the ability to accumulate it are
two entirely different things. In
that difference is the difference
between failure and success.

CORN YIELD HIGHEST
IN NORTHEAST PART
(Norfolk News)
A still further increase in corn pro
duction estimates for Nebraska is
contained in the mid-month report of
the state and federal statistician.
Nebraska bankers who supplied the
data for the resume now make the
average 26.2 bushels an acre, or
slightly above the Oct. 1 figure, and
five bushels higher than last year.
Ninety percent of the crop, they
say, will be merchantable. Only 81
percent was saleable last year. The
total yield is now set at 221,000,000'
bushels as compared to last years,
212,000,000 bushels and the five-year
average of 214,000,000.
The southern and southwestern dis
tricts, where drouth was felt most
keenly last summer, returned the low
est yields. Their estimates are but
17.5 to 18.5 bushels. In the northeast
ern district, however, the yield is
placed at 40.9 bushels and in the cen
tral district at 28.6. Since these two
areas produce 40 percent of the whole
state’s crop, they made the general
average high.
Practically all corn will be ready
for cribbing by Nov. 1, except that in
the south central region.
Prices are now 81 cents a bushel as
against last year’s 78 cents.
Only in the panhandle region, the
report goes on to say, has seeding of
wheat lagged. A good supply of mois
ture facilitated planting in other sec
tions. The acreage unseeded over the
state as a whole is about 80 percent.
Last year at this time, 21.5 percent
war still unseeded.
The seeding of rye this year is 93.8
percent of last.
Cattle and lamb prices are reason
ably uniform over the state.
No unusual livestock losses have
been reported. The movement of cat
tle into the feeding districts is slow.
The presence of hog cholera seems to
be on the down grade.

Holt county in 1879, homesteading on
the Blackbird. In the early nineties
they moved to O’Neill, where Mr.
