MUCH WINTER
WHEAT ABANDON
ED IN NEBRASKA
Spring Plowing and Planting Back
ward Livestock Losses Great
er Than Last Year.
The abandonment of winter wheat
is approximately three times the us
ual and very severe in a few coun
ties. The condition is 82 per cent.
The condition of rye is 89 per cent.
Spring plowing and planting Is not
as far advanced as it was a year ago
this date. Losses of livestock, par
ticularly pigs, are considerably
greater than last year. These are the
leading points in the May report re
leased today by A. E. Anderson of
the bureau of markets and crop esti
mates, and Leo Stuhr, secretary, Ne
braska department of agriculture.
About 11.5 per cent of the winter
wheat crop is abandoned as compar
ed to 4.2 per cent the average for
the peariod 1915 to 1922, excluding
1917, the year of extreme loss. This
leaves approximately 3,499,000
acres for harvest as compared to 3,-
457,000 acres, the average harvest
ed area of the past four years.
The condition of winter wheat is
82 per cent as compared, to 92 per
cent a year ago and the ten-year av
erage of 89 per cent. The present
condition forecasts a production of
54.514,000 bushels as compared to
57.599,000 bushels last year.
With a few exceptions the aban
donment is very light in the coun
ties east of Merrick, Hamilton, Clay
and Nuckolls counties. West of these
counties, the losses range from av
erage to very severe. The reported
losses of important counties having
the heaviest abandonment are as
follows: Kearney, 70 per cent;
Adams. 60 per cent; Buffalo, 35 per
cent; Lincoln, 35 per cent; Keith,
35 per cent; Deuel, 35 per cent;
Cheyenne, 32 per cent; Kimball, 30
per cent.- The remainder of the im
portant wheat counties in central
and western Nebraska usually re
port losses up to 10 per cent, a few
reporting from 10 per cent to 20 per
cent abandonment.

Immune Hampshire Sows!
I have a few immune Hampshire sows which are to far
row within a few days; excellent individuals, and of the

a start in these hogs.

RULES OF GRAIN IN
SPECTION OUTLINED
Department of Agriculture Arranges
to Put Into Effect Greatly Im
proved Market System.
Washington. May 10. Plans for
putting into effect the revised rules
governing licensed grain inspectors,
inauguration of a new grain market
news service and a "know your own
wheat" campaign among farmers in
the spring wheat area were announc
ed today by the department of agri
culture. The changes in the inspection
rules, it was explained, were design
ed to meet requirements in the north
west without establishing any new
grades. They provide for reporting
in addition to the actual grade, those
factors which determine the grade
in the spring wheat classes.
Thru the new market service, it
was said, quotations on wheat will
not be confined to price ranges and
averages for grade No. 1, 2 or 3, but
will also quote the price of groups
with grades, such as 'No. 3, 15 per
cent moisture, otherwise No. 1."
These price quotations are expect
ed to indicate the true market of any
sample of wheat. The market service
is expected to cover ultimately all
important markets and will be in
augurated, it was announced at Min
neapolis, in co-operation with the
administrations -of the future trading
act and the grain standards act.
Wheat price quotations afe to be
gathered in the market and distrib
uted to farmers through the press, by
wire and by radio.
,' The "know your own wheat!' cam
paign will be conducted in co-opera
tion with the extension agencies of
the spring wheat states to instruct
farmers and country buyers in the
utilization of the new information
made available through the revision
of the grading rules and marketing

the Wurl store over the taking of
the package by the two women, an
investigation disclosed the fact that
the ladies were suspected of making
away with a drese from the Ladies
Toggery valued at something like
$25.
Before the two slick fingered ladies
could be apprehended by the police,
they made a quick disappearance
and although the chief of police
made the rounds of the passenger
stations they seem to have made a
clean getaway and are now thought
to have escaped by auto.
The two women were in the C. E.
Wescott's Sons store about 1:15 and
looked over a number of silk shirts,
but the watchful eye of Emil Hild.
the clerk, was on them and they did
not succeed In getting away with
anything there.
From the Wescott store they ap
parently visited the Toggery and
Wurl's store vnd then escaped:' Fred
Busch states that he was sorry he
was not at the Toggery when the
ladies visited there.
