SMALL GRAIN
HARVEST GOOD
Yield Considerably Below
Last Year; Most
Cutting Done
HAYING I9| LATE
Aided by dry weather and high
temperatures, Holt county’s harv
est of small grain this week en
tered into its final stretch. A
thumbnail summary reads like
this:
OATS—The county average 30
35 bushels per acre; quality good.
BARLEY—The average 25-30
bushels per acre; quality good.
RYE — About 10 bushels per
acre; quality below normal.
Yields on all small grains are
considerably below the booming
1945 figures. Some of drop is
attributed to the unseasonal
freezes in May' that caused dam
age and retarded growth of nearly
all crops.
Week’s end will see most of the
grain cared for, according to
County Agent A. Neil Dawes, who
has made several inspectional
trips throughout the county.
Oats and barley on the state
agronomist’s test plot at the Clar
ence Ernst farm, six miles north
west of O’Neill, yielded more than
25 bushels per acre.
Sam Robertson, who farms
northeast of O’Neill, has reported
that the yield of the new certi
fied Pawnee wheat on his farm
avejraged 25 bushels per acre,
while ordinary wheat went 20.
Axel Borg, another O’Neill
farmer, said that his oats were
the best he had ever raised.
Borg’s wheat averaged about 18.
Joint stem magate cut into the
} rye output and has caused some
concern. Oldtimers aver that the
damage from this cause is in
creasing each year. An analysis
of samples submitted to the state
entomologist showed 30-40 per
cent infestation.
rso Labor problem
There was no labor problem in
the harvest fields this year, con
trary to earlier predictions. Mr.
Dawes said that his office had
more applications from laborers
than there was demand.
Itinerant harvesters were nu
merous and they solicited work.
Among these were a number of
Canadian combine outfits from.
Sascatchewan. One of these
groups met with disappointment in
Kansas and began their first op
erations north of O’Neill. They
said that they were initially at
tracted to the U. S. harvest fields
by the favorable rate of exchange
between this country and Canada,
but with the recent increase in the
rate their purpose has been de
' feated. Also, they said Saskat
chewan was dry this year.
Meanwhile, haying is getting
underway — slightly behind the
normal schedule. The quality is
generally good, but the yield is
light.
The favorable weather that has
been aiding harvesting has been a
boon to the corn, which is doing
well throughout this section. A
lack of reserve moisture may tell
later on, but at the present the
fine July rains have aided the com
immeasurably.
The week’s weather summary,
based on 24-hour periods ending,
at 8 a m. daily, follows:
Date High Low Moist
July 12 83 60
July 13 90 67
July 14 96 70
July 15 85 67 07
July 16 81 68

Emmet Club to Help
Raise Funds for
O’Neill Hospital
EMMET — The Victory Home
makers’ club, at their regular July
meeting, decided to undertake a
fund-raising program to furnish a
room in the proposed new O’Neill
hospital.
The meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. John Cleary with all
but three members present. The
next session will be held with Mrs.
G. D. Janzing in August.
FAMILY AWAY,
HOME BURNS
PAGE —While Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Kifer were away from their
farm home on July 8, the house
and brooder house burned to the
fround. When the blaze was
iscovered by neighbors, it was
too late to save any of the con
tents of the house.
Even their clothes on the
clothes line were consumed by
the fire.
The Kifers lived 13 miles
north of Page. They were in
Ewing when the fire occured.
Oldtime Costumes

old-time “Hay Days” dance in Me

Rancher Plans Double-Uuty for jyiew rlane
A shiney, red two-seater air
plane has put a glamourous
punch into the ranching busi
ness for Dewey C. Schaffer and
his family.
However, Mr. Schaffer, one
of the largest operators in this
section with upwards of 25,000
acres to watch over, was more
concerned with the practical
aspect of the airplane when he
made the purchase.
He was thinking about the
time-saving in checking each
of the 45 windmills, the <5
miles of fencing, the 100 miles
of crossfencing, the 3,000 he^d
of Herefords, and a number of
other items that require a lot
of traveling.
The O’Neill rancher says that
good ranching practice requires
that all cattle, fences and wind
mills be seen at least twice a
week.
Mr. and Mrs. Schaffer’s
young son, Larry, has been
taking flying lessons and has
soloed. His sister, Patricia
Ruth, who will graduate from
the University of Nebraska
at the end of the summer
school, also has been taking
flying lessons. Shirley, a 1946
O’Neill high school graduate,
and Mary Elizabeth, sixth
grader, are flying enthusiasts.
Mr. Schaffer has a hunch
that thq plane might help solve
another thorny problem: keep
ing the kids down on the farm.
99 NEW 'PHONES
INSTALLED HERE
Unprecedented Growth a
Burden on Present
Facilities
An unprecedented demand for
telephone facilities has resulted in
the addition of 99 new telephones
—77 in the city and 22 in the rural
territory—since January 1, accord
ing to Harry Peterson, manager of
the Northwestern Pell Telephone
company’s office here.
This burden made it necessary
three months ago to change some
n' mbers from two-par4 v t-. four
party lines for residence use,
Peterson explained.
“Installation of more switch
board facilities is scheduled for
Fall.” he continued, “and when this
work is completed we will again
be able to furnish one-and two
party lines and restore the ones
that it became necessary to
change.”
Meanwhile, the local calling rate
has increased approximately 37
percent during this period. The
peak periods are between 9:30 and
11:30 a.m., 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., and
6:30 and 9:30 p.m.
The overall volume of long dis
tance calls is about one-third high
er than the wartime peak, and
fully twice as heavy as before the
war. The number of calls has in
creased sharply in the past few
weeks, and it is expected that the
overloading of telephone lines and
equipment will become still more
acute during the summer as vaca
tion travel and marketing of crops
add to the rush.

Furs, Watches, Diamonds
Scarce, Tax Records Show
Milady may find it difficult
keeping warm in Holt county
come winter. That is, provided
the citizenry has accurately re
ported to the assessors the
number of furs in the county.
The recently completed reports
compiled by County Assessor L.
G. Gillespie show a sfant 122
fur coats, and possibly a few of
these belong to men.
Diamonds are scarce items,
too. The county assessor can
count only 80, and thev are
valued at a meager $3,150.
There are only 39 cameras in
the county — roughly one for
each 400 persons. The 39
cameras are valued at $295.
Many persons in the county
are obliged to tell time by the
sun, because there are only 440
watches and clocks.
