RETURNS FROM THE WEST
VISITS IN CITY
Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Ofe are enter
taining a number of guests this week
at their home in this city, Mrs. Paul
Budig and son, Ralph, of Chicago,
who have been visiting at Grand
From Friday's Dally. .
T. H. Pollock, president of the
Farmer's State Bank, who has been
in the western portain of Nebraska
and in the eastern Colorado for some
time, has returned home accompan
ied by his wife and daughter. Miss
Alice, who were visiting at Arapa
hoe. Nebraska, with Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Patterson.
Mr. Pollock reports that wheat In
the west as rather disappointing
this season and In some fields the
yield will harly pay p be harvested.
This is due largely to the fact that
in the fall there was a lack of mois
ture that did not permit the wheat
to germinate properly and delayed
the start of the crop until so late
that it was backward in getting de
veloped. The usual harvest is In
July but this year the slowness of the
season foun dthe wheat still unma
tured when the rains of the late sum
mer came and this was followed by a
great deal of black rust In wheat
that caused more or less loss to the
farmers over the country. However,
the corn is looking fine, Mr. Pollock
states, and is the one bright spot In
the farming communities.

"
Former Governor of Nebraska Gives
Out Interview Saying Politi
cian His Worst Enemy.
-
Lincoln. Aug. 9. The Nebraska
farmer and the average farmer ev
erywhere, is In anything but a des
perate financial ' 'condition, former
Governor S. R. McKelvie told the
correspondent of the World-Herald
today at his Lincoln offices where
he presides over the publication of
his farm weekly. The Nebraska
Farmer.
The worst enemies that the farmer
has to contend with at present are
not the grain speculators or the
bankers, the former governor thinks,
but the politicians who are trying
to make the farmer feel bad and
trying to rouse him to some foolish,
radical steps for the personal ag
grandizement of the politicians
themselves.
"Don't worry, the great mass of
Nebraska farmers are not complain
ing much at the present time," Mc
Kelvie said. "They are pretty well
satisfied with the way things are go
ing:. They have paid back pretty
nearly all of the $11,000,000 they
borrowed from the war finance cor
poration and they have done it in
two years instead of three as they
would have been permitted to do.
Bumper Corn Crop in Sight
"They are looking forward to one
of the best corn crops in the history
of the state. They are expecting a
good price for this corn. They are
going to get good prices for their
hogs and for their cattle. The mar
ket on everything but whea is bet
ter than it has been at any time
since the war. And the average
farmer is in a much better condition
financially than he has been since
before the war.
"Of course the whole-wheat farm
erthe man who grows wheat exclu
sively is being hit hard by the pres
ent wheat market. But the loss sus
tained on the wheat crop is only a
3 per cent loss when it is spread over
the entire range of Nebraska farm
products."
Governor McKelvie expressed him
self as much pleased to see that
fanners were' making preparations
to hold their wheat for better prices
and to take advantage of the public
warehousing laws in order to be able
to do it.
The former governor, however,
was skeptical about whether or net
farmers would find it profitable to
store their grain in public ware
houses for a very long time. "I think
the storage charge of one cent per
bushel per month is exorbitant," he
said. " -
Governor McKelvie favor a the uti
lization ' of the 'Other '-warehousing
law passed during his administration
and which permits the farmer to
store his wheat in his own granary.
This would eliminate the high stor
ago charge, he declares.
The former governor also thinks
that one of the chief reasons behind
the Interest of elevator men to li
cense their eleva.toca.as bonded ware
houses is their desire to do every
thing possible to assist the farmer to
make better profits under present con
ditions. "After all their business de
pends upon the farmer's prosperity,"
he said.

CORN CROP IN
NEBRASKA SAID TO
BE IN GOOD SHAPE
Enonght Moisture Now to Insure a
Good Yield Hay and Alfalfa
Are Very Promising.
. The Nebraska corn crop is very
promising. Wheat yields are disap
pointing. Other small grains uneven
but the average satisfactory. Hay
will be plentiful. Condition of pota
toes and apples is lower, and sugar
beets fair according to the August
report of the division of crop and live
stock estimates.
The corn crop is very promising.
In general the moisture supply is
now sufficient for a fairly good crop
and another rain within a week will
be sufficient to make the maximum
yield. An early frost would do seri
ous damage as corn is late, 15 per
cent of the crop being planted during
the first two weeks of June. The
present condition of 87 per cent fore
casts a production of 220,399,000
bushels.
The average yield of winter wheat
is nearly 50 per cent below normal.
The preliminary estimate of 10.5
bushels per acre gives a total produc
tion of 27,773,000 bushels. Last
year the crop totaled 57,159,000
bushels. Generally, the wheat fields
have sufllcient straw for a normal
crop but duo to badly shrunken grain
and partly filled heads yields are
very low. Black stem rust is respon
sible for most of the loss in western
and northern sections. Perhaps the
best explanation for the low yields
in southeastern sections was the in
ability of the shallow root system to
meet the moisture demands of the
heavy straw and foliage after the
change from heavy rains which pack
ed the soil, to dry weather and high
temperatures
