Lincoln, May 30. Much interest
is being shown in the Corn Yield con
test that i3 being conducted by the
Nebraska Crop Growers' association.
P. II. Stewart, secretary of tho asso
ciation, announces that more entries
are now in than was anticipated for
the first year of the content. The
purpose of the ontest is to c:.il at
tention to the best methods of raising
corn in different parts of the state.
Not all the emphasis in the contest
will be govern to high yields per
acre. In figuring up the winners,
this fall, they will be scored on the
basis of C5 7r for yield, 20 7c for the
cost of corn, 107o for quality and 5
for reports.
It is hoped that this contest v. ill
show the importance of crop rota
tions in that soil fertility must be
considered if hipli yiels are to be se
cured. V" ii of the contestant's en
trie fIio.v t'!:): their corn i-- on oid
alfaifa or clover land. The typ and
variety of seed and flu methods cf
planting and cultivating used by the
winners will be shown.
Nebraska has been divided into
eastern, central and western sections
for the contest. Entries now show
32 contestants in the eastern section,
5 in the central section; and 19 in
the western section. Washington
county leads with 11 entries.
The goal3 for the contest are 90,
70 and 50 bushels in the respective
sections. Cash prizes and medals are
being offered for the winners in each
region and contestants who equal or
exceed the goal for their section are
to be given a certificate of member
ship in the "Nebraska Maximum
Corn Yield Club." How many will
get in and who will be the first to
make such a club? is the interest
ing question which will be answered
this fall, says Mr. Stewart.

as Owners Do Not Come Under
Compensation Law.
A brief filed with the supreme
I judgment of Judge Colby that James
; Vasey and a half dozen Gage county
; neighbors are not responsible, under
jthe workmen's compensation law, to
I Alfred R. Keefover, who lost an arm
j while tending the thresher they
i owned. The legislature, when it
.passed the compensation law, ex
empted farmers from its operations
and farm laborers from its benefits.
The exact question involved in this
: case has never been passed on by
. the supreme court,
i The state commissioner held that
because the farmers did commercial
threshing they had come out from
under the protection of the law as to
them. The owners say that they (
never did any threshing for anybody
outside of their own group save one
who formerly owned a fourth inter
est and who insisted that he be
served as part of the agreement to
sell his interest.
Attorneys for the defendants, in
their brief, say that to decide that
they are liable will be to break down j
the law thru construction when the ,
intent of the legislature is evident.!
They say it would be a matter of
chagrin and mirth for the supreme
court to tell the farmers that wheat;
threshing is not farming. They in- j
sist that threshing is incident to ,
their regular business of farming :
and community ownership of a small ;
thresher, in their neighborhood, has
supplanted the old "method of one
men ownership going from farm to
farm.
