one's mind Is a favorite
way of fronting 'om rough with poo
plo vfyo do not habitually resort to
physical vlolonco; And that is not
law-broaking. Many peoplo do not
undorBtnnd any othor kind of treat
ment. Wonthorinan Shilling cannot bo
boaton at his own game. Ho pre
dicted fair weathor for North Platte
ana vicinity for Tuosday. A big4
storm camo up. Kvorythlng pointed
to wind, rain, hail, otc. Wo wore
so cortaln of a storm that we got
ovorything under covor and got thore
ourselves. About six drops fell,
because Pa Shilling had decreed that
It was to bo fair and fair it was.
Howovor tho oast half . or the county
broke away from hla reign and got;
a good dronching. How long will
wo put up with such tyrany?
Thoro is no placo in North Platto
whero thoro is a finer spirit ahown
by ovoryono concerned than in our
offico. Evoryono seems to bo try
ing to show some courtesy to tho
othors without boing mushy. Wo do
call attention to things Uiat do not
go right but not with the Idea or
placing tho blamo on someone so
that ho will bo humbled. And the
boys and girls who work with us go
tho limit to bo holprul to us in male
lug tho Trlbuno all that it should bo
Our readcrB would hardly believe us

. Msowhoro wo ara publishing an
dx,rnct from tho Motor laws dealing
with children driving cars. The
legislators had ho Uttlo confidence in
a child's ability to bundle a car In
an emergency that they placo child
ren nnd intoxicated persons in tho
same class and they nro tho only
ones forbidden to drlvo cars. Wo
will admit that thore are some boys
under stxtoon who arc more mature
and more capable than some men of
twice that ago. This was consider
ed In making tho law and tho avor
ago boy was tnkon as tho standard.
Had It boon loft to tho paronts, we
would have four year olds driving
cars for wo fathers aro llkoly to
ovorostlmato tho maturity of our
childron. Tho law is specific in all
mattorB except placing tho responsi
bility for onforcing its provisions
and since no ono is chargod with
this duty it naturally rails on tho
regular offlcors. It is not nocose
ary for ua to montlon that too many
childron aro bolng allowod to drive
cars horo In North Platto. Because
thoy aro In most casos childron of
woll-to-do paronts, tho Idea grows
that thoy aro allowed to drive cars
bocauso their paronts aro woalthy.
It Is more often true that tho par
ents have lost control or what tho
children shall or Bhall not do or do
not havo tho backbone) to say no to
tho pleadings of- tho child. Prac
tically all childron want to drive
cai-8 and it is a question ror parents
to restrain thom until thoy aro old
onough or Biirfer tho consequences.
Wo hopo tho conscQuences will not,
bo dlsastorous to tho children.

L. L. Zook, Agronomist at the sta

Throshing has boon completed on
tho Experimental Farm. No record
In high production have been broken
but considering tho shortago of
moisturo, yields aro somewhat
belter than oxpoclod and in most
cases abovo tho average for tho per

biiflhols por acre following corn and
18.3 bushels por aero following
whoat or other small grain.
On bench land tho avornge yield
of wintor whoat following summer
tlllago was 33.3 bushels per acre
and 24.7 busholB por acre following
corn.
The highost yield of wintor whoat
from a slnglo plat of bench land
was 44.2 busholB por acre. This
yield was from tho Kanred variety
This variety also produced tho high
est average yield, but ita gain over
Turkey Red was only 1.1 bushels
por aero. Tho four year average
gain of Kanred over Turkey Red Is
2.7 bushels por acre. Variations in
tho dlfierenco in yield between the
two varieties havo varied rrom year
to year, as ni3t was or was not an
important ractor. Kanred is much
tiioro rust resistant and when rus
injures Turkey Red the larger yield
can be expected from tho more ruBt
