BUMPER CROP IN NEBRASKA THIS YEAR larain Hen Unite in Saying Big Changs for Better in Condition According to the Lincoln Evening NV.vs crop prospects in Nebraska never looked more promising than now. This n the unarriir.ous opinion of local grain and elevator men. Farmers, too, are jubliant over the outlook ; in fact some of the most enthusiastic ones are free to predict that this season's crops will be greatest in state's history. Local grain men of Lincoln are very optimistic. ar.d when interviewed the members of four leading grain compan ies gae out statements to the effect that crop conditions over the state have improved wonderfully in the past month, ami the cancensus of opinion is that the wheat yield will be but litte short of last year. One f:rm gives out the following statement: "The wheat crop looks fine in most sections of the state, better in fact than at any previous time this year. Our prediction at this time is that the crop will perhaps be 25 per cent short of last vear, though it may turn out even better thar. vc anticipate. However, frt-m the numerous reports, many of which have been more or less conflict ing it seems improbable that the state will raise a large crop this season as last, especially when we think of last year's yield of .VJ.mm.o m bushels and realize that the crop was larger than any prev ious year. Prospects for the bumper com crop are quite encouraging at pres ent; in fact the plant is doing well, and has attained a good height. It is of a fairly good stand at least, and altogether the indications point to a yield equally as large if not bigger than last season. Of course unreasonable weather later on may damage it materially. Oats look tine and are growing rapidly, according to numerous dispatches in state, and the crop may be larger than last ..eason. All crops will be late this season. Mr. Eames of the Hayes & Karnes grain company takes the following view of ihe crop situation: "Improvement in wheat during the past thirty days has been wonderful in deed; so great in fact that we are led to believe from out reports that the jieldwill be 80 per cent of last year. Of course the crop last seaso of 52,000, 000 was unusally large- in fact it was about the largest ever raised in this state. The excellent climatic condi tions of late have caused the big im provement in wheat; the warm weather being just what was needed to ripen the grain. Of course it is too early to attempt to make an estimate of the yield, but our candid opinion is that the crop will at least be a good average one. Corn is doing well; at least the reports we receive each week tell us so, but the crop will be late as will wheat and oats. The later crop looks more promising than at any time this season, anil much better than at this time last year." A grain man connected with the Ne braska Elevator company has the fol lowing to say regarding crop conditions in the state: "We agree with the Hayes & Eames company in their opinion that the wheat crop will amount to 80 per cent of the total yield of last season. Crop condi tions have had a wonderful change of late and for the better. The improve ment is the result of the excellent weather we have been having, of the timely prociptation that gave the ground just the moisture it needed. As to corn and oats we contend that the present innications are far from dis couraging and with favorable weather and rain when needed, we will have a bumper yield of both grains."

Too Much M in Endearing Themselves io School Boards The following article is from the pen of Ossian H. Long, and appears in the July Forum. In many instances it hits the nail right squarely on the head: "There is in the United States no teachers' profession." Here is proba bly the sorest spot in our educational organization. There is too much dilet tante teaching, too much dilettante principaling. too much dilettante super intending. Good intentions there are in plenty, but these are of no more practical value to the children than are the good intentions of a physician to ward his patients. Of what comfort is it to the weeping parents to know that the physician loved their child, and would have saved him if he could, but that he did not know how! They would sooner have pardoned a lesser amount of sympathy, if there had been a better-trained judgment. In matters concerning education the people are not yet capable of distinguishing between surehanded expertness and bungling dilettanteism, though they are learning slowly and by costly experience, that there is such a difference. Many com munities have already discovered that the superintendent, at least, should be a trained specialist. However, there are still to be found too many of the "hurry boj-s!" type of superintendent, except in the art of endearing them selves to School Boards; principal and teachers, but expert in nothing else. They address every man most cordially as "Brother" or "Son, " andjthe women as "Sisters" or "My Girls." Their visits to the class rooms are brightened by funny stories, and the pages of their reports are illumined by'expressions of gratitude to everybody in town for hav ing helped make the local schools the glory of the State, ar.d fcr having brought them to their high grade of efficiency. But one by one these jolly good fellows are being replaced by those whose chief purpose is to serve the schools, and who know how to conduc t them in the light of the best thought and according to the most approved ex perience. The expert is more and more in demand. Bad Burn Quickly Healed. "I am so delighted with what Cham berlain's Salve has done for me that I feel bound to write and tell you so," says Mrs. Robert Mytton, 457 John St., Hamilton, Ontario. "My little daughter had a bad burn on the knee. I applied to Chamberlain's Salve and it healed beautifully." This salve allays the pain of the burn almost instantly. It is for sale by F. G.
