A great wheat crop is being har vested in that locality and it is a crop harvested where ten years ago the prairie lands were unbroken and un touched by cultivation. It has been a great development that has come to that section and instance after in stance has been published where wheat growers in different counties, have in a single crop, secured returns sufficient to pay for the land and its improvements. While such returns cannot be an ticipated as a permanent feature, yet they do put that section of the state upon a new plane of productiveness and of investment value and as the wheat fields have grown there, and as crop production in other lines has moved upward with it, business of every kind in northwest Nebraska is moving to newer and larger propor tions. It is not surprising that values ad vance where development brings such generous returns; it is not surprising that people are finding this a great section in which to make investments and to establish themselves in busi ness. The wheat fields of northwest Nebraska, today are a picture of pres ent development and an assurance of future growth that needs to be seen to be appreciated. The people of eastern Nebraska are begining to realize that out in the new land are opportunities heretofore un realized and unappreciated and as a result there will be added movement toward that section of the state that will all conribute to its growth and upbuilding along the largest lines. Select Seed Potatoes At Harvest. The custom of using as seed pota toes left from the previous season’s crop, after having disposed of the best, must be discontinued if the present quality and yield of the crop is to be materially improved, say specialists of the United States Department of Ag riculture. The grower can not expect to get maximum yields from inferior seed stock any more than the dairy man can expect to get maximum milk yields from scrub cows. The best time to select seed potatoes, according to the specialists, is in the fall when the crop is being harvested. Then the yield of the individual plant and the quality of the tubers can be con sidered. Good seed is pure in respect to the variety; is produced by healthy, vigor ous, heavy-yielding plants grown under favorable climatic conditions; is some what immature; reasonably uniform in size and shape; firm and sound. The first sprouts should begin to develop at planting time. - \ Harry Scott, of Chambers, returned from overseas the first of the week. Harry was a member of the motor cycle corps. NO FEDERAL QUARANTINE NOW ON INFECTED GRAIN No Federal quarantine is to be placed against Indiana and Illinois as a result of flag smut and take-all diseases in these States, provided the States themselves take adequate meas ures to prevent shipment of infected grain. This decision was reached by the Federal Horticultural Board of the Department of Agriculture July 15 at the conclusion of a hearing lasting all day. Indiana has already taken what the board regards as adequate protective measures. Illinois, though it has done nothing up to this time, agrees imme diately to take action paralleling that of Indiana, and the withholding otf quarantine is based on the distinct understanding that such effective con trol will be exercised under State au thority as to prevent any possibility of interstate movements of infected pro ducts. The regulations with which the States must comply are: All infected fields in each area will be thrashed by the same machine on ground where grown, machine not to be used again for threshing wheat this season. All threshing machines and wagons used in thrashing diseased fields shall be thoroughly disinfected with for maldehyde. All grain.from diseased fields to be disinfected with formaldehyde as it comes through the thrasher. All straw and stubble from in fected fields to be burned. No wheat, barley, rye, or oats to be grown on the infected fields, except by approval of the Federal Horticultural Board, for five years. “Attractive visitor you had just now.” “Yes,” said the impressionable business man. “She’s a book agent and the best looking person who has been about these premises in many a day.” “What’s she selling. “A life of Cleopatra.

If some other genius will devise a government bond that will clip off its own coupons and cash them, the farmer’s life will be relieved of another great hardship. -—Wheeling Intelligencer. Governor Lowden, of Illinois, who was to have visited Nebraska and ad dressed the special session of the legislature now meeting at Linncoln, was prevented from so doing by the riots'now raging in Chicago and in which twenty-seven people already have lost their lives.
